very glad if the commissioners would
make an order abolishing this discrimina-
ton. for such it was admitted to be by
Mr.. Lowe. The attorney further said
that he considered the rate 10 Omaha
unreasonably low.
The compliments called Mr. W. W
Burnett. local agent of the Santa Fe at
Arkansas City, to the stand and tried to
prove that a great deal OF the lumber
from the south was shipped through
Wichita. The agent said that only when

branch was it taken the long haul

all raw lumber from the south. The lum-
her he received from the south Is yellow
rine and cypress and cannot get white
pine at any price. He also shipped lum-
Der from Flagstaff. Ariz.- from northern
Clifornia and Washington. From Flag
staff the rate to Wichita over the Santa
Fe is 40 cents per hundred pounds: to
Topeka 1t is 30 cents per hundred pounds
and the same rate to Kansas City. He
further stated that on account Of the dtf-
ference In rates between Wichita. Topeka
and Kansas City was so great that the
Kansas City mills could enter this terri
tory with the finished product and sell II
