Oregon and Washington Join In Op
posing Harrlman Plan.
Portland. On the grounds that the
plan of the Harrlman roads, to close
the gateways at Walluls, Bllver Bow,
Spokane and Denver against their
competitors, will adversely affect the
service by eliminating competition In
routings, cause car shortages, limit
the scope of the markets and In some
cases actually force an Increase In the

"'oast Lumber Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, the Northwestern Fruit Ex
change and the Portland Chamber of
Commerce presented vigorous protest
against the railroad's proposal before
James W. Carmalt, examiner for the
Interstate commerce commission.
While the evidence showed that the
shippers have not been much inclined
to use the routes alternative to those
of the Harrlman system, the testimony
made appnrent the fact that thee
shippers want these various rout.-..
left open so thnt they can use them
In case they become dissatisfied with
the Union Pacific, Oregon Hhort Line
and O.-W. R. & N. Co.
