pany, according to a letter sent to the
Nevada commission by the Oregon
commission. The Oregon commission
protested against the increase before
it was granted on the ground that re
lief could be obtained for the express
company by making a spilt of 45 per
cent of the gross receipts to the rail
roads and 55 to the express company,
instead of the 60-50 basis now used.
The removal of the differential from
the transcontinental freight rate on
Willamette valley lumber by the Inter
state commerce commission affects the
marketing of 45,500.000,000 feet of tim
ber from national forests alone. As
the differential varied from 6 to 13
cents a thousand feet and was in addi
tion to the coast rate, it made com
peting with Portland, Columbia river
and Puget sound lumber interests Im
possible. All lumber south of Port
land to Lowell, just south of Eugene,
is now accessible to the market, at
the same rate of freight into territory
east of the Rocky mountains as lum
ber orlElnatlpg at or north of Portland.
