1t is questionable if a meeting will be
held tuntil Governor Chamberlain re-
turns ON the east, which will not be
until the 23d of this month. The O. r..
& N. Company's tariff rate now in effect
between Lewiston and Portland is l9L
cents per 100 pounds, practically 81 per
ton. 1t has been figured that. if the
portage road should establish a rate cf
SO per ton upon freight between these
two points there would be consider
able amount OF profit in it and would
still be a much more reasonable rate for
the farmers and shippers of grain. On
tn other hand there is likelihood of
the o. R. & N. Company readjusting it's
present schedule to compete with the
portage road and further cut by the
latter, it is thought, might operate to
precipitate q rate war between the COM
peting lines tor the business. The two
members of the board: here, Secretary
of State Dunbar and State Treasurer
Moore, are undecided as to when the
rate schedule meeting will be held, but
quite probably the latter part of this
month. If the So per ton rate is estab-
lished, proportionate rate will be ar
ranged for the other stations along the
route.

Elthu Roofs Earnings at the bar.

When Nr Root left the office of Sc. :
retary Of War he left it with the reputf .
ton Of having been one of the greatest
cahinet Officers of decade. His re-
tirement was due 70 the necessity which
he felt Of repairing his finances.
The success with which he has met in
the practice OF his profession since his
retirement from official life is said to
have exceeded even his moet eanguine
expectations. In less than year and a
half he is generally cred ted among the
members of his profession with having
made several hundred thousand dollars.
He had retainers for the next FIVE years
probably in excess of those which have
ever heretofore been paid to any lawyer
IN New York city, Since the death of
James G. Carter, Mr.. Root has been
recognized by the members of his pro.
feasion as the leader of the American
bar.

Must Meet soon.

Since the harvest of the fall grain is
on In eastern Oregon and Idaho it will
soon behoove the state portage board to
hold meeting and decide upon sche-
dule OF freight rates to be in effect upon
the road effecting the various points
along the line from Lewiston, Idaho, to
Portland. Hitherto it has been unnec.
essary to establish a schedule, because
no freight was moving or likely to move
for several weeks, but now the time is
approaching when the grain will begin
to move an d the board will find it en-

Irrigation from Ice

In Montana the experiment. of freezing water for irrigation has been tried. As soon as the wealth CT becomes such as to melt the ice it is fit for the operations re- quiring the water.
 The plan which so far is in the nature of an experiment, consists in making a series of shallow ba- sins on the slope of a hill in such locations that when water is plentiful, they may be filled, each of those below the highest re- criving successively the overflow from the one above it.
 Once frozen, the ice in these shallow reservoirs is there until the thaw sets iii, when 1t melts so slowly as to keep up supply of moisture sufficient for the ger imitation and growth of the ear ly crops. This unique method

Texas is neck and neck with Illinois in the race for the largest railroad mileage. Illinois has been in the lead for some time, but it looks as if she would not long hold the supremacy. In the last authentic report Illinois is credited with II ,503, Texas H. 4S9, Pennsylvania 10,S2O, Iowa 9,SO6 and New York 8, 1S2 miles. By the rate of increase Texas, which has only fourteen miles less than Illinois will go to the head of the list. As indicating her possibilities for future devel- opment 1t may be noted that if she had as many miles of road as Illinois in the ratio of area she would have a mileage of 45, 1928, but if no more in proportion to population the number would be 4,21O miles less.-Louisville Courier Journal.

 The east bound passenger train No. ? of Wednesday was about twenty hours late, the delay was caused by No. ' going in the ditch near Maine, small station between Flagstaff and Williams. The wreck was caused by a brok- en rail, although the cars were badly smashed up no one was killed and very few were injured.
 Charles Bliss, a Denver & Rio Grande engineer, arrived the other evening with a party of twelve men. The outfit left the next morning for Pennington. We understand its object is to run a line from Pennington to Durango via La Plata. This is the third Denver & Rio Grande party, the others being under Engineers Dean and Thurman Mir. Bliss has been working for the past six months near walsel,- burg and received hurry orders to get to Durango. He is of the opinion that dirt will be turned in thirty days.--Durango Tele- graph,
