L Lewis The reductions in freijrht rates on dried fruits an nounced yesterday by the railroads mean much to Ore gon and all western fruit growers, C. I. Lewis, of the Oregon Growers' Cooperative association, said last night when apprised of the decision of the railroads. "At the Yakima conference called by the interstate commerce commission there was a feeling that rates would be reduced," said Mr. Lewis. "When on the stand I told the conference that $1.66V was an unfair rate on dried fruit as compared with fresh fruits, and that this was particularly true of dried prunes, which are not per ishable and therefore should not be subjected to the same charges that are put on fresh fruit. "I think the cost of production can be reduced 20 per cent this year, and this with the reduction in rates to-many growers means the difference between profit and loss." CHICAGO, May 24. Reductions of freight rates on cer tain commodities approximating 20 per cent have been de cided on by all trans-continental' railways west of Chicago. It was announced today by G. W. Luce, freight traffic man agerfof the Southern Pacific railway. ( Among the items on which reductions are proposed arje dried fruits and canned salmon, beans and peas and con 'densed' milk. Dried fruit in boxes would be reduced from $1.6$l& a hundred to $1.25; in sacks, from $2 to $1.45. Canned Salmon would be re duced! from $1.16 to 95 cents a hundred and condensed milk and other; canned 'goods from $1.20 to $lu5- Heductlons on westbound prod ucts jilso i are proposed by the road and permission for those re ductions alao will be asked of tbe. con mission. The reduction in freight rai3 decided upon today will affect all transcontinental carriers. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. May 24.
