Around $25,000.
PLANT MAY BE REBUILT
Co-operative Association's Institu
tion One of Largest and Best
Equipped in Valley.
ALBANY, Or.. May 1. (Special.)
Ihe creamery of the Albany Cream
ery association, which was one of
the largest and best equipped plants
of the kind in the Willamette valley
and which was the largest co-opera
tive creamery in Oregon, was de
stroyed by fire this morning. With
the loss on some of the equipment
and supplies not fully determined.
it was estimated that the total loss
would reach $5,000 and might exceed
that figure. Insurance of J'JOOO was
carried.
It is practically certain that the
plant will be rebuilt as soon as pos
sible.
The fire razed the entire plant, ex
cept the extreme east end of the
building. The central portion of the
l-uildine was entirely destroyed. All
of the eastern portion of the plant
was burned except the refrigerator.
The outside of the big storage room
is burned so badly though that It was
a total loss.
Company Record Safe.
The only property removed from
the burninc- plant were some cans
and some cream. Seven thousand
pounds of butter were in the refrig
erator and probably will De savea.
If the butter was damaged it will
make the loss from $2000 to $2500
greater than now estimated.
A large quantity or cream, .as wen
i supplies of various kinds, were
lost. Some of the machinery may be
salvaged. The safe and records ot
the company were not damaged.
The fire was ' discoverea snon.'
before 6 o'clock this morning. Its
origin was not known. Frank Kroman.
r.ight watchman at the plant, went
off duty at 4:45 this morning. Just
an hour later tne lire siantu. n
originated just under the roof and
near the east end of tne DunoinB.
This is the opposite end of tne ouna-
lng from the boiler room. it was
presumed defective wiring was in-
cause.

Shippers. Challenge Commerce Com'
mission's Right to Increase
Intrastate Rates.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 1. (Spe
ciai.) Shippers of Seattle, Tacoma
and Everett will fight the interstate
commerce commission's Columbia
b;:sln rate case decision to a finish.
i r.ey will challenge in the supreme
court, is necessary, the lower of th
commission to order a 5 per cent in
crease in the intrastate railroad rate
between Puget sound and southeast
urn Washington to help create a 1
per cent differential in tavor of Port
iand in that city's southeastern Wash
ington rates.
inis decision was reached las'
night when representatives of the
i uget sound shippers conferred in
fccattle with E. V. Kuykendall, direct
or or tne Washington state depart
-nent of public works, and F. R. Spin
r ing, one ot his department lieuten
ants. Representatives of the Puget
sound cities asked the state depart
ment to assist them in continuing
neir ngnt to nullify the decision,
Sanpenxlon Order to Be Anked,
As a result of the conference it was
agreed that as soon as the railroads
file the revised tariffs that will create
the 10 pe.r cent differential ir favor
or Portland, the Puget sound, through
their commercial .organizations and
shippers' associations, will apply to
the state department of public works
for an order suspending the proposed
increase m tne Puget sound-south
eastern Washington rates and calling
upon tne carriers to show cause why
the suspension should not be made
permanent.
This action will put it up to the
carriers to defend the proposed rate
Increase before the state department
and if the department rules that the
increase is not justified and makes
the rate suspension permanent, the
carriers will receive the support of
the state department in any fight
they may be compelled to make in
the courts to enjoin the interstate
commerce commission from forcing
them to comply with its Columbia
basin ruling.
Fight Hinges on Law.
Resultant litigation would bring
squarely before the federal courts the
question whether the interstate com
merce commission has authority to
fix or alter intrastate railroad rates
rbitrarily.
It is on this still undecided ques
tion of the constitutional law that
the fight to be made by the Puget
Sound cities hinges. The federal
courts have had the question before
them, but never in a form as clean-cut
as it is presented in the Columbi
basin case, said Pugt Sound repre
sentatives.
In the Columbia basin case, in
which the interstate commerce com
mission recently refused to grant the
Puget sound cities a rehearing, the
commission decided last November
on an application filed by Portland
shippers, supported by the Oregon
state public service commission, that
a differential of 10 per cent in favor
of Portland and against the Puget
Sound cities in rates into the terri
tory south of the Snake river must
be established by the railroads. This
action was based principally on the
ground that Portland had a somewhat
shorter haul.
The commission ' held that the
southeastern Washington rates should
not be blanketed and that Portland
should have a lower rate than the
sound cities, where for years the rates
had been on a parity.
The Puget sound shippers, repre
sented by the chambers of commerce
of Seattle and Tacoma, the mechants'
exchanges of both cities, the port of
Seattle and what was then the state
public service commission, protested,
contending that a departure from the
rate blanketing system would disrupt
the existing rate structure in the Pa
cific northwest.
Consideration Is Refused.
Both at the hearing of the case and
on the petition lor a renearing tne
interstate commerce commission re
fused to consider this aspect of the
case.
In its decision the interstate com
merce commission held that in estab
lishing the 10 per cent differential in
favor of Portland the railroads enter
ing southeastern Washington from
Portland should make a 5 per cent re
duction in their rates, while the roads
