New York.-All people out of doors
at Amagansett, Long Island, were
startled the other evening when they
heard terrific roar and at the same
time saw blazing mass shooting
through the hea5ens over the ocean
apparently only a little way out from
shore. The blazing object appeared
to many to be about 20 feet in diam
eter.
Those who witnessed the flight say
the meteor must have weighed several
tons. When it struck the ocean huge
breakers came tumbling shoreward
Several bathing pavilions were washed

siderable damage was caused to prop,

TO RAISE
THE RATE
RAILWAYS WANT MORE
FOR FREIGHT HAUL.
PLAN TO BE PRESENTED TO IN
TERsTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION.

The transcontinental railroads, the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern
and the Hartman system, covering
the Pacific northwest, with its con
nections. the Oregon Short Line and
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, are preparing, so it is de.
clarad to propose to the interstate
commerce commission a general in.
crease ranging from 215 to 20 cents
per hundJedwcight in all freight tar
IFS from Chicago to the Coast and
from Puget sound to San Francisco.
This increase is to be effective Jan
uary ], 1908, if approved by the com
mission.
The recent trip of H. NJ. Adams, a
general agent of the Great Northern,
and r. B. Miller, general freight agent
of the o. r. & NJ to Spokane, Taco
ma and other common points on the
systems was made, it is declared, for
the purpose Of checking present rates,
with view to proposing the advance
One of the most important confer
ences was that in the offices of Gen
eral Freight Agent Henry Blakley of
the Northern Pacific.
At that meeting the question of the
increase was thoroughly discussed
and the general freight tariffs carried
in Mr.. Blakeley's Office carefully
checked. Officials of the Northern Pa
Cific do not care to discuss the report
ed increase at this time. In some
quarters the report is questioned The
general impression among railroad
men seems to be, however, that the adj
vance is not improbable, and that, If
proposed, it is justified by conditions
They add that publication is prema-
ture, as the plans are not fully worked
out
This proposition will be submitted
10 the interstate commerce commits
sion by the railroads, which will CON
tend that the increase is justifable
by reason of the advanced price of
coal. labor and material, lower pas
senger rates and the expense which
the roads are put to in defending
themselves from persecution.
Henry Blakely, general western
freight agent of the Northern Pacific
at Tacoma says there is not bit of
truth in the above report. Hecharact-
erized the story as pipe dream and
denied it unqualifiedly. Furthermore,
the railroads are not contemplating an
advance in transcontinental freight
rates.
