The following Is IL syllabus of the
opinion of the Interstate commerce
commission on the complaint of the
kallspcll Lumber company and others
against the Great Northern and other
railroads, in the matter of the rates
on lumber shipments from lumber
camps in Flathead county:
Inc Great Northern is ordered to
establish and maintain rates on lum-
per ana forest products from certain
points on it's line in Idaho and Mon
tana to points on the Pembina- Port
Arthur line. The Great Northern and
The Minneapolis, ST. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie lines are directed to maintain
through and joint rates on lumber and
forest products between points in
Idaho, Montana and North Dakota.
The petitioners claimed that these
rates We're in force prior to Novcm-
Der, 1907, but were cancelled then at
the instance of the Minneapolis, st.
Paul e Sault Ste. Marie road. The
petitioners are members of the Mon
tana Larch 4 Pine Manufacturers as
soclatton, with headquarters at kalis-
pei. This association embraces all the
manufacturers Of lumber and forest
products in Flathead county, their
mills being located on the main line
of the Great Northern or on the CO.
lumbla Falls branch, extending from
LakeVieW to Columbia Falls. The
mills are located in the eastern group
east of Leonia, Idaho. and the district
is generally known as the Kalispell
district Speaking of the decent rate,
tho commission says:
Up to 1906 it was difficult for mills
in the Kalispel district, which pro-
dhce mostly common grade lumber. to
obtain market under this Accent
rate, and an effort was made to have
the Great Northern establish lower
rate to stations on its line in North
where there was Il demand for
common grade lumber This effort
reduced, not only from the kaispell |
district, but from all tile lumber pro-
ducing sections in the eastern group |
Ry this reduction no new group was
however, and instead of
having one rate apply at Il differen-
tial lower than the Spokane group
from all the mills lying east of Spo-
kane, the city Of Kalispell, and places
proXimate thereto taking the same
rate, were accorded, on the average |
4 10-cent differential lower than Spo-
Kane to points in North Dakota. And |
The mills between Kalispell and the
graded upward IN amount toward the
tity of Spokane. where it remained 40
cents.
ION November |, 1907 the defendant
advanced its rates generally from all |
shese various groups. Then certain
Mills In the coast group and in the
spokane group filed complaints With
he commission attacking the adj
,ance.s
This case attacks the advance from
he kalisnell district, charging that
he differential between the l<ah,pell
district and the Spokane roun had
been destroyed, and the complaints
asked for Il differential under the Spo-
sane group of 8 cents per 100 pounds
