I s u e s raised by the West Coast Lumber Man ufacturers' association, the Hammond Lumber company and other interveners in a supplemental bearing in the case of Anson, Gilkey & Hurd Co. and oth ers against northwestern railroads are not decided by a supplemental report Issued by the Interstate commerce coin mission. Pacific coast lumbermen contended that, m cancelling Joint through rates on sash and doors te points in eastern trunk line territory, the railroads have established rates that are unreason able. This is a question, the commis sion says, that cannot properly be de cided in the pending proceeding. The large question as to differentials on sash, doors and blinds over the lum ber rates, and whether such a differ ential should be flat or graduated, is a matter raised in generaf investiga tion now under way. the commission points out, and will not be finally de cided until this investigation is fin ished. The supplemental order Just issued Is the result of a motion by the plain tiffs In the case, who have lumber mills in Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois, seeking to compel the northwestern roads to file tariffs adjusting rates on sash and doors from the l"aclfic coast. The commission sustains this motion to the extent of requiring rates to be filed within 00 days to remove certain discriminations found to exist at Chicago, such rates to hold good only until the commission makes its findings in the general investigation dealing with sash and door as com pared with lumber rates.

It applies, to all fruit, canned, bottled or preserved, from this or other neutral countries having an ordinary market in Great Britain, with the unimportant exception of currants. A copy of the new British regula tions submitted to Senator Chamber lain by the state department shows (that fruits shipped or paid for by March 13 will be admitted, and it is stated that after October 31 the re strictions win be lifted enough under special license to admit not more than half the quantities imported last year. Because of the effect upon Oregon fruit, the Portland Chamber of Com merce has added its voice to thesro test, but these protests are likely to be unavailing, the right" to prbhiblt im portations being unquestioned.

As usual, he then demanded his money in gold. Stevenson was last seen here Thurs day. A deposit slip shows he put $2910 in a Portland bank last Friday.

A wound over the eye from a blunt Instrument leads the officers investi gating to suspect that he was assault ed on the train, and probably thrown from the vestibule. Coroner Shaw today took charge of Stevenson s cabin to prevent invasion by those seeking to uncover hidden treasure. Trainmaster Olson, of train 318 .which left Seattle for Spokane on Fri day or Saturday, after questioning members of the train crew today, re ported that no such man as Stevenson ihad been noted as a passenger on that train. Doors and vestibules to the steel train had been closed, he said, j before the train pulled out of Ravens- dale, Bib Were Crushed. Stevenson's ribs on his right side were crushed and his right arm broken above the elbow. The belief is strong among those in vestigating the case that the man was attacked for the purpose of robbery by someone knowing of his periodical trips to Seattle and Portland to de posit money. There Is nothing about the situation to Indicate suicide, al though this Is a possibility. As the train was vestibuled. the man's death could scarcely have been accidental Known at Local Bank.
