PAUL OFFICIAL ANNOUNCES 4
NOVEL STATIONS FOR WASH
INGTON AND SIMILAR NUMBER
FOR IDAHO AND MONTANA.

Special to the World.
Portland, Ore, Jan. 4.-The Even
iug Telegram today will say:
Entirely unique in railroad opera
tions and practically a revolution +,
the methods of quick and widespread
development OF new TERRITORY Is the
plan now being worked out by tho
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail
road:
The stupendous scheme will begin
Ito assume tangible proportions even
before the new Independent trans.
continental system Is completed to
the Pacific coast terminals next May.
Briefly, the plan as outlined by an
omcial of the road who has been in
Portland, the scheme is to establish
a series Of experimental farms and
stations along the Pacific coast ex-
tension OF the system, at some dozer
points between Evarts, S. D., and the
Pacific coast. There are now under
consideration IL Of these stations, six
of which will be in the state OF
Washington. the others in Idaho and
Montana.
The plan was first considered when
William Rockefeller, William G.
Rockefeller, jr., and w. Collins, d.
rectors; President A. J. Earring of
the Milwaukee, President H. R. Will
liams of the Milwaukee lines in
Washington, and H. S. Rowe, general
agent for this territory, made a trip
over the coast extension in Septem-
Der.
Among the industries which these
stations will serve to demonstrate to
the settlers, homeseekers, tourists
or investors will be agriculture, hor-
ticulture, sheep and cattle raising,
dairying, forestry, irrigation, power
projects and mining. Roughly
speaking, the average size of the ex-
perimental farms will be about 10
acres, though the arrangement, from
it's very nature. will have to allow
for much elasticity in this respect.
The farms will be conducted along
the most modern scientific lines, ev-
cry up-to-date method Of intensified
farming, crop rotation and every re-
source, crop or industry to which the
individual section will lend itself for
profitable development will be demon
strated under the direction of trained
and practical men.

PRINCE STEPS DOWN AND OUT
Grown Prince George, in a Letter to
the King, Renounces His Claim
to the Servian Throne.

Belgrade.-A cabinet council last
night decided that the premier
is incompetent to receive a direct
communication from Crown Prince
George, who is subject only to his
fathers authority. The premier will
therefore return the letter which the
crown prince sent to him, renouncing
his right of succession to the Servian
throne and will advise the prince to
address himself to the king.
Recently a bitter press campaign
has been waged against the crown
prince. He has been accused of being
implicated in the death one of his
servants, a man named Kolakovits
and it is now learned that the prince
took this action because of threat
ened Interpolation in the national as
sembly on this subject. The prince
now declares that before leaving the
country he will await the final result
of the pending political situation and
will join the volunteers as a private
in the event of war.

The death was made more dramatic

her death. About $3.50 o'clock yester-
