ton.

Southern Pacific should refuse to aid
in bringing into effect the joint through

that the Union Pacific system and the

Lumbermen Seek
Broader Eastern Market


The Willamette Valley Lumber com
pany, whose base of operations is Dal-
las, the Hammond Lumber company and
the Booth Kelly Lumber company have
taken the initiative to eradicate dis
criminatory railroad rates, which is
proving a barrier to competing with
Portland for business offering through
out the middle west. 1t is probable
that complaint will be filed with the
interstate commerce commission, mas
much as while the Southern Pacific
traffic O-...cials might favor granting
the concession, and so recommend to
their superiors, it would finally reach
the governmental department for de-
termination. An effort is under way,
however, to induce the Southern Pa
eific company to join with the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle railway and
its eastern connections in granting
through rates to the territory of the
northern lines. The action taken is
in the form Of a request to the South
ern Pacific to grant Joint through rates,
and it is said there is strong prob.
ability that the matter win be adjust
ed to the satisfaction Of the applicants
However, should the request be denied
the interstate commerce commission
will be appealed to for an order com
pelling the railway company to join
with the North Bank system and its
eastern connections to make the de-
sired concession to the lumber pro-
ducers.
Referring to the attitude Of the
Southern Pacific in Withholding john
through rates from willamette valley
lumber mills so they could not com
peto for eastern business over the
northern lines, Louis Gerlinger, Of the
Willamette Valley Lumber company, is
reported to have declared that it has
resulted in holding back the develop.

McRAE GETS BIG VERDICT
jury In Gogebic County Finds Verdict
For Him

A. ID McRae, the well known Pen
toga contractor. scored a signal vic
tory in the Gogebic county court this
week when jury. sitting IN an action
brought against him by the school
board Of Wakefield, awarded Mr.. Nc
Rae, a verdict instead OF the school
board.
The action grows out OF a contract
taken by Mr.. McRae to drive a tunnel
through some rock near Wakefield
which the school board designed for
sewer purposes. MIR. McRae claimed
that the original contract called for a
tunnel l 200 feet long but that the
school board changed it after the bids
were opened 10 600 feet He also
claimed that they shifted the tunnel
from its original line as shown by the
blue prints.
After doing "A considerable OF the
excavating. Mr.. McRae walked off the
job and refused TO continue with
the work. That necessitated the re-
letting of the contract at a much high
er figure than the one Mr. McRae got
per foot. The school board sued Nc
Rae for the difference, some 100000
in round figures. The school board
was represented by Beard & Norris
while Mr. McRae's end was looked
after by j. A. O'Neil
After listening to the testimony the
jury returned verdict in favor OF
McRae for the sum of $11,31902. Mr..
MoRae had already been paid The sum
of $5,317.20, so that the victory is an
exceedingly important one for him.
