ator Hemenway called on the President yes

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March 16-Pres-
ident Mellen Of the New Haven road was in
communication today with President Roose-
welt and other railroad presidents relative
to the proposed conference at the White
House. President Mellen said that there
was nothing definitely decided yet about the
conference.
I'VE are trying to arrange It, he said.
He stated that nothing specific from Mr.
Roosevelt had been received. The other
three railroad presidents have gone to their
homes, leaving President Melen as Spikes
man. If a conference is arranged Pres
ident Mellen will notify the other presidents.
1t is thought here that definite communi-
cation will be today received from Pres
ident Roosevelt.
President Mellen sent the President long
communication late yesterday afternoon
from New York. presenting the situation as
regards conference from the standpoint of
the four railroad presidents. President
Roosevelt and President Mellen have been
close friends for years, and when President
Roosevelt was framing the rate bill he sent
for President Melen to come to Washington
and advise him. President Mellen has,
however. made no secret of the fact that as
finally framed and passed the rate bill did
not meet with his approval.

Fur Coated Fish.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Indians fishing at Moosehide about Christ
mas time were meeting with satisfactory
success when suddenly one of them hooked
grayling, which had on a fur overcoat.
This statement. though it may not appear so
at first. is literally true The fish had all
over its body a soft, dark, brown fur and
the Indians, fearing that this portended
some great and sudden disaster. quit fishing
and went to praying.
It may be that In all the experience Of the
aborigtnes they had never seen or heard of
anything like this before. but 1t does not
follow that because an experience with fish
is new 1t is~therefOre incredible. Now.
things are happening In the fish world all
the time. Is it not fact that nearly every
season some hitherto unrelated fish stories
are brought to our attention and added to
our cherished collections?
This fur overcoat story is really no more
surprising than the news that Missouri river
fish at certain seasons of the year wear
overalls to keep out the dust Different
conditions bring about different habits in
the fish family.

LARGE AMOUNT OF GRAIN
ALREADY AT SOUND PORTS

TACOMA, Nov. 21-Between 10000
and $4,000 tons OF wheat are now
piled in the wheat warehouses along
the Tacoma water front, and from
$1,000 to $4,000 tons are awaiting ev-
port in Seattle warehouses. Additional
wheat is rolling across the Cascade
mountains to tide water at the rate OF
about 120 to 100 cars a day.
To carry away the wheat already in
Tacoma warehouses, there are now an
chored in the harbor two steamships
and three sailing vessels, which Will
alike about 10000 tons. This 10000
tons of wheat which will shortly be
on it's way over the high seas to Eu-
rope, will net to the state between
$500, 900 and $500 900 in gold. Many
other vessels exactly now many arc
not known. are now on their way to the
Sound region and the Colump,a river,
to carry to Europe. the Orient and
Africa the wheat product of the Inland
Empire. A Kosmos liner is due tomor-
row in Seattle, which will take away
LOO tons of wheat. The last of this
week the steamer Aparina will come
over to Tacoma from British Columbia
cities, where she is now, for cargo
of wheat for Europe. This is mon
ster vessel, which will alone carry
5000 tons of Washington grain.
Wheat exporters here are very much
pleased with the heavy movement OF
grain from the farming districts to tide
water, the railroads evidently making
an issue of getting all the grain posi-
bile to seaports before the heavy wealth
