TRANSFER CASE TO-DAY.

Service Commission, with Commissioners Eustis pre-
siding on the question of joint rate and transfer
arreenent between the Belt Line and the Metro
ro,,tan system An order issued last week
-aou,rtnr the Metropolitan receivers and the off-
cials OF the Belt Line TO attend
II is presumed that Messrs. Joline and Robinson.
the receivers will not attend. as they have not
been present the hearings In the past. In that
case provided representatives of the Belt Line do
not oppose issuance of order for joint rate,
IL is likely that such an order will be MADE. IL
would then be up TO the companies to get tosethef
and prepare Joint rate and transfer schedules
Should they do this the case would be taken
TO the courts by the commission
Commissioner Maltbe returned yesterday from
his vacation the commission will have quor ruhi

There are many applicants
for the vacancy made by the
promotion of Senator Knox to the he'd
of the Taft cabinet. The most con-
spicuous of these, from his long ex-
perience in Congress, is Hon. John
DaIzell, a standpatter scarcely less
distinguished than Speaker Cannon
himself, to whom more than any
other man, the tin plate annex of the
steel trust is indebted for the in
creased duty of $50 a ton on tin.
There is no doubt but that the bene-

send big delegation from Pittsburg

The Government Helping.
In addition to the work done by
the Missouri river Navigation con
gress, the government has begun
practical operations along these
lines through the local office of the
weather bureau, After the adjourn
ment of the meeting held last Feb
ruary. the official in charge Of the
local weather bureau took the mat
ter up with the central office at
Washington, d. c., and recommend
led that a river center be established
at Bismarck, and that several sta
tions be established on the Little
Missouri, Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers.
In September last DR.. H. C. Frank
enfield, in charge of, the river and
flood service of the weather bureau,
Washington, D. c., accompanied by
Orris w. Roberts, section director
in charge of the local weather bu-
reau, made an inspection Of the riy-
ers in Montana and North Dakota.
The result of this trip was the es-
tablishment by the chief of the
weather bureau of river center at
Bismarck, and the establishment of
the following stations: Medora, N.
D., on the Little Missouri; Glendive,
Miles City and Billings, Montana, on
the Yellowstone and at Williston,
N. D., Wolf Point, Havre, Fort Ben
ton and Townsend, Montana, on the
Missouri.
All of these stations render daily
| reports of the stage of the river to
the river center at Bismarck, and
these reports are published for the
benefit of those most Interested.
Forecasts of river changes are also
issued by the local office. These
data will prove of the greatest value
when the actual work of improving
the river begins.
