New Traffic Arrangement VIM Allow
Wider Scope for the Oregon Road.

A dispatch from Spokane says in
regard TO new traffic arrangement by
which tho o. II. d N. will be able to
reach into Canadian territory over
the lines OF the Canadian Pacific:
What Is interpreted by railroad men
as an official confirmation of the
story that the Canadian Pacific has
been accorded traffic privileges with
the O. r. & N. into Portland is the
announcement OF an Ottawa railroad
journal that this deal has been con-
summated. This journal stands close
to Canadian Pacific authorities and
its announcement is that the Canadian
Pacific will shars in the Columbia
river basin traffic.
Az local Canadian Pacific officials
understa the deal the Canadian has
an agreement with the o. r. & n. for
the transfer of traffic at Spokane.
This would give the Canadian the haul
on business originating in the middle
west. In territory now served almo,t
exclusively by the Hill lines, to the
transfer point at Spokane and would
contribute to the o. r. & N. share
in the business it has never had.
The Canadian Pacitic's Spokane &
International will be opened June is.
The line from Spokane to ST. Paul is
% miles shorter than the Hill lines
and the highest point reached by the
Canadian Pacific in crossing the
Rockies is 40O feet below Hilrs roads.

That tho Fast Umatilla irrigation
project will be the scene Of a 4O-acre
government experiment farm, Is very
probable
While promoting irrigation in a
general way Il is the desire OF the
government to directly assist every
farmer who takes up land. In reaping
the fullest and most complete reward
from his labor and with this end in
view the department OF agriculture
has joined with the reclamation serv-
ice.
Western men in congress intend to
take up the recommendation Of the
secretary Of agriculture. requiring
that one farm unit in every govern
ment irrigation project shalt be re-
served for use as a national demon
stration farm. for the benefit and in
struction Of settlers on the respective
projects.
The idea is a good one. and meets
with the hearty approval Of the re-
clamation service particularly as II
has worked great benefit to far
mers on large projects which have
been built by private enterprise under
the Carey act.
The idea OF the secretary is to
maintain an experimental farm on
each project, where farm and irriga-
ton experts OF his department can ir-
rigate lands, plant crops, and deter
mine what crops are best suited to the
peculiar soil and climate of each and
every project. Furthermore. these
farms viii be beneficial in determining
the amount OF water required for
various crops. and will serve to dem
onstrate to the inexperienced farmers
how the water should be applied to
the and.
On the Twin Falls tract in southern
IdahJ. an experimental or demonstra-
ton farm was established last spring,
and Il not only served TO aid the
farmers on other lands Of that pro-
ject but il proved to be the very best
advertisement OF the Twin Falls land.
1t was 4 working example of what
those lands would produce under
proper cultivation; it was an object
lesson for every visitor to Twin Falls
and the experiments conducted on
that farm served not only as a guide
but as an announcement to every far
mer in that vicinity.
The government has been quick TO
appreciate the benefits Of such farms
and there is every reason to believe
the secretary's recommendation viii
be carried out this session.
