AN IMPORTANT
LUMBER TARIFF
Joint Sheet That Opens Up
New Territory.
' A new, Joint tariff sheet. In which the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern,
the Spokane Falls & Northern end the
Burlington 4 Missouri River lines are all
interested,' has made. Its appearance. It
names carload rates 6n lumber, shingles
and coal' from points on the Spokane
Falls 'A' Northern and the Great North
ern, In the vicinity of Spokane, to points
In Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming
and Colorado. ,
The rates named are the same as those
which have heretofore been In effect "from
Northern Pacific points only and in ter
ritory 'round about Spokane via Bill
lugs, Mont The new tariff rate sheet
opens to the territory described a great
ly enlarged market for the lumber and
coal Interests of the territory hitherto
exclusively enjoyed by the Northern Pa
cific. The importance of this move is
much greater than would appear at first
blush. The rates range from 35 to 55
cents per hundred, dependent upon point
of origin and final destination, Involving
either a. longer or a shorter haul.
The lumber and coal Interests of the
great Northwest will, by means of the
new arrangement, find an outlet Into ter
ritory hitherto sealed to them, and can
not help but become Immensely benefited
thereby.
