with The Herald and has not been

The Washington Post says: The

country, is but the sign that a new
agricultural era is dawning for the
United States"
The Norfolk Landmark CDem) says:
Both Mr. Roosevelt and Congress

Heney Almost Broken Down.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Heney
is believed to be on the verge of a
nervous collapse. For a week he has
been in poor health. 1t is thought that
the persistent worrying tactis of the
defense in he Calhoun trial has
brought him to a condition where
breakdown is imminent. When the
proceedings were resumed today He
ney turned the greater part Of the
work over to his assistant, John
O'Garay Cornelius ]. Harrigan,
member of the old boodling board of
supervisors, took the stand and told
Of accepting a bribe for his vote on
the trolley franchise.

Commerce Commission Has
Slashed Right and
Left in Cuts.
EXPRESS TARIFFS
ARE MUCH REDUCED
Not Believed That Company
Will Fight the New
Reductions.

SALEM, April 3O.-The railroad
l commission today issued an order
making wholesale reductions In the
rates now enforced by the Pacific E.x-
press company. The merchandise
class" rate between Portland and Hun
tington, now $500 per hundred. was
reduced to $500. The rate of $225
between Pendleton and Portland will
be substituted for $500. The rate to
Baker City is cut from 1915 to $3.50,
and to La Grande from $3.50 to S255.
The reduction applies to all points on
the o. r & N. road in a correspond
ing degree. The Dalles is the only ex-
ception. 1t becomes effective 20 days
after the order is served on the COM
pany.
For several months the commission
has been investigating and comparing
rates of the express company in Ore
gon and the rates enforced in other
states. 1t was learned that the rates
are far lower in Missouri, Texas and
other states than in Oregon. The COM
mission determined that the rates in
Oregon are unjust and unreasonable.
1t is believed if the express companies
regard the new order reasonable they
will not resist it, but if the reduction
is greater than anticipated, may seek
an injunction. A similar investigation
is being conducted by the commission
relative to the rates of the Wells
Fargo company on the Southern Pa
cific road.

GALA EVENT FOR
SOUTH IDAHO CITY
Much Enthusiasm Over the
Project Of a Road
Through State.

WEISER, Idaho, April 3O-No di-
vision of sentiment regarding state
aided construction railroad is ap-
parent among the delegates to the

Weiser made elaborate preparations
to entertain the congress. The
streets are decorated and every train
is bringing delegates. They were met
at the depot by the band.
The first road to be built under the
new Idaho district law will be the ex-
tension of the Pacific and Idaho
Northern to Grangeville, where it will
connect with the Hill lines, giving to
Idaho a competition with the Harri-
man monopoly. There is great enthu-
siasm here over the project.
Delegates from Salmon river say
that every citizen from the end of the
Pine Road to Grangeville is anxious
to do all in his power to promote the
extension. Col E. M. Heigho, the To-
cal chairman, called the congress to
order and introduced DR.. j. R. Mum
bers, mayor of Weiser, who delivered
a speech of welcome. Response was
made by the mayor elect of Weiser
