ORDERS LOWERING OF FREIGHT
RATES FROM EAST TO WEST
Interstate Commerce Commission
Makes Sweeping Ruling In the
Spokane Reno Pacific
Coast Cases

Washington. July 24.-In what
are known as the Spokane Reno-Pa-
cific coast cases, the Interstate com
merce commission today ordered
material reduction In freight rates
from the east to points between
Denver and the western terminals
of the transcontinental railroads.
For many years the railroads
have exacted from shippers 10
intermediate points. such as Spo-
kane and Reno. higher rates ON
eastern freights than were charged
for the much longer hauls to
Seattle. San Francisco and other
Pacific coast points.
The theory has been that the
railroads must meet water compe-
tition to the Pacific coast. The
higher rates to intermediate points.
arbitrarily fixed, have been de-
Tended by a comparison with the
coast rates. plus the theoretical
back-haul from the coast to the
inland stations along the line.
The commission recognizes the
right OF u railroad to meet water
competition To Pacific coast points.
but practically wipes out the back
haul rates to inter-Rocky noun
tain territory.
1t lays down what 1t considers
would be fair and just rates To var
ious freight zones In the West and
gives the railroads until Oct. 15
to adjust their tariffs accordingly.
The commission also Lays down
the important principle that here
after viii not be permitted to fix
arbitrary market limits aud that
hereafter commercial conditions
rather than the Will OF railway
traffic managers shall control the
rates on transcontinental transpOr-
tation.
The decisions are OF far-reach-
ing Importance. They affect di-
Tecuy all freight rates between
the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific
coast. Particularly they affect
the rates In the territory lying be-
tween Denver and Pacific coast
points. Hereafter the rates paid
by shippers will be governed by a
strict Interpretation OF the long
and short haul clause.
That the ruling handed down
yesterday in Washington by the
Interstate commerce commission In
the Spokane-Reno freight rate
cases Is SO far-reaching as to
mean a revolution In the rates
west OF the Missouri river Is the
opinion of three OF Denver's best
informed business men as 10 the

Workman LOSES
MONEY IN A BANK
But It's Sand One and He Is
Taught Lesson Pending It's
cstoration.
FOUND BY HIS EMPLOYER
Ira f. Brown. Attache of Gravel
Company. Drops Pouch Con
tanning $3.50.

After having spent three days ana
three nights without a wink of sleep
for worry because of the loss Of what
was to him a fortune, Ira e. Brown, an
employee of the Rock Island Sand &
Gravel company. has been restored az
last to his former state of mind, and
probably feels much better now than
ever before. Last week, Thursday to
be exact. while at work he lost 5000.
which he had been carrying around in
a tobacco pouch in his pocket. When
he discovered his loss he became fran
tic and searched madly in every mood
and corner that he could think of. Fin.
ally, despairing of ever finding the
money, he confided his loss to several
friends. but they put little credence in
HIS story.
The amount seemed a fabulous sum
to Brown, and represented months of
the hardest kind of labor. He had al
most given up to despair when his
money was restored to him.
MIR. GALL ACROSS ROLL.
And this is how il came about. Fred
G. Gall, who is manager of the con
Germ for which Brown works, was
walking along the levee near Seven
teenth street Thursday when he kick
ed an object. He picked Il up and see
ing that it was a tobacco pouch, was
about to throw it away He thought
better of the move. and opened the
pouch. To say that its contents sur
prised him is putting it mildly.
Thursday evening Mr.. Gall scanned
the want ads of the various tri-city
papers, but saw no announcement re-
referring to the money Sunday in
conversation with one of his men he
was asked if he had heard of Browns
misfortune He had not and wanted
TO know if he had been injured. Worse
than that he was told; he had lost all
of his money. Upon inquiry, Mr.. Gall
found that the amount which Brown
had lost correspondent with that ne
had found. He searched for Brown
and found him in utter detection. He
questioned the man and when hc
! learned that the description OF the lost
property tailed with the amount he
found he returned the wallet to the
righful owner.
| WANTED TO DIVIDE UP.
Brown was for giving Mr.. Gall OF
! least half Of it as an expression of
gratitude for the honesty in returning
the money, but Mr.. Gall would have
none of it. The incident has proven
to Brown that the bank is the safest
place to deposit money.
