GETS INSUlTED WHEN ASKED
FOR HIS BILL FOR SERVICES
YESTERDAY.
Has Nearly Two Years Pay Coming
But Declines to Say What He Ex-
poets for Work.

Engineer R. H. Thomson of Seattle
yesterday declined to put in his bill
to the city for services performed the
past year and half in locating an
available source of supply for Walla
Walla's proposed gravity water sys-
tem although it was explained to the
engineer that it was only business
proposition for the city to know what
ne expected for his services. Engin-
come highly indignant when the
subject was broached, declaring that
it was an insult Just where the in
suit came in Councilman Bridges
said this morning that he was at
loss to understand.
THE council was lax in engag-
ing Engineer Thomson without first
knowing what he expected for his
services" COUNCILMAN Bridges said
this morning "The matter has been
allowed to run nearly two years now
and the council is still in ignorance
of what Engineer Thomson will ex-
pect for the. work ne has perform
ed There is no way of determining
what value he may place on his SER
vices and the least that Mr.. Thorn
son could do would be to give us
Of -hot no iC
charge There is no doubling En-
gineer Thomson's ability as hy-
draulic and civil engineer, and the
services ne has performed for Walla
Walla are undoubtedly of much val
ue but his declining to put in his
bill yesterday when requested to GER
tainly looks bad
Engineer Thomson left last night
for Seattle. Before leaving it is under
stood he filed a communication with
Clerk Reynolds which will be read
before the council Friday night. The
nature of the communication is not
known. but it is believed to have
some bearing on the starting of pre-
liminary work on the proposed gravity
water system. Engineer Thomson sew
eral weeks ago filed an ordinance. au-
thorizing the holding of special
election for the purpose of voting on
the water question, but for some rea-
son or other no action has been TAX
en- in the matter.

Rules That Goods to Eastern Wash.

est Route.

The state railway commission has
rendered a decision granting every
petition prayed for in the triple
headed complaint ::aue by Colfax
Spokane and Seattle shippers.
1t has agreed to cause an order to
be entered abrogating the rule of
the Northern Pacific in routing all
shipments from the Sound to east
ern Washington points via Port
land. 1t also demands that joint
rates be given by the railroads in
the state and to establish a joint
rate on coal from Roslyn to Col
fax
The details of the joint rate will
have to be worked out by the COM
mission and when that task is COM
pleted the formal findings of the
board will be promulgated.
Shippers to Route.
At Seattle and Tacoma yesterday the
Northern racine dllIlOullISu SheA'
in the future all freight routed via
the O. r. & N. will be routed in ac-
cordance with the instructions OF
the shippers, either via Portland or
Wallula, and that where instructions
are not given the freight should be
sent via the junction, where the
cheapest combination of rates is
given.
This order only refers to local bus
mess and does not affect joint rates
on eastern shipments or the question
Of Joint rates tnat was tried before the
washington railway commission al
colfax. The order touches a rate
which is closely allied to the questlor
involved in the Colfax hearing, but
makes no change in the tariff, simply
giving the preference of the routing to
tho shipper and making the cheapest
combination wnere no instructions are
received.
