CLASS RATES Cut
Important Decision by Inter-
state Commission
RULING IN SPOKANE CASE
Revolution in TransCOntinentaI
Tariffs May Result.

Washington, March 2.-In what is
known as the Spokane rate case, the
case of the city of Spokane, Wash,
against the Northern Pacific Railway
company and others, the interstate
commerce commission decided the
two points in the complaint filed by
the city Of Spokane against the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern and
che Union Pacific, which were:
First-That the rates from Eastern
destinations to Spokane were higher
than to Seattle, more distant point.
Second-That the rates to Spokane
were Inherently unreasonable.
On the first point defendants main
tanned that water competition COM
PEELED them to charge the rates in ef-
feet at Seattle and that therefore they
might charge a higher rate to Spo-
kane without violating the long and
short haul provision or without dis
eliminating against Spokane under
the law.
The commission sustains the claim
of the defendants in this respect and
holds that the rates to Spokane, al
though higher than to Seattle, are not
unlawful.
On the second point the commission
sustains the claim of the petitioner
and holds that the rates from Eastern
destinations to Spokane are unjust
and unreasonable. 1t reduces class
rates from st. Paul to Spokane 162s
per cent and makes substantially the
same reduction from Chicago to Spo-
kare Rates east of Chicago are not
dealt with.
The decision, if applied in principle
to all commodities and to all interior
points, must work a revolution in
rates from Eastern points of origin to
all interior transcontinental territory
and in that view it is one Of the most
farreaching decisions ever rendered
by the commission.

Young Smith
Beats Black
In Golf Match
Wins First Half of Great Con-
fest by His Superiority in
Approaching
BY GRANT SMITH

The first half of the match between
James Black of the Preside golf club
and Macdonald Smith of the Claremont
country club, two of the cleverest pro-
fessionals on the coast, resulted in
victory for the latter. At the end of
the SO holes Smith was 8 up.
1t was great match and the course
was fairly alive with spectators. Black
encouraged his hackers by leading
after the first IS holes by / up. He
held his own going out in the after
noon and they were even after the
thirty-first hole. After this Smith
forged ahead. winning three out of the
last FIVE holes and having the other
two.
Smiths medal play score in the
morning was II and Blacks rs. In
in 73 and Black in 70. The record for
the course is IL
The contestants were evenly matched
on the green, both putting in grand
style. Neither had an advantage in
driving, but the advantage was with
Smith in approaching. 1t was expect
ed that Black would outdrive his oppo-
nent, but the young expert from across
the bay easily held his own.
When Black took the eighteenth
hole in the forenoon and broke the
deadlock his hackers had hope that he
would increase his lead in the after
noon After the first nine holes in the
afternoon it was apparent that Smith
would at least hold his own and the
local man would be lucky to finish
/ up.
The first two holes in the afternoon
were halved and Smith won the next
two, giving him lead of l up. Black
took the next hole, putting them on
even terms once more
The sixth hole was halved and the
seventh and eighth went to Black. Civ
ing him lead of 2 up. Things looked
rosy for the local man at this stage of
the game, but the hope of the local
contingent was dashed when three of
the next five holes were halved and
the other two went to Smith. With
only five holes to go and the score
out of the first half with anything like
a substantial lead did not look good
Smith put up grand finish, winning
three out of the last five holes and
the other two being halved. Black
got into difficulties toward the close
of the match and fell down in his
approaching.
Going into the second half of the
contest with lead of and playing
on his home course it looks almost a
certainty that Smith will prove the
ultimate winner. The second So holes
will be played next Sunday at Clare
mont. Smith is only 10 years old, but
already has outdistanced his four
brothers, who are all crack profess
SIGNALS.
