LOCAL MAN WILL ATTEND
HEARING OF INTERSTATE
COMMERCE commission
Fortified With Facts and Fig
ures of Oregon's Wool Pro-
duction Hoke Goes Spokane.

Fortified with facts and figures
showing the production of wool in
Oregon and the transportation prob
lens OF wool growers in the state.
Mac Hole. secretary of the Oregon
Wool Growers association. accompa-
MED by Mrs. Hoke and baby daugh-
ter will leave this evening for Spo-
kane where he will appear tomorrow
at a hearing before Commits. ioner
Eddy who represents the interstate
commerce commission.
The hearing is one of series being
held in the Northwest to decide whe-
ther the request of the railroads to
have the present rates on wool low
cred from the terminal al Portland
to Boston shall be granted.
Wool men are opposing the granting
OF permission on the ground that the
move is ueing made for the purpose of
competing with water rates. Ninety
per cent of the wool produced in Ore
gon this year has been SHIPPED to
Portland and has other been shipped
from there by water, or is being held
for that purpose. according to figures
that have been compiled by Hoke.
What the wool men are fighting for
is either a flat rate from interior
points TO Boston, or else rate equal
to the rate from Portland. AS rates
are arranged at present, sacked wool
can be shipped from Portland for
$l.6G per hundredweight, and from
Mountain Home, Idaho. the rate is
SS.Ss l-S, or just one and one-third
cents more than twice the terminal
rate,
According TO the testimony of ]. w
Mount, an O-W r. & y. official, said
to have been given in hearing al

that it can make profit in shipping
from Portland at rate of s1.S5 :
hundredweight for baled wool. One
from a,ountain Home to Boston thar
is charged for the haul over the long
er haul from Portland to Boston.
This discrimination IN rates is re
thing that wool men are interested i,
lis why the rate for interior shipping
points should not be equally as low
or even lower instead Of much higher
