GOVERNOR HUGHES
Of New York, who has just
knocked out race track gambling. He
was prominent as a candidate for pres

mediately congratulated Taft, telling

are that he will not be elected at all.

LUMBERMEN
WIN OUT
Washington. June 19. Pacific Coast
lumber manufacturers win almost
every poinr in their contest before tho
interstate Commerce Commission of
the advance in rates ordered last Fall.
With only two dissentients, it orders
restored the former rates from the
Pa:ific coast to Missouri river points
and from Willamette valley points to
San Francisco.
In its decision in tho Western Ore
gon lumber manufacturers' case, the
commission decides that tho advanced
rate of $5 per ton from all mills in
the Willamette valley, not including
Portland, is unjust and unreasonable;
that from mills upon the east bank and
upon the west bank, south of Corvallis,
the rate should not exceed 17 cents per
100 pounds, or 3:40 per ton, and that
from points upon the west bank uorth
of Corvallis the rate should not exceed
$3.65 per town.
No reduction is made in the rate from
Portland, since shippers from that point
have the benefit of the water rate and
are not dependent upon rail carriers for
reaching the San Francisco marKet.
A somewhat different conclusion is
reached with respect to rates applying
to the territory lying east of the Mis
sjuri river. Part of the increase madi
by carriers to more distant markets
lying east of the Missouri river is per
mitted to stand. The maximum in
crease authorized to Eastern territory,
however, is 5 per cent per 100 pounds
over the old rates.
R. R. COM.
AT LYONS.
President T. K. Campbell and Clyde
Atchison, and their stenographer, of
the R. R. Com., went to Lyons this
morning. Mr. West, being before the
U, S. court in Portland as a witness in
some case, was unable to go. Hon. J.
K. Weatherford also went to the same
place.
The cause: The people at Lyons want
a new depot and an agent, nnd the Com
missioners will hfcar what the reasons
are for it. Three stores are claimed
for the place. The Corvallis and East
ern has never put an agent in because
of the small amount of business, and
hence opposing the request. The mat
ter win oe tought out before the commission.
Toledo will celebrate the 4th of July,
the grandest ever held in Lincoln coun
ty. Otto Krogstad will read the dec
laration and Judge Swope orate. $200
will be given in contests.
At the Metropolitan.
You can get a big variety of things,
always the freshest in fish and bivalves,
a fine lot of canned goods, strawber
ries, the freshest in vegetables.
Everything the neatest and cleanest
and the freshest.'
