A CASE In POINT.
A Cheney Merchants Experience
Freight TranspOrtatiOa.

Freight Transportatios.
Mr.. J. J. White, the we'll known hard.
ware merchant of Cheney, was in the city
Yesterday. He states that he Is going East
iiu few days to purchase new stock of
hardware. His only reason foi not buy
ing in Spokane Falls is that he thinks he
can obtain better freight rates by going
East in person than the merchants of this
city are allowed. He states that on one
occasion two carloads of stoves were
shipped to him at Cheney. and
upon their arrival at the de-
pot he asked permission to unload
them, as cold weather has Just set in and
there was great demand for stoves. To
his surprise aud Indignation he was To-
formed that the cars had to be forwarded
to Portland and returned before they
could be unloaded. He protested and
finally persuaded the agent 10 detain the
cars for one day. and confer by wire with
the officials Of the road. A lengthy cor.
respondence resulted in granting permis.
sion to unload the cars at Cheney. "But, "
Mr.. White added, ''their messages indi.
Gated that they considered they were
granting me great favor by
not sending the cars on to Portland and
back again. which would have caused a
delay of several days and increased the
risk of breakaQe."
