When asked how she felt and how long
she thought she would live, Mrs. Cos

NEW COMMODITY TARIFF MADE
BY THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY.
Spokane Loses Lewiston Trade Which
Is Claimed Will Now Be Divert.
ed to Portland.

The new commodity tariff Of the
Northern Pacific covering rates on
grain and millstuffs between points in
Washington, Oregon and Idaho prac-
tically doubles the rates on cereals and
breakfast foods, says the Review. This
end is accomplished not by any direct
advance in the rates quoted, but by
dropping those products from the list
of those entitled to the millstuffs COM
modify rates and leaving them to bear
classified rates.
For instance, under the former tariff
the rate on cereals and breakfast foods
from Spokane to Walla Walla was q
cents per hundred, while now it is y
cents; to Davenport it was 9 cents,
while now it is IS; to Ritzvile it was
II cents, while now it is 80 cents and
to Lewiston it was II cents, while now
it is 80 cents.
The advance in the Lewiston rate in
addition to being a directly heavier
charge for carrying the products. is so
advanced as to give Portland dealers
in those products a distinct advantage
over Spokane shippers, where before
they enjoyed an advantage. Under the
former tariff the rate from Spokane to
Lewiston was II cents per hundred, a
rate less than that from Portland to
the same point. The new rate from
Spokane to Lewiston is so cents per
25 cents. The effect of the change
will be to initiate against the bust
ness of Spokane dealers in the Lewis
ton territory.

PUT IN RESERVES
Pinchot Is In Favor Of Setting Aside

Within a few days the bureau of for

1000, 900 acres or more. These are the

serve, Walla Walla or La Grande re-
serve, which extends into Washington,
and the Joseph river, or Chesnlnlmus'
reserve.
The bureau of forestry, since the
withdrawal of these vast tracts, has
made a detailed examination OF each
quarter section, and knows definitely
the character of each subdivision. In
recommending the creation of perma-
nent forest reserves, the bureau has
drawn boundary lines very irregularly,
so as to eliminate, as far as practical,
all agricultural land and all lands
which have passed into private own
ership. The general outline of the va
rious reserves will allow the lines of

Spectators Headed of.

Before recommending the creation of
the reserves, Chief Forester Pinchot
endeavored to head off all opportunity
for fraudulent and unfair operations,
and believes he has SO drawn the re-
serve boundaries as practically to pre-
vent the creation of base for lieu Sc
lectiOns on any considerable scale.
Those lands lying around the outer
limits of the Blue Mountain with
draWal, which We're apparently entered
a year or more ago for speculative
permanent reserve recommended, and
will not become base lands.
The forestry bureau is anxious that
prompt action be taken on its recon-
mendation so that presidential procla-
nation can soon issue creating these
four reserves. Land Commissioner
Richards, however, is moving with no
haste in recommending new reserves,
and the forestry bureaus recommended
ions must pass through MS ndnQS pc
fore final action is taken. Because
of the vast area involved, it is expect
ed Commissioner Richards will DELHI
crate some time before passing the pa
pers up to Secretary Hitchcock. When
the reserves are actually created, the
surplus lands now Withdrawn, which
are not to be reserved, will be restored
to entry. No estimate has been made
of the amount of land to be restored.
