Officers of lie Salem Commercial Club were In cited to address the principal granges pf Western Oregon, and the great Corporation was up against a solid array of business interests, and grow ling public sentiment, that demanded action. A Great Victory. The most important result of the re- tent visit of Traffic Director J. C. Stubbs, of tho Southern Pacific Com pany, Is tho reduction of tho rate on lumber from points in Oregon to coast Mnts in California to tho former figures of $3.10 per 2000 pounds. In consequence of tho raising of tho rato some months ago to ?5 to all "points which could bo reached by water, there was a great reduction in the number of men employed both In the woods and tho mills of a number of companies operating up tho valley. When Mr. Stubbs was In Oregon this week a delegation of lumber men waited on him and. obtained from him a promise to restore tho former rate. Tho good effect of this announcement Is seen in the following dispatch from Eugene: "Eugene, Or., April 20. Nothing has occurred for a long tlmo which In so gratifying to tho business interests of Lane county as tho act of tho South ern Pacific Company in restoring tho rato of $3.10 per ton on lumber from Willamette valley points to San Fran cisco. SInco tho rato was raised last fall to $5 per ton, tho vast lumbering Interests of this county have been un able to operate the mills to anything llko their full capacity, and as a re. suit nearly every business has felt somo depression. "Tho Booth-Kelly Company, which a year ago was running a force of 1000 men in four large mills, has only bean doing about one-third of Its full business.
