Grove line to Tillamook this year.
People 111 the vicinity oi McMinnville, ;
Lafayette and Dayton are le<l to believe
that there is to be an important change
made in the operation of the Southern
Pacific’s west side lines. By the con
struction of a two-mile cutoff from Mc
Minnville, through Lafayette, to connect
with the direct line from Portland to
Independence, trains could be run from
McMinnville straight to Portland by a
loute many miles shorter than the pres-
ent line via Forest Grove. Recently a
change has been made in the ordinances
of Lafayette by which the railroad com
pany is granted a right of way through
the town. Rights of way for the two
miles 01 proposed track have been secur
ed. It is said the company intends to
build the cutoff this year.
I In the event of such a change in the
I loute from McMinnville, it is said the
company will construct a bridge across
the Willamette river near Oregon City,
1 to do away with a trestle-work curve
' around a point ot rocks on the river
where there is constant danger and ex
■ pense of maintenance. This would have

The Farmers’ Advocate of Winnipeg.
Canada, in a recent issue,called attention
to a very peculiar state of affairs in the
meat industry of that country. It seem*
tliat the Canadian cured ham and bacon
sells on the local Canadian markets for
17 to 19 rents, while the products of the
big packers of this country Bring 25
cents, and those imported from Belfast
and Wiltshire sell at 30 to 35 cents. Tin
complaint is that the Canadian packers
ought to wake up and charge mart
money lor their products and, if pos.-ibh
improve the quality a little, or, in other
words, get up to date like their neigh
hors in the states.
Such talk as that certainly sounde
st range to the ears of the American wIn
for the last several reais ha» had experi
cnee w ith high pi ice meat and has found
to his sorrow that the relationship ex
isting between the price paid for live
stock ami that secured for the dressed
meats is similar to forty-ninth cousins.
If Canadians want high priced meal
ami low priced live stock, which appnr
entlv go together, all they need to do is
to organize a beef trust and their desires
will be gratified in very short order. Th'
charge made bv a writer in the Farmers'
Advocate that the Winnipeg packers arc
behind the times would appear to be cor
rect, for it they were not they would long
since have had the duty on ham and
bacon raised from 2 cents to 15 cents pct
pound, advanced their prices according
lv, lowered the quality of their goods
and paid less for their hogs. That, in
short, is the up to date method of con.
ducting a business.
Now that the Beef Trust in this conn
tiy is being prosecuted it may be that
Canada will look particularly inviting
and in that event Winnipeg might get
some packers who are not only up to
date but actually ahead ol the times.

To determine whether an express com

when it accepts shipments of beer or

ernment via the Western Express Com

United States Court of Appeals. Appeal
is made by the express company from
the decision of the United States District
Court of North Dakota, which declared
the express company was acting in the
capacity of a liquor-dealer in carrying
from ^Milwaukee and St. Paul into
North Dakota, and sustained the claims
of the Government for $2712.50 as an
internal revenue tax. Final decision on
this question will affect every express

Kav’s fiat salary bill passed the Senate
with only four dissenting votes, the
negative votes being by Brownell,
Haines, Rand and Sichel, who declared
their unwillingness to support a measure
which they believed to be plainly in con
travention of the constitution. Presi
dent Kuykendall, who two years ago
refused to vote for a similer bill on con
stitutional grounds, voted in the affiirm-
ative, saying that he has not changed
his opinion, but is willing to pass the
constitutional question up to the Su
preme Court. The bill as passed by the
Senate will go into effect in January,
1907, at the expiration of the terms of
preseut incumbents. It fixes salaries as
follows : Governor, $5000 ; Secretary of
State $4500 ; State Treasurer, $4500 ;

Nearly every civilized country in the
world has in the last few years witnessed
experiments in ploughing with the aid of
electric power. Italy has recently seen
the thing done, with apparatus invented
and manufactured by the Electro-Tech-1
nical Society, of Turin. From the des-j
cription sent to Washington by one of
the American consuls it, is not evident
that any radical departure lias been 1
effected from the methods tried in other ■
countries. The tests were made for ex
hibition purposes, in the presence oi
representative men near Turin and else
where in Italy. The consul who reports
them has the impression that they have ,
been successful, or. in other words, that
the system is practicable for certain
localities—which was known before—
but he supplies no information as to cost
and economy.

After nearly four days of discussion
the House of representatives at Wash,

the regulation of freight rates, The
negative vote was made up of 11
Republicans and six Democrats, The
closing hours of the debate were occupied
by Williams (Miss ), the minority leader,
and Hepburn (la ), chairman of the
committee which reported the bill.
Williams, while supporting the minority
mcnsufc. even though he said he anew
it could not pass, complimented the
Republicans lor bring in a bill whkh
was much better than he expected would
come from them. The speech of Hep
burn was rather in defense of himself.
He said his deeds and acts were a suf-
•icH-nt answer tn the “ lies and slanders
which had l»een heaped Mj»on him.” The
Hepburn bill, he said, had been prepared
by the AttorneyOncrnl and he only
yielded to his collragues on the Bsch-
Townsend bill because he did not want
sensational headlines.
