CIT les
WIN I!

Tacoma and the other
Pacific coast ports today
won % notable commercial
victory when the interstate
commerce commission hand
ed down at Washington an
order disappearing the plan
of the western lines for a
reimbursement of schedules to
favor backhaul points,.
Instead of allowing the
changes proposed, the commits
sion DEGREES a different change
of its own authorship.
Under this arrangement, the
rates to such point as Spokane
will be made up of the transcon-
tinental rate plus>75 per cent of
the local rate from the Sound
back.
Formerly Spokane's rate was
the overland rate plus all the To-
cal rate. Thus the new arrange.
ment Is slight concession for the
jobbers of that city.
Lose Fight For Equality
However, Spokane and other
intermountain cities had been
fighting for a rate approximately
the same as that enjoyed by the
coast ports, thus robbing the lat
ter of their advantage due to
water competition. This fight
these cities have lost.
Today's order designates Ia
coma, Seattle, Aberdeen, Ho-
GUAM, Cosmopolis, Astoria, Port
land, Vancouver, Bellingham and
Everett as ports entitled to ter
minal rates.

REFERENDUMS
SURE TO WIN

Every day makes us surer
that the referendums will win"
This was the optimistic word
brought by Secretary Rea Last,
of the Washington State Referen-
dun league, today after a trip
through the coal mining district
Of Pierce county.
In that territory, he. said, The
miners are signing practically to
a man, and those of the miners
who are not steadily at work are
using their time to circulate the
petitions among the others and
to argue for their success.
The registration late Saturday
night at the city hall also was
highly satisfactory to the refer
endum hackers. Not only did the
registration swell, but 65-names
were added to the referendum
petitions themselves.

CHICAGO. February 1e.-wheat
prices jumped upward here today. in

part of bulls. Opening quotations,

were followed by moderate advance
all around
Traders in oats guided themselves by
the action of corn. A different course
seemed to depend wholly on develop
ments in regard to export sales.
Provisions averaged a little HIGHER
as result of an advance in the hog
market. Shorts did most of the buy
ing.
Lack of available vessels to Europe
held down wheat export sales. and
caused considerable reaction later in
prices. The close was unsettled at 81
