COMMISSION
HEARS EVIDENCE ON RATES

Spokane, Sept S6.-The Interstate
Commerce commission is hearing new
evidence to show that rates on va
rious commodities wnere there is no
water competition are much higher
at Spokane than on. the coast. The
window glass rate is more than the
cost of the glass Freight Traffic Di-
rector Woodwork of the Northern
Pacific claimed he gave a lower rate
on iron furniture to Portland because
there is large factory in Portland.
The coast rate granted on many
things is lower than to inland Ore

JURY IN MORSE
HORSE STEALING CASE :

The jury has finally been selected
and the trial of the Morse horsesteal-
ing case is now in full swing. Three
witnesses for the prosecution have
been examined so far today and the
trial is progressing even more smooth
ly and rapidly than had been anti
cipated.
The first witness called was win
Jameson of Weston, owner of one of
the horses alleged to have been stolen.
He simply told of losing the horse
and of finding it in the Morse pas
lure, many miles from the range on
which it was accustomed to run.
G. w. Mulkey who has been riding
for j. f. Thomas, another one of the
complaining witnesses, was the sec
ond witness and his testimony was
practically the same as the preceding
witness.
The next man to take the witness
stand was j. NJ. Sullins, forest ranger
for the Wenaha National Forest. His
testimony was relative to the stock
which used the reserve and was to the
effect that the animals alleged to have
been stolen were accustomed to use
that range while the horses owned by
the men accused of stealing did not
range in the forest reserve. 1t will be |
that the plea of the de-
PENDANTS is that the animals alleged |
to have been stolen were with the
horses they were bringing out and that |
they could not separate them.
Roy Moss, another forest ranger in
the same reserve, was to be the next !
witness called and it is understood
hat his testimony is to coincide with
that of Sullins.

special colonist rates now on. But
in a short time the special rates will
be off and the A-Y.-P. traffic will be
over, Then it will be possible for the
road to give a better passenger serv-
ice than at present and a better serv-
ice there will be. II is estimated that
the improved service can be started
as early as October 20
Though he did not state that the
Portland-Pendleton passenger VIII be
re-established Mr.. Scott declared
that the new service will be entirely
satisfactory to the people Of this city

INVOLVING DESERT LAND ENTRY

Pruitt, last spring, testimony adverse
to Judge Bean was given by j. H.

Of the same kind are to arrive from
the Baldwin works within the next
week. The new locomotives are con-
sidered to be the best machines of
their class that have ever been turned
out and they are designed especially
for high speed. The locomotive engi-
neers who inspected the machines in
the yards yesterday are profuse in
their praise Of the construction and
general appearance Of the new en-
gines.. The bringing of six additional
passenger engines and especially those
capable of very high rate of speed,
carries its own significance. It means
the expectation of a permanent in
crease in the passenger business.

Considering the circumstances sur
rounding the fair this year the at
tendance thus far has been most
gratifying. The attendance in the
evenings thus far has been fully
equal to that of last year, when all
previous records were broken. How /
ever the afternoon admissions have !
fallen off to some extent. This has |
been true at all the other fairs of this .
class held this year and the cause is
attributed mainly to the .A,-Y.-P. ex-
position. In this county the fact that |
the county has suffered two dry sea-
sons in succession has likewise affect
ed the attendance to some extent.
However, the fact that the fair has
been held upon a larger scale than
ever in the past has served to make
up for the adverse conditions.
Suggestions Desired.
