RAILROADS BOSS HEARING.
Committee Pro Railroad and Shippers
Scared Into Aiding.

WASHINGTON, May lit is an
nounced informally that the senate
committee on interstate commerce
will probably end it's hearing on the
railroad rate question about May %,
this being the longest time it can hold
its members together, owing to pre-
viously made summer plans.
In a few days the committee will
announce an executive session at
which it will consider the testimony as
a whole and try to see how the mem
bers stand on the general question,
but nothing, it is said will be done
looking toward formulating a report
until two weeks before congress meets
in extra session.
That the committee will recommend
certain changes in the interstate COM
merce law in addition to the changes
suggested by regulation of private car
lines and terminal railways, was lndi-
Gated in what Senator Elkins said to
Governor Cummins. Just what these
recommendations will be cannot now
be ascertained with any certainty. II
is conceded, however, that they will
fall short of meeting the ideas of Pres
ident Roosevelt and the shippers rep
resented by E. P. Bacon of Mailwau-

HE HAD NO CARE.

In an old corner Of Boston where
many races mingle a polite little jap
anese artist has his studio, and paints
lamp shades and screens for his mer-
chant fellow countrymen. On the
Monday of Admiral Togo's victory he
was excitedly discussing the event
with an American customer when the
door opened and a red-bearded Rus
sian peddler entered with a bullying
satchel.
"Haw exclaimed the intruder, In a

the Jap; but before he could do so the
Russian had already burst into a gen

sound. "Russia What care 1? Rus

Now you make trade with me? Yes?'
The Jap glared at him scornfully
then turned to the American with {
deprecatory gesture.

Boise-In a case from Kootenai coun-
ty the Supreme court has decided that
when an owner returns property to the
assessor as assessable, he is estopped
from contesting the assessment unless
for fraud or mistake. The case was
one in which the Inland Lumber &
Timber company sued to have the
assessment of certain lands for 1908 set
aside. 1t set up that at the time of the
assessment its scrip filings on the land
had not been accepted by the general
land office, that title remained in the
government, and that the land was
therefore worcestershire. The lands
had been listed by the company's agent
for assessment. The Supreme court
affirms the judgment of the District
court against the company, holding
the company is estopped by reason Of
its having furnished the assessor with

employ of the Hill people, will leave
soon FROM Kooskia, on the Clearwater
river, for the Bitter Root range, to Sc

mountains through the Locksaw branch
of the Clearwater. 1t is believed that
this move is for the purpose of heading

the same route.
1t is reported here that party Of

they are in the vicinity of Lolo pass OF

will be received from that section thii
