III Is n ve.y generous action, -
sald w. III. Taylor, president OF the
board OF trade, Eonday afternoon,
when told by q REVIEW reporter
mat the two transcontlnental rail-
roads had agreed 10 re-establlsh the
relief tariff on building material.
u am not surprised, however,
continued Mr.. Taylor. az under
stood last fall that such an arrange
ment would probably he made this
spring but | have no doubt that
the vigorous agitation of this matter
OF height rates by the REVIEW hus
hastencd matters.
"The railroads have both been
very generous with Spokane, all the
way through, and | consider that
this action on their part Ia but an
additional proof Of their friendly
feeling toward the city. The new
schedule seems to me TO be about
the right thing"
The new tariff referred to by Mr..
Taylor will go into effect March I,
and will he subject to some change
In the meantime. These rates will
be from Missouri river points. On
material shipped from Chicago, st.
Louis or other Eastern cities, Q
proper proportion OF through ter
mlnul rates will be added. In case
Eastern local rates TO Missouri river
points should become lower than q
proportion OF through terminal rates,
then Spokane Falls viii be given
the advantage of such lower rates.

was received yesterday afternoon, In
the following telegram from Il.

the Union Pacific, and !. q. Fulton.
