Th«* Portland lumber interests,
under th«- guim- of charging the
Southern Pacific com ¡»any with dis
crimination in rate« on lunilier to
California in favor of lumber manu
facturer» in the Willamette valley,
are in reality making another effort
to destroy thelumlier industry along
the .Southern Pacific line» south of
Portland. Not only is the Willamette
valley interested, but also the
Umpqua and Rogue River valleys.
The same tactics were resorted to
by them in 1907 in a hearing before
the Interstate Commerce commission
over the Willamette valley-California
rates, at which time they demanded
that the commission give them th«-
same rales a» th«* valley, and also
when lhev got th«* commission to
grant them a preferential rate of
cents per KM) pounds to Utah, when
previously the rat«*» from the valley
were th«* same.
It is the old cry of the Portland
lumtM*r interests whose articl«*» in
the Portland Evening Tel«?gram show
conclusively a disposition to be not
satisfi««*! with th«* advantages they
already have, but demand further
concessions in order that no one else
shall be allow«««! to have even a fair
chance to compete with them That
the time has arrive«! for the mer
chants, lumi*er manufacturers, far
mer» and residents of the Willamette
valley and Southern Or«*gon to take
some action to protect their interests
ia quite evident, as unmistakable,
efforts are being made to kill the
lumber industry in the territory
south of Portland
