cents: from Eugene to Portland from
S1.OO to so cents; from Roseburg to

tigaion by the railroad commission

neer days, when it began business

gone into and its old accounts and

include what are known as "Merchan-
disc rates" and General speciar'
rates
The Merchandise" rates about 15.-
ooo in number are all specified and
set out in order, but the General
special' rates are to be ascertained
by a scale which is set forth in and
made a part Of the order.
While the order applies directly only
to merchandise" and general spe-
riaP' rates ii affects indirectly most of
the company's rates. This is due to
the fact that most Of all other express
rates are based on "merchandise"
rates of the company, and as these
have been cut by the commission it
will result in a reduction of many oth-
or rates.
In Line With Policy.
The reduction Of the Wells Fargo
rates made public yesterday is in line
with the policy adopted by the COM
mission when the order was made last
fall reducing the rates Of the Pacific
Express company. which affected the
rates TO all points on the oregon Rail-
way &Navigation companys lines. If
the new Wells Fargo rates are allow
ed to go into effect without contest
as did the ruductions Of the Pacific
Express company, the rates all over
the state will be about uniform.
Unless the commission is enjoined
from enforcing its order made yes
terday the new rates viii go into eff
feet 20 days after the order has been
served upon the express or railroad
company affected by the order.
