AFTER SOUTHERN
WHEAT RATES
FARMERS UNION MEET WITH
RAILROAD OFFICIALS.
Inland Empire Affected BY
Proposed Reductions Made
At Walla Walla.

A reduction in freight rates on
wheat from the Inland Empire to St.
Louis. Mo-. and points in Tennessee
that will open up the southern market
to northwestern growers was discussed
by representatives Of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union
and traffic officials of northwestern
railroads, at conference held at the
Occur d'Aleue hotel in Spokane Tues
day. After the conference President
l.. @. Crow of the Washington Farm
ers' union and Secretary A. D. Cross
announced themselves as certain that
a favorable reduction will be made.
Prospects for reduction were ad-
mitted by railway officials although
no definite figure could be suggested as
it was said southern railways that
would participate in tte tIansporta-
tion have still to he consulted. This
consultation will take place July 20
at Chicago and basis of division of
the rate will then be decided upon if
possible.
The farmers. lacking data upon
which to ask reduction. we're re-
inforced by John q. Lawrence, for
merly chairman Of the state public
service commission of Washington,
who is farmer himself, although not
member of the union. but no definite
reduction was asked and tie confer
enoe finally adjourned without coming
to any conclusion further than TO
delve iuto the question at future con
ferenoes. Following the Chicago meet.
ing the northwestern railways will
again meet with the farmers and,
equipped with the views of the south
ern roads, will then endeavor to fix @
rate.
The project in view is the opening
up of new market to northwestern
wheat. The soft wheat supplies oil
the big milling centers at Nashville
Chattanooga, Knoxville. and Other
cities in Tennessee have been rapidly
dwindling in recent years, and the
hard wheat raised nearer them is en-
tirely unsuited to their purpose. The
demand is for the soft wheats such as
fortyfold. and the club varieties raised
in Washington. which are wanted for
-four and also as a component in the
materials used in bleaching cotton.
Under the joint rates now in force
it costs 75 1.2 cents per 100 pounds, AZ
cents bushel to tranport wheat from
the Inland Empire points to st. Louis,
plus local rates beyond that point &c
the mills of Tennessee. where it is said
from 10000, 900 to 100000 bushels
annually could be used. So scarce
was suitable wheat last yeai in the
markets hitherto drawn upon by the
mills. that it is said they paid the
almost pronibitiye freight rates and
took wheat from southern Idaho.
