It was found to be impracticable to handle these interests separately, so Robertson's contingent fifth interest of the Hcnd Town site Company and half interest of the Water Company arc taken and will be consolidated with the Drake holdings iti a new consolidation to be known as the Hcnd Company. Neither Drake or Robertson will have any share in the new company. The purchase of the entire holdings required material modifications of the plan contem plated when negotiations were entered upon two months ago, but speedy completion of the detail is now largely a matter of routine. A. O. Hunter and Clyde McKay have gone cast to close matters there, and I will push the work here at this end. (Signed) J.M. LAWRENCE.

COME TO BEND Today the freight rates on the Oregon Trunk Railway, between Portland and Mctollus go into effect. A complete synopsis of Uie new rate, and a comparison of Uie old Shaniko rates, is given below. In addition to Uie froight tariffs, General Freight & I'juwengor Agent Ooman made announcement of Uie passenger service. The passenger service will consist jf two trains daily, passengers leav ing Madras at 7:45 in Uie morning and arriving in PorUand at 8:15 in tho evening, and PorUand at 9 o'clock in Uie morning, arriving at Madras at 8.'30 in tho evening. Be tween PorUand and Fallbridge, on the Columbia, passengers will travel on Uie Inland Empire Express of Uie North Bank. The river will be crossed on the Rteamcr Norma and at Moody on the Oregon shore pass engers will step into Uie coaches of tho Oregon Trunk. This transfer will be eliminated wiUi the comple tion of Uie steel bridge across the Columbia this summer. The equipment of the Oregon Trunk trains will consist of a com bination car, day coaches and a smoker unUl completion of Uie bridge across Uie Columbia, when more equipment will be added. For the first Umc upon any new branch road in the West a parlor car will be included in the initial equipment of Uie Oregon Trunk Railway. It is believed that die run between Portland and Madras will be made in eight hours as soon as the road bed is properly ballasted. Since February 22nd there has been passenger accomodation on the O. T. Ry., leaving Fallbridge at 5 a. m one coach being hitched on to a construcUon or "swing" train. Tlio trip to Madras on several oc casions has consumed 18 hours.

On March 10th 200 settlers leave Chi cago direct for Uie Deschutes Valley. All colonist rates from Uie East will apply to Central Oregon points, by special ruling of Uie Interstate Commerce Commission. This means Uie fare from St. Paul to Metoliun will be $25, and from Chicago $33. Passengers will be routed direct.
