WILLAMETTE VALLEY
GIVEN LOWER RATES

BY decision rendered by the Inter
State Commerce Commission, a copy
of which was received today by the
State Railroad Commission, all points
in the Willamette valley will receive
a reduction of 12 per cent on less
than carload shipments, down to the
fourth class, which originate at points
east of the Missouri river
Prior to the requirement of the
Corvallis & Eastern Railroad company
by the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany, the latter, on all shipments,
made an arbitrary rate Of 10 cents
from Portland to points in the Will
lamette valley. This was done in Or
der to meet water competition. BY
acquiring the Corvallis e. Eastern
the company was able to abolish this
competition and removed the arbi-
trary rate, and substituted the local
rate.
With the view of restoring the ar
bitrary rate, the State Railroad Com
mission instituted suit before the In
terstate Commerce Commission. While
declining to restore the old rate It
makes a reduction of 12 per cent on
the local rate.

COMPANY
WITHDREW
THE SUIT

Evidently deciding that its conten-
tions were without foundation in law,
the American Surety company, which
instituted suit recently against Insur-
ance Commissioner Ferguson, to
compel him to approve bond given
by 1t in favor Of the United States
Fire Insurance company has with
drawn the case, and 1t will not go to
trial.
The company had failed TO comply
with the law in agreeing that all COM
missions on business taken in Ore
gon should go to Oregon agents, and
that all premiums paid should be
paid them, SO as to bring them with
in the taxation laws, and It was be-
cause Of this the insurance commits
sloner declined to approve the bond
In defense the Encouragement al
so raised the question that the Ameri-
con Surety company was not allowed
under its charter, to give bonds for
insurance companies, and this point
more than any other probably,
caused 1t to withdraw the suit.

FELL OVER RIVER BANK
ONE LEG BROKEN

Sometime during the night Friday
man who gives his name as Robin.
son fell about 30 feet over the bank
Of the Willamette river at the foot
Of Marion street, breaking his right
leg above the knee and cutting and
brulsing his face severely. 1t is not
known Just what time the accident
happened or how II occurred, The
night watchman on the construction
work at the new bridge made the dis
covery about six o'clock, seeing what
seemed to be a man lying on the grav-
el bar at the edge Of the water, he
rowed over and reported the find to
Elmer NJ. Savage, who resides at the
the foot Of Marion street. Mr.. Saw
age reported the matter to the police
and officer Walter Thompson was
soon at the scene. On account OF the
the bank being so steep at this point
II was necessary to take him by boat
up the river to the boat house, where
the ambulance was In waiting. He
was at once taken to the Salem hos
pltal, where Dr. w. Carleton Smith
attended him. lie was in a half un-
conscious condition when found and
has not recovered consciousness yet.
He lost a great deal OF blood and was
suffering greatly when found. He
will probably recover but there is a
possibility that he may lose his leg.

Child labor was a natural outgrowth,
the report asserted, of such condi-

was forced to add to his income by
securing work for his children.
The labor bureaus investigators
found unsanitary, ill-ventilated and
squalid living quarters furnished for
the mill workers, many Of them con-

menace life."

BIG LINER OLYMPIC
STUCK on MUD.BANK

New York, July 6.--The great
White Star liner Olympic went
aground in the upper bay near Ellis
Island this afternoon when forced to
change her course to avoid running
down the steam yacht Vilrlng.
The liner grounded at food tide
but was not in a dangerous position
The bottom where the Olympic
struck is mud and not rock Tugs
were sent TO her assistance and an
effort made 10 move her back into
the channel Unless the big liner is
floated within short time, II will
probably be impossible TO get her Of
until the next flood tide, which will
be at midnight Because she ground
ed at high tide there was a distinct
possibility that part OF her cargo
might have to be lIghtered before
she could be hoated,
A later dispatch says she was
pulled of at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
and started on her voyage.
