between the North Atlantic coast ana
the Pacific coast discriminates against
Denver merchants and jobbers III FAVOR
of those Of San Francisco and other
Pacific coast points in the matter OF
freight rates Tt is alleged that the de-
fendant companies exact rate on cal
leo and some similar merchandise from
Atlantic coast points to San Francisco
and other Pacific coast points OF 81 per
hundred pounds on carload lots and
$3.50 per hundred on less than carload
lots, whereas to Denver and Colorado
common points they charge SI-79 per
100 with no reduction for carload lots.
On other classes of merchandise such
as cotton sheetings, cotton duck. etc,
the defendants charge a rate Of 80 cents
per hundred on carload lots and $1.35
per hundred for a less amount than
carload. while the rate on the same
goods to Denver and Colorado common
points is Sl.79 per hundred, irrespective
Of amount. 1t is urged that this is a
case in which the shorter haul is in
cluded in the longer and the charges to
Denver are excessive, unjust, unreasOn-
able and discriminatory.
The complainant asks the commission
to estab lish proper rates to Denver from
Atlantic coast points and to order that
they in no event shall exceed the rates
to the Pacific coast points.
Another case involves the freight rates
charged by southern roads for the ship
ment Of fruit to the northern markets.

There is likely to be an interesting
fight for the Republican nomination
to the house of representative for the
city district in Leavenw worth county.
Frank Ohhausen was the member at
the last session. but he is not one of
the Anthony crowd which now
seems to be in control of the political
situation in Leaven worth. Frank Obi
hansen was put in because Of his per
sona1 popularity with the union labor
voters and citizens generally. He
made a good record IN the house, but
it is said that ANTHONY will fight his
denomination.
Two other candidates are mentioned
as possibilities. One is E Burgoyne
Baker. He Is young man OF great
ability. who is looked upon in Leav-
enworth as a power in political af-
fairs The other candidate is Jim
Graham. There is some prospect that
Ohlhausen may decide not to be a
candidate.
