The officials of tho James J. HU1 lines In Oregon, the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company ,are to be called before the Oregon Railroad Commission at no distant date and asked why their schedule of passenger rates between certain points on the line exceed the maximum of S cents a mile, which. Is pronounced "unreasonable, unjustly discriminatory and excessive." The Railroad Commission, after a careful atudy of the schedulea of pas senger rates In effect on the line of the Astoria & Columbia River road, finds that where the traffic comes in competition with water rates, particu larly between Portland and Astoria and In Intermediate points, the rate is i cents a mile, but that the bare be. tween Astoria and Seaside, a distance of 18 miles, is 75 cents, or at the rate of over 4 cents a mile, and the com mission Is of the opinion thaf the J cent maximum rate should be observ ed. The company officials will be no tified of this decision and given a chance to be heard in the matter on probably May 21, the second regular meeting day of the commission, at 10 o'clock In the morning at Salem.
