July 21 Is the date set by . the Interstate
commerce j?r)mmlssipn tor nearing xne
, Cblumblariver rate case. The hearing
will be held in Portland at the court
house.
' Thfc .petitions of the Inland Empire
Shtpders' league and of the port and
business bodies of Portland wilt be heard
Jointly, according to telesra'phlc advices
. received this morning both by Dr. C. J.
Smith, president of the Inland Empire
r ShioDers' learue and . Joseph N. . Teal
and W..C. McCulloch, counsel for the
v Portland interests. 5
"It ls also anticipated that a member
-of ths Interstate commerce 'commission
will hear the case rather than the com
merce "xaminer Ordinarily sent:, by the
commission to represent it.
At the time j of the hearing Vancouver
and Clarice county. Wash., will appear
n-intervener friendly to the con
tenUons of the Inland Empire shippers
and Portland: Spokane will appear as a
. neutral Intervenor. asking for the Inland
Empire " metropolis, the benefit of any
orders that may , be, .Issued as " conces
sion s to Poruana s , petition.
' The" Inland Empire Shippers' league
asks that the interstate, commerce com'
mission recognise the water grade route
of the Columbia river by granting a rate
based-or the cost of transportation
Portland's petition is that -the- rate
- between Portland and, the Inland Empire
be made less than between 'Pug'et Sound
and the , Inland Empire, pleading the
well known fact that the -cost of trans
portation via the water grade is sub
- stantlally less than via the hazardous
- and steep mountain routes.
- National ; Interest f wOl' be given the
. trial of the rate issue. The recognition
of the Columbia water grade will con
stitute a precedent In which every-other
" , shipping point" having' the advantage of
water grade location will have direct in
terest. Likewise, the cost of transporta
- tlon has never directly entered Into the
scheme of rate making, but-competitive
influences have. ruled directly in fixing
t charges for the transportation of freight.
'Whenvl was In Washington recently
, it was practically decided that one , in
terstata commerce -commissioner, . and
possibly,- three; would preside over - the
hearing at the Multnomah county court
house at JO a- nw July 8X," said former
.Governor Oswald West, counsel for the
Inland ? Empire Shippers ; Jeague "It
is an issue In which members of the in
terstate' commerce commission take the
keenest. Interest and I believe they would
' an me to near it ir possible."
Rallreads of the country and particu
isrlyof the Northwest, have a lively
concern in tne outcome of the case and
