CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-Eforts to set
tie amicably the differences between
the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific
railroads over the transcontinenta
mail contracts have been abandoned
and a speed war is imminent.
The Santa Fe has refused to change
its fast schedule and the Union Pacific,
In conection with the Burlington and
the new San Pedro route, has been
compelled to take steps to meet the
time of the Santa Fe. To prevent the
Santa Fe from securing permanently
the mails which the government has
already turned over to the new route,
the Union Pacific in connection with
the Burlington will have to cut down
the time between Chicago and Los
Angeles from twelve to fourteen hours.

PRACTICE SHOOT TOMORROW
Rod and Gun Club Boasts of a Mem
bership Of Nearly 100.

With nearly one hundred members
already, the Walla Walla Rod and Gun
Club will soon be one of the strongest
organizations of the kind in the state
of Washington. The question of pass
ing better fish and game laws for the
protection of fish and game birds in
Walla Walla county is already being
agitated and at the next session of the
legislature a new game law will be in
troduced and every effort made to Sc
cure it's passage. A prominent MEM
Der of the club today said that the
new law should prohibit the catching
of more than IS trout by any person
in any one day and also prohibit the
taking of trout less than inches in
length. The present law in vague
way takes up the screening of irrigat-
ing bitches but as the law is hardly
ever observed this matter will be en-
bodied in the new fish and game law.
The club will hold it's second shoot
of the season at the fair grounds to-
morrow morning commencing at 10
O'Clock. Shooting for place on the
team that will be sent to the Portland
tournament next month will probably
commence next week.
