the station and after being unloaded
passed out to tbe west yard. But little
vibration was shown at the new station
as the train passed through. Engineers

while others stood in the station to
notice the effect of the passing of the
train. An engine passed through the
station on Tuesday afternoon at late
hour, with officials of the company,
the first one through.

fic Coast Lumber Manufacturers as
ISOLATION will bring suit before the
Interstate commerce commission
against the Northern Pacific railway,
alleging discrimination in the distri-
button of cars, and holding the Hill
line liable for business losses because
the timber interests have not had en-
Ougl quipment to make eastbound
shipments. 1t is claimed that not
more than As per cent of the number
of cars required are being furnished
by the Northern Pacific.
A Committee representing the mill
men is working quietly to secure a
fund of $4,000 to carry on the prose
cution of the suit against the North
ern Pacific. This was authorized al
a recent meeting of the lumber asso'
citation, but the facts have been sup

the fight. Lumbermen claim tha
the Great Northern has plenty OF car
and that the mills on this system
have been able to ship promptly
But 80 per cent of the Washington
rail- mills are located on the lin
