This pIan will doubtless develop
some of the finest examples OF pros,

ness. the isolation and the many I'M
attractive features Of the big farm dis
appear while yet the joys and the

states that since the passage OF the
irrigation act. 1t has developed that

wise to reduce to 10 acres the mini

WASHINGTON, Aug, 1.-Au import
ant formal conference between the In
terstate Commerce commission and rep
resentatives of the Western trunk lines
and traffic officials Of various Southern
and Southwestern railroads took place
yesterday in the hearing room Of the
commission. 1t related to the c0nstruc-
ton TO be placed by the commission on
the recently enacted rate law, Extend

mission by several of the railroad of

railway and Darious Miller of the Chi
cago. Burlington Quincy.
Time TO File New Tariff.
In brief, the railroad officials made
three general requests of the commis-
sion;
First, that a reasonable extension Of
the time be given to prepare and pub
lish and file with the commission their
new tariff schedules under the law, and
also that the book containing the rates
might be left with each station agent,
instead of being posted at the station.
No Thirty Days Notice.
Second, that the requirement Of no
tice of thirty days in a change of
rates be eliminated. particularly as to
import and export traffic. 1t was point"
ed out that often these rates had TO be
changed within n few hours to meet
local conditions and that it would be
practically impossible TO anticipate
these changes by even one day, not to
mention thirty days.
Question of Terminal Rates.
Third that tho railroads be relieved
from the publication of terminal rates

publish them only at the point where
