BE WORD STATE RATES NOW APPLY TO ALL TRAFFIC New Frefojit Rates Recently Put Into Effect From Portland to Mctlfortl Apply After September 10 to In terstate as Well ns Local Shipments New Transcontinental Frefflht Tariffs Completed and in Effect August 19 and September 2 Tariffs Revised After September 10th Ihp new freight rate recently put into offeot l'ortlnnd to Mcdford, will apply on InterHlnte HliipmcntM n well ih local shipment thus doing nwny with the neeesHity of recoti signing1 freight nt Portland, in other word Medford merchants can' bill their; Hitipraents from other Ktnfo8 direct to Mcdford nnd obtain Ibe lowcit existing rates. The new trmifceontinentr.l freight tariffs have been completed. Tho cAHlbotinil rates will became effective August 19 nml tho westbound tnriff will go into effect on the hccouiI day of September. All western tariff hnve been re vised; the dead wood thrown out and tho tariff constructed on as nearly a scientific ba.sirt as is pos sible, consistent with the amended Interstate Commerce Aet nnd the rules of the Commission. In order to simplify the tariffs and do away with the never-ending soitrco ot irritation resulting from oyer burdened commodity tariffs, all commodities that move to a very limited extent in less tlinu carload lots, and Riieh commodities nn do not move at all, hav'e been renioveUl'roHi' tho commodity tariffs nml placed under the general class tariffs. In the former westbound tariff there were n large number commod ity rates on tion-sda-going articles that weru lower to Pacific Coast ter minal than to intermediate or in terior points. Theso were readjusted by Advancing the terminal rates to a figure that, was reasonable for the service jerformed. This did not in crease the rates on lltese commodities nt interior points, but in most cases lowered them. Itntes that aro lower to, terminal points than to interior points have been forced by son coniHtitiott. But rates on such articles as do not move by sea, such as buggies, agricultural implements, furniture, tin cans' etc., that under tho former tnriff were lower to terminal than to interior points, were not defensible ns Ren forced rates. Hence, the curriers were confpellcd to make rates on these commodities that would bo no lower to terminal points thu to in terior points. A large number of carload and los than carload commodities were elimi nated because of their no-use. hence such action did not incretiae the rato or charge. Some few commodity rates wero Advanced because the general readjustment of rates in the intermountaiu and western territory made it necessary. Tho commodity rates on less tlmn carloads thut have been eliminated in both cast and 'ct bound tariffs have been relegated to thu classifi cation mid class rates. PORTLAND, Ore.
