ABIDE BK TARIFF
Decision Affecting Interstate
Commerce Law.
MUST UPHOLD CONTRACT
Supreme Court Holds Road Cannot
Change Rate Charged After Mak
ing Agreement to Curry Goods
at the Published Schedule.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. April' 4. (Special:)
The Supreme Court today rendered an
important 'deeieion in a controversy con
cerning shipping rates in a dispute as. to
the application of the interstate com
merce law. The case was the suit of the
Park-Fisher Company against the Great
Northern Railway Company to recover
possession of a bill of goods from Nor
way, consigned to the Park-Fisher Com
pany, at Seattle.
Under the Interstate Commerce Com
mission law. railroads are compelled to
keep posted a tariff schedule at all sta
tions. This schedule posted at Seattle
showed that the rate on canned goods
from Stavanger, Norway, to Seattle was
S3 cents per 100 pounds; and on cheese $1.31
per 100 pounds.
The Park-Fisher Company purchased 4S3
cases of canned goods t Norway, having
a total weight of 38. 735 pounds, and three
cases of cheese, weighing 416 pounds. A
contract was entered., into with the Great
Northern to bring these goods to Seattle
under the . published, rates. Upon ar
rival at Seattle the company tendered to
the railroad fiC.lW, which Included freight
and customs charges paid by the railroad.
This amount was refused, the carrier
claiming J447.S5. which Fisher refused to
pay. The railroad claimed that the best
ocean rate it could get was 38.7 cents per
100 pounds and the best rail rate 75 cents
per 100 pounds, making a total of $1.13.
The Superior Court of King f'ounty
found for the railroad, which Hied a car
rier lien upon the consignment and judg
ment was rendered, giving the railroad
possession until the full amount asked
for was paid. From this the appeal was
taken.
The Supreme Court reverses the judg
ment of the lower court and holds the
railroad to the original contract. The
lower, court Is Instructed to enter judg
ment in favor of the appellant, giving
them possession of the property, upon
their paying the railroad JSiO.Hn. Justice
Rudkin. tiled the dissenting opinion.

BREAK LOOSE FROM ROADS
FARMERS TO BUILD MANY
WAREHOUSES , OF OWN.
Cannot Reach Agreement; to : Pur
chase and So Appoint Committee
to Build Competing Structures.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. April 4.
(Special.) AIL negotiations are off be
tween the owners of the warehouses
along the O. R. & N. and Northern Pa
cific Railroads and the Farmers Co
operative and Educational Union, in
the vicinity of Walla Walla. The
Farmers' Union has for some . time
been negotiating with the warehouse
owners w'.ih a view to purchasing the
warehouse. They have failed to get
together on terms, and today the farm
ers, at a meeting In this city, arranged
to build 10 warehouses at as many dif
ferent stations along the lines of the
two railroads. A committee was ap
pointed for each warehouse, and each
committee will form a company to
build a warehouse.
It is understood that the farmers in
the vicinity of Waitsburg and Prescott
have arranged to build' at least 15
warehouses on the same plan.
The breach between the farmers and
the warehousemen was caused by ati
Increase in tire storage and handling
charges last year, just before harvest
time. The Farmers' Union has been
working on the matter ever 'since, and
has succeeded In securing permission
from the railroads to erect competi
tive warehouses on the railroad lands
at the different stations.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AT COST AND LESS
The rush . for Pianos. Talking Ma
chines, Sheet Music, Violins, Mandolins
and all kinds of musical instruments
increases daily as the Graves & Co.'s
Foccedf-Out Sale goes on. ThiJ is due
to the many shrewd buyers who have
participated In this really great money
saving event telling their friends and
neighbors of this exceptional chance.
From far and near music teachers, mu
sicians and musical instrument buyers
crowd the stores .from morning until
night and every mail brings a vast I
amount of orders for talking machines, i
sheet music, musical instruments and J
pianos. This state of affairs is not to 1
be wondered at w hen
the high Quality and
the ridiculously low

Into consideration. It
seems to be well under
s t od n o w w by we are
c o m v e Hed to sacrifice
this immense stock. It
is the result of the out
rageous demands for
rental made by a.
frenzied lease-operator.
It's another case of
where an .unrea
sonable sib - lessor
thinks he can bleed a
tenant for the limit.
At the outset we fullv
realized "that only the most extraordi
nary inducements would move such an
immense stock of high-grade musical
instruments and sheet music. Accord
ingly everything has been reduced, cut j
and slashed out of all reason. Profits f
are no object now. In fact, if we can t
realize the bare factory cost we shall
be satisfied. i
