CHARGES EAST REDUCED 1 Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens PAG FIG Manufacturers in Oregon on rarity With Those Located in Watliington. II. A. Hinshaw, general freight asent of the Southern Pacific com pany, with headquarters in Portland, yesterday announced that he has filed with the state public service commis sion an agreement to grant what is 1-cnown as milling-in-transit rates to lumber manufacturers of Oregon. The concession. which has been sought for a long time, is a very im portant one for the industry. Jt will mean a. large savins in shipments to eastern points. Mr. Hmsuaws statement is as fol lows: "Arrangements are being made to publish at the earliest possible date rules in eastbound transcontinental lumber traffic, permitting the mill-ing-in-transit of lumber when origi nating at points on lines of the South ern Pacific in Oregon, destined to transcontinental territory. This ar rangement will permit the milling-in-transit only at points on Southern Pacific lines in Oregon at the follow ing charge: "Distance from shipping point to transit station, 65 miles or less, lVs cents: more than 65 miles and not over 105 miles, 2 cents: more than 105 miles and not over 150 miles, 2 Mi cents: more than 150 miles and not over 250 miles, 3 cents. "This will place the mills located on Southern Pacific lines in Oregon on a parity w7ith mills located on lines in AVashington." Hinshaw added that it probably will require a few weeks in which to work out the new schedule and con clude final arrangements, but that every possible effort will be made to put it into effect as quickly as possi ble. The action of the Southern Pacific company follows as a result of a peti tion ol 165 mill owners, filed with the state commission several months ago. The state chamber of commerce used its good influence to assist in bring ing about the result. ETGEXE INTERESTS GRATIFIED Milling-in-Transit Rate Promises to increase Lumber Industry. EUGENE, Or., Dec. 14 (Special.) The news of the granting by the Southern. Pacific company of the milling-in-transit rate to the sawmills of this state was received with much satisfaction by the owners of numer ous small mills in Lane county. They have been working for the establish ment of this, rate for a number of years, and believe now that there is a brighter outlook for the business than for a long time past. Lumbermen said today that.where It formerly had cost them from 10 to 5 cents a hundred to get their rough material to market by way of the dry kilns and planers in Eugene, they now will have a rate of from 1 cent to IVs cens a hundred, or virtually the same rate as applied to through shipments on their products from the mills to outside points. In the opinion of local millmen this ruling will result not only in increased production from the smaller plants in this district, but will bring increased business to Eu gene. On announcement of the granting of this rate this afternoon one com ptny that operates a planing and fin ishing mill here stated that its ca ptclty will be increased and more men will be employed.
