The decision Of the railroads to ac-
cept the joint wheat rate order means
that it will become effective for the
movement of this years wheat crop.
Had the roads appealed the case Auld
probably have dragged along in the
courts during the years 1906 and 1907,
cutting out both this and next years
crops.
The decision of the railroads to ac-
quiesce in the joint wheat rate order
is expected to cause the greatest sat-
isfactiOn both to the members of the
railroad commission and the farmers
on the line of the o. r. & N. railroad
in eastern Washington, for among
these men the testimony offered at
Colfax showing the superiority of the

FOURTEEN YEARsFOR THOMAS
Desperate Convict, Guilty Of Horse
stealing, Headed for WalIa
Walla Prison.

William Thomas, alias Thomas
Young, an escaped convict from the
Oregon penitentiary and one Of the
most desperate crooks in the north
west, was sentenced by Judge Lynn
at Vancouver yesterday, to serve
sentence of IA years in the Walla
Walla penitentiary for the theft of
horse and buggy three weeks ago.
Thomas entered a plea Of guilty to
horsestealing, hoping to get a lighter
sentence. M
The capture Of Thomas and his sub
sequent sentence is considered OF
much Importance, as he is known to
be a hardened crook. 1t has been
learned by the Vancouver authorities
that Thomas right name is Thomas
Young and that he escaped from the
Oregon state penitentiary last June.
He was arrested and sent to the Ore
gon penitentiary for highway robbery
and had several years to serve when
he broke prison. At the end OF his
sentence at Walla Walla 1t Is likely ne
will be rearrasted and forced to serve
out his unexpired term at Salem.

mean that the wheat shipper can d.
rect where his produce is to go. At
the present time the farmer living on
the tracks Of the o. r. & N. has only
Portland for market, and in the past
he has ben obliged to sell at the Port
land price, when his neighbor, living
few miles distant, on the tracks Of
the Northern Pacific, could get a bet
ter price on the same day for delivery
at Puget sound.
It was also charged, at the Colfax
hearing that Portland millers fire.
quently bought wheat in Northern
Pacific territory and had it shipped
to Portland over that line, when prices
at the two points were about the same
and that the exclusive o. r. & N.
farmers were obliged to hold their
wheat until the Portland millers got
ready to buy it. This is one of the fac
tors that is said to have operated ma
terially against the farmers last re-
ferred to, as it put them at the mercy
of the millers of Portland, where Il
is declared a hard and fast combine
has existed for several years among
the mill men.
1t is said the o. r. & N officials
have figured out that they will be able
to hold their own on the joint rate.
1t is admitted that they can do 80
when their line is completed to Puget
Sound, Of course, and it has been
thought their object in going into the
courts was to postpone the actual op-
Grafton Of the joint rate order until
their new line was in operation.
1t is now declared, however. by per-
sons close to the o. r. & N. that they
had plenty Of testimony in reserve at
Colfax, showing that the actual wheat
prices at Portland and Puget Sound
were the same. but that the difference
| resulted only from the millers' COM
bine at the latter place, but that it
| was figured out this testimony could
be used to better advantage when the
| case went into the courts on appeal.
They have decided it is said, that
they will be able to get their share
of the business even under a joint
| rate. Their position is said to be that
the price Of wheat will be found the
same in both markets, and their
! water grade haul will continue to give
them the advantage.
Predictions are freely made that the
now famous millers' combine of Port
land will extend to Puget Sound, in
| which event the effort will be made to
| reduce the wheat price on the Sound
instead of raising it at Portland. This
will in turn verify the laconic pre-
diction Of one Of the farmer witnesses

ACQU|EsCE IN THE Commission RULING

DER NEW CONDITIONS.
AcQu|EscE IN THE COMMISSION RULING

The railroads will not appeal to the
courts against the order of the rail-
road commission of Washington, when
it is made, establishing joint rate on
wheat. is the report that comes from
Olympia.
While the foregoing statement can
not be confirmed at the Office of the
railroad commission, it Is known to
be the present plan of the railroad Of
ficials to accept the order and &C.
quiesce in its provisions.
Those conversant with the associa-
ton have not regarded it as being
to the interest Of either Of the north
ern roads to fight the joint rate prop
osition. According to the showing
made at the hearing in Colfax, how
ever. the o. R. & N. will be a great
financial loser unless new conditions
are created and unless the testimony
taken at the hearing gave a wrong
understanding Of the actual situa-
ton.
All of the testimony heard at Col
fax went to show that wheat is WORTH
| from l to cents a bushel more on
Puget Sound than at Portland, nearly
every month in the year. Troffic Off
Gals of the o. R. & n have stated
plainly that they were opposed to a
joint rate because it would mean a
great financial loss to them. Their
estimate was that it would divert to
other roads 100000 worth of their
business annually. and would make the
o. r. & n. lines in Eastern Washing
ton, short feeders for the longer hauls
to be obtained by the Northern Paci-
fic and the Great Northern under the
| joint wheat rate order.
