The inter state commerce commission served no-: Uc on the railroads today that It will authorize no Increase In freight rates unless assured that the companies are Insisting: on full navment for all their services that is to say, that they are performing no services free or for less than the services are worthi . Jhe management must show, as the . commission expressed it, that they are requiring "a reaflonable contribution to their revenues for every service they perform, jind .that. eve$ with this full exaction, their revenues are shrinking." The commission also found fault with , the eastern railroads' rules rela tive to "Industrial lines" short rall , roads or tracks owned by various in- dustries and connecting their plants with 'the regular railroad companies' tracks. Service over these ."Industrial lines," aid the commission, would add mil lions annually to the railroads' In comes "If charged for." "No substantial part of the well in formed, reflecting pubile would deny to the owners of railroads a reason able return on their investments," con tinued the report. "Nevertheless, be fore they . may-fairly ask the general public to share further In currying their burdens, It Is nrunlfest tliat the railroads must themselves properly conserve their sources of revenue by making every service rendered by them contribute reasonably to their earnings." .'This having been done, the commis sion, upon adequate showing of the . iieed, of additional revenue, wilt not shrink from the responsibility of sanc tioning such measures, including even a grneral advance in rates, as may be . required to bring reasonable prosperity to the railroads, so far as this may be accomplished under rates and charges that are reasonably just alike to smP" per ind carriers. "Hut if further burdens, through an -' increased scale of rates, may justly be Imposed on the general public, all must agree that unlawful concessions, rebates and preferences in the Interest of a small proportion of the shipping public o'ught to be eliminated from the practice of the carriers." The commission's ruling was consid ered by experts here as one of the .most important it has made in years. It laid down the principle that ser vice by the railroads beyond a reason- ably convenient terminal was entirely a shipper's service and ought to be charged for as such. The custom of rendering it free was denounced as giving an unfair advantage to concerns owning "industrial lines."

These same three apostles come from King county, "Washington, where good rOads are legion, and are members of the famous White River Orange, which has taken a prominent part In the movement for adequate highways into Seattle. They arrived at 7 o'clock this morn ing and after breakfast with Samuel Hill at the Oregon hotel left at 8:10 o'clock with a party of Portland good roads enthusiasts, headed by Amos Benson, for Mayger and Quincy The Washington men who will tell the residents of Columbia county COMMERCIAL S t ' It had increased the value of their farms, that it made possible the use of motors, that it spared their horses and that it made life easier and more worth while for the farmers them alvwfcv " -. . v - Said Frank Terrace: "This road proposition is one of the greatest prob lems in America; the tariff is a mere bagatelle compared to it. Our roads used to be in a deplorable condition, mud an4 slush so that we could not get through them. For a long time I sat alone advocating for the first mile and a half of road, but I made small progress in getting anything done un til Mr. Hill came around. He saw what we needed and took hold in earnest but it took the farmers in our state eight years to get over the prejudice that he was a railroad man and had some in order that he might draw his salary from the state. Judge Roberto Morrow of the circuit court of Mult nomah county has filed repeatedly with becretary of State Olcott certlfi caies containing sworn statements that the records of Multnomah county and of his own court, department 2 show are not true. A legislative act of 1911 provides that circuit iudres a well natiea before drawing their salaries from the state, must accompany their vouphera witn a certificate stating that no cases penumg before them have been await ing decision more than three months. The act further states that in In stances where attorneys have stipu lated that time for th- derlitlnn mo v be extended, the certificate roust state max raci. rne penalty for the filing of a false certificate is removal from office.

The case is a personal In jury suit of Anna Backstrom against the Portland Railway, Light St Power Co. She was Injured in an accident on Grand avenue two years ago during tne nose festival, when her buccv was struck by a street car. Attorneys for the- defendant com pany, after the suit was filed, Febru ary 14. 1913, filed a motion to dlamla the complaint, on the grounds that two separate elements of damage, the injury to the woman and thn damage to the vehicle, were alleged in one complaint. The motion was argued on the date mentioned, and attorneys ftate that it wan of a nature that It could have been decided from the bench at the conclusion of the argument, and at any rate within a very few days Realltlng the tremendous importance of Alaska's development upon the busi ness of the northwest, the Portland chamber of commerce is about to enter upon a wldeapread legislative cam paign to assure the passage in the house of representatives of Senator Chamberlain's Alaska railroad bill, which Just passed the senate.

Construction of the Alaska railroad, two branches of which are con templated In the bill, would mean, f'rirt of all, an expenditure of approx imately f40.000.000. This would be distributed over the period of con struction at the rate of from 18.000.000 to $16,000,000 per year, depending upon WHILE AWAITING SIGNAL HUERTA FINDS THEM (Cooclsdad en Pif Twelve.
