Must Reduce Freight Rates.

WASHINGTON, March %. - Upon
complaint of the Stone rdean Wells
company, the interstate commerce
commission has ordered a reduction
in the rates on shipments of canned
goods and fruit from points in Cali
fornia to Montana. Heretofore the
railroads have charged S1.37t per 100
pounds OF shipments of dried fruit
from Fresno, CAL, to Harlowton,
Mont, but the commission holds that
the rate should not exceed $1.1O per
100 pounds on shipments of not less
than 3d. 900 pounds. On canned goods
shipments, a charge of S1.10 per 100
pounds has prevailed from San Jose
to Harlowton. The commission has
ordered the rates reduced to 81 per
100 pounds, of shipments of a mini
mum of 80, 900 pounds.

For the shortest month of the year,
with four Sunda avs and two hold avs,

for March it will be far greater. The

The land grants of the Northern
Pacific railway are practically all
surveyed or under contract, as we'll
as the indemnity strip, but not the
lands in the western part of the state
which lie in forest reserves. The
Northern Pacific has wasted time in

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The committee in charge of arrange
ments for the good roads convention
at Billings proposes to make the &C.
casion of practical benefit to visitors
from various parts OF Montana. A
circular letter sent by the committee
to various newspapers says:
A demonstrat alton of the manner in
which the United States government
constructs highways, is planned as
one of the features of the good roads
convention which will be held in this
city in June, and to the end that a
force of government road builders be
sent to Billings to show the practical
workings of the system, the matter has
been taken up with Secretary Wilson
of the department of agriculture with
the request that he arrange for a par
ty of Uncle Sans highway construc-
tionists to be here. Letters have also
been forwarded to Senators Carter
and Dixon and to Representative
Pray asking that they exert their in
Auence in securing a favorable an
swer from the head of the agricultural
department.
Roads built by the government en-
gineers are known to be the best in
the country, and at the meeting of the
xecutive committee of the good roads
movement SATURDAY. afternoon, it wal
the unanimous opinion that if Secre'
tary Wilson would arrange the dem
Onstration mentioned it would bt
something of immense practical value
to the delegates and visitors, many o,
whom will be men engaged in high
way construction, and that it will ii
q certain degree demonstrate to citi
zens in general how Montana roads
car be improved throughout the state
A portion of one of the highway
leading into the city will be selected
and this will be improved for q dis
lance OF perhaps half q mile in thu
presence of delegates and visitors who
will be taken to the scene in automo
biles and other conveyances.
During the last few years many
miles of roads have been CONSTRUCTED
under the direction of the department
OF agriculture. and the results have
been most satisfactory. 1t is expected
that q favorable reply will be forth
coming from Secretary Wilson in tn,
next few days.
