}. j. HILL A WITNESS.
ne Says Northscestern Roads
Hauled Lumber at a Loss.

"~shington, Dec. Thames J. IIill was the
pTiheipal witness to-day in the hearing before the
interstate Commerce Commission the complaints
Oh the washington and Oregon lumber associations
against The railroad lines of the North Paclfc
states with respect to advance in rates on lum-
Der ana forest products.
MI mn said that his attention attracted TO
lle SITUATION last summer. and on investigation he
louiio tnat the cost his road OF handling the
lurhber Traffic from the Northwest far greater
'han the revenue gained from The difficulty
was, In MS judgment, that the had TO be
hauied oy the railroads from eastern points 10
oregon and Washington practically empty. The
maui or substantially four thousand miles cost the
hhes apout sese. while the revenue a from the
Northwest to the points OF destination of the lum-
Der products was about 5000 This produced n
loss of $50 The situation was so serious
from the point Of view of the railroad lines, that
ii was necessary to take some action that would
remedy it. After consideration it was decided
increase the rates on lumber and lumber products
not with any idea of prohibiting the traffic in lum-
her from the Northwest, but merely protect the
interests of the railroads From his point of view
II was impossible for the carriers TO haul lumber
from the Northwest TO points in the East at the
former rates, and to obtain a fair and equitable
rate lumber the only reason the railroads
had for making advance their tariffs
At tho afternoon session Mr.. Hill was subjected
a rigid cross-eAamination by attorneys for the
complainants. He said that the expenses for main
tenance and operation of the Great Northern have
increased in the last year largely account OF
the increased wages which the company was
Obliged 10 pay to its employees. This fact, he said
inquired in the consideration of the rates lumber
shipments and of the reasons why the
advance had been made this time.
Asked 20 the relations between the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific, Mr.. Hill said
that they were not close they formerly were
in fact the roads were getting further and further
apart He said. however. that he was a stock
holder in both companies. and later explained that
"A considerable part of the stock OF the Burlington
road was owned by the Great Northern and North
Pacific.
Mr- Hill said that the matter OF his line
was left largely TO the traffic men, and he
familiar with them only in general way. He was
unable, therefore. to go into minute details
specting the rates. He gave brief history of the
operation Of the Great Northern. and said 1t
the desire of those who controlled the road to
make such rates would be compensatory. He
reiterated his conviction that the in force
prior TO November / lumber from the Pacific
Northwest to the Missouri transfer points
compensatory. and that, and that only was the
reason for the advance.

The time has been made shorter owing to the fact
that many of the assets which were not taken into

xalue of the surplus certificates has been improved
by reducing the minimum surplus OF the company
TO $4,000 thereby freeing several millions or

of a fraction of per cent from depositors having
