Dear Sir:
Wo lenrncd from tho progs that tho
Initiative freight rnto act, which car
ried at tho IbbI general election by an
overwhelming majority, has been per
manently enjoined by tho federal
district court. Wo aro not Informed
ttiat an appeal to tho United States
mip rem o court has boon taken by tho
state.
In vlow of tho various recent de
risions of tho United States supremo
court, uniformly reversing injunction
decrees of tho federal district court
in tho stato rate cases of llko char
acter and establishing tho state rates,
wo beltovo ample precedents aro now
established to Justify the taking of
an appeal ot the lnltlatlvo freight
rato caso to tho supremo court, and
therefore formally request your office
to appeal tho case, it It has not al
ready boon done, so that a ruling
may bo had from tho highest court.
"Wo mako this request on behalf pf
this community.
This act carried every county ex
cept two, having a very small voto
and this fact, togethor with tho over
whelming majority, clearly shows tho
pcoplo want thU rata policy applied
in this stato, and the principle is now
bolng urged upon shippers by tho
railroads throughout tho county on
basis of economy ot transportation,
1. c. heavy car loading.
Kindly adviso.
Yours truly,

SWEDISH YULEFEST

A Swedish Yulo feast will be held

street, on Now Years evo, Wednes
day, December 31, from 7 o'clock to
midnight. All tho Scandinavians and
their families are expected to at
tend. No admission. No formality.
Tho young people and tho children
will play national games and Blng
native songs, and all tho sons and
daughters from tho Northland will
celebrate "Nu a do Jul igen."
According to tho United States
census, thero are in Jackson county
about 300 Swedes, over 100 Norweg
ians and nearly 100 Danes. Hut no
attempt has ever been ruado to
gather these peoplo together for an
old-fashioned Christmas celebration
in any part of Southern Oregon.
Yet Yule festivals among tho North
men seems to be as old as tho race
Itself, even going beyond tho Chris
tian era. No other pcoplo in tho
world spend half of tho year to pro-
pare for tho Christmas holidays and
the other half to remember how
good a tlmo they had.
Tho Swedes la Medford have been
working for weeks preparing for tho
event. Tho Swedish vice-consul In
