TRAINMEN SIGN AGREEMENT.
Controversy Between Western Road,
and Employees Settled.

Chicago-The general agreement
which was reached between western
railroads and their employees in the
train service, through the mediation
of Commissioners Knapp and Neill,
has been signed, and the committee
members, who have been in almost
continuous session here for three
months, left for their homes. The
Brotherhood of Firemen, which has
been negotiating for practically the
same demands as the trainmen and
conductors, have about reached an
agreement with the roads. 1t is the
general belief that the fremen will be
granted the same concessions as the
conductors and trainmen.
Terms of the Agreement.
The agreement which goes into eff
feet dating from April 1 follows:
The pay of conductors in the pas
senger service to be increased $10
per month; that of baggagemen $3.50
and that of fagmen and brakemen
$3.50 per month, as applied to the
schedules in effect November /, 1906
The railroads are not to make any
reductions in crews or increase in
mileage for the purpose of offsetting
the increased wages given the passen
ger trainmen.
Overtime in the passenger service is
to be allowed on the basis of 10 miles
per hour, to be computed for each par
Of the run separately. Time is to be
gin at the scheduled time of leaving.
Roads on a basis of more than II
hours per day for helper or con
struction train service are to make NJ
Increase in the rates paid for sucl
service.
The increases granted in the aggre
gate are to apply also to rates of spec
ial services specified in the individual
schedule.
Upon roads having a better bas.
for days work, or for payment O
on ertime or other allowances in a.
branches of train service, the acceI
lance of this agreement is not to &C
as a reduction.
The Brotherhood of Locomotiv
Firemen was also granted by the raj
roads an increase of 10 per cent.

THE coEUR D'ALENE LANDS.
Protracted Surveys and Engineering
Problems viii Delay Opening
Until Next Year.

Information that Is thought to be
reliable has been obtained at the in
terror department that the Occur
d'Alene Indian reservation would not
be opened this year. 1t was stated by
an official who has intimate knowledge
or the facts that it would be impossible
to complete the preliminary arrange
ments, owing to the large quantity Of
work yet to be done on the surveys
and other engineering phases, and that
the opening must perforce go over to
1908.
1t is understood that this is the gen.
eral belief among land office officials,
notwithstanding it has been stated all
along that the opening would be in a
short time.
1t is said people who await the open
ing with the expectation of getting
home locations in 1907 will be disap-
pointed.

turbine counteracts the ships tendency

but after the turbine was set in motion
she only rolled one degree. The result
was attained without any reduction o
