LUMBER RATE IS UPHELD lntlnnrd From First Pase nn rAiich lumber from the WU lametts Valley in Oregon to San Fran cisco and other bay points. The rail ways announced that the rate, which 1 1 ia ne looo feet, was to be In creased to 15- A protest was filed with the Interstate Commerce commission by the Associated Lumber Dealers of the Northwest, and the Commission, after Investigation, decided that $3.40 per 1000 was a reasonable rate. The objection of the railways to this de cision took the form of a suit for an injunction to set aside the order of the Commission. In their arguments upon the demur rer, which consumed two days, the attorneys for the Southern Pacific. W. W. Cotton. P. V. Dunne and F. C Dll lard. charged that the Hepburn rate law was unconstitutional, as being a delegation of legislative, executive and Judicial power to the Commission, which, it was contended, should not be authorised to fix a rate for the future. It was maintained that upon the exist ing tacts the rate fixed by the Commis sion was unjust and unreasonable, and It was urged that the court should re view the findings of the Commission and determine, upon the facta present ed, whether or not such was the case.

Tfce Lite Kaaey Ifewlaad Merrill. MERRILL. Or.. Sept. 0. (Special.) Mrs. Nancy New land Merrill, who died at her home here September 14, was born February 8, 1840, at Kane Hill, Washington County, Ark. She was married to N. S. Mer rill October 18. 1860. at Buf falo, Macdonald County, Mo. The young couple went to Cal ifornia Jn October, 1889, and made their home at Orland. In July, 1881, they moved to Montesano, Wash., where they lived until November. 1890, when they came to Klamath County. Here, by hard labor and thrift, they prospered with the development of the country. Hundreds of early settlers carry loving memories of the many kindnesses of "Aunt Nancy." The funeral services were In charge of the Re bekahs. Judge Gilbert, who delivered the de cision of the court, that In a general way the Judges had reached their con clusion on the fact that they did not consider the nature of the complaint Itself sufficiently definite to permit the granting of the relief asked. Judge Gilbert said that the opinion of the court might not be ready for Issu ance for some time, and because of this the railroad attorneys asked for a general statement of the court's posi tion. The Federal attorneys are well pleased with the outcome of the case and state that while the court merely ruled on the demurrer to the plea for an Injunction to restrain the Interstate Commerce Commission, the action of the court is practically to sustain the view of the President that Congress has the right to enact statutes for the regulation of railway tariffs. Propose, to Continue Fight. The Southern Pacific's lawyers, how ever, have no Intention of giving up the tight. They admit that tne commission has drawn first blood, but they believe that when they return to the attack tomorrow, amending their bill, according to permtesion granted them by the court, thev will be able to force a reconsidera tion of the question and wring from the Circuit Judges another opinion more ia vorable to the company's cause. The railroad's attorneys do not admit that the adverse decision rendered today locks them out of court, nor do they Intend to rest on the assumption that all their arguments on the alleged unconstitu tlonsllty of the Commission's position have been worthless. The Southern Pacific lawyers believe that they have strong precedent in their contention. They quote the United States Supreme Court ruling in the Import rate case and the Circuit Court deel jion In the orange-routing case as authority for their view that they have the right to a ju dl.-lal review of the frUtht-rate question when It is shown that the rate fixed by the Commission Is so unjust and un reasonable that It amounts almost to con flscatlon. They will not admit that It Is confiscation, but they aver that when a rate gives the carrier an Infinitesimal profit, hardly more than bare operating expenses. It IS entmeq to rsnai. STATE LEVY TWO MILLS Predictions Regarding 'Washington Taxes for This Tear. OLTMPIA. Wash., Sept 0. (Spe claL) The state tax general fund levy probably wtll be about two mills this year as against two and one-half mills last year. The state school levy will be about two and one-half mills, one- half of last year; the highway levy will be one-half mill and the military levy one-fifth mill, both double last year, being Increased by the last Leg islature and being practically nxea levies. These predictions are approximate on this year's levy, as the State Board of Equalisation haa not yet completed Its work. It has made tentative find ings and when the clerks have worked out results from these findings, made up totals, etc the Board will tomor row make up the levies. Until the lev ies are made up tne ooara win not give out any of Its findings, as the whole schedule may have to be worked over to produce the funds necessary according to the estimates submitted by the several state departments. With all county returns now here and an Increased force of clerks the state canvassing board Is making pro gress on election returns and expects to announce complete results by to morrow evening.
