Eastern Roads Admit They Have an
Agreement as to Rates.
Philadelphia, April 1S.-That rates
are fixed by the Traffic association COM
posed OF various coal carrying roads was
the admission drawn from railroad Off
cials at the final hearing of the Inter
state Commerce commission investiga-
ton into the affairs and abuses of the
coal trade. Through Joseph g. Searles,
coal traffic manager OF the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad company, who lie also
chsirman OF the All-Rail Traffic asso-
citation, it was learned that this organi-
cation not only fixes the percentage OF
tonnage allotted to each read, but also
establishes the rates.
Counsel for the commission produced
the minutes OF the meeting OF the Tide
water Bituminus Steam Coal Traffic as
sociation, held on September 10, 1900.
The records showed that resolution
Offered by the Norfolk & Western COM
pany permitting that company and the
Chesapeake & Ohio RAILROAD to carry
tidewater coal at the rate OF 81 .25 ton
was voted down and that the rvate was
fixed at 81 40 ton. Mr.. Searles ad-
mitted that there had been an agree
ment as to the tonnage to be allowed
each road, and that, II one road ship
ped more and another less, fettlement
was made. He adds that there had
been no settlement since 1898. Mr.,
searles denied that there was an under.
standing to maintain rates between al
rail and all water associations for the
purpose of preventing competition.

$50, 900 acres subscribed to the associa-
tion, the assessment per acre will only
be about 9 cents. There are about 20,

RsALLor wENAAA RESERVE,
Sheepmsn Jubllant Over Confirmation
of Reconsideration,

Pendleton - There is Joy among
sheepmen of Umatilla county over the
news that the wenaha reserve will be
redivided, for 1t Is understood that the
allotment is to be made again. Sew
erel days ago ]. +. Smith received a
letter from Ranger ]. NJ, Smitz, inyit.
ing the Oregon men to meet at Walla
walla April % to consult regarding the
division of the reserve, II was sup
posed that the meeting would be mere
ly to hear complaints, and that little
or no good would result to the Oregon
sheepmen. However, Dan P. Smythe,
secretary of the Umatilla county asso-
citation, has been informed that the
reserve was to be redivided.
When the wenaha reserve was first
allotted among stockmen several
months ago Oregon men complained
bitterly because in making the divis-
ion the Oregon part Of the reserve had
been practically given over to Washing
ton growers, thus cutting OIL many
Umatilla county men from their sum-
mer ranges.
There is q general belief that a more
equitable division will be made this
time, as the Umatilla county men will
be on hand to assert their rights.
Perry Gould, president of the Una
tilla county association, has called a
meeting of that body April 26, at which
time line of action will be agreed
upon.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
NOT so BAD AS PAINTED,
Most Crops In Pendleton Section Are
Turning Out Well.

-
Pendleton-Iuvestigation OF the con-
dition Of growing wheat in various
parts of Umatilla county shows the
damage sustained in the March cold
spell was slight. Instead Of many
thousand acres to reseed, as at first re-
ported, not more than 1000 acres in
the entire county have been reseeded.
Many farmers secured seed wheat and
vitrol, in many instances paying fancy
prices for bluestem, which was scarce,
only to find that their grain was not in
jured or only slightly, The only sec
tion where there was any loss was the
northwestern part, where the soil ia
light and there was comparatively no
snowfall. The scare was due to the
fact that the tops of the grain in some
places was frozen, but this is consider
ed benefit instead OF an injury by
many, as they say that it has caused
the grain to stool out more than other
wise.
The fruit is also coming out nicely
aud the damage will not be nearly 80
great ss was feared. The peaches suf-
fered most, but there will be partial
crop and unless a later frost occurs
there will be full crop of all other va
rieties of fruit.
