The new rates on the Spokane
Falls & Northern railroad will go
into effect January 18, if the Great
Northern railroad company does not
appeal from the order of the public
service commission which fixed the
rates. While no date is fixed in the
order, the law provides that an order
of the commission goes into effect
within 80 days after service on the
railroad company, and this order was
served on the Great Northern officials
on December 18.
j. C. Lawrence, former chairman
of the commission, who resigned,
notified the complaining witness
against the Spokane Falls & Northern
railroad as to these facts. Mr.
Lawrence said:
Judge Brown, attorney for the
Great Northern, has asked the COM
mission for supplemental findings in
this case, which indicates that he in
tends to appeal. The commission re-
fused to give the supplemental find
ings and if an appeal is taken it must
be from the order and evidence used
in the hearing. The Great Northern,
which owns and operates the Spokane
Falls & Northern railroad, opposed
the reduction in rates on that branch
and introduced evidence to show that
the limited amount of business on
that line and the heavy operating
expense makes it necessary to charge
higher rates to make the branch line
self-supporting.
THE commission refused to con-
slider the matter in this light, but took
the stand that the Spokane Falls &
Northern is a branch of the Great
Northern, part of the main system,
and as such should be treated as are
al other branches. The Spokane
Falls & Northern branch is the only
lranch of the Great Northern in this
state which is not operated with the
s2me rates as are applied to the main
line. The commission could find no
excuse for treating the Spokane Falls
& Northern differently from any
other branch and ordered the rates
reduced to conform to those on the
main line and all other branches.
'If an appeal is taken the road
will be up against our general dis
tributing tariff order, which will
apply to the Spokane Falls &
Northern and give the same rates
on that branch as were given in the
order concerning that road alone.
Both orders have the same effect on
the Spokane Falls & Northern and
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-01-06

This discrimination against Col
vile shows that the Great North
ern and its grating tributary
the S. F. & N have no time for
Coiviile or for ColviIle's inter-
ests. And inasmuch as the same
rate of discrimination is applied
to EVERY station in Stevens
county by the S. F. & N, the
Stevens county people can see
just how dearly the Great North
ern loves Stevens county and
Stevens county's money.
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-01-06

to avoid giving these rates the road
will have to appeal from both orders
and have both appeals sustained by
the courts. In the past the Great
Northern fought nearly all orders
made by the commission and the fact
that it has asked for supplemental
findings leads us to believe that it in
tends to appeal from this order
1t is understood by those who have
been looking the matter up that the
rates will go into effect from the date
fixed by the commission and the law
if sustained by the courts, and that
the railroad will have to refund all
money paid for freight charges in
excess of these rates. Patrons of the
road are urged to make all payments
under protest, if the rates ordered by

The facts in the freight rate

following simple table, which
gives the freight classification,

In such case, what will you do?

you give your enemy money with which
to fight you? Or will you throw your
business to the lines which are giving
equitable rates to their patrons? Which

resident of this county. to do? Guess.

the commission are net granted and
the case is appealed, and to demand
a refund if the rates are sustained.
The question of boycotting the
Great Northern on all shipments and
passenger business east and west
from Spokane, if an appeal is taken,
is being agitated and is meeting with
general favor. Merchants and
citizens in towns on the Spokane
Falls & Northern are being urged
