Mteainer« six or eight dollars per con on merchandise b y measurement; and suppose the railroad company would charge six dollars per ion for hauling a ton of freight from Portland to Eugene city, eight dollars to Spring­ field, ten dollars to Roseburg, twelve dollars to .Medford, and twenty dollars to Ashland, the first of which to Eu­ gene would be one-third more than for the long haul from Portland to San Francisco, while the last twenty dollars to Ashland, would, for these 340 miles, or about one-half the whole distance to San Francisco, be five times more than the charge for the long distance of over 700 miles between Portland and San Francisco ; and it is quite probable that something like this will be the result when the road is completed unless otherwise regula­ ted by law. In such an event, therefore, would. I inquire, the provisions of this inter­ state commerce bill prohibit the rail­ road company from making these several higher rates for these several shorter hauls than are charged for the longer hauls between Portland and Ban Francisco? I imagine not, for the simple reason that the long haul is subject to the sharp competition by sea and therefore the railroad com­ pany may for this reason be forced to put through rates at an extremely POPULAR MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
