PORTLAND, Ore., July 28. (Unit

public service commission who testi
fied today in the blK Columbia basin
rate case were asked by lawyers from
1'ti get sound cities to explain why they
have intervened on the side Of Co
lumbia river porta In this caae.
The lawyers for the railroad ad
ministration, a defendant, and Heattle
and 'fa co ma brought out that several
years ago the commlsalon approved
the freight rates on products from
the Inland lOmpire to Portland, which
they tire attacking In this case.
The answer of the Orexon officials
was that the commission at that time
did not go fully Into the- matter of

Masses of technical detail were

the Inland Kmpire Shippers League,
of tho Port of Portland, the city of

lower freight rate for Portland than

whereas .Seattle is reached via the
mountains, the Portland rate should
be lower. They argued also that Port

Representatives of the Inland Em
