ON PRIVILEGE

Until the superior court settles
the matter of the right of the Pa
cific Transfer Co. to special solicit
ing privileges with the Great North
ern, the police will not attempt to
arrest transfer company's agents
again. Police Chief Rice has filed
an order to that effect.
1t is stated that the Pacific
Transfer Co. pays the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific $1,000 a
year for the soliciting privilege. A
city ordinance prohibits soliciting
within a certain Inc of the de-
pots and Agent Stllwell, of the
transfer company, was arrested for
soliciting in the Great Northern de-
pot. He appealed from justice

This leaves the Pacific company
