The Posgoffice Department is going to
seek the aid of Congress to prevent the
railroads from putting into service
-"bluff'' trains with view to capturing
mail tonnage and later abandoning
them. This fact is disclosed in the re-
port of the department regarding the
transportation of the mails for the cur
rent year. 1t is alleged that prior to
the reweighing periods, which deter
mine the routes and compensation ev-
cry four years, it has been the custom
of some railroads to put on new fast
trains with view to capturing the
mails. Having been successful, such a
road under the present law, must re-
ceiye pay for that mail during the sue
ceeding four years wehther it contin-
ues to carry it or not. Accordingly
some of the railroads have been accus-
toned TO take off their bluff trains
soon after the reweighing, allowing the
mails TO be diverted to another road,
but continuing to receive pay for trans
porting them until the next reweighing
period, when the trick is repeated

The roller skaters Of Washington ars
an interesting sight There are 10000
children Of skating age in Washington
and 10000 are whizzing around the
streets mounted upon two skates, while
the balance of them, more or less con-
tent with an equipment of one skate
child, are doing complicated hop
whizz, undismayed by the frequent
complications which ensue. The asphalt
streets are really temptation not
easily resisted, and after dark the roll
er skaters seem to have grown sudden,

CROW WEEDS TO
VI PREVENT DUST
o. II. q N. EXPECTS TO SAVE
MONEY AND COMFORT


waiia waiia, Wash, May Ito
save $40, 900 in wages and at the same
time control TO some extent the dust
which troubles travellers. Is the plan
OF General superintendent Buckley OF
the o. II. q N. who this year proposes
TO allow weeds 20 grow along the
tracks wherever II IN possible. Instead
OF keeping the track clear Of weeds
by cutting them with shovels. the Sec
tion men are instructed 70 allow them
70 grow. keeping them trimmed close
70 the rails that they may not come In
contact with the wheels OF cars and
cause trouble.
II In estimated that the company
spends $4,000 each year In cutting
weeds. and. incidentally, keeping the
aoil worked so that winds catch tho
dust. and during hot weather enough
OF II IL carried along the rapidly-mov-
| ing trains to almost Btrangle the pas
sengerH. Wherever weeds have been
allowed 10 grow dust has never troubl-
cd. and this fact has caused Mr.. Buck
ley 10 try the experiment OF allowing
weeds and grass to cover the ties
especially the soil at the ends Of the
ties outside the rails.
The company IL now figuring on
sowing a short. thick grass on the line
to form mass OF roots TO prevent the
dust from raising. II Is said thai
some heavy, short grass can be grown
for this purpose with splendid results
and even where the track has to bs
worked great deal the grass vii soor
take root again and cover the surface
so that dust will not raise by the sue
tlon OF passing trains.
Roadbed treatment with oil gives
splendid satisfaction after the oil set
ties, but the dust picked up by trains
before the oil disappears in the sol
has tendency TO stain clothing as y
touched with fresh grease ana con
siderable complaint always follows TN

Uma.illa Supplies Seattle.

Two or three facts which came to
the attention OF the market reporter
of the Republic today win essentially
interest the farmers OF this valley.
says the Yakima Republic. A letter
received from Seattle, from a mer-
chant there, said that at the time of
writing. Monday, there were on wheels
in the railroad yards at Seattle. 40
cars OF Idaho potatoes and they were
pretty fair stock at that.
About the same time an issue OF
the Pendleton oregonian declared
that shipments OF potatoes are being
made fHom the Athena and Echo Sec
tions of the Umatilla portion OF Ore
gon. the total purchase there being
something like S6 cars.
The potato market, therefore, is not
as safe as 1t seemed week ago. ].
NJ. Perry OF North Yakima, who was
in Seattle last week. said he found a
very small proportion OF Yakima po-
tatoes there but that the sound mar
kets were well supplied with Idaho,
Oregon and western Washington
spuds.
There are numerous indications OF
a considerable consumption there but
sufficiency offering at this time ia
leave no doubt of the ability OF the
supply to see the demand through un-
til the new potatoes put in an appear
ance.

Famous Property OF sunpter District
May De Rejuvenated.

1t Is rumored in Sumpter today that
the Columbia mine, one Of the old
standby producers of the sumpter
district. is 70 have new ownership,
says the Baker City Herald.
While there is nothing definite CIV
en- out II is understood that New York
parties have had mining engineers and
experts on the property at different
times within the past few months
making reports on conditions Of the
mine. grade OF the ores, and possible
improvements.
Charles Leibenstein, according to
the rumor, is the man who is making
the deal and II this be true there Ia
some reason to believe that there may
be foundation for the rumor, as Mr..
Leibenstein has in the past some very
handsome transactions in Idaho min
ing country.
Should the Columbia change hands
It will probably add a new impetus tc
mining in eastern Oregon. Not thai
the great mine has not been wonder
ful payer In the past, for It has, but
a deal on large property always ex'
cites more or less interest from min.
ing people and causes investigation in.
to surrounding mines and country that
probably otherwise would not be
made.

Certificates Being Used TO Pay Bills
on Idaho Reclamation Project.
Like other reclamation projects at
the present time, the Minidoka pro-
ject Is suffering from q shortage OF
funds and Project Engineer Camp Is
driven to his wits end to devise ways
and means for carrying on the neces-
sary work with the limited amout Of
cash at his disposal. says Rupert.
Idaho, paper. South side certificates
are used to meet every item Of ex-
penditure that can be paid in that
way, even lumber being purchased
with this scrip. Beginning with the
10th of this month, all men on the
survey crews on the south side will
be paid in certificates and their SAL
aries are raised 10 per cent to cover
any loss on the scrip.
This scrip Is still marketable at
close to par, none of 1t having gone
lower than 80 cents. If the general
land office ever finds out that It is
required to take the scrip for all pay
ments due the government II viii
command a better figure. M
Many bids have been received for
the grading on the third lift on the
south side and the contracts will be
awarded today.
