Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Prouty and State Commissions
of Washington and Mon
tana Are Coming.
Portland is today the Mecca for a
warm of prominent traffic officials
of the Northwestern railroads. The In
vasion began last night when Great.
Northern private cars besan arriving
at the terminal grounds. Northern Pa
cific officers will pour in today, and
will be followed by the railroad com
missions of Washington and Montana,
which will arrive Monday.
Commissioner C. A. Prouty, of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, was
due to reach Portland last night on
the sJ. R. & N., but .his train was de
layed and was bulletined to pull In
early this morning.
The railroaders are coming to at
tend the hearing before Commissioner
Prouty on the. Spokane terminal rate
case. This will be held in the Federal
courtroom in the Postoffice building,
and will open tomorrow morning.
There is a mass of evidence to be
taken In the case from the standpoint
of Portland shippers and Jobbers, and
It is not known how long the hearing
will continue.
The commission has already heard
the grievances of the Spokane Jobbers
at a session held in that city during
the Winter. They undertook to show
that Spokane should be given rates
which would permit a large part of the
territory of the Inland Empire now
served from Portland to be supplied
from Spokane warehouses.
Portland interests are confident they
can disprove much that has already
been introduced Into the testimony and
show the reality of water competition
as operating In favor of Portland to
reduce the transcontinental rates and
against Spokane and other interior
cities.
Ben Campbell, trafflo manager of the
Great Northern; W. W. Broughton,
frelghb traffic 'manager; A. L. Craig,
passenger traffic manager; H. M.
Adams, assistant traffic manager, and
L. C. GUman, oounsel for the Hill lines.
were in the party arriving late last
night.
J. G. Woodworth, traffic manager of
the Northern Pacific, and Henrv Blake
ly. general Western freight agent, are
aue nere tnis morning, also in prl
vate cars. All these oftlcials are inter
fated In the outcome of the Knokunn
lease, and are fighting the Spokane
contention together with the O. R. &
W. If Spokane wins. Seattle and Ta-
coma will be struck a blow In the loss
of more or less Jobbing trade. Port
land will probably suffer most In such
a contingency.
Railroad commissions of Montana
and Washington are Interested, . the
latter directly and the former to a
large extent because the Spokane case
will probably be cited as a precedent
n similar controversies should other
interior cities have similar aspirations

CHIEF NO-SHIRT'S CUNNING
Gives Ijiqnor Flask to Companion,
Who Carries It on Reservation
Associated with the case of Jim
Luke, an Indian, who was yesterday
fined $25 and sentenced to 90 daya
In Jail by United States Circuit Judge
William S. Gilbert for taking liquor
onto tne Umatilla Indian Reservation,
there is an interesting story of the
native cunning of the redskin. Luke,
in company with Chief No-Shirt, of
the Umatillas, had visited a town near
the reservation, but outside Its bounds.
There they managed to buy a bottle
of liquor, the Chief, however, retain
lng possession of the flask and help
lna himself to the greater part of its
contents, until they were about to en
ter tne reservation, when he handed
the bottle to his less shrewd eompan
Ion. who wlUlnsrly pocketed the tir
water, only to be detected subsequent
ly with the liquor In his possession.
When arraigned In court yesterday,
Luke promptly pleaded guilty and re
ceived his sentence.
