Roosevelt Visits Agricultural College
Howell Presides at Meeting.


Logan, Sept, 20.-The special train
containing Theodore Roosevelt and his
party arrived here at 1915 o'clock this
morning, instead Of 11:15, the time

of perhaps 100 persons As the hour
for the meeting had been announced
as 1880, Mr.. Roosevelt, accompanied
by Senators Carter and ShouD, Cover
nor Wells. John Henry Smith, Reed
Smoot, and other distinguished gentle
men, drove to the Agricultural college.
They were received by President Kerr,
who conducted them about the college
and surrounding grounds.
The meeting in the tabernacle began
at 11:20- II was attended by about 1000
persons Senator Joseph Howell was
introduced as chairman. He in turn
presented Mrs J. Ellen Foster, who in
dulged in a lot of fulsome praise OF
Mckinley and Roosevelt.
"The hero Of San Juan" came next.
He harDed awhile on the old theme of
Democracy always being in the tail Of
the national procession, picturing De-
mocracy as refractory steer which had
to be roped in order to be brought into
the national corral. He said nothing of
silver, nothing of expansion, tarln or
any other issue The general teeIlng
was one of disappointment.
c. z. Allen of Utah followed Roose-
Welt, declaring that Bryan refused 10

and finally wound up with the en-
phatic declaration that silver IS not an
issue in this campaign.

NORTHERN PACIFIC Is OUT.
VIII Not Join Other Western Roads
in Freight Agreement.


New York, Sept. 20.-The Times says:
The optimistic views of the result of
Tuesdays conference of western presi-
dents, as expressed by Chairman JEFF
ferry on Tuesday. are not generally
shared by freight representatives and
other railroad men in this city. That
the absence from the conference of rep
resentatiVes of the Northern Pacific
was more or less of an intentional
slight, ard that it foreboded i'll for the
future of the St Paul committee was
shown by the statement from President
Mellen of the Northern Pacific.
will the Northern Pacific" he was
asked, Join in the organization of the
proposed st. Paul traffic committee?''
1.-THE Northern Pacific answered
President Meilen, will under no cir
cumstances join in any pool, traffic
committee, or other such agreement,
and Mr. Jeffrey has received no assur-
ances from US to the effect that we are
faVorably disposed to such plan
This statement was made very en-
phatically and, as it is hardly probable
that the other roads will organize a
committee without the Northern Pa
cific, the territorial committee plan may
have to be abandoned.
But aside from this it was pointed
out by railroad officials that in spite
of all statements it was evident that
the conference had again failed to ac-
complish anything.
The appointment of committees that
are to report at the next conference is
nothing more. nor less than procrasti-
nation" said 90 freight official. 1.-The
committees may consider as much as
they please; when ii comes to report
ing their deliberations at the next con-
ference it will be found that no con-
clusion has been reached"
Another official, whose knowledge of
the freight situation throughout the
country is very accurate, said:
THE great Question which the presi-
dents have not answered and cannot
solve is, what shall be done with the
lOW-rate contracts entered into between
the western roads and their central
traffic association connections on bust
ness originating in trunk line territory,
and which iow-rate contracts do not
expire until next year% The answer to
this question is explanation of why
nothing definite has been done, and
why the committees have been ordered
to report at the December conference.
Nothing can be done until these con-
tracts have expired, which will be soon
after the December conference. One
OF the principal Items of freight cover
ed by these contracts is the tremen-
dOUs apple crop of New York state. a
large part of which viii be moved west
at low rates.
1t is understood that one of the mat
tiers under discussion at Tuesdays con-
ference, and which raised quite a dis
turbance, was the demand that the
Chicago & Great Western return to the
roads the sum of $4,000 which. II was
claimed, it had received in excess of its
share in the freight pool. Report has
ii that the report of that road made
most strenuous objection to this de-
mand and that the matter is not yet
settled.

CREDIT GIVEN TO WEST.
Responsible For Good Showing Made
By Northern Pacific.


New York, Sept 20.-At a meeting of
the board of directors of the Northern
Pacific the annual report has been ap-
proved and will probably be given out
tomorrow. says the Times. The traffic
agreement between the Northern Pa
cific and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul, for use by the latter between St
Paul and Duluth, was approved, and il
only lacks the approval of the Milwau-
kee board Of directors.
President Melien, after the meeting
in speaking of the business conditions
in the west, said that Washington
Idaho and Oregon were exceedingly
prosperous, and that it was entirely
due to the earnings of the western part
of the road that the general showing
was so good. as the western divisions
surplus overbalanced the deficiency in
the eastern part
On the eastern division the traffic
was 259 cars per day less than last
year, due to the failure of crops. The
addition of the St. Paul & Duluths
earnings should make an increase of
about $1,000 per day. Il earnings for
the next few months showed an aver
age increase of less than this amount
1t would have to be assigned TO the
failure of the eastern division of the
Northern Pacific to keep up its earn
ings.

Word From New York That No More
Cutting Goes.

A dispatch TO one of the general
agents yesterday confirmed the expec-
tations that the meeting of executive
officials in New York would put a
damper on the recent furry in rates.
The agreement reached is that there be
no more rate cutting, and the war so
frequently heard of is as far distant
as it was three weeks ago.
The shading that has been going on
for ten days past has given business
men great chances to reap rewards "a I'd
they were not slow to take advantage
of it. While the penalty attached to
the violation of the interstate commerce
law in respect to rates is severe. cases
of prosecution and conviction are very
