Improvements had been made in the
system to put money in the Golfers Of
the railroad company and do nothing
for the shipping public.
The witness said he was of the
opinion that the expectations of the
commission and Of the public that rates
should have been reduced, by reason
Of improvements, are sound and fully
JUS titled. He said that certain forces
were in operation which worked
against the lowering of rates.
He presented several charts show
ing the wages paid to certain classes
of employees in 1897 and 1908. He said
the compensation Of the employees had
greatly increased between these years,
the increase IN some cases being fully
so per cent, while the price paid for
overtime work had increased from 40
to so per cent.
In addition to the increase in wages,

MRS. CARRIERS NEW PLAY.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 24.-Mrs. Les
ne Carriers play by Edward Peple,
"Nasta HeTne," had its first perform
ance at Davidson theatre tonight be
fore capacity audience. 1t was a
verItable triumph for Mrs. Carter. who
fas never had a more striking dra-
lhatic roll. in the first modern play
IN which Mrs. Carter has appeared she
demonstrated wonderfully the posses
sion of those talents which have won
Ter the position Of Americas leading
emotional actress. The play is markedly
original in theme and treatment, deal
ing as II does with a woman whose
genius IS stimulated by the habitual
use OF drugs. In the vivid character
izauon Of Nasta HeTne, the genius of
Mrs Carter rose to heights that she
has never eXceIIed.
The new play literally swept the au-

water supply.
The water supply or water
right for this land is made up
from two sources; First-A
filing in the state engineer
office for one hundred twenty
five cubic feet per second of
the flow of Sewer river. This
filing will supply the lands
with water during the high or
flood water of each spring.
Second-A storage reservoir
situated twenty miles south Of
the tract at HatchtOwn, cap
able of holding fourteen thou
sand acre-feet of water. Each
acre of irrigated land sold
will have attached to it 1-7O00
of this reservoir. or two acre
feet of water for each acre
of land sold with a water
right. This supply, if trans
ferred without loss TO the
land, would cover it twenty
four inches deep with water.
The reservoir and canal will
be completed during October
of the present year, so that
irrigation water can be car
ried to all the land during the
irrigation season of 1910.
The purchasers must build
their own laterais. This will
be comparatively an easy mat
ter, as the soil is easily
plowed and the slopes are
favorable.

attention when he was the driver Of

in Manila. and who followed his fare
to Washington, has been for years past

eyed young man has combined with his
duties as valet those Of chef, waiter and
general factotum about the Taft dOmt-
Gle. All the while he takes occasion TO
empha size to outsiders that his status
is that of a student working his way
to an education in English, and that on
no other basis would his father have
cons snted TO have him come to the new
world.

While the terms of the agreement

traffic were not made public, it is I'M
derstooG that the Hartman roads &C
corded the Hill interests a generous
division of the revenue both on pas
senger and freight traffic through the
Portland gateway. The division is said
to be more generous than usually per-
tains in the interchange of traffic, for
the reason that the Hill lines are Civ

freight and passenger business.
