Tho onato ratea on lath and shingles, which wero higher than the houso rates, also were adopted. Votes went taken on rough lumber at $1.25 and at $1. CO, but no agree ment could bo reached except at tho $1.40 rate for rough, with the senate differentials on (In lined lumber.

The print paper rato was fixed at $3.75 a ton. Thl Is only 25 cents lbs than tho senate rate and $1.75 more than the house rate. It Is expected that thl rato will arouse the Ire of the house commltteo which Investigated tho wood pulp and paper question. Hide were loft on tho free list, con tlngent upon the adoption of tha house rule authorizing the conferee to go below the houso ratea in fixing tho rote on leather and leathor products.

I hey told tho president they wero de termined to light for tho lower rato and it was said that tho house would hnvo the president's support on this feature of tho tarllT measure.

Tho rates on these schedules, a ten tatively arranged ponding the accept ance by both house of tho program for a reduction In tho duties on leather rnanufacturca'below the ratos fixed by tho house, follow: Oil, frco.

It seems probable that President Taft will meet President Ulax. or Mexico, at ban An tonio, Tex., instead of El Paso late in Septombcr or early in Oetobor.

July 2C All yesterday four-horso teams, hauling wagon piled high with railway camp equipment, have trekked out of The Dalle, bound tor tho Deschutes river. , Beginning at 7 o'clock In the morning It wa not until C In tho afternoon that the last of the 40 wagons shipped hero by Porter Pros., railroad contractors, who are supposed to be working for the Hill railways, wended It way to tho south eaL Indications are almost conclusive that Porter Oro., Intend to establish not two, but five or six camps, ss if preparing to cover the entire ground of the Oregon Trunk line surveys. They themselves did not know, was the re ply given by representatives of the Oregon Trunk to Inquiries as to the number of camps and places of location. Every indication Is that men and equipment were secured hastily, and it Is believed hero to be true that the contractors only know in a goneral way where the camps will bo established. Elthor a sudden decision to contest with Harriman for the traffic of Cen tral Oregon or tho sudden acquisition of knowledge that the Oregon Trunk would bo down and out very soon unless it bogan construction is believed to bo the csusa of tha rushing of men into the Deschutes country. Either alternstive raises conjecture as to whether Porter Oro. are playing a hold-up gamo on Harriman or are backed by James J. Hill or actually In tend to build a railroad themselves.
