10 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. FRIDAY, APRIL IS, 1919. no Ui ERATH! COSTS G OVER FREIGHTS SAYS COMMISSION Principle Is Laid Down in Report ; Made by Examiner Mackley in y North Dakota Rate Case'.". SUPPORTS COLUMBIA "CLAIM t , ' Contention Expected to React to Benefit of River Haul Rates Now 'Pending Before. I. C. C. Washington' April 18. (WASHING TON BUREAU OB" THtf JOURNAL) Shipper on branch lines cannot expect equal .rate with; main lines, even when they serve the same general common territory, where the branch line shows less traffic density and less favorable coats of ' operation. This principle Is laid down In a tentative report made to the interstate commerce commission by Kxamlner Mackley after consideration of a case brought by the railroad com mission of North ; JDekota against the Northern Pacific. Emphasis upon higher costs of opera tion due to natural conditions In this case the frequency of washouts Is com ing to bo affirmed by the commission and is held to give support to the argu ment that If higher rates are to be Justi fied because of higher costs of opera tion, where distance Is practically the same, differentials may be upheld in favor of lower rates' where operating costs are favorable as against mountain hauls for longer distances, as in the cases, now pending involving the Colum bia river haul. v i In the North Dakota, case the com mission's examiner says In part: "The contention of the complainant seems to rest primarily upon the broad ground that the rates from branch lines should bo equalized with the rates, for equal distances on the main line,' be cause both the main and branch lines serve a common general territory, where competition between elevators Js keen and where the commercial ncesslty is accordingly for an equalization of rate. "This view takes no account of the lesser density of traffic on the branch line and the less favorable conditions of operation to which the defendant refers upon this record. Speaking specifically of the.Kildeer branch the defendant re fers to the fact that 11 follows the Mis souri river for ouite a distance and Is difficult to maintain because of wash outs at certain seasons of the year. . " "There is no requirement of the act that branch line rates, regardless of dli ferences in conditions of transportation, shall -not ! exceed the contemporaneous rates for equal distances on the main line, -c The' commission has .frequently recognised the propriety of such a dif ference in rates." " ; Slight , Changes in Train Service for Coos Bay Possible v Marshfleld, April 18.John M. Scott, general passenger Agent for the Souths era Pacific railroad, who is visiting on Coos bay, expects to ;be able 'to-' offer slight changes In the service from Coos Bay to Portland early in May. A night train, which was desired, is out of the question, Mr. Scott says, but the outgo ing train - will probably leave an hour earlier ? which wilt put passengers - in Portland at o'clock in ; the evening, Instead ft 9 o'clock, and a little more tir will be given the-incoming' passen gers, at' Eugene, where a. change of trains is made. Mr. Scott says these slight changes are all that can possibly be made at this time. . r - , Tractors Will Be Used to Traverse Sands of Pribolof Washington. April 18. (I. N. a) American built caterpillar tractbrs are now befog Shipped to the Pribolof islands where they will be used for pulling loaus of 'fats and other valuable products of these" far' north regions over the four miles of sand, which have to be traversed to the nearest shipping point.- Secretary of Commerce ' Redfleld announced today. The tractors are being transported on the steamer Roosevelt, which will bring back a cargo of seal bones. Dlds for 200,000 tons of seal bones were Opened last week and it was an nounced today, that , the government r-ould receive not less than 814 per ton." Secretary Redfleld explained that money received for seal bones was practically all "velvet." One deposit alone is known to be more than a mile and a half long ard seven feet deep. The Roosevelt also is carrying grinders and the bones will be converted into fertilizer before shipment. , - s , MRS.
