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
