Special Meeting o ruu rarucuidis winciu BOARD COMPLETES DATA Railroad Commission Will. Begin Making Findings Now. OL.XMPIA. Wash., March 21. (Spe cial.) Expert witnesses placed on the stand at the hearing before the Rail road Commissioners today, en the costs of railroad construction, testified that all timber'. used in railroad construc tion has decreased from 30 to 45 per cent since. 1907. when timber was ex ceptionally high. Frank J. Shields, of the Union . Lumber Company, testified that railroad ties which sold for $1$ to $13 per thousand feet are now selling at tS and 9. - In 1905 ties sold at J7 and 8, and in 1906 at J9 and J10. Prior to 1905, ties sold as low as $4.50 per thousand feet. Stringers used in bridge work have decreased in price corre spondingly. Harry H. Collier, a large laborer furnisher, was placed on the stand and stated that common railroad laborers, who last year were paid as high as $2.50 per day. are now working for $1.50 and $1.60 per day. Prior to 1907 these men received about $1.50 to $l.a per day. Skilled labor has decreased proportionately. The Commission completed the hear ing today and the railroad attorneys made their final arguments. Their ar guments were principally to the effect that in estimating the values of rail roads, the'eost of reproduction was of no material value. The location of the line, the density of population and the vain and amount of business trans acted, these they held were the only elements that should be taken into con sideration for rate-making purposes. The ability of railroads to earn money was another point upon which the at torneys dwelt for some time. An hour was taken by each in making the arguments. A. C. Spencer, attorney for the O. -R- N.. stated that he hod tnken PLEASURE Bailey Bike Wagons Runabouts and Top Buggies Phaetons and Stanhopes Surreys and Cabriolets Broughams and Landaus Pony Vehicles V 'H l i H 17 S 1 1I f 1A7 I A y ... . f f z v sac: earth fthe Harrtman lines'), and it ten ders these facilities freely and efTec tivclv. Not only this, but this extra ordinary plan involves a large expen diture of money by the interested rail roads, for communities accepting the proposition., and It offers communities A VERY GREAT OPPORTISITV. This plan stands upon its own record. It is a success. It is going to be a greater and a. greater success. The experience of Medford.
