the demands Of trade. the carriers have
represented, make It necessary that they

business without q moments delay. They
have frequently declared that the commits
sion's rule would put them out OF the ex-
port trade. with the result Of causing an
immense loss to the foreign trade OF the
nation.
Subject Discussed.
This subject was discussed when the
case OF the Cosmopolitan Shipping Com
pany VS.. the Hamburg-American Packet
Company was before the commission LOT
q hearing. 1t was the consideration OF
this case that gave rise to the rule which
the transcontinental roads now declare ID
making 1t impossible for them to continue ,
in the export trade. IN this case COM
plant was made against the operations OF
what was termed the Baltic pool.
which. 1t was alleged, controlled land. and
and water rates from inland points In the
United States to the destination OF snip
ments The commission asserted inaoll-
ity to control water rates. but insisted on
separation of the inland rate to the
place Of export from the through rate and
applied to that portion Of the rate the pro-
visions OF the law making mandatory the
publication and notice Of changes of the
rate.
As the question was passed upon after
the most complete hearing and as pre-
dictions were then made that 1t would put
the railroads out Of the export trade, 1t Is
not considered likely that the commits
sion will reverse its ruling.

James J. Hills Opinion.

The railroads have claimed ever since

petition With Other Coun-
tries Impossible.
The message follows:

The report that the transcontinental
railroads controlled by James J. Hill,
Edward H. Hartman, the Berwynd syndi-
cate and the Canadian government have
determined to surrender their export trade
to China, Japan, New Zealand and Aus
tralia November has created q great
deal Of interest at the ofiices Of the inter-
state commerce commission in this city.
II. this action is taken it will merely
fulfill the prediction that has been made
by railroad officials who have resisted
the enforcement of the rule of the COM
mission by which they are obliged to
publish the portion of their export rate
which goes to the railroads for hauling
shipments to seaports and to give notice
of any increase or decrease in these rates.
The purpose Of; the transcontinentaI
roads to take this action has not been
brought to the attention OF the commits
sion which has full power to modify its
rulings in order to meet the objections
OF the carriers should they care to do 80.
But as this matter has been, very fully
considered by the commission, 1t is not
regarded as likely that their rulings in
/ this respect will be changed.

Many families In the low portions OF

The excessive rains have become q

throughout the state. Corn planting
was well under way, but the rains
have made field work impossible, and
the planting has stopped. In many
parts OF the state the land is already
soaked and too wet for cultivation Of
