that no other+paper can claim to be
its equal. The whole field Of news
is covered thoroughly. The special
features and illustrations are always
the best. More noted writers con
tribute to it's columns than to any

of that large class of readers who
have not the opportunity or cannot
afford to read daily paper.
The Geographic and cable service

Agnew made the trip with the company's
photographers for the purpose of getting
matter for booklets which the company
will publish during the winter. In speak
ing of the condition of crops throughout
the West and the Great Northern's i'm
provements along its lines, he said yes
terday:
The general conditions are all that
could be expected. Through Montana
crops are in excellent shape, though a
little late. Fruit in Washington will be
a valuable crop this year. Strawberries
were ripe when we were there and the
finest cherries in the land were on the
market. All fruits are somewhat late,
but the yield Will be large and quality SUI
perior In the Milk River valley we found
that number of new towns have sprung
up and the outlook is very good Crops
are in the best of condition and farmers
are jubilant.
In regard to the company's improve
ments. a large amount of work is being
done. All along the Columbia river curves
/, ere being Strengthened and grades lower
ed and thousands are being expended in
track improvements. The cascade tunnel
will be completed by fall. About two
miles have been completed and the work
is being pushed with all possible dispatch.
Through Montana iron bridges are taking
the place of wooden structures and stone
piers being put in. The track improve
ments near MinOt are nearly completed
and put the road in better condition than
it has ever been.
Seattle is the busiest city on the coast
at present. The boom excitement has
subsidized and the city has gone back to
good old-fashioned methods and is grow
ing rapidly. Business is good and the
territory adjacent gives the city excellent
trade. In all the coast cities the same
conditions We're met. There is reason to
suppose that present conditions will con-
tinue and that the era of prosperity will
be OF long duration.
We found a new beauty spot eleven
miles north. of Midvale, Mont 1t is call

extremely beautiful, even rivaling that

TROUBLE is PREDICTED.
Il. c. StOhr Doesn't Like the Looks
of Things South.

p c. Stohr, general traffic manager of
the Great Western, has returned from
st. Louis, where he attended the recent
freight conference. He predicts a gen.
eral rate war between the rail and water
lines in the South, unless the Kansas
City, PittsbWg & Gulf retires from its
present position The conference resulted
in opening the eyes of those in attend
ance to the growing power of rail and
water competition. The results were not
satisfactory. The present conditions In
territory south of st. Louis are such that
unless speedy measures are taken to adj
just present differences, a rate war, which
will affect even the Northern cities as far
as the head of the lakes, is predicted. The
point of contention is the fact that the
Pittsburg & Gulf, the road recently COM
pleted from Kansas City to Port Arthur
on the gulf, is knocking all rail rates on
the head by publishing rail and water
rate, New York to Kansas City Of so
cents. This is 81 cents less than the all
rail rate. AS a result, the competition
has cut into the business Of the all-rail
roads in an alarming manner, and gen.
eral rate war is promised unless the low
rate is withdrawn or the road agrees to
a, compromise.

VISITING JOBBERs.
Meeting With Railroad Men To-day
to Talk Over Freight Rates.

Jobbers from St. Louis, Chicago, Kan
sas City, Omaha, st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth will meet this morning at
10 o'clock in the rooms of the jobbers'
union, to confer with officials of the
Western lines regarding freight differen-
tials from different points to Missouri
river and Montana territory. The meet
ing VIII decide a matter of considerable
Importance to the hardware interests of
the middle and central West and a large
attendance is expected.
q, The hardware rates are the principal
contention. Under the present system
these rates are made by the Western
roads from Chicago and ST. Louis
on the basis of local rates to
St. Paul for Missouri river points.
The Chicago and st. Louis hard
ware jobbers claim that on account
of the favorable basis of lake and rail
rates from Eastern sources of supply to
Duluth and the Twin Cities that they are
at a disadvantage in reaching Montana
points and the Missouri river territory
They will ask for a lessening in the diff
ferentials. The ground to be taken by
the local jobbers is not vet made public
Both interests will state their claims be-
fore the conference and it is expected
that a decision will be arrived at.
