two days. Persons seeing a waste box
on fire turn in AN alarm instead of pourt
ing a bucket of water on the blaze, thus
causing the department trouble and

Ron Reduced.

The state railway commission
on March 81 ended the most inn
portant session of its existence,
cutting freight rates in Oregon
from one-tenth to one-sixth of
the present first-class rates, and
all other freight rates according
ly. The basis OF the decision is
that all rates from Portland to
to points in eastern Oregon east
of The Dalles, shall be reduced q
portion of the excess above the
rate from Portland to The Dalles
which is 25 per cent on the first
class rate. For instance, the
rate from Portland to Umatilla
is s5 cents per 100. The new
rate is rs cents and all other
rates are cut in proportion.
