er of them credited by the district

two medical students obtained the
body, took It to the point where it
was found, dressed It in l.afrance'a
clothing and arranged so that it should
be called to the attention of passing
fishermen.
The second was that Lafrance had

SHIPPERS DEMAND ROUTES
Oregon and Washington Join In Op
posing Harriman Plan.
Portland. On the grounds that the
plan ot the Harriman roads, to close
the gateways at Wallula, Silver Bow,
Spokane and Denver against theli
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
rates, representatives of the West
Coast 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 Bhowed that the
shippers have not been much inclined
to use the routes alternative to those
of the Harriman system, the testimony
made apparent the fact that theae
shippers want these various routes
left open so that tbey can use them
In case they become dissatisfied with
the Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line
and O.-W. It. & N. Co.
