BLUE MOUNTAIN MARBLE
AND GRANITE CO. .. . . .
Spokane, Wash., March 9. (Spe
cial.) Reports have come through
Washington and other usually well in
formed sources from time to time that
the Interstate commerce commisoion
has completed the draft of its opinion
In the Spokane rate case, and that an
order will soon be entered, command
Ing the Hill ami ilarrlmai. lines to es
tablish a reasonable and just system
of interstate freight rates to and from
fcpoXane, but so far there has been
nothing official to confirm these ru-u.ora.
iianiifuctuit-rs. Jobbers, shippers
and the consumers in general here be
lieve, however, that when the commis
sion hands down Its decision In thlt
much-dlscuBsed litigation, It will there
in Issue an order prohibiting the rail
roads from charging a greater rate
for a shorter haul than for the longer
one, and that In no event will the
rates be greater to and from Spokane

anil the Pacific coast.
The Spokane case, which was the
first instituted under the congression
al act, effective January 1, 1907, Is
one In which every inland city in the
United States Is Interested, and the
outcome will be of vital Importance to
every community, where the so-called
water competition does not exist,
hence it may be said that the peti
tioners are fighting the battles of the
Interior cities so far as discrimination
and unlawful freight rates by the rail
roads are concerned.
Managers of the trans-continental
raods operating through the Spokane
country, which embraces 150,000
square miles In eastern Washington,
northern Idaho, western Montana,
northeastern Oregon and southeastern
British Columbia, admit without hesi
tancy that the rates from points east
to Spokane are greater than they are
to Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, also
that some kinds of freight can be
shipped from eastern points to Pacjflc
coast cities and then back to Montana
points at less rates than would be
charged If they were shipped to Spo
kane and then back to the same
points in Montana, but they say this
condition exists because of water
competition.
However, during the hearing at
Portland a year ago uncontrovertible
evidence was offered by the petition
ers, showing that not only were there
glaring discriminations in class and
other rates, but the testimony, which
was supported by tariffs, bills and
records, made It clear that more thai!
70 per cent of the carload shipments
to Spokane olrglnate at points not In
fluenced by water competition. This
evidence, pointing out also that no
shipments can be made to Spokane In
less than carload lots and then ship-
pea anywnere rrom Spokane as
against the rates to the cities of Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle, was not at
tacked by counsel for the railroads.
