The Rocky Mountain Express.

AS a scenic production, the new
melodramatic play "The Rocky Noun
tain Express" is far ahead of any
thing yet attempted. The play opens
at Windy Gap Hotel. a characteristic
Western tavern, and the scenes from
there on are picturesque and exciting
in the extreme. Among the other
scenes presented is a pass in the
mountains, with deep gorges and ris-
ing plateaus; another is the avalanche
and snowslide. This is an immense
effect that caused great surprise and
wopder. Windy Gap Railroad Station
and the switch at Dead Mans Siding
are also maryels of the scenic artists
art. Possibly the crowning effect of
all is the fight of the Rocky Mountain
Express, which is so realistic that it
fairly brings the audience to its feet.
The story Of the play is both interest

Shippers and Traffic Managers Talk

Short speeches were made by P. W.
Cox, F. w. Walters, C. B. Kegley,
w. L. LaFollette and Henry Rock
All of the speakers devoted the major
portion of their remarks to the ques-
tion of the rate on fruit shipments,
and stated their reasons for opposing
the raising of these rates, which the
companies have already announced an
intention of doing.
P. W. Cox and Henry Rock stated
that the rate on fruit shipments from
the Palouse had been made absolutely
prohihitive during the last six years,
and in defense of their contention they
cited numerous instances of healthy
bearing orchards in Whitman county
having been grubbed up and the land
devoted to wheat raising, because the
owners claim that they could not make
any profit under existing conditions.
The matter of the charge of the in
itial icing of refrigerator cars having
been raised from S25 to $40 a car by
the o. R. & N. was taken up by Mr..
LaFollette. who stated that the North
ern Pacific was still charging but $25.
Mr.. McCorquodale expressed surprise
at this discrepancy in the rate between
the two lines, and promised to take it
up at once with his company.
AS the next meeting will take place
on the first day of the Whitman county
fair it is hoped that a larger attend
ance can be secured, and some action
taken leading to a settlement Of the
differences that now exist.

Wash, Sept. IA. is now composed of
five districts, the latest addition being
part of the Republic Mission district.
Rev. 0. w. Mintzer of Spokane, has

dred dollars was raised for the fund

and Frank r. Spaulding of Spokane,

benevolent offerings were 40 per cent
larger than in 1907, showing increases
in prosperity as we'll as population in
the conference. The next conference

time was the plan evolved for the es-
tabllshment and publication of a
weekly news and farm paper to be run
under and by authority of the union,
and stock to be subscribed by the un-
ion members. A committee for the
formulating of PLANS and for soliciting
stock in the company to be organized
was appointed, and is now actively at
work, and it is believed that the pro-
ject will be in working shape in
short time. With the great growth
of the union there will be large and
increasing field for subscriptions, and
as it is proposed to make the publica-
tion of general farm interest, it will
undoubtedly meet with immediate
favor. The details are not yet worked
out, but it is likely that Pullman will
be the publication point, the location
of the experiment station here. and the
great amount of material available at
the college for farm journal being
factors that favor this as the publish
ing center.

What promises to be the most i'm
portant and popular musical event
that has ever occurred in Pullman is
the concert which will occur at the
Pullman Auditorium on Friday, Oc-
tober 9th, under the auspices of the
State College of Washington. The
participants are all leading luminaries
OF the Metropolitan Opera Company,
OF New York City. Great singers like
madame Rappold. Madame Jacoby,
Hiccard Martin. and Giuseppe Cam
panari are not heard every day, even
IN the favored musical centers, and

prepared concert program is the oppor-
tunity of life time.

Only about fifty farmers and fruit
growers were present at the meeting
held at CoIfax last tuesday between
the producing shippers of the Palouse
country and traffic managers of the
various railroads, and the only traffic
managers in attendance were McCOr-
quodale of the .. R. & N. and Lath
rop of the Spokane & Inland. The
representatives of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern, while they
had accepted the invitation, were pre-
vented from attending and at the re-
quest of Messrs. McCorquodale and
Lathrop another meeting has been
called at ColfaX for September %, at
which time it is thought the repre-
sentatives who were not present can
arrange to be on hand.
On account of all the roads not be-
ing represented, there was no attempt
to formally present the peoples side
of the case and the meeting developed
into more of an informal discussion of
the points at issue between the shipp-
ers and the transportation companies
than to an endeavor to settle them in
any way.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Hinchilff. who, after briefly out
lining his plan and explaining what he
hoped would result from the meeting
introduced C. B. Kegley, master of
the state grange, who had been select
ed as chairman, with w. L. LaFollette
of Wawawai, one of the heaviest fruit
shippers in eastern Washington, as
secretary.

SPOKANE BUSINESS MEN
COME TO PULLMAN
Fifty-two Spokane Boosters Come to
the Artesian City on Special
Train.

Over half hundred of the leading
merchants, bankers and professional
men of Spokane were the guests of
Pullman for few hours today, and in
the short time they remained in the
artesian city they were kept busy
getting better acquainted with our
businessmen and visiting the college
on the hill.
The special train arrived in the city
at noon, coming from Lewiston where
it had remained over night. At Mos
COW 1t was met by delegation from
the Pullman Commercial club, who es-
corted the visitors to this city. On the
arrival of the train here the Pullman
band discoursed several selections at
the band stand on the corner of Main
and Alder streets, when Mayor Car
penter welcomed the Spokanites IN a
neat address of welcome, and after a
response by one of the visitors, all
were taken to the Palace hotel, where
lunch was served.
Following lunch, carriages called
at the hotel, and the guests of the city
were driven around the residence dis
trict and to the college grounds, where
they spent an hour getting acquainted
with the college for which they had
given such valient service on many oc-
casions, but which many of them had
never seen before. All expressed sur
prise and pleasure at the magnificent
institution that is educating thousands

Next Friday an excursion train
bearing a hundred members of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce will
make brief stop in Pullman, the
schedule providing for a stop of but
fifteen minutes, but our commercial
club is now trying to arrange for a
longer stop, when the delegation from
the sound can be given a taste of Pull
man hospitality. Last year the COM
ing of the Seattle people was unan-
nounced, the notice which had been
sent the mayor unfortunately miscarry-
ing, but this year Pullman will be
strictly "at home" to her distin-
guished visitors, and it is hoped they
can be prevailed upon to stay long
enough to visit the college grounds
The band will be there to meet them,
and as many citizens as possible are
requested to be on hand. Let Pullman
spirit greet Seattle spirit.

Imperial countys grand jury was in session two days, Monday and Tues day, this week, for the purpose of eX- amining the condition of the various county offices. This was the third ses- sion of the grand jury for the year, and it was expected that it's work would be closed this week and the jury would be discharged. However Judge Cole expressed the desire that they continue to serve until the close of the calendar year, and they will convene again late in the fall.
 The grand jury has brought in sev- en indictments during it's various ses- sions, and has investigated a large number of cases. It's nineteen mem bers represented all parts of Imperial county, two members having come from the Colorado River district
 Very commendatory is the report of the body as to the conduct of the coun- ty offices. The books of all officials are declared to be we'll kept and their work carefully done.
