An Inquiry Into Express Charges.

All newspaper readers are famil-
lar with the fact that for some time
past there has been widespread dis
satisfaction among shippers with re-
gard to the rates charged for the car
riage of parcels by the express COM
panies. Little surprise, therefore,
has been occasioned by the filing with
the interstate commerce commission
of a petition in behalf of 1913 great
commercial organizations in all parts
of the country calling for thorough
inquiry into the methods pursued by
the corporations referred to in their
dealings with patrons. Nevertheless,
the outcome of this inquiry may be
not only such as very materially to
alter the conditions under which the
express business is at present carried
on, but to bring to an issue the ques-
ton of establishing a parcels-post
system.
The petitioners complain that pres
ent express charges are unreasonable
and extortionate, and that the in
| Justice to which the shipper is sub
| jected in this particular is fragrant
and continuous. 1t is alleged that
competition in express service has
been largely eliminated, and that I'M
just and unreasonable regulations
and practices are enforced, that the
rate for express freight is from two
and one-half to four times the first
class freight rate. and that the rail-
roads receive for moving 100 pounds
in small parcels as high as 81 IL
times the amount charged by them
for 100 pounds of first-class freight.
| For the reason that, on the one
hand, there is very pronounced
demand for parcels-post system
Throughout the country, and, on the
other, that there are reasons, ands
| in the minds of thinking people,
strong ones, why parcels-post sys-
tenn shall be avoided. If possible, it is
to be hoped that the interstate COM
merce commission may be able to
solve the express problem through
intelligent supervision and regula-
ton. The express companies, it
should be said, will only be standing
lin their own light If they shall at
tempt to hinder the proposed in
Iquiry, or to postpone or prevent the
reformation in their methods which
not only business men but all classes
of citizens are now coming to re-
gard as necessary to the public well

GREAT LOSS Of
SHEEP
Heavy Loss by Stampeding
Occurs Occasionally
in Cascades.
FLOCK STAMPEDES
Loss of Sheep by Stamped
ingOccu rs Occasionally
in Cascades.
FLOCK STAMPEDES

1t is fact scarcely known 10 the
ordinary person that sheep STAN
pedes sometimes occur in the noun
tains which occasion great loss, and
hundreds of sheep at one time have
been known to be lost in this way
A sheep stampede like this occurred
few days ago near Leavenworth,
when the band belonging to John
Slomer was piled up in a gulch and
$50 were left dead at the bottom
Mr.. Slomer owns a band of about
1000 sheep which he brought from
Washtucna and which are now rang
ing along the Icicle. The sheep in
some way became frightened and in
running and falling down the side
of the hill, many were piled in the
creek at the bottom. Those under
meath formed a veritable bridge over
which the others passed.
Other Stampedes.
Two years ago another band herd
ed by a Frenchman stampeded near
Leavenworth and in ten minutes 800
sheep were dead.
Eight years ago the band owned
by Lair & Duncan was frightened in
some way and the whole flock was
piled up at the bottom of the can
yon. In ten minutes 800 were
smothered. 1t was never known
what was the cause of the stampede,
but the finding of big set of deer's
antlers recently is responsible for the
belief that a deer had something to
do with it.
S. A. Blankenship of the forestry
department, with headquarters at
Leavenworth, tells the story of the
destruction of nearly a whole herd in
Wenana national forest four years
ago. The sheep were being driven
down a steep precipice to the creek
at the bottom for water. In few
minutes the bottom was a struggling
mass of sheep. They were soon piled
ten and twelve deep. OF the 1000
in the band, 800 were dead in a few
minutes.
The stampede occurred near a set
Element and soon everyone in the
neighborhood, including the Indians
in large numbers, were helping them
selves to the mutton. In two weeks
the smell was so awful that it was
almost unbearable a distance of two
miles.

