FOR AND AGAINST
RATE FOR BEANS
S. P. Roaenbaum, local manager ot
the llarrlman lines, blossomed out in
n now rolo Tuesday when ho appeared
as a bean expert for thoSouthern
Pacific and argued both against tho
quality and quantity of beans grown
In the Rogue river valley, In tho
hearing before Stato Railroad Com
missioner Miller ot tho application
made by Chas. S. Lobo ot tho Mcd
ford Warehouse company, for a re
duction in shipping rates for beans.
Evidence to tho contrary was given
by Mr, Lebo, who read orders ho had
received from buyers praising tho
quality and who stated that with pro
per encouragement, beans could bo
mado ono of tho valley's most pro
ductive crops.
Attorney (Jus Newbury, well versed
In farming along tho Applegate, tos
ttfled that the ranchers raised beau
In largo quantities In that section,
but that tho high freight rates mado
their growing unprofitable.
Secretary Streets of the Commer
cial club teslfled that beans ot flno
quality coUld bo and wcro profitably
grown In the Evans valloy section.
At tho request or tho complainant,
who claimed that ho had not received
sufficient notice to preparo exhibits
for his case, Commissioner Miller
stated that it would bo rc-opened
later.

men, following the issuance of, Chief
llittson's order to arrest. nil wan
