Restoration of Lumber Rates.

Judging from the present outlook it
is probable that the rates on lumber
which were in force on the Southern
Pacific and it's connections before the
passing of the embargo will be soon
restored. Owing to the high pressure
caused by the congestion of freight
traffic in other classes of goods the
Southern Pacific deemed it imperative
to restrict the shipments of lumber
from the northwest to interior points
several months ago. The situation has
eased up somewhat, and the Southern
has just sent out requests to all its
Oregon and Washington connections to
restore the old rates as soon as posi-