OREGON
Development Plans Include
Extension of Boise IT.
rigation Project.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 12.-The
Dalles military road land grant, con-
tanning an almost unmeasured area
extending through the heart of in
terror Oregon, is to be developed and
eager to take possession, says the
Oregon Journal.
Walter Martin, a San Francisco
capitalist, who, with his brother,
Peter Martin, is chief owner of the
vast area, made known development
plans recently that were startling
even in generation of big projects.
These plans include extensions of
the Boise-IdahO irrigation project
into Malheur county, retaining
l so, 900 acres, with an ultimate cost
of nearly 100000. The Willow
Creek irrigation project will be SINH
larly enlarged.
There are to be additional extern
sions to the Sumpter valley railroad
entering the John Day valley, while
still other additional transportation
schemes are included.
1T is land my father, Edward Mar
tin, bought in 1872" said Walter
Martin. I'VE have held it nearly 40
years at great expense. Now we are
going to divide up the whole tract
and open it to settlers.
Il have been a little surprised at
the eagerness manifested by pros
pective settlers. l have been in Port
land several days and my time has
been almost exclusively occupied with
applications for lands. My present
operations are dealing rather es-
| pecially with the John Day valley
lands. isa
There are about 100000 acres of
| first class fruit and alfalfa land that
only awaits development. The land
| is lower than in Harvey county and
| l find is ideally located for fine crops
~ oCNCl al al lCllCo VI liu
alfalfa does especially we'll.
For years we have known that
big productions were more than pos
sible, but there was no transporta-
ton. There was no incentive even
for modern farming for larger re-
turns, since the crops could not be
moved when produced. Transporta-
ton now will not only work wonders
for interior Oregon but for Portland.
| believe the development of bust
ness industry in Portland during the
next ten years will be greater than
that of any other Pacific coast city.
1.-The building of railroads up the
Deschutes and into central Oregon
has started other plans for railroad
building in Oregon that | am sure
will be realized. | have great faith
in Oregon's future, and l believe that
now is the time to become active in
development projects.
The Dalles military road grant ex-
through Sherman, Grant and Wheel
er counties, beyond Vale to the ex-
IRENE border of the state.
In such portions as have been de-
veloped, namely, tracts in Sherman
county, the wheat yields have been
very profitable. The best of the land
has never been touched by plow.
Mr.. Martin, accompanied by his
brother, expects to make an automo-
bile tour of his properties, also going
through southern Oregon by automo-
bile, beginning August l. The bro
theirs are DESTROYS of Investigating
practically interior Oregon's develop
ment possibilities. with view to
making further investments in lands.

WENATCHEE VALLEY

According to figures compiled by
the Daily World and secured from
reliable sources, there was used in
the Wenatchee valley during the
year 1909 100000 feet of lumber
If this had been used altogether for
building houses it would have been
sufficient to construct 400 of them.
Of this amount there was pro-
duced in the valley 100000 feet,
while there was shipped in from the
coast 100000 feet. Much of the
lumber that was cut in the Wenat-
chez valley was shipped to the east,
while at the same time large sup
ply of timber was shipped in from
the coast.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-08-12
Much Lumber Cut.

Much LUMBER Gut.
The total amount of lumber cut
during the past year Appropriated
2S,OOO,OOO feet. OF the amount cut
in this valley 2O,OOO,O00 was con-
sumed in the east.
Of the 2S,OOO,OOO feet cut in the
valley during the past year the
largest part was yellow pine, which
represents Y per cent of the total.
The remainder consisted of Douglas
fir % per cent and cedar per cent.
Lamb-Davis Big Institution.
The Lamb-Davis Lumber company
is the big lumber concern of the
county. Of all the lumber cut in this
valley 80 per cent was the output of
| the mill belonging to this company.
Less than II per cent of the remain
der was cut by ten small mills which
include the following: Schmitten
| (2), Worthen, Hendricks, Wright,
Freytag, Long, Sherman, Allen and
Kenyon.
Box Material a Big Item.
One of the big items in timber
consumption in this section is that
of box material. During the past
year there was used 100000 feet
of box boards. This is equal to 333
average sized houses. In five years
this amount will be increased at
least four fold.
According to estimates made by
fruit men this figure is small. These
men say that in five years time 25,-
100000 feet will be required every
year for box material alone. This
material is shipped out every year
and the demand will have to be re-
plenished in full year after year.
100000 Per Quarter.
According to an estimate made by
T. J. Costello, of the firm of Adams
& Costello, of Leavenworth, the big
contracting firm, the timber tribu
tary to the valley averages 100000
feet to the quarter. Accordingly
there was cut during the past yeal
seven whole sections.
This amount is rapidly increasing
and this year it is estimated that tn,
cut in the Wenatchee valley section
will be at least 25 per cent create
than the year previous.
