PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS
BEFORE COMMISSION

The Railroad Commission received
several complaints this morning from
different parts of the state. DR..
Thomas w. Ross, of Astoria, COM
plains that the train service on the
A. & G. railroad is defective.
The residents of Eisenhower, lit
tie place in Washington county, have
complained to the Railroad Commits
sion against the Southern Pacific
Company for not installing at least
a spur at Eisenhower, to accommo-
date the shippers of fruit and other
farming produce. In letter written
to the commission, 1t is claimed, and
the petition was attached, that the
s. p. Co. turned down a petition
signed by all the people in the vi
cinity of Edenbower for a station or
spur.
The Salem Fruit Union has COM
planned about the freight service on
fruits from this city to Seattle. In
letter received this morning from
g. L. Dick, manager of the Fruit
Union, it Is stated that It (the Fruit
Union) has several claims against
the railroad companies for fruit
which has been destroyed or badly
damaged when unloaded at Seattle.
Mr.. Dick writes that such fruits as
loganberries, raspberries and cur
rants have arrived In very dam
aged condition, and asks the COM
mi sion to look into the matter.
The matter Of the reduction OF
rates asked for by the Chamber of
Commerce, of Portland, over the o.
II. g. n. lines is again revived by the
transportation company In a plea OF
abatement of further action on the
part of the commission regarding the
rates. Some time ago the Chamber
Of Commerce took action against the
o. II. g. N. Company to reduce the
rates, but the railroad company was
sustained In the United States courts
when the matter was brought into
the courts by the Railroad Commits
sion, and the Chamber of Commerce
again attempted to obtain a still low
or rate The railroad company con-
tends in their plea OF abatement that
the commission would be in contempt
of court should they try 20 enforce
an order calling for lower rates, as
the higher courts have once enjoined
them from demanding any reduction
in the rates.
