mittee of Portland Ch amher of Commerce.
A N liWIMOASK in freight nites from Portland to stn--
tions south on the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon
upon interstate .shipments, is announced by Southern Pa
cific tariff No. (K)L effective .July 1. The new rates are
a restoration of old rates in effect prior to February 8,
.15)1 1, when the reductions ordered by the state railroad
commission went into effect. The present rates will be
still in effect for state shipments, but the state railroad
commission has no jurisdiction over interstate business.
Heretofore, the interstate rate to Medford and other
southern Oregon points has been the rate to Portland
from the point of origin plus the local tariff from Portland
to the point of destination. Hereafter it is to be the rate
.Portland plus the, old rate, in Medford's case an avur
age of 20 pur cent higher than the present local rate.
When the new tariff goes into effect it will be cheaper
to consign merchandise to Portland and rebill it from there
to Medford and other points than it will be to consign it
directly to Medford. This will entail no end of trouble
on the part of shippers and give Medford and the various
comnumities black eyes in the shipping world as commer
cial or jobbing centers. It can benefit no one but the Port
laud jobber.

PORTLAND, Or., June 9. Victims
of a fiendish degennte who mistreat
ed Mrs. Rush Hill and her 5-year-old
daughter, Dorothy, after he had

ing ror ttie liend.
The murders were committed with
a huudnxe which the slayer stole
from the house of n man who lived
near the Hills.
Mrs. Hill was the divorced wife of
James Rintoul, well known newspa
per man nnd athlete who now resides

daughter of Thomas Cowing, a prom
inent attorney, who lives in Portland.

bloody axe was found near a bed
where one of the children's bodies
was found. The head of each vic
tim had been horribly beaten. Hill's
skull had been spit wide open.
