FREIGHT RATES
REDUCED FROM
PORTLAND HERE
Through Efforts of Pacific
Spruce Traffic Manager and
Chamber of Commerce South
ern Pacific Grants Reduction.

Through the efforts of w. ]. Thom-
as, traffic manager for the Pacific
Spruce corporation, in conjunction
with the Toledo Chamber of Com
merce, the Southern Pacific Railroad
company has issued new freight rates
between Portland and Toledo and
Yauina which took effect on August
LIST. The new rate will enable the
shipments of products from Portland
at 33 1-3 per cent reduction under
the old rate, prior to July 1st, this
year.
OLD RATES AND NEW
The old rates On first, second, third
and fourth class freight per hundred
pounds, from Portland to Toledo were
as follows: first class, $1.08; second
class, .e5kc; third class, .S3c; and
fourth class, 74c. The new rates are
as follows: first class, S5c; second
class, TIC; third class, 6Oc and fourth
class. Sic.
Practically all staple goods coming
into Toledo from Portland come under
fourth class and will be noted that
the difference Of the old rate and the
new is .23c per hundred pounds, al
lowing a saving of more than one
third to the shipper.
Thu o,d rate to Yaquina were 81 l2hs
-.99c, S61sc and 75c. The new sched-
ule OF prices allow the same rate to
Yaquina as to Toledo. Elk City is

BUY HAY NOW SAYS
COUNTY AGENT IN
WARNING TO FARMERS
Good Cow Hay Is Selling in Val
ley at SIG. Per Ton; Stockmen
Should Cooperate and Pur-
chase Car Load Lots.

1.-THE extremely dry weather has
made hay scarse and high, but none
the less essential in the maintenance
Of livestock this coming winter" said
County Agent ]. E. Cooter today.
There will be no surplus hay this win
ter so that undoubtly the best time
to buy hay is now; and We would
say the best way to buy hay is to get
your neighbors' orders together, make
up car load end buy it direct from
the producer, or from some producer
selling organization. Before it has
been essential to add 20 the neces-
sary expense of hauling to the ware
house, paying storage, insurance, dray-
age chargese to the -ailroad later
and saleman's commission for selling,
etc. Good COW hay is selling at around
$16 90 per ton in the Willamette Va,-
ley, in Linn, Lane and Benton countiess
1t is little early for prices on East
ern Oregon alfalfa, but the alfalfa hay
could be secured to good advantage
either from growers direct or through
one Of the several hay growers as
sociations. The County Agents Jffice
would be glad to assist carload pur-
chasers in locating supplies of hay"

WISHES At ONCE
Livestock Pavilion Superinten-
dent L. A. Hubert Must Know
Exact Number Animals That
Will Be Displayed at Fair.

l.. A. Hubert, superintendent of the
livestock pavilion at the fair this year,
is very anxious to have all entrys made
at once in order that proper prepara.
tions may be made in the way of pro-
viding quarters, securing feed, and
otherwise preparing to have every
thing in readiness before the opening
day Of the fair. 1t is particularly i'm.
portant in the case Of cattle displays
that the entrys be made early in or
der that all cattle may be tuberculosis
and abortion tested before the fair
The state law requires all cows to be
T. B. tested, and the fair board will,
this year, require that all animals on
display must be abortion tested prev
ious to being brought to the barn. DR..
Derflinger, state veterinarian will ar
rive in the county on the 9th day. of
August, and will be available for TAX
ing care of this testing work. AS sew.
era cases Of contagious abortion have
been found in the county 1t is particu-
larly important that no infected ami
mails be brought to the fair, and the in.
fection spread to the very expensive
purebreds hat will be on display this
year. .,...
Those who have already made ar.
rangements with Mr.. Hubert should

DISSOLUTION OF S.P.
AND c. 7. Condemned
Il BY COMMERCE BODY
Local Organization Believes
Supreme Court Decision Car
ried Out Would Seriously
Hamper Development.

The Toledo Chamber of Commerce
iS whole heartedly opposed to the
threatened dissolution OF the Southern
Pacific Lines and the Central Pacific
lines. as ordered by recent decision
OF the United States Cupreme Court,
according to letter sent to the Inter
state Commerce Commission On Aug.
ust 3 by the secl etary under order
commercial body.
The letter which was sent to the In.
terstate body protesting the action of
the court is as follows:
"The proposed Separation of the
Southern Pacific and Central Pacific
Lines in accordance with the recent
decision of the Supreme Court is some
thing of great interest to the people
of Oregon and the Pacific Coast.
"The Southern Pacific has been n
factor in the Development Of Western
Oregon for many years, and We feel
that anything that will tend to take
from its financial strength will un.
doubtedly be detriment to u.s.
"We have in mind the plan announc.
ed by your Honorable Body for re-
grouping the railroads in accordance
with the best interests of all concern
ed. which plan contemp.ates the re-
tanning Of the Southern Pacific and
Centeral Pacific as one system, and
we believe that results of the period
Of So years, during which time these
roads have operated under on manage
ment. proves that such arrangement
will best serve this territory.
We are therefore firmly convinced
that the decree Of the Supreme Court
should be stayed that the interstate
Commerce Commission may act under
the legislation of 1920.
1--WE are decidedly of the opinion
that the best interests of the Pacific
Coast States and particu arly of West
ern Oregon will. be served by allowing
these two properties to remain undis.
turbed and continue to function as
one system, as they have for more
than so years"
