In a decision by the Interstate com
merce commission on the contested lum
ber rate cases affecting the lumbering
industry in the Pacific northwest. lum
ber manufacturers believe they have
scored a victory carrying enormous re-
suits to the lumber trade in the aggre
gate, over the region between Pacific

benefits extend to Chicago, but partlc

Within the territory described the old
rail rates have - been- practically -restored,
and It is believed that when the

there will be some reductions even from
the old rate in territory between the

"We have rat what mi anlroA tnrtram

president of the Oregon and Washing

"The old rates are restored to Missouri
river territory and there are, we be
lieve, some slight reductions made in
part of the territory between the Mis

dently believing that Portland should

"The effect. of the decision will not

accrued to summer business, as there
has been a fa Ulna- off of bulldlnr o Der

there, are large stocks of lumber on

"Our mill last week laid off one-half
of its force, and will not Immediately
resume manufacturing on a large scale.

The rate on lumber from Willamette

It to $5. The appeal to the commission

you can't put It too strongly, that Cap
tain Babcock dld everything In his

to Portland as pleasant as possible for
everybody on board, and it Is my opin
ion that the men who are said . to be
preparing ' a complaint to forward ' to
waahinrton were accorded every privi
lege to which they were entitled and
even more as Captain Babcock Is so
accommodating that he often stretches
the rules of the transport service 10
oblige Ws- passengers.
' Makes ; rurther - Denial. -
The foregoing is a statement from
L. T. RusselL of 764 Williams avenue.
who was a passenger on tbe Sherman
and knows Captain Babcock intimately,
Mr.- Russell is an employe In .the engi
neering corns of the army and has been
stationed , in Manila and Corregldor
Island lor the oast two years, lit nas
lived In Psrtland for nearly 80 years
and his family still make this city their
home.. , Mr. Russell is spending his va
cation here. He intends to go back to
the Philippines in September. Mr. Rus
sell further said;
The accusation that 'Captain Bab
cock permitted three chorus girls to
take passage on the Sherman and dis
commode old 1 soldiers who were en
titled to. the berths occupied by them
Is misleading and untrue. Transports
carry other passengers than soldiers.
A. soldier is only entitled to army ra
tions ana a ounit Detween aecxs on- me
transports and the armv specifies this.
"Captain Babcock certainly gave all
the soldiers and ex-soldlera who were
passengers on - the Sherman whatever
they were entitled to and in any event
they r.nsuredly Mid not have any right
to rirsi-oiaB accommoaauona
- "The so-called chorus girls were Mrs.
Dlngman, the wife of the chief of the
Manila fire department, and her two
little sisters not out of their teens. The
little girls make their home with their
sisters and as relatives were entitled to
first class accommodations on the Sher
man. ,They came out to the United
States to make their home here. The
chief who will leave the department at
Manila, where he la highly respected,
will Join them as soon as ha can settle
his affairs in the Islands.
' Captain Bid JUI Possible.
"I. mvaelf. was. entitled to a first
class passage fn the Sherman, but the
transport was so crowded on leaving
Manila that I was forced to take sec
ond class accommodations or wait for "a
liner. As the big liners are booked
months ahead of time, I could not do
this, so was glad to take such accommo
dations as I could get. After wo got
to Nagasaki Captain Babcock rearranged
the passengers' berths, making each one
as comfortable- as was possible. You
may get some Idea of jour crowded con
dition by the fact that the little seven
by eight, cabins had to be shared by
three people, making it necessary for
one to use a settee. -,
"I never saw the petition -which Is
said to have been signed by some of th
8 as Angers who wished to complain of
aptaln Babcock's treatment of therm
I heard aDout.it tnougn. ana was toio
bv a ship's clerk that the paper , was

Another man who signed the complaint
I understand, was traveling on soldier's
transportation to which he was not even
entitled, as he was not In the employ of

Aoooraea svery voutmit, :
"The soldiers who are still In the
service and were returning from Manila,
some of them accompanied by their
wives, have no complaint to make.- They
say they were accorded every courtesy
by Captain Babcock. I think you 1 will
have a hard time to find more than a
half dozen disgruntled ones who will
say anything at all against the cap
tain. He is one of the few men In any
service whom I regard as a true typo of
