East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-11-18

A special from Chicago to TIE Ore
gon Daily Journal, in giving the re-
suit of the trial of railways for extor-
tionate livestock rates, before the in
terstate commerce commission, SAYS:
In the interstate commerce commits
sion inquiry into livestock rates today
Mr.. Munroe, representing the railway
interest, was questioned closely re
garding the existing rates and the
profits to the companies.
Our rates are fixed by the apply
ing of common commercial and traffic
rules to the particular commodity in
question" said the witness.
"The complaint is that extort;onate
and excessive rates have been charg-
ed and all sorts of abuse practiced
but the fact that men are at the cat
tile raising and shipping business year
in and year out and still seem TO have
money for the purpose of carrying it
on, is some indication that conditions
are not unbearable. AS far as these
rates being extortionate are concern
ed, 1 can say that in most cases they
are not even compensatory"
Further questioning brought out the
statement that the rate on livestock
from Cheyenne to Omaha is 90 cents
Cor 100 pounds, and that on solid
train of 40 cars the company would
receive $2400. Mr.. Munroe further
stated that livestock was handled az
a lower profit to the railroad compa-
ries than nearly any other kind of
fl Ieight.
do you consider s240O too little
for one train. operated by one engin-
eer and crew, from Cheyenne TO
Omaha?" asked Commissioner Prou-
ty.
1--WE never had a solid stock train
of that size, but If we did we might
afford to handle them at that rate"
But" objected Mr.. Prouty. what
difference does it make whether the
train is composed of ten cars of cattle
and the remainder some other kind of
freight, which you say yourself is
more profitable?"
Mr.. Munroe then went into a tech
nical explanation of the problems in
volved in the handling of livestock
but the commission was not satisfied
and he was kept on the stand the
greater part of the day. Commission
er Prouty said tonight that he had no
hope of closing up the case at this
session of the commission. The inves-
tigation will be continued tomorrow.

TO SETTLE CASE
AFTER TEN YEARS
JEFFERSON STREET PAVING
MATTER, NOW IN SUPREME COURT,
LIKELY TO BE ADJUSTED.

City Has Made Property Owners n
Proposition to Settle and the own
ers Have Agreed Upon n Counter
PrOpOsitiOn-TwO Representatives
of the Owners Appeared Before
Council, But Matter Was POstpOn-
ed So Owners Might Be Present.
An effort that has been under way
for some time to settle the Jefferson
street paving case, was brought to
light at the meeting of Council last
night.
The property owners were to have
appeared before Council, but only two
representatives of the owners were
there, and the matter was postponed
with the understanding that a special
meeting of Council would be called if
necessary whenever the owners agreed
upon a time to meet.
The case is one that has been pend
ing in the courts for ten years. 1t was
tried in the Superior Court at the last
term and was won by the city. 1t was
appealed by the property owners to
the Supreme Court and is set for a
hearing in October. 1t is more than
likely that it will be settled within
the next few weeks and withdrawn
from the Supreme Court.
Counter Offers Made.
When tried in the Superior Court the
city was awarded the original amounts
due on the paving, about $500 and
interest at per cent from the time the
paving bill were rendered, about ten
years ago. This interest almost doubles
the original amount, it has been run
ming for so long. The city recently
made a proposition to the owners to
settle the case for the principal and
31R per cent interest
At the office of Mr.. G. H. Dorsett
several days ago. a meeting of a
number of the property owners was
held, and a counter proposition was
determined upon. The owners agreed
to offer to pay the city the principal
without interest in installments of 5
per cent each month, if the city would
settle on that basis. The owners were
to have appeared before Council to
make this offer, but did not show up.
Agents Were Present.
Messrs c. F. Fulton and Carl Men
del, real estate agents, representing
some of the owners, were at the meet
ing and appeared before the Commit
tee of the Whole. They did not think
they had the authority to make the
proposition determined upon without
some of the owners being present, and
asked that the matter be postponed.
Acting Mayor Dixon requested them
to notify the city whenever the owners
desired to have a hearing. Mr.. Dixon
stated after the meeting that the mat
ter need not go over until the next
regular meeting. If the owners wish
ed the matter brought up earlier, he
said he would call special meeting to
take it up.
The acting Mayor stated, when the
counter proposition of the owners was
explained to him, that the city would
not accept it. Mr.. Dixon thinks that
the proposition of the city is exceed
ingly liberal, considering the recent
award of the court. He believes it
will be accepted by the owners.
Jefferson street was paved with Bel
gian blocks about ten years ago. The
property owners claimed the shell
pavement which was replaced, was
good and they declined to pay the paw
ing bills. Since then the matter has
been in the courts.
