Ap- pears Before State Railroad Com mission as Representative of Med ford Commercial Club. I. Lang, of tho Medford Grocery Co., appeared before the state rail road commission Thursday at Salem as tho representative of the Medford Commercial club's freight rate com mittco and proved the best informed witness of the hearing. He brought out the club's contention that lower carload rates were essential to build ing up a jobbing center. Ho was armed with a mass of statistics. While the first-class rate may be fair, he declared that the difference between tho first and second-class rates is not proportionate. He con tended that cn equitable rate would be based on the graduated tariff es tablished by the Washington state commission uid recently ordered in effect on the O. R. & N. Improved Equipment. R. Koehler. general purchasing agent of the Southern Pacific, stat ed that sinco the year 1893 the Southern Pacific company has made remarkable improvements in its right of way and equipment, in that at the time there were no steel rails between the towns of Tangent and Roseburg; the bridges between Portland and Ashland were wooden; 19 miles of trestle work has been filled in tho past eight years; embankments have been widened from 14 to 16 feet, and in place of tho comparatively light equipment, new and heavier engines and cars havo been installed. Mr. Koehler was then asked why were class rntes lower in 1893 than they were at the present date, and ho said special circumstances was tho principal cause, among them be ing the competition with tho O. R. & N. N In connection with tho competition fight, tho witness stated that a great amount of tenming was being earned on, especially between Cor vallis and Eugene. Mr. Koehler said tho first competition occurred in 1881, and continued until tho Oregon Notice Tho old established Medford Bakery and Delicatessen havo again resumed business with now men, better goods, prompt service.

MARY'S ACADEMY TO SECURE LECTURER People of Medford to Be Given an Opportunity to Learn All About Radium at an Early Date. Pacific road wns sold to A. B. Ham mond in 1S9C. Lower Rate Demanded. Mr. Koehler was asked whether or not the rcmarknhle increase in the population of Portland since 18S0 would not tend to increase the earn ings of tho Southern Pacific in the Willnmctte valley, and thus give the public the benefit of a lower rnte. He admitted that traffic had in creased sinco that time greatly, but he thought this could be partly ne countcd for by the advanced effi ciency of tho road. One of the points brought out at the investigation into class rates on tho Southern Pacific by tho state railroad commission was that not withstanding the population of the Willamette valley increased in the past 20 years from three to five fold, the rates nro higher now than they were two decndc3 ago. This was shown by a report of tho O. R. & N". company mado to a committee of the legislature in 1S89. Tho commission plnccd in evidence 11 exhibits, showing a comparison of class rates out of Omnha. Kansas City, St. Paul, Senttlo and Salt Lake with these on the Southern Pacific. New Suits Filed. J. T. Prall vs. Fred Marshall Ac tion for possession of real property; A. E. Reames for plaintiff.
