RATES MERELY RESTORED.
No Cause for Complaint as to the Til

No Cause for Complaint as to the Til.
lamook Steamer Service.
Because the people OF Tillamook en-
joyed the benefits resulting from rate
war, they have made some complaint
at the restoration OF rates, Accord
ing to TIllamook dispatch to the Ore
gonian, the people there think they are
being unjustly taxed. but the story
originating from Tillamook does not
correspond with the statement made
at the headquarters OF the Elmore line
in this city.
Mr. Elmore said yesterday that, since
the vosburg had been OF the run, rates
had merely been restored. The charge
is just what 1t was prior to the diff
Guilty between the contending inter-
ests. The minimum freight rate to
large shippers is "a a ton, and always
has been. 1t Is further stated in the
Oregonian's dispatch that many firms
do fully $4OO worth of business
month with the Elmore line, but 1t Is
asserted at local headquarters that but
two TiIlamook firms have paid that
much In freight rates in three months
since the Elmore has been on the run.
The company believes the rate to be
reasonable, and says It has heard OF no
complaint from the people of the
thriving town south Of Astoria.
