The refusal to permit a reduction
betweefc the' Yakima valley and Port
land was due to tho circumstance
that the Portland rate would have
been less than that to Tacoma and
Seattle. ,
The proposed Walla Walla valley
rate was ordered cancelled because it
would have violated the long-ahort
haul provisions of the Interstate com
merce commission act and would In
the opinion of the commission, have
given Walla Walla valley producers

boxed the Worcester French-Canadian
after tho third round, and from
the sixth on, outslugged him as well.
Brouillard had the edge In the
first two rounds, tearing into Fields
with a savage body attack. Field,
however, required those two rounds
and part of the third during which
to solve BroulUard's southpaw style,
and from there on, except for brief
rallies by the champion, he was on
top.
,In the sixth it appeared that the
