PLAN TO REACH COAST

Tacoma, Dec. 27.-The report that
the Northwest RI is planning TO reach
the coast has been greatly strengthen
ed by the information that North
western agents have been in Tacoma
recently for the purpose Of examining
conditions Among these agents was
Thomas A. Lawson of Chicago, assis-
tant general superintendent Of the
Northwestern. He was a guest at the
Tacoma hotel for a week during the
early part Of the present month. He
made a trip over the Tacoma Il East
ern and a tour of the tide lands.
When he left he had in his possession
valuable data and maps.
Mr.. Lawson is one Of the most
trusted Of the Northwestern officials.
He has been in the service Of the road
for a long time and has conducted
work like this before.

Washington, Dec. 26.--Iuterstats
Commerce Commissioner Lane who
has direct charge Of ameliorattng coal
and car famine conditions In the
northwest, is in daily receipt Of let
ters from coal dealers and residents
In North Dakota, Minnesota, wyom-
ing aud Idaho.
Some Of the writers go 10 the ex-
tent Of saying that In many instances
freight trains have not passed railroad
stations for a month or six weeks and
that hundreds Of thousands II dollars
have been lost to the farmers aud ele
vator men, particularly ia North Da-
kota, By means Of their failure 10 OBJ
tain cars 20 move their wheat and
fax.
Com missioner Lane today received
a letter, which Is sample Of many.
from Cheyenne, n. D., which stated
that on November 20 car was billed
from that point and that on December
II the car was still ON the sidetrack
and u freight train had not passed mp
or down for Eeeks.
Governor Goodins, TO whom Com
missioner LAae lad written for infoF~
nation relating to conditions in Ida
ho, states:
''Tne serious trouble, II seems TO
me, is the fact that among the trans
portation companies the one impor-
thnt consideration In their manage
ment, IL the securing Of dividends
without regard to service Fend red to
the people, The latter consideration
Is entirely lost sight Of. "

reason to believe that law will be
passed creating such body. The
state will then be in better position
to assist your commission than at the
present timA.'
The governors letter to General
Manager Bancroft of the Oregon Short
Line is dated December 3. Follow
ing are some excerpts:
After careful consideration Of
the whole matter feel warranted in
saying that your comp any is wholly
to blame for the serious condition
now existing in southern Idaho from
the coal famine from which the peo-
pie are suffering.
From matters submitted to me
by the local coal dealers end from
the report of the state in migration
commissioner it is evident that your
company has failed to furnish cars at
the coal mines since last July.
From the correspondence submitted
to me it is evident that no more than
80 per cent Of orders fled by local
dealers with the mining companies
have been flied.
have a copy of telegram from
the Kemmerer Coal company to local
dealers stating that the company
could not work its mine more than
half time because of a scarcity of
cars.
II feel that in this matter the PEG
pie of Idaho have a right to know
upon whom the blame should rest.
AS a common carrier, with complete
monopoly of the transportation OF
southern Idaho, the people expect
your company to provide proper
equipment for doing the business of
the state. 1t is true Idaho made a
marvellous growth during the past few
years, but no one was in so good
position to know what this great de-
velopment of the state was as your
company. Not to prepare for this.
so that you would he able promptly
to furnish the necessities of life, can
not be too strongly condemned.
UNLESS this stu ton is relieved
at once / shall consider it my duty,
as the governor of this state, to adj
wise a drastic measure so that the pre-
sent fuel famine may be ended. 3"
