Organized Effort to Abolish Discrimi-
nation by the Union Pacific.
PORTLAND, July 2S-[Special. AT a confer
ence of the committees from the Portland
Lumber Exchange, Portland Transportation
Bureau, and transportation committee of the
Chamber OF Commerce, was held this afternoon.
A joint committee of three was appointed to go
to Omaha to demand of the Union Pacific officials
that the rates on lumber from Portland
to Colorado and other common
points be reduced from so cents per 100
pounds to 40 cents per 100. If the company
gives no satisfactory answer, the committee is
empowered to carry the grievance to the West
ern Traffic Association, and, as a last resort, to
the interstate commerce commission. If the
committee goes before the Western Traffic Asso-
citation, it will set forth that the Union Pacific
Company is discriminating against Portland in
that 1t gives Texas and common points 35-eent
rate on !, 2O0-mile haul, and Portland 5o-cent
rate on Q /, 400-milc haul.

Union Pacific Will Begin Work Next
Snrine=N. Z. A bile tn Handle Crars.

TACOMA, July 2S-[SpeciaLl-Mr Dickinson,
of King & Dickinson, contractors, which firm
has been asked to bid on the Puget Sound extern
sion OF the Union Pacific, is confident that moth
ing will be done on the extension this year, but
next spring, he thinks, the work will go ahead
with rush. 1t is believed that Mr.. Dickinson
knows whereof he speaks.
King Dickinson hope to complete the sno-
homish-Port Gardner branch before the rainy
season sets in.
General Assistant Superintendent Dickinson,
OF the Northern Pacific, says his company will
begin to move the wheat crop about September
]. The local officials of the company appear to
scout the idea that the Farmers Alliance will
hold back the wheat yield in the Northwest.
Mr. Dickinson thinks the company has ample
facilities for hauling the grain crop this season.

THE SCENE OF TIE KILLING.
Road and Bushes Dyed with Blood
Bullets in the PIanks.

sEDRo, July 2s.-lspecial. 1.-The scene of the
shooting was visited by a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
reporter this morning. II is one aud one-half
miles north of Wooley, on acurve on the Seattle,
Lake shore & Eastern railway. bank on the
outside of the curve is twenty feet high, and the
stones and corduroy planks at the bottom are
covered with blood and the planks have many
buried bullets in them. The sheriff and j. F.
Miller and others were unable to make out the
location of the different parties, their stories
are so conflicting about the affair. There are
bushes covered with blood, and the grade shows
evidences Of struggle. The prosecution will
probably claim that the Cinnamon were coming
down the grade to get on the county road COM
ing south to the east of wooley a quarter or a
third OF a mile. It IL considered strange by
some that Poor and Terry were coming down
that way, although the distance is about the
same BY the county road as BY the railroad.

The Omaha Bridge Case.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-A dispatch from Omaha
says: The Union Pacific is taking measures to
prevent the Rock Island and Milwaukee & st.
Paul roads from profiting by yesterdays decision
in the bridge lease case. Opposing attorneys
have disagreed on two points. The Union Pa
cific wants bond to delay the execution of the
contract until finally determined by the SUI
preme court and also that joint rules for run
ming on the bridge be adopted before use of the
bridge begins This would delay matters.
