Five Subjects.

GREAT NORTHERN, o. r. 4 N.
AND NORTHERN PACIFIC
ARE MADE DEFENDANTS.

The following is the full text of
the complaint made by the state rail-
wav commission against the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and o. r. &
\ which will be taken up at the Col
fax meeting, June 20; and which was
given out at Olympia yesterday:
The complaint in what is known as
the Joint rate on wheat case has been
prepared by the railroad commission,
and is a lengthy document of fifteen
tvpewritten pages. The case is en-
titled the railroad commission of
Washington, plaintiff, VS.. the Northern
Pacific Railway Company, the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and
the Great Northern Railway Company,
defendants, and embraces the follow
ing subjects, which will be taken up
for investigation at the hearing set
for Colfax, June 20.
Il. Joint rate on wheat.
"2. Freight rate on empty grain
bags.
"3. Terminal rate for Bellingham.
a Minimum charge on small ship
ments.
- New passenger depot for Pasco
Joint Wheat Rate.
That part of the complaint relating
to the rate on wheat alleges that the
principal industry in Eastern Wash
ington is the raising and producing OF
wheat. which finds it's natural market
through the ports of Tacoma, Seattle
and Portland; that wheat is worth
from IL to 3 cents per bushel more
at Tacoma and Seattle than it is ir
Portland: that the only market en-.
joyed by farmers living on the line o.
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company is Portland, whereas thu
farmers who can ship. to Tacoma o.
Seattle get the benefit of the higher
prices prevailing there; that if join
rate were established and maintained
farmers living on the line of the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany could compel that compan,
to carry the wheat to a common
or transfer POINT and there trans
fer it to the Northern Pacifi
Railway Company to be carried t
rate of freight as is now charged
for delivery at Portland; that tn
present railroad rule and regulation
by which the sum of the two locals i
charged where wheat is shipped owe
two lines of railroad is unjust, unreas
. enable and unfair to the shippers an
producers in Eastern Washington, an
to the milling interests on Puge
Sound
Grain Bag Compliant.
The grain bag complaint allege
that the railroads have adopte
a classification of freight by whic
empty grain bags in less than car loa
lots are classified as taking third
class freight rates, and that fai
Just and reasonable classificatiO
would be a rate of one-half of fourth
class rates.

alleges that all freight originating
upon the line OF the Great Northern
Railway Company, is given what is
known as terminal rates for the cities
! of Seattle, Everett and eBellingham
while on freight originating on the
| lines of the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation Company and carried by the
Great Northern Railway Company from
Spokane, such terminal rates are con-
fined to Everett and Seattle. and
freight consigned to Bellingham must
pay, in addition to such terminal. rates,
the local rates from Everett to Bel
lingham; that this is an unjust and
unfair discrimination against the city
of Bellingham.
Small Shipments.
"The complaint as to the minimum
charge on small shipments alleges
that the railroads have promulgated a
rule under which mo shipment will be
carried for less than would be
charged for 100 pounds second class
freight, and in no case for less than
25 cents, and in addition thereto have
provided in their freight tariff sheets
specific charges which in all cases
amount to- the nearest multiple of five
to the second-class charge for 100
pounds, which charge therefore practi-
cally makes the minimum amount
charged for 100 pounds of second
class freight; the commission alleges
that such rule and regulation is unjust
and unreasonable and is an excessive
charge on small shipments, especial
ly on articles taking a less rate than
the second-class rate, and such rule
and regulation should be abrogated
and what would be a just, fair and
reasonable charge substituted therefor.
1.-The complaint in relation to the
depot at Pasco is as follows:
Needs of Pasco.
THAT a line of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company runs through the
nections are made with the line ope-
rated by the Washington & Columbia
River Railway Company. A large pas
senger traffic exists between Puget
sound and the town of Walla Walla,
| and many passengers are compelled to
alight from the train of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company at Pasco and
, there connect with the Washington &
Columbia River Railway Company's
line for Walla Walla and intermedi-
ate points, and in many instances
great delay occurs in connections at
such point; that the Northern Pacific
Railway Company has not established
and does not maintain sufficient and
proper waiting rooms for passengers
or a fair and proper station at such
4 point and the station so maintained
is, under the circumstances, unreason-
able and insufficient
1T is not probable that the Colfax
complaint will be concluded before
the date set for the Walla Walla hear
ing on June 26 in which event addi-
tional testimony will be heard at
| Walla Walla and the hearing ad-
journed to Seattle or Tacoma, where
witnesses on behalf of the milling in

DEMOCRATS HAVE CHANCE
To Elect Next Congressman from the First
District.

Staff Correspondent Chattanooga News
Newport, Tenn, Aug. %.
/ met prominent democrat today
who said to me: "The chance to elect
democrat to congress in the First dis
trict is brighter now, than at any time
since Bob Taylor beat Pettibone, but
the party should put out a strong man
that can unite all factions of the party.
The Hon. John II. Caldwell, of Bristol,
is fine man and good democrat, but
the Patterson wing of the party will
not support him, and without their
support he can't be elected, and it
would be folly to nominate him.. .
"Who can unite the party and win a
yictory?" asked him.
He replied that he did not know, but
suggested several names, among them
Hon. S. j. kirkpatrick, Hon. Robert
Burrow, Hon. Cy II. Lyle, Hon. A. s.
Deaderick, Judge st. John and Alex
Shoun. The Sentinel published an ar
ticle on First district matters Saturday
in which it said Capt. Deaderick haC
stated he would not accept the nomina
ton. Capt. Deaderick told me today
he made no such statement, did not Sc,
the party that wrote the letter anC
would not know him if he met him.
Continuing, Capt. Deaderick SAID: g
am in a sense a candidate. l would
not go into a scramble for the nomina
tion, but should my party nominate M
