Salem. Of., Mar Jl. In support of ihe efforts ' being' pot forth by the " Oregon publlo service commission to require the O-W. II. Sc N. railroad to absorb branch line freight charges on apples shipped from points on the Hood Kiver or "Great Southern railroads to eastern market, C. A. Malboeuf, sales manager for the Dufur Orchards Co-Owners company, points out some "Of the , inequalities which now exist between Oregon and Washington districts. There already exists, as you know. says Malboeuf In a letter to the com mission, "a material , rate discrimina tion as between points on the Union Pacific' Yakima . branch, on the one hand, and points on the Union Pacific main line In The Dalles-Hood River group, to points west of the Missouri river, Inclusive, and north of the Okla homa state line. That difference com monly prevails to the . extent of five cents per 100 pounds. .Now adding; to that handicap, the Great Southern ar bitrary i of approximately 10 1-3 cents per 100 pounds, the difficulty of meet ing- both commercial and transporta tion competition with the Washington districts, like Yakima and Wenatchee, as the buying; trade demands, Is Imme diately demonstrated. '"This Ineqallty In rate application Is particularly hmrd to conceive since the Yakima to Omaha rate via the Union Faclflo is, as a basis, 85 cents per 100 pounds, while the Hood River-Dalles rat to same territory Is i9 cents per 100 pounds, notwithstanding; that the distance from Hood Rlver-The Dalles Is less than the distance from North Yakima on the Union Pacific. "Apple producers on branch lines have the further burderv-of added rates on box snooks, spray materials, paper for wrapping-, graders and other me chanlcal implements, etc Dealing with our own properties this gross freight exist over the. main line basis, repre sents In. the packed apples not less than SO cents per 100 'pounds, or about 10 cents per box.

Lovett. director of the division of capital ex penditures of the United States railroad administration, draws a distinct line between building railroad extensions for the purpose of tapping spruce timber belts and building such extensions lor the purpose of tapping grain and live stock producing districts. This is brought out in Mr. Lovett's reply to Congressman Sinnott, who for warded to him Publlo Service Commis sioner Corey's letter, urging the govern ment to build 30 miles of railroad neces sary to connect Burns, Harney county, with the Oregon A. Eastern railroad. Mr. Lovett says: "There is an extraordinary demand now for capital, materials and labor .for war purposes, and such at are available for railroad Improvements must be used at this time to. facilitate Indispensable transportation. It .would be most detri mental to the public interest to divert the use of these to other less urgent objects. The proposed 1 extension does not seem to be needed for any war pur noses or to be demanded by any suf ficient economic necessity to Justify its construction ajt this time. "I note that Commissioner Corey uses as an argument that the government is to extend the- Southern Pacific com pany's line from Yaquina to Newport, to make It possible to market spruce timber. This Is an entirely dtfferent matter, as you are doubtless aware of the Importance of obtaining spruce In connection with the production or air planes for war use." By J. W. T. llasoa New York, May . U. P.) Oeneral Foch is holding the German advance on both flanks, while Von Hlndenburg con tinues to move forward slowly In the center. There is thus being created a dangerous salient that-' will compel the Germans to protect their newly length ened lines by an unusually large num ber of troops, which they can ill afford Reestabllshment of the French J root protecting Rheims and the continued holding of the outlets from Solssons by French units are the most important de velopments of the past 24 hours. The Germans must secure full possession of Solssons, and especially " RheimsTwlth their immediate environs. If Von Hlnden burg is to find any reasonable degree of security for his new lines. As long as General Foch can hold his present post tions on these wings, the Germans must rest very uneasily. Von' Hlndenburg's advance northwest of Solssons Is not in Immediate relation ship with the Marne offensive. It Is new local drive along a front of not more than five miles and Is 25 miles north of the German wedge moving to ward the Marne. A German success northeast of Solssons. beyond Bleran court and Epagny, would carry Von Hlndenburg In the direction of Com piegne. At Complegne the Alsne flows Into the Oise river, which later runs southward to the Seine and tp Paris. If Von Hlndenburg can reach Complegne he win be In a favorable position to se cure control of the Alsne west of Sols sons for a new defensive line. This is probably the ultimate strategic purpose of the Blerancourt-Epagny movement. The situation now facing General Foch In its essential strategy Is the same, as that which he met during the Picardy Flanders offensive.. He can stop . the German advance any time he desires, by throwing in the major part of his re serves and the American troops now In France.

The date for the wedding has not been set as yet. but It Is stated But. to do this, would be to I that it will occur soon quietly. That the Municipal Fish Market Is a public necessity and htat an emergency exists whereby the conservation of food Is uppermost Is the declaration of Depu ty City Attorney Tomlinson. who is pre paring the city's answer to the injunc tion suit, the first stage of which re sulted In the overruling of the city's de murrer by Circuit Judge Kavanaugh. I will accept the gauge of the legal battle as laid down by Judge Kava naugh and show that a read emergency exists and that the continuance of the public fish market Is Important ns a means of food conservation." said Tom linson. Included In the contentions to be made in the city's answer are: That the Municipal Fish market has demonstrated its value by forcing down prices of fish : That the Increased consumption of fish means conservation of meats ; That large quantities of fish which private dealers formerly threw away be cause they did not want to bear down the prices of the better class of fish, have been saved by the city market : That the reduced cost of fish tends to better living conditions of the people, thereby tending to decrease the likeli hood of strikes by Industrial workers. "1 am to make the city's answer to the suit "horse high and pig tight' and am confident of the outcome of the trial upon the merits of the case," de clares Tomlinson.
