LUMBERMEN'S CASE is HEARD
Interstate Commerce Commission to
Fix Freight Rates.
Pacific Coast Men Claim Hill and
Hartman Roads Are Running
Their Business

Hearing in the cases Of the Pacific
! Coast lumbermen against the Hin and
! Hartman railroads. on the question OF
Increased rates for the shipment OF forest
products. was begun here yesterday be-
| fore the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion.
The four cases filed by as many lum-
bermen's associations OF the Pacific States
against the railroads have been grouped
by the Commission and are being heard
! as one case
The point at issue is the proposed ad-
vance in the freight rates of forest prod
ucts shipped from Washington. Oregon.
California and Montana eastward 10
Mississippi River points, and contiguous
territory. The defendant railroads. sew
eral months ago. issued new tariff rates
on this class OF freight. raising the rate
about . per cent.
The lumbermen secured an injunction
from the courts OF Washington against
the enforcement OF the rate until the
question could be settled by hearing be-
fore the Commission in this city.
At the hearing yesterday there We're
three attorneys qualified to represent the
lumbermen-W. A Wimbish. Of Atlanta
Ga. for the Pacific Coast Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association, who has asso-
ciated with him w H. Abel, of Monte
sanO, Wash; J. y. Teal. Of Portland.
Ore, for the Oregon Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association, and George Dysart.
Of Centralia, Wash, for the Washington
Lumbermen's Association. The railroads
are represented by W. ". Cotton and
James d. Kerr, OF Portland: F. c. Dill
lard and Hale Holden. of Chicago: Her
rick q Christensen and J. A. Toohey, OF
this city.
The hearing yesterday was taken tlp
by the opening statements Of the attor-
neys and the examination of two wit
nesses.
Attorney J. n. Teal who is captain OF
tho lumbermen's forces. made an address
10 the commission. setting forth the COM
plant Of the lumber trade of the Pacific
Coast. He declared his side would show
that the increase in freight rates already
had paralyzed the lumber production of
the Northwest, and, If enforced. would
stop all lumber production in the three
States represented.
The railroad attorneys did not make an
extended statement c0ntentinS them
selves with entering a general denial Of
the allegations OF the complaint and waiv-
ing a detailed statement until the case
should be opened by the defense
A. c. Dixon. Of Eugene. Greg, was on
the stand most of the day
The point Of the testimony was that the
proposed increase in freight rates to East
ern points would amount TO about SO
thousand feet.
Mr. Dixon went deeply into the ques-
ton or rates 10 Eastern points and de-
scribed in detail the effect Of competition
with yellow pine at such points as Omaha.
Denver. Kansas City, and intermediate
points. He showed that there was little
profit TO the Northwestern lumberman
under the present freight rates. and that
shipments TO these points had all stopped
during the few days In which the ad-
vanced rate had been in force.
The hearing viii be continued to-day.
and will probably last week or more.

the President and Senator Fulton that
Bristol was 10 serve as district attorney
until the land fraud cases were COM
pleted, and then some one else would be
named for the place. Those cases are not
yet finished several important indict-
ments being yet untried. and Mr. Bris-
tolls removal was entirely unexpected by
the Oregon delegation. They are unable
to throw any light on the subject.
The removal is said to have grown out

ed Bristol to proceed. The latter, accord

up the Hall case at once, as the delay
had become public scandal There was
also an intimation, il is said, that unless
Mr.. Bristol made haste in the matter the
President would find some one who would
prosecute the case.
Details have not yet leaked out in re-
gard to Mr.. Bristors reply. but it IS pre-
sumed 20 have been rather spicy, and 20
