LOWER FRUIT RATES.
Sound Market Opened to Yak
ina and Walla Walla.
SWEEPING REDUCTION MADE.
Local Rates on Lake Shore Road Cut
Great Northern Progressive
New Appointments.

The Northern Pacific railroad has estab-
lished new freight tariff on fruit and
vegetables from Eastern Washington to
the Puget sound cities, which involves a
reduction ranging from % to 50 per cent.
on the old rates. 1t was announced IN the
following telegram received yesterday
from S. g. Fulton, assistant general freight
agent, to I. A. Nadeau, the general agent
in this city:
We are mailing you today supply of joint
tariffs With the Oregon d Washington Territory
railroad making a rate OF 40 cents per hundred
weigh, green fruit in straight car loads, or
green fruit and vegetables in less than car loads
from Walia WallG and other points on the Ore
g0u & Washington Territory railway, to Tacoma
ana SEATTLE effective June 23; also special tariff
making rate OF 30 cents per hundredweight
on green fruit in straight or mixed car loads,
and f. cents on fruit and vegetables in less than
Car loads from al! points between North Yakima
and Elensburg, inclusive, TO Tacoma and Seat
tie. effective June p.
Under the cid tariff the rate was 80 cents
on car loads from Oregon & Washington
Territory points, so that the new tariff
makes a reduction of % per cent. From
Yakima and Ellensburg and common
points the rate was 50 cents on less than
car loads, there being no car load rate. so
that the new tariff makes a reduction of
80 per cent. on car loads and % per cent.
on less than car loads.
On the Oregon a. Washin gton Territory
road fruit and vegetables will be hauled
TO Hunts junction on passenger trains,
and will probably reach Seattle and Ia
coma the day after it is loaded. From the
Yakima and Kittitas valleys it will always
certainly arrive the day after 1t is loaded.
This tariff and quick service will greatly
stimulate the selling of fruit from Eastern
Washington in the Sound cities, the trade
having languished hitherto on account of
the high rates.
