NOFOR1Y-CENT RATE The EAST RESUMING
SAYS B. S. GROSSCUP, NORTHERN
PACIFIC COUNSEL.
Story of agreement of Railroad to
Return to Old Rate During penden-
Cy of Appeal, is Indignantly De-
MED by The Roads Legal Repre-
sentative.

OLYMPIA, Feb. 15.-That the re-
ported conference between railroads
and lumbermen held in Seattle and
the agreement of the railroads to
permit lumber shipments at the old
Accent rate during the pendency of
the appeal, is largely false and with
out foundation, is the statement OF
b. S. Grosscup, general Western
counsel for the Northern Pacific, who
is in Olympia attending the hearing
before the railroad commission.
Mr.. Grosscup was reported to
have been present at the conference,
as was l.. c. Gilman, counsel for
the Great Northern railroad. Mr.
Grosscup denies having been there,
or. in fact, of knowing anything of
the reported agreement, and Mr..
Gilman was in Victoria at the time
the hearing is reported to have been
held.
The wires out of Olympia were
kept hot for few minutes yester-
day when the papers from down
Sound cities arrived, containing the
story of the meeting. Mr.. Grosscup
Immediately wired President Howard
Elliott of the Great Northern, at
st. Paul, Indignantly denying hay
ing participated in any such confer
ence or that any such shipping ar
rangement had been reached. There
has only been a slight change in the
situation, according to Mr.. Grosscup,
and this is that the lumbermen's as
sOciatiOn notified the railroads that
several of the mills that have been
under the $25O,O0O bond for ship
ping under theold rate pending the
settlement of the case. had with
drawn from the arrangements and
had drawn down their bond and
were not entitled to ship under the
old rate.

ter but is detrimental to all others
engaged in his line, and ultimately
to the buyers who reap the present
benefit.
To Illustrate this matter let us
suppose the parties are in the gro
Gerry instead of the newspaper busi-
ness That their three groceries are
the only establishments in the city.
and that for some reason the stores
or Humbarger and Carney are get
ting the bulk of the trade. Clark, to
bolster up failing business, offers
sugar--that costs him $5 a sack
for $3.50 Fer sack delivered. His
two competitors are up against it,
and must either meet his cut at q
loss of $3.50 per sack-which meth
od might continue for some time-or
take the bull by the horns and stop
the matter right there by advertising
sugar free of charge until Clark
stopped his cutting. The latter
course, while drastic would be the
cheapest and good business would
advise its adoption. This is exactly
the course adopted by the Herald in
1897 and by it and the Bulletin at
this time.
The Post in its last issue indicates
that it is already firing of it's Job
and says it will voluntarily surren-
der its contract and urge the council
to give 1T to the other papers-if the
Bulletin and Herald will return the
amounts stolen CD in the past three
years in legal printing. AS this pa
per has done none of the city busi-
ness in that time and the Bulletin
scarcely received display rates for it.,
Heney and Burns would have diff
Guilty in discovering any steal.
But nobody wants the contract
taken from the Post. On the con-
trary, we want that paper held to
it's losing contract, in the hopeful
expectation tnat it's experience will
cure it Of all desire to repeat this
offense against all rules of business.
Some members of the council seem
to think that the offer made at their
last meeting aimed to take the con-
tract from the Post. Nothing is fur
ther from the fact. The Herald and
Bulletin are going to print all city
legal notices as news matter-sum-
married. so as to be more brief and
intelligible to the average reader
and simply asked the courtesy of be-
ing provided with copies of all no.
tices sent out for publication, and we
have no doubt the request will be
granted, but they want that Post
contract filled to the letter.

REPORTS SHOW MILLS and FAC.
TORIES STARTING UP.
The Improvement is Marked. The
Number OF Unemployed is DeCreas
ing, and the Fear of Continued
Hard Times is Being Rapidly Dis
Sipated.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-That the ma
tion is again on the high road to
prosperity was shown today by re-
ports from all sections of the coun-
try. In some branches prosperity in
, full measure has been recorded and
other lines show improvement that
promises satisfactory records at the
close of the year.
Following the end of the strin-
gency in money comes Improvement
in collections and corresponding fac
iiity of barter and sale. With more
factories resuming operations every
day the number of unemployed is de-
creasing and it is believed that be-
fore long an idle mill will be an ex-
ception.
Chicago wholesalers report coun-
try merchants coming in with their
spring orders in greater numbers
than year ago. In almost every
case they say their stocks are low,
and must be replenished Immediate
ly.
The steel business, recognized as
the barometer of trade in general
has shown marked improvement
within the last few weeks. Such ar
ticles as wire and nails, which get
to the general public quicker than
other products, are in great demand,
and railroads are coming into the
market for large quantities of sup
plies.
Building material is in better de-
mand, not only steel, but other COM
modities.
Even the luXuries of life where
business felt the depression most,
are in great demand.
Reports received today from Chi
cago merchants and from other cities
were all characterized by the same
hopeful tone.
The general belief is that all dan
ger of period of hard times has dis
appeared.
