Oregon has returned from New

Mr. Miller says that while it has
not been decided whether or not to

the Interstate Commerce commis

Washington Lumber Manufactur

ed to ask for an extension of time
placing the new rates on lumber
into effect.
The commission ordered the
rates effective by the 15th of
August, but the railroad people
will request to have this date
changed to (Yctolier 15, on the
ground that it will be impossible
to have the new tarriff sheets pre

decision practically restores the
rates on lumber in effect prior to
