WOULD SURVEY
SWAMP LANDS

washington, July 16.-Representa-
tive steenerson proposes to have in
cluded in the indian appropriation bill
authority for survey Of the swamp
lands in the Red Lake Indian reserva-
ton, with view to their drainage.
His action is the result of a resolution
passed by the Red Lake Chippewas
at their council in July in which they
requested that all the merchantable
timber in the reservation, amounting,
it is said, to about 140,O00,000 feet, be
sold and the proceeds devoted to the
cost of draining about 10000 acres
lying west of Red Lake and east Of
the eleven towns" so-called.
Senator Clapp has agreed to assist
in having the appropriation necessary
for the preliminary survey incorpor-
ated in the pending Indian bill If pos
sible There is an nuexpended bal
ance of $4,557.09 from the appropria-
tions for the drainage survey of the
ceded Chippewa lands made in 1906
and it is proposed to authorize its ex-
penditure in connection with this sur
vey.

IMPORTANT
PRINCIPLE
Laid Down Today by Interstate
Commerce Commission

Washington, July 1s.--A far reach
ing principle was laid down by the
interstate commerce commission when
it declined in deciding the case Of
the Globe Milling Co. against the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St Paul railway
to make retroactive freight rate ar
rangement now in force whereby Wa
tertown, Wis, is placed on a parity
with Minneapolis in the milling of rye
when the product moves to eastern
destinations.
In disposing of the case, the COM
mission says: This commission does
not by fixing rates, attempt to over
come the advantages which one city
may have by reason of its natural
or geographical location. The fact
that a carrier has by certain rate
adjustment as to one commodity en-
abled the manufac acturer or producer to
overcome the natural disadvantage of
his location is not in itself ground
upon which this commission is justi-
fed in establishing a like adjustment
as to another commodity

in which he could have been interested
