Portland. counsel for the CONNER
cial bureau which brought suits
against the trans-continentaI rail-
roads. last night at a meeting Of the
bureau. Ever since the organIza-
tlon OF the transportation bureau OF
the Seattle chamber OF commerce
this has been a fundamental question
of our controversy with the trans
continental railroads" he continued.
Our manufactures aad jobbers
must sell goods as far east as Is pos
sible to the point where the freight
rates meet, and that Is why the suits
were brought against the transcon-
tinental roads before the interstate
commerce commission by the state
railroad commission, which was In :
stituted by the transportation bu-
reau OF several Pacific coast cities.
In discussing the famous Spokane
rate case he showed how II the Spok-
ane zone rates became effective the
distributing territories OF the coast
cities would be more and more con-
centrated until finally they would be
pushed into the Pacific ocean.

TAX DODGERS ARE DEFEATED

wealth" Prosecuting Attorney
Potts maintained throughout that
the case could lay claim to no legal
foundation, and so far his opinion
has been vindlcated. He demurred
to the complaint on the ground that
IL did not constitute a cause or ac-
tion. He took the position that the
statute providing that the delin-
quent tax list must be published on
or before the fourth Monday In May
was but OF directory character, and
that 1t mattered not whether 1t was
complied with so long as the manda-
tory part providing that the sale OF
property for the delinquent taxes
must not be held more than SO days
nor less than AZ days from the time
that the list was published, was COM
piled with. He showed where this
was complied with, and cited author
ity after authority to sustain his po-
sition, and his contention was up
held by Judge Dunn. There is some
talk OF an appeal to a higher court,
but 1t is not given serious considera-
ton as it is not believed that it will
be prosecuted, but that 1t Is but an
announcement made for effect.
When the case was originally
started the Idaho Mercantile com
pany was one Of the plaintiffs, but It
from the case before the
last hearing, and paid its taxes when
they became due. during the winter,
when the case was up for it's first
hearing. and the company is nov

SEATTLE. Wash, July 1O.-Major
General J. Franklin Bell, chief OF
stan OF the United States army, is in
Seattle en- route to Alaska. where he
will inspect the six military posts in
the territory. Speaking of the sus-
pension OF work on the improvements
to the coast defenses on the Pacific
coast. General Bell said:
The cessation of improvement
work at these forts is a mere tempo
rary suspension and Is not an aban-
donment. The coast defense COM
mittee. known as the Taft board,
mapped out an elaborate program for
improving these forts and installing
thoroughly modern equipment and
this program will ultimately be car
ried out to the letter. The estimates
for this year were cut down because
of the inadequacy OF the appropria-
ton. Ii Is uncertain what revenue
would be raised under the new tariff.
and for that reason IL was decided 10
suspend Improvements on coast de-
Tense until the requisite appropriation
could be available"
