Principle Is Laid Down in Report

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 ,
