Important Decisions by
Commerce Commission.
All Freight Rates Between The
Coasts Are Affected.
Permission Withdrawn 10 Fix the
Arbitrary Market Limits.

Washington. July 24.-In what are
known as the Spokane Iieno-Facific
Coast cases, the Interstate Commerce
Commission today ordered material
reduction in freight rates FROM the
East TO points between Denver and
the Western terminals Of the great
trans~conrinental railroads
For many years the RAILROADS have
exacted from shippers to immediate
points, such as Spokane and Reno,
higher rates on Eastern frei ghts than
were charged for the much longer
hauls to Seattle, San Francisco and
other Pacific coast points. The the
DRY has been that the railroads must
meet water competition to he Pacific
coast The higher rates to interne-
diate points arbitrarily fixed have
been defended by a comparison with
the coast rates, plus a theoretical
back haul frem the coast to, the in
land stations along the line.
The commission recognizes the right
of railroad TO meet water lcompeti-
ton to Pacific coast points bur prac-
lically wipes out the back haul rates
u inter Rocky Mountain territory. II
lays down what it considers would be
zones in the West and gives the rail-
roads until oct. - to adjust their tar
ifs accordingly.
The commission also lays down the
important principle that hereafter
railroads will not be permitted to fix
arbitrary market limits and thai here
after commercial conditions rather
than the will of railway traffic man

filed in Lewis and Clark, jefferson
and Silver Bow counties. The money
is secured by bonds, damsites and
real estate in the four counties.
The morgtage covers all Of the land,
power sites, power lines, and fran
