Lumbermen Fighting For or Against

The "4O-cent lumber rate" has en-
tered into Washington politics. The
lumbermens say they have nominated
to- the Legislature, thirty live. men. from
their. ownSsranks and seven in Oregon,
and they expect#to have a: majority in
both. bodies. A campaign, circular

is said, also, that the gross freight
earnings of the Great Northern and:
Northern Pacific in Minnesota, North

OF the 10000 carloads of lumber going
annually into Kansas, Nebraska, South

Missouri potnts-to which you seek to
have the 40-cent rate eXtended-we now
ship only 5000 carloads from tho Pacific

tribute approximately $4,000 carloads and
the southern manufacturers 100000 car

tory that should be neutral ground, free
for all shippers-fully $4,000 carloads.
This concession is worthy of and has re-
ceived the most earnest and far-reach1ng
efforts in the endeavo>sto secure it,, While
the Accent rate obtains to Minneapolis
and st. Paul, we are shut out Of the
Omaha district, altho the distance is prac-
tically the same. While on the whole our
transcontinental rail rates are as low as
those Of the southern roads, still, if the
extension of territory wero. granted, our
mills would add, it is estimated over
$4,O000O0 annually to the earnings of our
western roads. We need this extension
OF territory in our business: and we are
unanimous " in the decision that we are
entitled to it and should have it.
