telephone and finally sold the whole
section to H. c. Bryson at the ap-
praised price.
The land lies in township 8, range 32

In the event that the railroad Off
cials meet the cut, Mr.. Smith does not
say just how low the tariff of his
line will be placed, further than that
it will be below that of the opposition.
The difference in the rates as they
now stand will be the means of ef-
fecting to the farmers a saving of six
cents a bushel on all shipments they
make by the water route to Portland.
That will be sufficient to pay the
transportation charges of the cereal to
Europe. figuring on the present cost
of tonnage.
1t will also mean, according to those
in a position to know, that the great
hulk of the crop grown in territory
tributary to the upper Columbia will
be brought to Portland for exporta-
ton instead of being sent to Puget
Sound.
For the past few years every bushel
of wheat raised in the vicinity of Ken
