Order of State Railroad Commission
to Be Completed This Afternoon
Contains Sweeping Reductions on
Distance Tariff Rates in Oregon.

UNTIL ORDER IS RECEIVED
Will Prove a Special Boon to South
ern Oregon According to
Dispatch.
SALHM, Ore., Jan. 10. That or
ders to be completed hy the state roil
way commission Into this afternoon
are to contain sweeping reductions bu
distance tariff rates in Oregon, is tho
statement of Commissioner Campbell
toduy. Orders have accumulated
through the past year of hearings in
volving every ronil in tho state. The
reductions will go into effect March
1, at the samo time its tho recent or
ders from the interstate commcrco
commission become effective.
On the Southern Pacific and Oro-gon-Washington
Railway and Navi
gation company, with all their branch
lines excepting tho new linos up tho
Deschutes valley, the following rates
have been ordered on a basis of 100
peunds:
Fifty miles, 32 cents; 100 miles,
50 cents; IHO miles, G2 cents; 200
miles, 72 vents; 250 miles, 82 cents;
100 miles, Ul cents; 350 miles, .$1,
and 400 miles, $1.10.
The material reductions begin nt
the 200-milo haul. This will bo an
especial boon to eastern uud southern
Oregon and will make it possible for
them to enjoy approximating low
rates already enjoyed by cities with
in 100 to 200-milo radius of Port
land. When above dispatch was shown
to A. L. Iloscnbaum, local agent of
tho Southern Pacific company, todny,
Mr. Itobcubuum stated that approxi
mately the reduction would amount
to about 20 per cent of tho present
rate, assuming thut the figures con
tained in tho dispatch aro those cov
ering artielos taking a first class rate.
There aro commodity rates in effect
from Portland hero and in what way
thcfeo will be affected tho dispatch
does nut how, uud until Mr. Iloscn
baum sees the order of tho oommi
bion ho is unable to mako a further
statement.
Assuming that the figures con
tained in tho dispatch cover articles
requiring first class rates tho reduc
tions will bo as follows;
Miles. Now Rate. Old Rate.

Medford is principally uffeotcd in
(ho reduction of tho $1.18 to 01 cents.
This ordor will in no wiso uffect

Shipments from tho east, in many
eases, nro nmdo up hy tho terminal
rate to Portland plus tho local rato
to Medford and, of courso, theso in
