force, when he ruled, against his de
sire, in favtr of the plaintiff in a suit
of the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation Company to collect exorbi
tant freight rates from the Columbia
Milling Company, of Portland.
The action grew out of the shipment
or bs.tiuo pounds of flour from Bprague,
Wash., to Portland over the Northern
Pacific and O.-W. R. & N. Railroads.
3 a Car Charged for Switching;.
Prior to the shipments of these two
carloads of flour in November, 1912,
the Sprague .Roller Mills had shipped
flour to the Columbia Milling Com
pany at Portland, over the Northern
Pacific and Spokane. Portland & Se
attle roads. This arrangement brought
the flour into the West Side at the
North Bank depot. This entailed an
extra freight haul to the mill on the
bast bide at a cost of So a carload.
The Northern Pacifio and North Bank
roads had a joint tariff covering flour
shipments at 15 cents a hundred
pounds.
To eliminate the switching charges
after the arrival of the flour in Port
land, the Columbia Milling Company
conceived the idea of shipping over the
Northern Pacific and O.-W. R. & N.
from Sprague through the junction at
Wallula. Wash., to Portland. The flour
would then arrive on the East Side.
Road Forced to Sue.
The flour was shipped and four
months later, after it had been paid
for and receipted "in full" by the
railroad, someone nosing about the
books of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. un
earthed the fact that the flour should
not have been listed under mill stuff,
but should have been shipped under the
existing tariff of 50 cents a hundred
pounds.
The flaw was in the lack of a Joint
tariff covering flour, between the O.-W.
K. & N. and the Northern Pacific
There was no recourse for the O.-W.
R. & N. but to sue for difference be
tween the 15 cents paid and 60 cents.
If the railroad did not begin the action.
it would be liable to a fine from the
Interstate Commerce Commission. The
interstate commerce law compelled the
railroad, on pain of fine, to make the
full charges and collect them. So,
realizing the unfairness of the pro
ceeding, the railroad was forced to
sue to save itself.
Immediately after the discovery of
the discrepancy in rates, the Inter
state Commerce Commission took steps
to remedy the matter.- it was reported.
so that the condition does not exist
today between the points at issue.
After asserting in his findings that
the assessment was clearly unreason
able and confiscatory. Judge Morrow
proceeded to give judgment in favor of
the plaintiff for the full amount,
371.89, demanded.
Attorney Blain Haueclc argued the
case for the O.-W. R. & N. and At
torney Arthur I. Moulton conducted
the defense.

1 1,700 Still Needed to Meet Oregon
Share of Relief Fond and Each
Day of Delay Costa Lives.
The fact that the Impending war with
Mexico has turned attention toward lo
cal relief activities does not relieve the
pressure that is upon the Armenians
in Turkey, although It may distract at
tention from it. Realizing this, the
committee In charge of the Armenian
relief fund Is making a renewed ap
peal to the people of Oregon to give
even to the point of sacrifice.
While local relief work is of Impor
tance, they point out, it is not con
cerned with a situation under which a
whole race of people is being gradu
ally exterminateid because of the slow
ness with which the funds that will
save it are coming in. The situation
in Armenia is Just such a situation,
and every day's delay in the raising
and forwarding of the relief funds is
paid for In the lives of starved men.
women and children.
Ben Selling, W. D. Wheelwright and
A. L. Mills, the original subscribers to
the fund, each of whom gave $100, have
doubled their contributions, recogniz
ing the need, for while the Oregon
fund, according to estimates, ought to
be $15,000. only, one-fifth of that
amount has been raised.
To complete the necessary fund the
following subscriptions will be needed:
Twenty-five subscriptions of $100 each,
50 subscriptions of $50, 100 subscrip
tions of $25, 200 subscriptions of $10.
and $440 subscriptions of $5, making a
total of $11,700.
