SPOKANE REOPENS ITS CONTEST FOR FREIGHT TARIFF ADJUSTMENTS Booklet Tells How to Make Complaints With Proper Bureaus and City Officials 'Application Filed Threatens to Split Open Whole Rate Question Once More, SITUATION IS COMPLEX Aim Zs to Enable Inland Section to Sue eestf ally Comprta with the Coast CltUs. Washington, March 29. Spokane has reopened the lan fight for a freight .rate adjustment that would enable her to compete successfully with coast cities. In a petition filed a few days ago with the Interstate Commerce com mission by the Spokane Merchants' as sociation, a situation is asserted which , virtually seta aside the - advantage gained by Spokane in the famous inter- mountain rate case that was fought for 25 years the closing of the Pana ma canal. This application threatens to split the whole rata situation wide open again after the commission's decision In the intermountain c$ne was thought to hay cemented it for some time to ' come. Because the Panama canal lias been closed, and. as alleged, even If it were open it would probably be two years ' after the close of the war before ves sels will engage in the coast-to-coast traffic, the Spokane association's peti tion asks 'the commission to declare rresent rates from the east to Pacific ' oast points to be unduly discrimina tory against Spokane and other inter mountain territories. It is alleged that at the time the relief was granted competition by water existed between the coasts, which has now disappeared. Canal Is Factor. The petition says: "That since said orders were made ly your honorable commission, condi tions and circumstances have mate- lially changed; that the Panama canal ' is now and for several months has been closed by land slides, so tnat no shipping of any kind is being done through said canal, and your petitioner is informed that said canal cannot be opened , for from one to two years, or, " if opened before, that the passage will le uncertain and unreliable, and can Z2.' not be; depended.-upon. That since fcaid order were made, shipping con T'.dltions have materially changed In . that there is now a great deal more tonnage beine offered for ehlDment ... han can be handled by the said rail road sTS.nl steamship companies and -vthe said-- steamship' companies and '"steamships formerly engaged in the wtraffic from coast to coast because of ;the European war have engaged in p other trade, and even if the said canal was opened at once, because of i-ald boats being engaged In for ?,eign trade, it would not be 'vpossfble for them to engage in the "transportation of merchandise from I : coast to coast for a period, as your -petitioner is informed and verily be- lieves, of from one to two years after v the close of the European war. That ,. ithe particular boat Jtnes engaged la the ?--oaatwise,"-traffle"hftVff- rented' and The department of public works has issued a booklet giving directions to the public for the fillnc of rj"f kinds of complaints with the proper city officials.

Will C, Wood, commissioner of secondary schools, warned school trustees against taking a chance of changing teachers. In the new Blue Bulletin Wood says: "I want to say, Mr. Trustee, that ideal teachers are very scarce. The teacher who can give satisfaction to all the patrons of the district is very hard to find. I know a district that employed 12 different teachers for the same position in 10 years and got a poorer teacher each time it changed." Plans Finished for j Vista House Dance Prooeeds of Affair at Cotillion Hau Will CH to rnsd for the Pioneers' ' Memorial. Old dances and new will be featured at the Vista House ball, to be given next Monday night at Cotillion hall. The proceeds of the event are to be applied to the fund which will help build the memorial to the pioneers at Crown Point. The orchestra will be made up of members of the Portland Musicians" union, who will devote their services as an offering to the memorial. Pro fessor M. M. Rlngler has donated the use of the hall. The affair will be entirely informal and is open to all friends of Vista House and the public generally. Tick ets are now on sale at Sherman, Clay h& Co., Wiley B. Allen.

Federal Judge Bledsoe denied the application of the government for n injunction' against the Southern Pa cific corporation and its subsidiary,' the Kern Trading & Oil company. In the Sunset-Midway oil fields. . The government in Us fraud suits claimed the companies were rushing drilling, and producing operations in order t extract all the oil possible before the suits at bar are decided. Charles R. Lewis, chief counsel for the South--era Pacific, stated that the railroad in using every gallon of oil produoed, in these fields for fuel for its loco motives. ir Portland's share in the national thrift campaign will be officially started In a big way the third week of May. It will begin with a pre sentation of the idea simultaneously In all of the churches on Sunday May 14, which is officially cele brated by the churches as Mother's day throughout the country. The thrift idea will be worked into the sermons, the topics of discus sion at the young people's meeting, in the lessons in the Sunday school, and in some form or other in every religious exercise to be . held on that day. Special Programs Planned. During the week the various com munity, social and business organi zations will make the thrift move ment the feature of the program or their weekly meetings. As prac tically every organization in the city has been given a special task to' carry out, they will have their plans outlined and will make public an nouncement of what tliey expect to accomplish. The foregoinir was the result of the second meeting held at the Cham ber of Commerce. Representatives of the organizations of the city were there which have agreed to take pa.'t In the thrift campaign which will come to a climax about the middle of November. In keeping with the national celebration to be held in New York - city. It is not expected, however, that the movements inau gurated as a part of the campaign will stop at that time. To Continue Work. It is the hope that the organiza tions which have committed them selves to certain definite plans will continue the work they may have be gun and go on with It until it '.$n completed, even If It takes years to accomplish what they set out to do T.

Slides Are Kasvdleap. The slides In the canal, which closed it and the attractive rates offered elsewhere which have practically taken "all the steamships out of cervlce between the coasts, is now given as a reason-to enforce the long and short haul clause of the act. because the competition under which th lower rates to the coast were allowed than to Intermediate points no longer ex ists. It la believed here that the coast cities realize how Important this issus Is to them and how vital It is to their welfare that water service be main tained between the coasts. If it should develop at the hearing that there is no water competition between the coasts and no traffic being han dled, experts say it may be difficult to Justify lower rates to the coast than to Spokane or any other intermediate point. If this should transpire and this condition be maintained for two or three years, they say the effect upon coast 'distribution will be serjpus and under any circumstances there is no question but what there la now confronting the coast cities under the existing situation conditions which cannot be characterised as less than alarming. Mexican Street Car Men Out on Strike Mexico City. March 29. (I. H. 8.) The motortnen. conductors and track and shop workers of the Mexico City Street railroad lines, struck today for ISO per cent increase in wages. The lines ' were tied up during the fore noon. Gendarmes with rifles dispersed the gatherings of ths strikers. A limited service was put Into op eration t noon. . .Troops and armed gendarmes rode on all the carsr . intermediate rates. The Nevada com mission also contends that the compe . tion has disappeared and that there is ' no justification for the continuance of the order. In a recent hearing where the car riers were seeking authority to estab lish a rate of 55 cents per hundred on Iron articles from Pittsburg, the American-Hawaiian Steamship com pany and the Luckenbach Steamship company opposed the granting of the application on the ground that the wa ter rates had increased. The commis sion in passing upon the case pointed cut that conditions had changed materi- ally since the canal was opened, and authorised a 63 cent rate from Pittsburg instead of the 55 cent rate ; that was asked. It therefore appears the situation is becoming more and Ouch! Pain, Pain.

The postal card is dated at Spasskoje. Siberia.
