Revenues of the Sumpter ValleyRail road company, with headquarters at Baker, Or., will be increased approxi mately $54,035 annually as the result of a new tariff approved in an order issued by the Oregon public service commission here today. Tlie new tariff as it affects lumber shipments, which are the source of greatest revenue to the company, is as follows: Hased on carload mini mum lota of SOflO feet, with a mini mum charge of $10, the new rate for legs between Uaker and Dean is $2.65 per.

"The company being financially un able to pay the proposed increases, a strike followed, and the road ceased operation temporarily.

Regarding passenger fares the or dr says: "It will be noted that if tiie tariffs now under suspension are permitted to become effective, the greater portion of the increased rev enue which it is sought to obtain will be derived from the passenger traffic and from log shipments. The pas senger fares sought to be increased were prescribed by order of this com mission under date of September 6, 1912, and since that time have been in effect, and have not been increased, while the freight rates have been in creased from 25 to 40 per cent in that time. "It would logically follow that if the relation existing between the pas senger fares and freight rates was a proper one when originally estab lished, or, in other words, if passen ger fares based on 4 cents per mile placed upon the passenger traffic a fair proportion of the cost of service at that time, certainly under the present increased costs the passenger traffic is not bearing its share of the burden.

The sensational murder this morning of Lord Mayor MacCurtain has not yet been solved, but It has become known that two days ago he received a threatening letter which he regarded as a Joke. The letter aireciea tne lord mavor to prepare for death, as he had been doomed. Two hours before the lord mayor was murdered Constable Murtag of the Royal Irish constabulary was shot dead in the street. His body was rid dled with bullets. Tho lord mayors body, draped In the Sinn Fein volunteer uniform, lies in his residence, which is guarded by volunteers. The body will lie in state in the city hall from tonight until Monday, when a public funeral will be held. Thus far the identity of the mur derers has not becn discovered, nor has any motive for the crime been assigned.

Not since the attempted asspssination of Viscount French, lord-lieutenant qf Ireland, has any Irish outrage of the scores perpetrated caused such a sensation throughout the united kingdom as the .murder of Lord Mayor MacCur tain of t;ork. Reports from Cork indicate that the people decline to attribute the affair to the Sinn Fein, and already there is talk of reprisals, which, as some put ii, may affect the whole country. The MacCurtain tragedy comes on the heels of sinister rumors of a Hinn Fein plot for another, revolution in Ireland at Easter time. If such a plot exists, it is pointed out, the mur der of one of the Sinn Fein leaders would -not tend to throw water on the fires of conspiracy. At the mo ment the whole affair remains a sen sational and dark mystery. COAST AUTO LINE PLANNED Service to Be Inaugurated From Coos Bay to San; lYancisco.- NORTH BF.ND, Or., March 20. (Special.)
