Far Reaching Decisions Were
Handed Down Today Z
BY INTERSTATE COMMISSION
THE FAMOUS AND LONG STAND
ING CASES BROUGHT BY CITY
OF SPOKANE AGAINST "PULL.
BACK" RATES ON GOODS SHIP.
PED FROM EAST DECIDED.

Washington, June 29. - Decisions
were handed down today by the
Interstate commerce commission,
country wide IN Importance. They ar
feet freight rates. both class and com
modify, on all trans-continental lines
operating between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts.
Decisions are in what popularity are
known as the Pacific coast cases,
heard last autumn by the commission
on its six weeks trip to the Pacific
coast and intermountain territories.
In every instance reductions in the
existing rates complained of were made
and in some instances they amounted
to nearly so per cent. The commission
found through it's inquiry a remark
able rate situation existing on the Pa
cific coast and even a more remark
able one in intermountain territory.
This is notably true of the rates to and
from Spokane, Wash, and Reno, New.
The Spokane rate case has been be-
fore the commission in one form or
another for several years. The ship
pers of that city complained insistentlv
of the rates charged by the railroad on
freight classes and commodities from
eastern points of origin because they
were required to pay Pacific coast
terminal rates plus the local rates
back to Spokane from the terminals.
although the freight was discharged at
Spokane by the railroads on the west
era trip ~ az ,ss. ~
substantially the same state Of facts
existed at Reno. and other Nevada
points which had to pay rates to San
Francisco and return.
These local rates, in most instances
amounted to two-fifths or more of the
entire rate from the eastern points
of origin to the Pacific coast terminals.
No complaint was made in any of the
cases of rates of the eastern lines be-
tween Atlantic points and the Missis-
sippi river. The transfers and all of
reductions ordered by the commission
affected the rates from the Mississippi
river and Missouri river. transfer
points to Pacific coast terminals and
intermountain territorial points.
Not Effective at Once.
The rates established for the future
are materially lower, approximately 20
per cent on both classes and commodi-
ties, but they will not be effective i'm

ALMOST BRUTAL.

Bismarck Tribune: The libel
cases against Plumley and Brewer
OF The Forum, which were set for
the term of district court at
Towner county, have gone over
until the winter term of court.
Under the circumstances, this is
merciful. In this unusual weather
to incarcerate Plumley and Brewer
in jail, or in the state penitenti-
airy, would be nothing less than
brutal.

Fargo in common Nth every munich
pality in North Dakota is fighting the
second primary battle in her history.
That the battle is a decidedly tame
encounter is indicated by the fact that
at o'clock, an hour conceded by all
when thirds of the vote should be
cast, there had been polIed in Fargo
but very little over one third of the
number of votes cast for governor two
years ago.
The election is probably the quietest
ever held in Fargo, barring possibly
some municipal elections. The polls
opened at O'Clock and until IL O'clock
the voting was exceptionally light.
Around the noon hour the polling
places showed signs of life. It is pre-
dicted that not over 100 votes will
be cast when the polls close at O'Clock.
OF the 994 votes cast to / o'clock, but
LOT were democratic and so far as
could be learned the vote cast by a
woman in the first precinct of the

Report From Bismarck.
Bismarck N. D., June 29.-The big
feature of the primary election today
is the little interest taken by the voters.

county fight Is getting out about two
thirds of the vote, reports from the
rural districts are to the effect that less
than half the voters will turn out
Most of the state officers are out Of
the city and working in various places,
mostly their home towns
None of the leaders Of either fac
tion of the republican party are in the
city today, but both sides are claim
ing to be confident of victory.
The democrats of the state are max
ing the greatest efforts to get out their
voters. as there is a fear that there
will not be votes enough cast to get
their candidates names on the ticket
this fall. This fear is even expressed
In the case Of Governor Burke, who
is a candidate and the only one on the
democratic ticket for denomination as
governor.
1t will be necessary for the demo-
Gratis to get vote of 5000 out in order
to make the fall ticket. Democrats
during the past few days have used
thousands of inches of display adver-
tinsing in republican papers, urging
their people to get out and call for
the democratic ballots.
