Washington, Feb 5.-Senator Elkins
says that his ''limited pooling" bill in
troduced yesterday is intended for the
protection of smaller roads so that they
snall So not be absorbed by the larger ones.
Ine Dill, which Is distinctively compro-
mise measure, has been expected for sew
eral weeks. Elkins is chairman of the
senate committee on interstate commerce
and his friendliness for railroad corpora
tlons has for years been a subject Of re-
mark. :
When he said he would draft a bill in
creasing the powers Of the interstate COM
merce commission and permitting pool
Ing, everybody was at once on the qui
vive, for 1t was assumed that the EIkins
bill would represent railroad sentiment.
When introduced. however, the bill was
so apparently<a a compromise measure that
1t is difficult to say what interest it rep
resents. 1t Is perhaps one of the most
important bills with which congress will
have to deal this session, for it affects
the second largest and most important in
dustry Of the country. Senator Elkins ad-
mits that his bill may be opposed both by
the Interstate commission and rail-
roads. since its provisions will not
ly displease in some cases. He
intimates, however, that such a
bill is the best that can be framed with
any hope of success. While the inter-
state commission may have the strength
with congress to defeat a pooling bill
which does not give it additional power,
the railways also quite certainly have
strength enough to defeat measure Civ
ing the commission additional power and
not including pooling bill feature. The
interstate commission, however, is on
record as favOring pooling
Senator Elkins states that in his opinion
law legalizing pooling by railways is a
necessity for the preservation of rates and
for the protection Of smaller railways.
The only possible hope for the passage Of
Elkins' bill will lie in the willingness Of
the railroads and Interstate commission to
accept 1t as the best thing that is possi-
BILE at this time, leaving to future con-
crosses to perfect the measure. What
these interests will do cannot now be-
known, although the mere fact of the in
PRODUCTION of the bill by man like
Elkins argues something in favor of it's
acceptance.

LOGS HELD UP.
Penobscot Lumbermen Short Many
Millions Feet of Their Cut.

Between 10000, 900 and 25,000,000 feet
of logs are hung up on the Penobscot
river and its branches this spring be-
cause of the early season ard the fact
that hauling in the woods became i'm
possible by the early disappearance of
the snow. 1t is estimated that the en-
tire Penobscot cut this season is about
10000, 600 feet. The operators are usu-
ally able to haul for 25 days later than
was the case this spring and many of
them were totally unprepared for the
disappearance of the snow so early. All
of the logs which were hung up will
not be brought down river until next
season.
The first logs hung up on the West
branch were cut under a permit to j.
w. Burke & Son of Lee. They were
hauled into Quakish lake and it is esti-
mated that 100000 to 100000 will be
left. On Cooper brook the Twin Lake
Lumber Co. has from 100000 to 1,5OO,-
600 left on the yards. James Rice d
Co. have about 100000 on the yards at
Nahmakanta. From 100000 to 1,OO0,-
900 feet belonging to George Gray of
Old Town, are hung up on Harrington
lake. Isaac Terrill OF Old Town, also
has some which he will be unable to
get down river.
McNulty & Mcleod have from 1,000.-
600 to 100000 hung up at Ripogenus
and Smart has some on Chesuncook
lake. Ross &c Appleton have about l.
600, 900 on Lobster lake. Gilbert q Me-
Nulty have about the same amount on
Moose Horn stream. The Twin Lake
Lumber 60. has on Alder and Hale
brooks and the main south branch from
100000 to 100000. On the South
branch, above Canada falls, the Great
Northern Paper Co. has the same
amount, Marsh & Aver from 1000, 900
to 100000 on CaucummOgac.
In addition to these logs on the West
branch there are considerable num-
Der on the East branch which will not
reach the mills until next season. There
are millions of feet on the Wesa ticook,
Trout brook and some on Scbois.-Ban-
