RAILWAY .FREIGHT
CHARGES TO FAIR
WILL RETURN ALL EXHIBITS SENT
TO ST. LOUIS TO POINT OF
*HIPME'NT FREE.
IMPOSE CERTAIN CONDITIONS
Former Senator Mantle, president of
the Montana World's Fair commission,
has received notice of the freight rates
granted by the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Montana Central railroads.
These rates cover all freight to be sent
from Montana to the World's Fair in St.
Louis and become effective October s7.
Through the work of President Mantle
the roads decided to grant a free rate
from all points in Montana to a center
in the state to be named by him. Mr.
Mantle named Bozeman as the place where
all agricultural exhibits are to be collected
and Butte as the place where are to be
sent all other exhibits.
The roads also granted free transporta
tion of the same exhibits from the points
to their respective locations after return
ing from the fair.
Following is the letter as sent to Presi
dent Mantle:
The following will govern the trans
portation of articles for exhibit at the
"Louisiana Purchase Exposition," to be
held in St. Louis, Mo., during 190o4:

free, returning, all property exhibited at
said exhibition, that has paid full tariff
rates to the same, but only by those routes
that originally carried said exhibits, and
only in case the return shipment is offered
for transportation within go days after
the close of said exposition, this contin
gent on presentation, at the time of re
turning shipment, of receipted freight bills,
showing charges paiu on the freight going,
accompanied by certificates of duly au
thorized official, that same has been on
exhibition, and has not changed hands;
said papers to be surrendered to the re
ceiving railroad agent.
The commodities enumerated in the fol
lowing list, which are likely to be shipped
for exhibition at said exposition, and
which, owing to their nature, it may not
be desired to return, may be carried from
Idaho and Montana points to St. Louis
at the rate of 6o cents per too pounds,
in straight or mixed carloads, based on a
minimum of so,ooo pounds for each car
used:
Agricultural products, horticultural
products, floricultural products, forest
products, specimens (botanical, fossil and
mineral), samples of celeals and grasses
(including maps, statistics, drawings and
photographs not advertising any indi
vidual's trade).
Free rates will be made to assembling
points in each state (as shown below) on
articles Intended for exhibition, to be for
warded from such assembling points to
St. Louis via roads parties hereto. Free
rates will be made on such articles re
turned from the assembling points noted
after close of exposition.

CIRCUIT COURI Oi
HEINZE'S. APPEALS
BOTH APPLICATIONS IN THE WRITS
OF SUPERSEDEAS AND CER
TIORARI ARE DENIED.
HAD NO RIGHT TO APPEAL
Higher Court Says Judge Knowles Had
Power to Grant Michael Devitt
Inspection Order.
The Montana Ore Purchasing company
has met a second defeat in the order of
survey proceedings instituted by the Butte
& Boston company in the United States
court to compel the latter company to
allow a survey of the underground work
ings of the Michael Devitt claim through
the workings of the Rarus, Johnstown and*
Pennsylvania.
The United States circuit court of ap
peals today denied both applications and
the writs of supersedeas and certiorari.
The court held that the Montana Ore
Purchasing company had no right to an
appeal from the order of Judge Knowles
granting the inspection, and that the
order was not cxcessive in its breadth or
relief granted, and that the order could
properly apply to the workings of the
Johnstown company, because the latter
had entered and taken possession of the
shaft while the suit was pending, and
whatever possession it had was subject to
the powers of Judge Knowles' court to
grant the order of inspection as it did
in this case.
A telegram from San Francisco states that
the appeal was dismissed and the apptlication
for a writ of certiorari was denied.
Since the order of Judge Knowles was
granted the inspection party have made several
fruitless attempts to get into the ground in
dispute, but so far have not succeeded. The
first trip made to the workings was through
the lIerkley shnft, but on reaching the point
where tile secret cross-cut is supposed to exist
in the Devitt the party were orderedl out of the
mine and threatened with bodily harm.
It was announced a few days ago the sur
vcying party woutld he lowered through the
Rarus, ,but on arriving at the mine another
refusal was met with. This has continued ever
s.nce, and so far nothiing in the way of an
inspection has been accomplished.

Time Saved.
"The advantage obtaineld by the new
Hill shlilps, operating in connection with
the fast trains of the G;reat Northern and
its castlrn connectionlls, is apparelnt. Th
time via the new route follows:
"London to New York, seven dlays.
"New York to tile North I'acitie coast
ports, via St. Paul and the great North
ern Flyer, four days.
"North Pacific ports to Japan, 20 days.
"North Pacific ports to the ('hina ports,

"London to Japan ports, through time,

"It is therefore apptarent that via the
Ilill ships there is a clear saving, Ionidon
to Japan, of a) days over the l'eninsular

Nord l)eutscher Lloyd. 'There is a pro
iprtional saving to the ('China ports, and to
all the Siberian ports and the Oriental
pIrts south of Ilong Kong reached through

"Round the world tickets are inl. great
hdemand in EIngland andi on tile Continent
and 'globe-trotting' travel is steadily in
creasing. The question of rates offers
rldditional advantage to the new Ilill ships.
' lie Nortd I)eutscher, Lloyd and Penin

prts with profit to all the interested lilies.
'lihe superior accommodations of the great

drawing cards for the new route. The
fact that travelers will be enabled to see
the principal American cities en route is
also a factor."
Round the World.
Speaking of various phases of his Euro
I.an investigation Mr. Stone in an inter
vie w yesterday said:
"This round the world traffic is largoe
than one who has not looked into it would
suppose. So far as America is at present
concerned, we apparently cut very little
fi:ure in it. It is routed from London to
a very great extent over the Canadian Pa
itfie lines from Montreal to Vancouver atul
our English cousins, after mnaking such a
trip, write for tile press at home on
'; cross America' telling all about the great
country they have seen. As a matter of
fact many who make such trips never set
foot in the United States. Their views
are therefore largely conftined to what they
have seen in English territory.
"I met a very well informed English
.gentleman in London who prided himself
-on having made the round the world
trip and having seen America. I asked
him what cities in America interested himn
most, and he replied that he liked Quebec
and Toronto best, but thought Winnipeg
had a great future. This man thought he
hlild seen America, but New York, Chicago,
lliflsburg, Seattle, Tacoma, St. Paul and
Minneapolis were not even 'one night
stands' in his itinerary.
"Such travel is desirable. With the in
auguration of the new Great Northern
service much of it can be brought into
