shippers and others in the northwest
are awaiting With considerable interest
a decision in the case of the Cannon
Falls Elevator company against the
Great Western and Milwaukee roads
which came up for a hearing here to-
day before the interstate commerce
commission. 1t is alleged in the COM
plant that the present grain rates
from Cannon Falls to market points
are unequal. While the rate on grain,
it is alleged. is but Is cents from
Cannon Falls to Chicago, and cents
from Cannon Falls to Minneapolis. the
through rates from Minneapolis to Chi

The complaint cites rye as an example
and alleges that because of the rate to
Chicago it is unable to get a foothold
on the Louisville market, which takes
an immense quantity of rye annually,
and would be glad to have southern
Minnesota grim if it could be put
down there on an even basis with that
which takes the through rate.

are forced to give way, from the stand

In the west interest centers largely
in the game between the University of
Chicago and the Haskell Indian team,
the result of which will give the

OWL GULCH is IN IDAHO
DR.. Hudnutt Places It in Lemhi County
in Bitter Roots

DIR. F. o. Hudnutt, general manager
of the Multnomah Mining company
Is In the city from Montana, where he
has been looking over the mining sec
tions, says the Spokesman's Review
He states that the Owl gulch boom is
still on and that good finds are being
made. Speaking of the district, DR..
Hudnutt said:
'The general impression seems to
prevail, and, In fact. the press Of the
country state that the Owl gulch camp
is In Montana. Such is not the case.
The camp is located in Lemhi county,
Idaho. The famous gulch is 1887 miles
from Spokane. with Hamilton, Mont,
as the nearest railroad point. A stage
ride from Hamilton brings one 25 miles
nearer the camp. The gulch is on the
west slope of the Bitter Root noun
tains, sixty miles northwest of Salmon
City, Idaho, and about eighty miles due
east of Dixie 1t is tributary to the
Salmon river and is about fifteen miles
long.
1T is supposed. that these deposits
mark the place from which all the
placer gold of the Salmon river came
There has been many search for that
mother lode that was supposed to sup
ply the placer gold of that river, and
the mining men in that section claim
that tn ore bodies in Owl gulch are the
deposits from which came the placer
gold.
THE finds located by w. D. Cross
near the head of the cany) IN are said
to be exceptionally rich. l saw some
of the samples and a great deal of
placer gold is visible, while all the rock
is heavily mineralized Mr.. Cross has
located thirty seven claims for New
York parties and he believes he has a
great thing.
THE elevation of the gulch is about
5000 feet, and the snow is beginning
to fall. 1t is now too late to get into
the camp, but next spring there should
be rush, as there appears to be good
chances there"
