Several minor officers of the lodge

The first three officers were re-e1ect-
ed.
The selection of Mrs. Mantor as grand
chief Of honor was a testimonial of her
successful work in the organization
field of the order. During the last three
years she has organized twenty-five
lodges, and she has become thoroughly
acquainted with the ladies Of the De-

WILL GET TOGETHER.
A Meeting of the TrnnscOntinental
Roads Practically Arranged.

In all probability there will be another
meeting of roads next week to secure the
restoration Of transcontinental passenger
rates. The meeting will be held either at
Montreal or Chicago The Canadian Pacific is
anxious to have the conference at the first
named city, but all the American lines
prefer the Windy City, the c. P. officials will
probably be obliged to give way.
Although the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern have refused to arbitrate, their re-
fusal is not absolute. The Canadian Pacific is
desirous Of only arbitratipg a portion of the
disputed points, while the two American
transcontinental lines hold that 1t is useless to
argue anything but the entire matter and if
an agreement can be reached on this ques-
ton a settlement of the trouble is not impos-
sible.
The Canadian Pacific seems to be in better
shape to stand the terrific rate war than was
at first supposed, and the officials figure out
that every American passenger carried by
their line is clear gain. The competing lines,
especially the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, suffering great losses from the
cut by the C. P, but they obliged to
stand to their guns surrender forever

CHICAGO, March est Is rumored
that H. L. Shute, one Of the commits
sioners of the Western Traffic bureau,
which was practically abolished here
today, will go to Minneapolis to handle
the flour traffic for all the lines Jointly
j. w. Midgley who was relieved from
his position of chairman of the bureau,
Is said to be after an appointment on
the interstate commerce commission,
and is bringing all influence possible
to bear upon the proper authorities to
secure the place.
CHICAGO, March 23-The Western
Joint Traffic bureau, as far as it's pow
er to control rates or direct the actions
of the Western roads in rate making
is concerned, has passed out of exist
ence. Chairman Midgley, who has
been at the head of the Western
Freight association, and later at the
head Of the Joint Traffic bureau, will
retire on the first Of next month and
leave matters in the hands of Commits
sioners Parker, Shuttle, COPYRIGHT and
Wellington.
The roads have a contract with these
commissioners that has yet one year
to run, and during that time they will
be employed in looking after the freight
rate sheets, the compilation of statis-
tics and similar matters. They will
have nothing to do with the making
Of rates or their maintenance in any
part Of the Western territory
Commissioner Parker will be at the
head Of the organization for one year
and then such action will be taken re-
garding it's continuance as shall at that
time be determined by circumstances.
All this was settled at meeting of
the executive officers of the roads
which are members Of the joint traffic
bureau today.
There was general opinion that the
organization had become too expensive
for the services it was able to render
to the railroads, and 1t was a foregone
conclusion that its powers would be
limited very largely. There was not
work for all the commissioners, and, as
the contract Of Chairman Midgley had
expired and those Of the other COM
missioners still a year to run, it was
decided that they should have the con-
troll Of the organization during the life
of their contracts at the least. The
organization has been a failure as a
means of maintaining and controlling
rates ever since the PRONUNCIATION of
the supreme court decision declaring
illegal all organizations having for
their object the control of rates.

A voluminous looking document was
filed yesterday in the office of Secre-
tary of State Berg by several Polk
county citizens. 1t is signed by 2,511
legal voters of the county petitioning
for a division of the county.
1t is the same old fight which has
been on in Polk county for eight or ten
years back. At every election in the
county for several years the division of
the county has been one of the local
issues. The people of the rural districts
of Polk county are somewhat divided
upon the subject of splitting up of
the county.
The law requires that 25 per cent Of
the legal voters shall petition for d.
vision before it can be brought to the
attention of the state officials.

N. p. IDAHO EXTENSION.

Road Is to Have Competitor to
Lewiston.
The Northern Pacific 1t is reported is to
have a competitor in the traffic to be opened
up by the new extension now being built to
Lewiston, Idaho. The Northern Pacific is
building into Lewiston from Genessee, Idaho.
1t has been learned that surveyors in the
employ Of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
company are surveying a line from Pomeroy,
Wash, to Lewiston, and that the proposed
line will be all laid by next August.
The Northern Pacifc's branch will be COM
pleted by next June. Both lines are anxious
to secure the business Of transporting the
mining supplies which Lewiston will need to
supply the mining districts In the vicinity OF
Elk City and Florence
1t is expected that now the two roads will
connect Lewiston and its tributary country
with Spokane by rail. many mining mills will
be constructed in that locality at once.
