Although he has spent five weeks of careful study on the Spokane rate case, Mr. Miller aavs that many of his re sults are Impossible to forecast and that it is so big and momentous a thing 4n the history of railroad rates in the West that it ia impossible to fore tell what it may Dring about "I do not know that the carriers In tereated have reached any definite con- elusions with regards to the Spokane rate case," said Mr. .Miner, ' but bo far as our lines are concerned we have petitioned the Interstate Commerce com mission to so modify its order as it will not apply via the O.
