BIGGS, Burns, Oregon., faot the as MWH O. R. & N. company has been gradually limiting tho territory of Portland shippers and jobbers until now it is practically im possible for them to ship farther cast than Pendleton was the trend of tho testimony before tho Interstate Commerce Com mission, says the Journal. The commission set in the con vention hall of tho Commercial club, Commissioners Edgar A. Clark, F. M. Cockerel!, Judson C. Clements, Charles A. Prouty, Franklin K. Lane. James S. Har lan and Chairman Martin Knapp being present J. G. Woodworth, traffic man ager of the Northern Pacific, was the first witness, his examination being a continuance of one begun in Seattle Saturday. Following him Joseph N. Teal, attorney for the transportation committco of the Chamber of Commerce, called L. Allen Lewis, of the firm of Allen & Lewis, to the stand to sliow the eiroct of tho rate changes in the past ten or fifteen years upon Portland jobbers. Mr. Lewis said that his firm has been in business in Portland GO years. At one time they had been able to distribute goods in Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Cal ifornia and Alaska. Heaaidthat their business at present is con fined to parts of Oregon and Washington, mainly to that sec tion lying west of the Cascades. North of the Snake river, which tne railroads nave tried to nx as a boundry lino between Portland nnd Spokane jobbers, he has been able to do but little busi ness. Ho has kept no traveling men in western Montana and northern Idaho for some time and the only business done in southern Idaho has been that of special brands of goods sold de spite unfavorable rates. "At Huntington, tho dividing point between the O. It. & N. and tho Oregon Short Line," Mr. Lewis said, "the railroads established what was in effect a wall, beyond which wo were un able to do any business. Tlio Portland shippers wore urged by officials of tho O. R. & N. to bring suit to secure rates boyond Huntington, and wo thought then and I still think that this wall was established merely be cause of a quarrel between the O. It. & N. and tho Short Line over tho division of earnings. "For tho past fow years we have had to draw in gradually almost all of our men from out side territory. I consider that so far as our appeals to tho rail roads for hotter distributive rates are concerned tho cflortsof tho past fivo years have been wasted. They have granted us none of our requests, but have kept on taking away our terri tory and limiting tho business that Portland is able to do with tho surrounding country." In reply to a question from Chairman Lane of tho commis sion, Mr. Lewis said that Port land jobbers, so far as ho know, did not ship much east of Pen dleton. Most of tho wholesalers keep branch houses in Pendleton, Baker and other eastern Oregon points. Tho O. R. & N. company and tho Union Pacific aro represented in tho suit by Attorneys W. W.
