MORE REVENUE REQUIRED
Lumber Shipments Chief Source of
Company's Income, but Passen
ger Charges Also Increased.
SALEM, Or., March 20. (Special.)
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. Hmio feet; Baker and McEwen,
i'-.UO; Baker and Sumpter, J3.50: Ba
ker and Inarch. $3 70; Baker and Whit
ney, $4.35; Baker and flifford, $4.50;
Baker and Tipton, I4.X0; Baker and
Austin, 55.35, and Baker and Dixie,
$5.75. Passenger' fares are increased
from four to five cents a mile.
Inrrraxrd V. cr Demanded.
"The record involved in the adop
tion of the new tariff," says the or
der, disclosed that in the fall of the
year 1918 an increa.-e in wages of the
employes of the Sumpter Valley Kail
road company amounting to about
$24,000 per annum over those there
tofore prevailing was proposed by the
United States hoard of mediation and
conciliation and by the L'nited States
department of labor.
"The company being financially un
able to pay the proposed increases,
a strike followed, and the road
ceased operation temporarily. There
after, through an allowance on certain
shipments of li.-mher. the railroad ad
ministration provided a fund to off
set this increase in wages, but this
allowance ceased at the end of fed
eral control on February L'9. 1!I20.
although the increased wage scale
still continues in effect.
"The record also disclosed that the
financial and operating conditions
of the railroad company have not im
proved sinre .November 1. 191S, (but,
on the contrary, are worse.

Passenger Itafen Higher.
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 new order will become effect

IDKN'TITY OF ASSASSIN AND
HIS MOTIVK UXKXOWX.
Letter Received by Lord Mayor Di
recting Him to Prepare for
Death Was Thought Joke.
CORK, IRELAND. March 20. 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. It Is held that the crime
could not have been committed by
Sinn Feiners against one of their own
number, and many residents of Cork
are expressing fear of reprisals which
may affect all Ireland.
The murder of MacCurtain followed
an attempt Thuzsday night against
the life of Professor Stockley, who
was an alderman in the Ccrk 'corpo
ration in the Sinn Fein interests.
LONDOX. March 20. 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.
