WOULD GIVE CITY
BETTER SERVICE
But at Present Canadian Pacific Is
Unable to Do Anything More
Than be Willing.

G. M. Jackson, travelling passenger
agent for the Canadian Pacific rail-
way company, who is in the city look
ing after business affairs for his
road, said to a Statesman reporter
this afternoon:
Our company has long had its
eye on Walla Walla and has been en-
deavoring to give this city something
better in the way of transportation
facilities. AS yet we have been un-
able to make any traffic arrange
ments whereby We can enter the city
but we are getting nearer all the time.
Beginning May 2, the Canadian
train right through from st. Paul to
Portland using the O. r. & n. tracks
from Spokane. This will give Walla
Wialla, through it's branch connections
a much better service east and the
traffic agreement whereby one can
purchase a ticket east via Spokane
from any o. R. & n. station at equal
rates will continue in effect

known as the o-Spokane- Portland

matter to his assistant attorney gem
eral. George A. Lee, who reported it
meritorious. Thompson was then
given his release by the governor.
Thompson's case is a pathetic one,
as nothing criminal can be found in
the life of the man previous to the
robbery which he committed. A care
ful inquiry into his past life shows
that he has always been honest in his
dealings. straightforward and indus
trious to provide for his family.
1t is asserted by all who knew him
that it was his worry over the condi-
tion of his wife and 5-year-old son,
his inability to get work and his own
weakened physical condition that led
him to commit the crime for which he
was sentenced. His straightforward
manner of confessing his guilt, and
his honesty with the authorities un-
doubtedly had much to do in securing
leniency on the part of the governor
and assistant state attorney general.
Thompson says in his petition: Il
think that / can truthfully say that l
did every reasonable thing to obtain
work at this time, and although 1 was
unable to get work on account of my
eyes, my wife and 1 endeavored to get
work for her, so that she might have
a place for herself and our child, bu,
our efforts resulted in failure"
Thompson has been confined in the
state penal institution since February.
His wife and 5-year-old son are now
in Astoria, Oregon.

Walla Walla Asks for New
Freight Rates on
0. r. & N.
MATTER DISCUSSED
AT RECENT LUNCH
AS soon as Spokane Case Is
Settled, Garden City
Comes.

1t is strongly intimated that the visit
of General Freight Agent r. B. Miller
of the o. r. e. N. company to Walla
Walla this week was in the interests of
a lower freight rate on the Hartman
lines. However, those who attended
the luncheon, at which Mr.. Miller con-
ferred with members of the transpor-
tatiOn committee of the Commercial
club, say the conference was almost
wholly for the consideration of ways
and means for the betterment of the
Garden City service, and that freight
rates entered but little into the dis
cussion.
The announcement recently made in
Portland that the Hartman lines ex-
pected to withdraw entirely from han
ding freight business from Chicago and
st. Paul to Spokane, has been strenu-
ously denied by the district freight
agent who recently returned to the
I Falls City following a visit to Portland.
The report is that the Hartman
lines because of the considerably great
er distance than the Hill line between
points mentioned and the Spokane ter
mfnal could not afford to make the
rate decided upon by the interstate
commerce commission.
.The o. r. & n will continue to
handle freight into Spokane" says the
agent there, 'and will meet the rate
which the northern lines probably will
put into effect The contention is
based on the mileage, which is so much
greater over the Hartman lines than
the Hill roads. We wish to be al
lowed to meet the rates of the northern
lines and will do so. Should the de-
cision be made compulsory for the O.
R. & N it would establish basis of
rate making for the territory which is
outside of Spokane, which really is in
the Spokane jobbing district
"The mileage of the Hill roads from
St Paul is about 1900 and over the
Union Pacific the distance is about
$500 miles. For the Hill roads the
rate would be based on their 1900 miles
and on our lines the rate would neces-
sarily have to be based on 2300 miles.
Walla Walla, for instance, being about
200 miles nearer st. Paul than Spo-
kane over the o. r. & n. and Union
Pacific, would have a right to demand
a less rate than Spokane. This would
mean that Walla Walla could cut into
Spokane's jobbing territory consiAer-
ably.
I'm fact, Walla Walla is now ask
ing for a new and lesser freight rate
Mr. Miller met with the jobbing in
terests to hear their requests, and also
conferred with the interstate commerce

Hill Is Rusv

MARSHFIELD Ore, April 1O.-Re-
cent real estate transfers in this vicin
ity Indicate that Hill interests are
quietly securing a right-of- way for a
railroad in the Coss Bay country
Lately the mill company at Coquille
has been granted several franchises
one for the construction Of an electric
railway. AS Coquille is to small for an
electric road, it is thought it will simp
ly be a link of the Hill line. 1t is
believed that applicants for electric
railway franchises along the water
front at Washfield represent Hill. 1t
is known that Hill engineers have
been in Coos Bay several times
