The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-12-30

After 30 weeks the state rail-
road commission has seen fit to
announce that the Great North
ern must reduce it's rates on this
line, and the railroad has been so
notified, according to the COM
mission; since the railroad has
not listened to the voice of our
people, we will see whether it
will also disregard the commits
sion's order.
Meanwhile we are paying the
high rates, and claims for dam
ages by shippers in this county
are being held up, lost or refus-
ed.
In the past, according to re-
ports from shippers, it has been
almost impossible to collect any
damages or overcharges from
the railroad. 1t has been sug-
gested that, even though we
eventually get lower rates, the
shippers unite in the practice of
shipping over other lines until
the Great Northern sees fit to
pay some attention to just claims
from Stevens county merchants
and shippers. Pressure will do
things. Spokane wholesalers
use pressure on the railroads and
get quick attention thereby.
Stevens county has been asleep
long enough. It is time to AVA
ken and demand consideration
from the Great Northern.
The Examiner has been COM
piling a list of the claims refused
by the Great Northern in this
county, and will be glad to add
to the list any others which may
be sent in. A publication of the
list every week until the road
pays them might help some.

Dec. 16. 1911.-Hon. !. c. Lawrence:
Regarding your candidacy for the
hernatorial nomination, my readers
will be pleased to receive a little infor-
nation from you regarding your atti-
tude toward Stevens county and north
east Washington.
You may remember that June 5th I
appeared before your commission ask
ing just rates for this section, not a
favor, but a right to live under the
same rates afforded otler sections
equally distant from Spokane. After
six months we have no relief. and !
have heard of no date set for relief.
Now viii you kindly let us know
where rests the blame. Have you at
all times since the hearing been in
favor of and advocated in the commits
sion an immediate order Of just rates
for this section: If you have, we will
'e glad to learn who has been our
friend, and it will show that you were
opposed hy the other two commission
ers, one of whom is now Diseased.
If you have not urged an Immediate
order of justice to this county. I de-
sire to know 1t that | may handle your
candidacy properly. The sentiment
here is that the order should have been
made within two months after the
tearing. This county has paid out
thousands Of dollars in over-rates since
the hearing, and some of the members
of the commission are to blame. VIII

This discrimination against COL
vile shows that the Great North
ern and it's grating tributary
the S. F. & N. have no time for
Colville or for Colville's inter-
ests. And inasmuch as the same
rate of discrimination is applied

Stevens county people can see
just how dearly the Great North

Stevens county's money.
