303 WASHINGTON STREET, CORNER FIFTH
"Stlnklbus buglbus" Is his name In
the canine Uatln of youth. Turning
to the pages of scientific lore, how
ever. It Is found that he Is known
by the more ponderous cognomen of
"Nomlus pygmaeus. carabld." But It
don't make any difference what his
name Is or what the Latin language
does in Its attempt to hide his Identity,
the people of Portland have met him
during the past few days and he has
taken possession. Taking a little lib
erty once again It might be truthfully
said that "he has came, he has smelled
and he has conquered." It Is the
"gtlnkbug" that Is under consideration.

From the Cl,lr;;o Record.
Western railroads huve determined to
contest In the courts the decision of the
interstate commerce commission In the
new famous lumber rate cases. This
cecislun was riiched after several con
ferences held in the office of J. C.
Stubbs. traflic director for the Harrl
man lines.
The decision of the commission is said
to be a "straddle" ami the t.af.'ic men
representing the railroads do not hesi
tate to declare th:it Hi budv male a
"botch" job of it. The decision is like
wise net altogether pleasing to the lum
ber Interests of the northwest
The railroads pruposed Increased rates
of approximately 10 cents per 100
pounqs on lumber from the producing
territories of tne northwest to the Mis
souri rivef and the territory to the east.
The cornnrlsslon spilt tha Increase In
some cajtoa and re.f0.eed ta permit it In
others. AccorOliig to the rail read man,
the commission apparently undertook to
perform the funcU&n of traffic dffoials
and thereby exceeded Its Jurisdiction.
Appeal Xa naaaed.
It Is. therefore, purpeaed to appeal to
the 1,'nlted 6tatea courts for an lujuno
tlon restraining the commission from
enforcing the rate preacribe.l by It. The
suit will bring to the front Important
questions of Jurisdiction in so far as the
commission is cotuerned and will re
sult In a Judicial decree aa to powers
assumed by the commission.
It Is the railroad view that the com
mission unlawfully undertook to pre
scribe and outline territories In which
lumber-producing districts may eell
their pnducts and to keep them out of
other prescribed terrlleries. Thla waa
accomplished bv so arranging the differ
entials as to make II impossible fcr
lumrn-r producers to market their
product seyond certain limits

the commission p' rmlts the railroads
to post their tariffs nt certain speci
fied st.'itlons In carrying out the pro
visions of the Hetdiurn act jth iv

law rriiiires the tariffs to la posted
in a conspicuous phtce at every rail
road stitlon arid at every place whero
a ticket Is Hold or wl , re freight Is re
ceived for shipment. In trying to
czrry out this provision the railroads
found it almost i physh "l Imniwul
biMtv. The cost ar 1 the work or pre
paring the tariffs for posting was al- j
:uost prohibitive. I
CaJl Law Opprecslve.
Application was m'de to the com
mission for relief, a-d H wis shown!
that the law was unnecessarily op
pressive In this resfeet. The commls
slon became convinced that Mi" general
public would obtain no benefit by hav
ing complex rate tariffs posred In ev-!
erv little railway station. The average
Individual would know less after liav- (
lng read and Investigated a freight tar-;
Iff than lie doeS after he has searched
a railway g-ulde.
This fact was recognized by the com- j
mission, whb h has undertaken to des- I
Ignate the cities In which the railroads i
can post their tariffs !n compllanco ;
with ihu l.nv. The I.nke Sine,., for,

TTrree jjaajre Bates.
In New York E. P. Ripley, president
of tha Santa Fe road, has reiterated
statements regarding the necessity
from a railroad standpoint of Increas
ing freight rate. Mr P.in dolre
that most of the American mllrea?a I
are mere make-believe roads, which
need bulidlng and improving, and the
expenditure of millions for safety de
