covered by our measure but in
order that there may be no question
about them they will be included
in the bill in a definite way. One
thing is quite ceftain There will
be 10 narrowing of the scope of
the bill-no modification Of the
principles involved.
Mr. Townsend said it was
expected that the senate committee
on interstate commerce would
prepare and report measure to
regulate railroad freight rates.
While he did not have a definite
idea as to the scope Of the sen te
measure, he regarded it as very
doubtful whether the members of
the senate committee would agree
that the question involved only
a question Of methods.

elm Oklahoma especially. farmers
have suffered great loss from inun-
dation in the spring and summer
months. 1t is generally conceded
that if the channels OF these atreams
were made straight this difficulty
would to a large degree be obviated
Many of the streams in Oklahoma
have low banks which are easily
overhowed, whereas the proposed
enterprise for making their courses
straight would cause the rainfall
to be carried off rapidly and thus
in great degree prevent that
trouble

ROAD RATES
4 BILL TO Be PREPARED
BY the Senate Committee. Changes il
the Measure

Washington, Oct. 5.-President
Roosevelt is dead in earnest Oh the
question Of railroad rate legislation
and is just determined as ever that
railroad regulations shall be enacted
looking to federal supervisions Of
the railroad rates"
This statement was made today
by Representative Townsend Of
Michigan on the features Of
the so-ca.led Es,h-- Townsend
bill.
Representative Townsend called
today to talk over the general
subject with the president. Mr..
Townsend did not have the oppor.
tunity to 90 fully into the subject
with the president today, but the
president requested him to call
again tomorrow.
II have no authority represent
the president 5 views as to railroad
rates, said Mr.. Townsend, 'but
can say he entertains now the same
views in principle as he expressed
in his message last December. The
crux of the whole matter is moi
that the commission should fix
rates, but il should have the power
to substitute a reasonable rate for
one found OH investigation to be
unjust. Without such authority
the evils complained of could moi
be reached
Have any suggestions been made
Of changes in the Esch- Townsend
measure'"
some changes will be made,
replied Mr.. Townsend, but they
will be for the purpose Of making
the bill clearer on certain points.
It is intended, Of course, to include
in the regulations private cars,

The Denison parties who visited

made the purchase of large six sec

is "a fine one and was purchased by a

experiment was not success and the
ranch was offered at the low price of
$500 per acre, providing the entire six
sections were taken. Denison people
were interested and as result they
dubbed together and bought the en-
tire tract. The purchasers of one sec
ton each were, c. Gronau, B. F..
