to all ooncerned. Mw
The rat on lumber between Portland I
and California was raised from IS. 10
to IB last fall by. the Southern Pacific
for two reason. One was that the 3.10
tariff was not a remunerative on ao-
cording to th comptny's statement an-1
other waa that the ahinmenta of lum
ber were so sreat that a car shortsaelw
was caused and some diminution of the I
demand wss desired. . When the Port-1
land rate was raised the interior rate I
was left at. IS.10 and local lumber men
cured the water supply of Port
land, passed the house today.
"This Is one of the very best
. things that has been 'done for
Portland by congress for many
years." said Mayor Williams this
. morning, when shown The Jour

stating that the Bull Run forest
reserve bill had paaaed th house.
