GARFIELD ADMIRES THE WEST
Secretary of Interior Greatly I'm
pressed with Work of Reclaim-
ing Semi-Arld Land.

Secretary Garfield was wonderfully inn
pressed with the progress the west has
been making in retaining the semi-arid
land" said s. F. Miller. general freight
and passenger agent OF the Northwestern,
who has just returned from a trip with the
secretary through the irrigated sections
tributary to the Northwestern road.
The secretary drove over the irrigated
section of the Big Horn Basin with P. s..
Eustis, passenger traffic manage Of the
Burlington, then went to the Black Hills
and Belle Fourche projects. He then in
spected the new North Platte irrigation
schemes and Sunday was at Casper. wyo.
From Casper the party started for the
Pathfinder dam, which Is to furnish the
storage for the North Platte scheme and
from the Pathfinder dam It is the inten-
ton to drive across Wyoming to the Union
Pacific road.
T trip over the Belle Fourche coun-
try was made in carriages. with Senator
Gamble of South Dakota and Seth Bullock
pointing out the places of interest,"" said
Mr.. Miller. I'VE made a tour of the
reclamation work. visited the big dlvertlng
dam, followed the canal to the storage
dam and down the valley to be irrigated.
They have a 1,30-foot tunnel through
which one wing of the ditch Is to run.
We also visited the site where they are
going to syphon the water across the river.
The water will be carried through a five
foot solid concrete tube. The forty-five-
mile drive seemed to impress the secretary
very much. One of the government ex-
perts, Mr.. Savage, who has charge of
Wyoming irrigation work. said that the
soil was good and the project ideal.
''They already have 10000 acres under
the old Red Willow ditch and some under
the new government bitches showing Won
derful results. That country will be a
completed."

U. P. WILL RESIST RULING
Railroad Will Fight to Last Court De-
cision on Elevation.
ISSUE BROAD IN APPLICATION
Not Only IRvoIves Right 60 Pay Al
IOuRnce to Elevators, hut Az
fects Relation Between Rail-
ways and Grain Centers.

The Union Pacific Will contest the recent
decision in the grain elevator case in which
the right to pay elevation charges was de-
MED. The decision involved the right Of the
Union Pacific to pay the Peavy Elevator
company q Of l cent for each 100
pounds of grain delivered by the Union
Pacific at the Missouri river. While the
legal department Of the Union Pacific has
not fully decided on the detr lis, it is given
out as quite certain that the case will be
carried to the highest courts.
The case in question has a broader sig
nificance than the mere question of the
right to pay an elevation allowance. 1t
also affects the relations between the rail-
roads and the grain c~enters. as well as the
rate making power of the Interstate Com
merce commission.
When the courts first said the Union
Pacific had 4 right to pay an elevation al
lowance at the Missouri liver, the right
being based on the special benefit to the
road in getting a speedy return of its
Empty cars, the grain men Of Chicago and
st. Louis at once set about to get a similar
concession. st. Louis demanded a reduc-
ton in the through rates from the Missouri
river and points west thereof on grain to
st. Louis and points further east.
Already Gave an Allowance.
The railroads haG already given an al
lowance Of q of 1 cent at st. Louis
on grain to points south of the Ohio river.
To this the Chicago dealers also objected.
The question r~evolves around the point as
to whether a railroad company might ele-
vate grain through its own elevators free
of charge. If it has that right, It could also
hire that service done and pay for 1t. The
Interstate Commerce commission has ruled
that a railroad company might not pay an
elevation allowance on grain passing
through an elevator owned and controlled
by the owner of the grain, when such grain
is held more than ten days, and that a
railroad ompany shall not pay the owner
of grain an allowance on grain passing
through an elevator when such grain is
barred by the provision of the first ruling.
