W.P. MAY CHOP
RATES QUICK

Railroad men are of the opinion
! that Nevada, Utah and other Western
states may be granted some relief III
freight rates even before the Inter
state Commerce Commission takes &C
| ton. report has been current that
ever since the rate hearing that When
| the Western Pacific opens through to
the coast this fall gorge Gould will
make a sweeping reduction OF freight
rates, installing a tariff sheet based
on the number of miles the commodi-
ties are hauled rather than upon wa
ter competition. says the SAT- Lake
.iera d-Repubican.
This Sheet it is predicted will give
a lower rate to Utah than to Calttor-
MIA a lower rate to Colorado than to
Utah. The principle of mileage will
be the sole basis for the rate charg
ed, except Of course, higher charges
will be made for hauling some kinds
OF goods than others.
Frank b. kindeli, a brother of the
noted George B. kindell OF Denver,
was in Salt Lake recently and said ie
had had letter from Denver rate
expert, notifying him to expect whole
sale reductions in freight rates. The
letter did not specify from what cause
the reduction will come, but Frank
Kindell believes the Western Pacific
will be The principal factor.
The reason railroad men are inclin-
ed TO pat faith in the report is be
tinctiVely Gould corporation, has
just announced that it would handle
Wells rargO consignments from Glen
wood west on the Denver & Rio
Grande and Western Pacific. It is
known that a general alteration Of
the express tariff is now being made
and it is believed these charges Will
include reductions.
If express rates are reduced il is
d moral certainty freight rates will
follow, said railroad man Satur-
day. For years Gould has been act
ing independently when ever he could
and when mis- Western Pacific is COM
pleted he will have a route from coast
TO coast, and it means he can do
as he pleaseS. Heretofore the Denver
u Rio Grande has had to maintain
amicable relations with the Oregon
Short Line, because no freight or pas
senger traffic originated at its Ogden
terminal, nor could Gould route any
traffic to the coast without using the
Hartman lines. | would not be sur
prlsed to see slaughter OF rates
when the Western Pacific opens.
