new TARIFF ON COMMODITIES
Goes INTO EFFECT APRIL IS
Lewiston Given Many Advantages by the Change
of Rates. Spokane Hard Hit, Heavy
Rate on Oranges

Agent w. ]. Jordan of the Northern
Pacific is in receipt of the new tariff
sheets recently approved by the Traffic
association at their conference in Chi
cago. In speaking of the matter today
Mr.. Jordan states that there is no
material disadvantages in the rates
quoted so far as Lewiston Is concerned.
He states that in most cases Lewiston
more than any other point In the north
west has been directly benefited.
The heaviest raise affecting the job
bing interests of Lewiston is the raise
on tropical and citrous fruits which
raises the rate on oranges and lemons
from Portland to Lewiston IL cents on
carload lots This raise also affects
Spokane and gives Portland, Seattle
and Tacoma a decided advantage.
Heretofore the rate on oranges and
lemons was 56 cents on carload lots
while the rate on less than carload lots
have been reduced from $1.4S to $l.25.
A corresponding raise has been made
on the rate from California points.
The rates which will 60 into effect

than offset the disadvantages. Hereto
fore Spokane and other points were un-
able to ship mixed carloads of can
goods into the Clearwater country
which acted against the jobbing firms
in this city but the traffic association
has now eliminated the mixed carload
privilege and hereafter these goods
must be sent in straight carloads. This
will give Lewiston jobbers a large ad-
vantage in that they are enabled to
send mixed carloads from here to the
Clearwater country to better advantage
than heretofore.
The rate on bulk beans has been
raised from As cents to 55 cents which
will work in favor of Lewiston jobbers.
Another matter which has been decid-
ed by the association is that they have
reduced the minimum weight on car
load lots of goods that may be shipped
i'm here which will give the jobbers
many advantages heretofore net in
force.
The tenor of the change in rates is
probably designed more to affect Spo-
kane than any other point on the lines
of any road. Tt is quite true that

WRITER'S TO GO WITH ARMY
Japan Arranqes for Five Americans ia
Accompany Its Forces

Questions of arrangements for the
large number of foreign correspondents
in New York who are desirous of ac-
companying the Japanese field forces
have been bothering the war Office a
great deal, says a dispatch from Tokyo.
The Japanese wish to afford the corre-
spOndents every reasonable facility
possible to make them comfortable
while campaigning but recognize the
difficulty of living to which foreigners
are accustomed. The bestt he army
could offer was the regular japanese
ration, with transportation of seventy
pounds Of baggage.
After a prolonged discussion, it was
arranged for the correspondents to ap-
point contractor to run a field can
teen and undertake transportation. The
war office has approved this scheme.
and expects all the correspondents to
rely on the contra ctor. but will supply
rations in an emergency. The con-
tractor also supplies the foreign mill
tary attaches. He is bonded to fulfill
his agreement.
The war Office has finally determined
to send only fifteen with the first coll
umn, eight British. five American. one
Frenchman and one German, this being
a representation proportionate to the
respective number of correspondents
here. Subsequent lots will accompany
the different columns. 1t is impossible
to obtain definite Information as to
when the start will be made, but the
hfteen already selected have been told
to be ready to leave at a moments
