SIOUX CITY LUMBER
RATE CASE IS HEARD

Complaining that the railroad rates
on lumber from the south to Sioux City
are unjust because they are cents per
100 pounds higher than the omaha rates,
George 4. Bell, commissioner Of the
Sioux City Commercial club. appeared be-
fore Examiner ]. S. Burchmore OF the
Interstate Commerce commission Satur-
day morning in the United States circuit
court room ana testified in favor OF
lower charges.
The hearing began at o'clock and the
greater part of the morning was con-
sumed In the taking OF Mr.. Bells evil
dence. Mr.. Bell stated that although
Sioux City is considerably farther north
than Omaha the distance is not so great
that cents per hundred pounds more
than the Omaha rate should be charged
for carrying. The contention " the rail-
roads is that the distance between Sioux
City and Omaha is 100 miles and that
an extra 8 cents for carrying lumber that
distance is not exorbitant.
A recess was taken at 1 o'clock, after
which tho hearing was resumed. No de-
cision in the matter will be made for
several weeks. for as soon as the hearing
Is completed the case win trans
ferred either to Sioux City or to Chi
cRgo for further investigation.

Saturday to take up the appeal Of Cald-

I.atenseTs refusal TO accept lot of vault
doors which are not up to specifications.
One Of the combine thinks he still has
chance for reelection. It's q delicate
chance and the combine didn't want to
jur 1t by turning down Latenser to please
the general contractors.
County Commissioner Elsasser. who
was supposed TO have been completely
gagged until after election, bit his gag
in two and demanded immediate action
sustaining Mr.. Latenser. Chairman Bed
ford referred the matter to the committee
of the whole and told Mr.. Elsasser that
was the best thing to do. I'VE can take
II up there and find out about it," said
Mr.. Bedford. 81 thought we knew all
about it," persisted Mr.. Elsasser. "Well,
we'd better take it up in committee"
