(Weeblnctae Boms ef TO Jeerse! Washington, March X. By tha faets stated by the Northern Paclflo Railroad company at Chicago in the Bpokane rate case hearing, the government believes It can prove that the company is striving to Justify the imposition, of freight rates to pay annual interest oa gifts to the road by the people. As aa Instance of the railroad's lame attempt to show that It has ao watered stock. It is cited that its , attorneys argued before the Interstate oommerce commission that it should receive inter est on 17.090.000 or, terminal property In Spoken. Tet this terminal property vii given free to the railroad company by the citizens of Bpokane. The latest revelations in connection with the Bpokane cai justify the asser tion that the cause has taken on an Im portance, far transcending that of the freight rat -to any particular elty. As a matter of fact, tn wnoie ques tion of watered stock has been raised an tha Mntemnlated eambalan against I . s spurious flotations has been precipi-1 inraklng tne state zor eviaenoe m am Uted by the railroad's counsel by tneir methods . of the teiepnone omciaie, attitude at Chicago. r eampalgna to give- again., men have raised their donations from 150 to ttOO and others have raised their former gift of 11.00. to 110,00 and all the mailer subscribers have don what they could.

W have nothing up our sleeve now and very dollar that la In on the cards has been reported. We have only the peo ple of Portland left now and no big subscriber ready to come top . the whole work off so far know." The Northern Paclflo company asse; In substance: That capitalisation of the road Is tm.000,000; that It wouW cost !!0.00,000 to reproduce theproperty now held by the corporation! that the eompany'a property Is In this form snd of this value nine great terlmnala, land only, 7,000.000yrlght of way for remaining system.

The commissioners were somewnat ataa-e-ered at first, when the railroad counsel hurled these figures at them In the hearing. It was Intensely Interest ing and Instructive, Its showing that the terminal were valued at two ana a nan tlmea the price of a right of way from the great lakes to the Paclflo ocean. But. when Inquiry was maae or tne counsel for the Northern Paclflo aa to the details ef the staggering showing, light began to dawn and the apparent mathematical victory or to corporation lawyer waa turned into a mere juggling with naures and IB weakness .ox.tn lmbaNftr'4fcaUkn wa ahown.
