PASSES ARE SCARCE
NEW RAILROAD RATE
LAW NOW IN FORCE.
o. r.. & n. Conductors Puzzled Over
Complicated Provisions-Families
of Ministers and Army Officers
Cannot Ride on Interstate Passes
Hereafrer-Act Does Not Affect
Strictly State Business.

Conductors on the o. R. & N. are
now carrying their pockets full OF
special copies of the interstate COM
merce law containing the anti-pass
regulations and the crop of passes is
greatly reduced since the beginning
of the new year.
The regulations are very strict and
in many cases are not plain and con-
ductors are often puzzled to know
whether to recognize certain classes
of transportation. The law is being
rigidly enforced and the companies
have issued special bulletins in addi-
ton to the copies of the act which
have been sent out in large numbers.
Five classes of people are particu-
larly affected by the enforcement of
the interstate commerce law. Great
est OF all is the widespread class of
people comprising politicians and per-
sonal friends of railroad officials who
have been travelling more or less on
passes issued by the personal cour-
tesy of the good natured officials
aforesaid. This class of travellers will
hereafter pay cash fare.
Army officers are among the hard
est hit. Heretofore they have had
whatever they wanted from the rail-
roads, in form of transportation for
themselves and families. They must
pay full fare now.
The ministers themselves can con-
tinue to travel on half fare, but their
wives and families cannot go along
unless the cash price at full rates is
Forthcoming, and so far as learned
no dominic has had his salary raised
in order that the deficiency may be
made up in the travel fund. 1t seems
to be case of everybody stay at
home but father.
Officials of railroads may get tick
cts free on interchange between rail-
roads, for themselves or those entirely
dependent upon them. Employees of
a railroad, or their families, may
have free transportation, if the COM
pany so wills, between states.
However the rigid features of the
rate bill affect interstate traffic and
do not seriously interfere with strictly
state business.
Within the state of oregon the
free transportation question will re-
main about the same, excepting a
tendency on the part of the railroads
to restrict the issuance of free passes
and tickets to any who are not per-
sonally rendering valuable service of
some kind in the interest of the rail-
roads.

Whereas, The interstate commerce

Whereas, The commercial bodies

upon that occasion to protest against
the unjust discrimination made
against inland cities ana IN favor of

Whereas, Pendleton is vitality in
terested in the success of the effort
to remedy such transportation evils;
therefore, be It
Resolved, That the Pendleton Com
mercial association does hereby en-
dorse the action taken by the COM
mercial associations of Spokane and
other inland cities of the northwest,
in their attempt to cause a fair equal
ization of railroad freight rates, and
joins in the protest against the pres
ent determinations made against the
inland cities.
Hepburn Law Endorsed.
Whereas, Under railroad freight
tariffs now in force in the northwest
states, the large coast points are given
undue advantages over important
trade centers of the inland empire;
and
Whereas, Owing to the rates now
in force it is impossible TO build up
jobbing centers in the interior be-
cause of this discrimination; and
Whereas, The growth OF the inland
empire demands that every trade ad-
vantage be extended to its cities in
order that they may enter into direct
competition with terminal points;
therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That Pendletom CONNER
cial association hereby heartily in
dorses the efforts of Senator Hepburn
of Idaho to advance the interests of
the inland empire cities by securing
passage of bill in congress regulating
discriminating freight rates. And, be

Resolved, That copy of this reso-
luton be sent to the Oregon delega-
ton in congress and to Senator Hey

Gun Toter Captured.

a copper colored negro named
Smith, was caught Wednesday night
with a thirty-eight callibre revolver
upon his person, and was arrested
and placed in the city prison, from
which he was taken to Lake Charles
Thursday afternoon. Smith aroused
the enmity Of some OF the negroes of
Welsh a few weeks ago. by making
complaint against four of them for in
dulging in their national game, and
fearing they would beat him up some
night, he secured a gun which lead to
his predicament, 1t is probable that
he will get six months in the turpen-
tine camp, as the evidence seems to be
complete. This should be warning
to the rest of the young bucks of
Welsh who are given to carrying guns.
