JOINT RATE TO
C0IV1E UP TODAY
0. R. & N. Files Answer to the
Commission, Questioning
Power of Body. .
FACTS ALSO IN DISPUTE
Railroad Denies Seattle or Tacoma
Is Better Market Than Portland,
and That Shippers Have
Anything to Gain.
OLTMPIA. Wash., June 20. (Special.)
The State Railroad Commission will to
morrow take up again the matter of
compelling the railways to establish joint
rates on wheat, to compel track connec
tions between lines, including the Spo
kane & Inland Electric Railway, and for
Joint rates on potatoes and other vege
tables. The O. R. & N. has already filed
Us anewer, which is a denial of the
power of the Commission to make the
orders and of the alleged facts. Tomor
row answers are expected from the other
lines. Of course the Commission will
proceed with the hearing despite the ob
jections. The foremost objection of the O. R. &
N. Js that It Is an Interstate road; that
it has built up an Interstate business,
much of which Is the hauling of "Wheat
from Eastern Washington to Portland for
hlpment to California or foreign ports.
It declares It has Invested millions and
has Induced others to Invest large
amounts. In elevators, warehouses and
Hiippihg" facilities for handling wheat at
Portland, all of which will be lost it the
Joint rate rule Is established. If, as the
Commission contends, wheat Is worth
several cents a bushel more at Sound
points and should be diverted to the
Bound.
The railroad denies vehemently that Se
attle or Tacoma are better markets than
Portland or that joint rates will be of
any benefit. It also denies that there
is necessity for or good to be done any
one by - making connection between its
tracks and those of the Northern Pacific
or Spokane & Inland, and declares that
Joint rates have always been a matter
of special arrangement and never applied
to wheat, because each road wants all
. the wheat it can get for its own termi-
. nAls.
- It asserts that Spokane and Sound mill
ers can get all the, wheat they want from
wheat sections served by the Northern
lines. Bellingham and points on Oray's
Harbor or Willapa Harbor are not wheat
markets, says the answer, and should
not have terminal rates on wheat. As to
the charge that the Northern roads deny
those points terminal rates, , the answer
says if It Is true, it does not understand
how the O. R. & ST. can be held respon
sible, or blamed. As to trackage con
nections and Interchange of loaded cars.
It says the expense would be great and
that it would be absolutely Impossible
for the roads to agree as to dividing the
cost, as well as a taking of property
without due process of law and a denial
of the right of private contract.
The answer denies that Connell, Pull
1 man or Farmlngton are important ship
ping points or entitled to better facilities
than they now enjoy. It also denies that
to charge the sura of two locals on
shipments Is unjust or unreasonable.
There are In all about 30 pages of
thca denials and In addition about six
pages of affirmative defense. These may
be summed up briefly:
That the act creating the Commission
'll5 is void; that if the defects In that
ac t were cured by the 1907 law, the pres
ent complaint should be dismissed, be
cause It was Issued before the new law
took effect; that the Legislature has
passed a minimum freight law which is
In excess of the rates this Commission
proposes, and therefore the acts of the
Commission are Illegal; that the new
commission law proposes to give to the
Commission legislative, administrative,
executive and judicial funcitlons, and is
throfore unconstitutional in a score of
places.

TACOMA, Wash., June 10. (Special.)
At least six of the Tacoma Council
men have already determined to vote

few of the Dig places will teach the
other saloon man that they must obey

Rev. M. A.' Matthews Declares Stat

to Encourage Legal Separations
and Proposes a Remedy. .
SEATLE. Wash., June 20. (Special.)
The. Rev. M. A. Matthews. r. D., pastor
of the most prominent Presbyterian
Church in the state, gave out an inter
view tpday declaring that either the
church or the .Federal Government must
be given authority to annul marriages.
He" denounced the divorce practice of the
courts and said: ,
"The laws now on the statute books
seem to me to have been framed for the
express purpose of encouraging divorce.
They were farcically enacted and are
enforced without any consideration of
the evil they work upon the community.
"To the objection that the church would
not have the power to enforce Its decrees,
I would say make the state the agent of
the church to enforce decisions. Let the
state also enact that any minister who
remarries a divorced person shall be se
verely punished. No grounds exist for
divorces except those understood to be
Scriptural."

MUST IXSTAlIi FISH LADDERS
Game Warden to Preserve Fish at
Gray's Harbor.
HOQUIAM, Wash.. Jut's 20. (Spe
cial.) AH logging companies operat
ing dams on the rivers and creeks in
Chehalis County- must put in fish lad
ders, to be completed by , August 1,
Is the decision of Game Warden Lob
dell. Nearly every stream in this
county is at the present time ob
structed by a dam which makes It im
possible for salmon and trout to get
to the head of tidewater to spawn.
There ,has been a decided decrease
in the fishing industry of Gray's Har
bor during the past two seasons, and
this is attributed by fish-men to the
closing of streams, thus preventing
the salmon and trout reaching their
natural spawning grounds. The Hump
tulips River is obstructed by three
dams, 'operated by Burrows & Stock
well. Both branches of the Hsquiam
River are obstructed, as are the Wiahr
kah and North Rivers.
Several ot the mill companies have
