Governor Brady Pledge Support to
Movement for Opening Door
From Interior to Sea.
Boise, Feb. 27. A state-aided rail
road from Dotso to Coos bay is tho
chief object of tho Oregon-Idaho De
velopment congress, which opened to
day, attended by 100 representative
men from Eastern and Central Oregon
and Southeastern Idaho.
Tho object of tho congress was heart
ily endorsed by Governor Brady, who
welcomed tho delegates. He said he
would pledge his support for any ac
tion which would give Idaho better
means of transportation and open its
, doors to reach tho seaports of tho Pa
cific Hq spoke of the growth of the
state, its wonderful development and
ts great resources, stating that it
would continue to grow and, even If
walled in, would continue to develop,
as it had all tho resources needed if
left to stand alone.
"But," he continued, "we want to
extend our resources into Idaho. When
tho Panama canal is completed it will
mean ono of the greatest freight rate
reducers for tho West that it could
possibly have, for at that time tho
great steamers from the bast will un
load cargoes at San Francisco, Port
land, Seattle and Coos bay."
He spoke of the situation of the city
of Lewiston and stated that he expect
ed to live to see the day wehn it would
have an open waterway to the sea and
the products of Idaho would float on
the bosom of the Snake and Columbia
to the Pacific and the commercial ports
of the world.
The governor stated that he would do
all In his power to further the move
ment and that some action should be
taken at once before the one line which
dominated the state had secured all the
best valleys and left nothing but those
of second class for a new road. He
closed by praising the Commercial club
and the citizens of Boise and stated
they would all understand the real
meaning of hospitality before they re
turned home. His address was well
received and be was given hearty ap
plause at the close.

Judge Anderson Makes Pottlbta Max
imum $720,000.
Chicago, Feb. 26. A reduction from
Judge Land!' fine of $29,240,000 to a
posilblo mnxlmuin fine of $720,000 Is
admitted to be tho meaning of a ruling
mado today by Judge Anderson in the
retrial of the Standard Oil company of
Indiana (or rebating. Tho ruling was
Informal, but it almost certainly will
stand.
The Court of Appeals In rulinir out
Judge Landis' great flno eliminated tho
view that each carload of oil on which
a rebate was accepted constituted a
soparato olTvnse. There were 1,402 of
these carloads, the freight charges for
which were paid in 30 dlllVrnent set
tlements. Judge Anderson interpreted tho de
cision, which, he said, served us his
guide, to Imply that the rebates ac
cepted after each of the 30 settlements
constituted the units of ofTense,
Judgo Anderson's ruling was a se
vere blow to District Attorney Sims.
no ana his assistant, Janus II. Wll
kerson, had argued that each of tho
COO shipment, making poaaiblo n max
imum of $10,000,000. constituted an
offense. This view Judge Anderson
declared ho could not understand. Ho
saw no reason why, if a trnlnlond or n
carlot wero regarded as n scparnto
offense, th? matter might not be fur
ther divided, making a hundredweight
or a gallon, a unit, greatly increasing
tho number of ofTenscs nnd magnify
ing tho punishment.
Mr. Wilkcrson argued that tho flno
possiblo under tho court's ruling would
serve merely as a licenso to a (treat
corporation. On this Judgo Andorson
said in effect:
"That is a consideration which has
no weight with me whatever. I am
not concerned with the effectiveness of
tho statutes, hut with their interpreta
tion and application. If tho view that
I have taken hat tho effect you stated,
that Is a matter for the lawmakers to
consider. If tho laws nro Inadequate.
