WIN THEIR CASE
Commission Rules That Railroads
Must Restore Old Rates.

Spokane and Pacific coast lumber
men won a great victory over the rail-
roads when the interstate commerce
commission at Washington, d. c.,
handed down a decision which orders
the railroads to restore rates that
were in effect prior to November /,
1907, on shipments from Coast points
to a large part of the eastern markets.
In another decision the court orders
the railroads to make rates on lumber
shipped from the Spokane country
that will be lower than the Coast
rates.
The railroads last November ad-
vanced lumber rates from 20 to 25 per
cent The lumbermen resisted the adj
vance and most of them closed down
their mills in protest.
