. RAILWAY COMMISSION AT
COLFAX.
State Railway Commissioners Fair
child anil McMilin, accompanied by
Secretary Lysons, arrived in Colfax i
on the (5:15 train Tuesday morning,
and spent the time from their arrival
until l*:3ojn talking with the shippers
and producers, with a view to finding
out the conditions here, as to railroad <
rates; etc.- says the Gazette. At 1 :30
they met with the Colfax Commercial
Club and others at the Cormvell build- i
ing and dicsussed the situation.
The meeting was called to order by
do. It. Lennoxj secretary of the club,
President Burgunder being absent.
Mr. Lennox introduced those present
to the commission, who explained the i
robject of the visit of the board to tin's '
,'ounty. lie said that they did not i
cbrnehere to talk hut to listen; wished •
to familiarize themselves with the real
status of affairs; that if they were to i
serve the people to the best advant- i
age, they must adjust differences be- <
t ween Ihe railroads and the people with- i
out unnecessary friction, so as to avoid i
hitter feeling on the part of either
side; he believed the people would only i
ask for what was fair, and ■ill that i
thus far no complaints had been filed i
that were not found to be just. i
Chasi: E. Scriber of the Colfax Na- i
tional bank spoke briefly on the heat t
rate to terminal points, and explained \
that while the people did not know c
just what rate .should maintain, they t
believed they should have .i reduction v
and wanted the matter looked into.
Mr. McMilin, of the board, plained a
that it was not the office of the board a
to act in the capacity of prosecutor, t
and hunt up evidence in these matters, i r
but as judges after a specific complaint 1 i
had been made. h
Mr. MacKenxize, of the firm of 1
Codd & MacKenzie, who had been t
talking with the commissioners earlier t
in the day, then read a complaint, |
which he filed with hte board, on the ;
joint rate on coal. The paper follows <
and is self explanatory: c
To'the Stale Railroad Commission I
lion Sirs: In further reference to our c
de.-iiv, and also our inability to have
a joint rate on Roslyn coal to Colfax I
reestablished, will say: i
That for two years prior to January \
1. 1902, we were selling agents for t
this coal in Colfax, and also used the j
same for fuel in our electric light i
plant here, and shipped to this point £
about 2000 tons per year. t
The coal cost laid down in Coll I
$5.00 per ton during l.too, and $5.25 in t
1901; said cost being ba ed on the fol- 1
lowing charges: $1.50 for the coal at
Roslyn during 1900, and a freight rate ]
of $3.50 per ton, one half of which 1
freight rate went to the Northren Pa- ]
cific for the haul from Roslyn to Wai- I
lula, and the other half for the haul
from VVallula to Colfax, each haul be i
ing about of an equal length. i
The juice of coal was raised 25 c
cents per ton at Lhe mines in L9Ol, c
making our cost in 1901 $5.25. I
In the fall of 1901 we were told by
a representative of the Wyoming coal i
companies who visited us, that the rate \
on Roslyn coal to Colfax was to be 1
cancelled, in order to give the Wyom- i
ing companies the business and the i
Harrison lines the long haul on all coal i
used in Colfax, that railroad company (
claiming that this was their territory,
Those representations were made in t
order to get u;-i to handle and burn the <
Wyoming coal, but as the Roslyn coal i
is a much better steam coal and was l
giving satisfaction for domestic pur- i
poses and was only costing us $5.50
pei\ton,where the Wyoming coal would
cost $7.25 per ton, we could not see
our way clear to buy the eastern coal,
and so informed the gentleman who
called upon us.
Tiue to bis prophecy; however, that
the Wyoming 'mines would get the bus
iness as they were largely controlled
by the men who owned the Union Pa
citic and allied lines, and also that the
railroads wanted tiie long hauls on the
coal used in Colfax, on December 7th,
j 1901, we received the following letter,
I which explains itself :
'.'.We have just been advised that
beginning with January 1, 1002, the
joint freight rate on coal from Roslyn
land Clealum to points on the line of
the 0. R. & N. railway company will
j be cancel! d.
3 will prohibit us from shipping
coal as at present, making a livery
price) and hereafter we can ahip to
Wallula Junction only.
"Should you desire our coal at any
time wo shall lake pleasure in enter
ing your order and give it our best at
tention, but it will be necessary to
apply to M. B. Campbell, Traffic Man
ager of the (). U. & N. Co., at Port
land, or any of their general agents,
for rates from Wallula the junction
of the Northern Pacific Railway and
the O. R. &N. "Co, to destination;''
We have made /several requests of
the 0. K. & X. Co. for the reestab
lishing of the old rate for Koslyn coal,
and the only quotation they will make
is $J.o.i a tori from Wallula, or rather,
they .say that shipment a of coal iii car
load coming onto their lines at Wal
lula would take the .same rate as if
I the shipment originated in Portland
[which would be $1.00 a ton. Add to
i this §1.75 per ton for the -. P. haul
; and £1.7j for the coal at Hoslyn and it
I would make the coal coat §7.50 a ton
j here which \a an excessive price.
I Koslyn coal ia sold in Pullman and
GaVlield points on the N. P. on either
] side of us at $5.25 per ton and wo
think we should have a rate that would
enable the people at this point to get
their coal at the same cost.
We think a fair rate would be one
cent per ton per mile and based on
that figure ■ joint, rate should be
named us in the neighborhood of $3.00
to $8.60 per ton.
The tirst rate named on Wyoming
<nal lias been reduced and the present
rate is Sl.no per ton f«.r about a 1200
mile haul, which you can see is much
less than one cent per mile per ton.
This city has only one line of rail
road and there is no competitive in
fluence to make the railroad company
low< r their rates, and as a consequence
we are compelled to pay nearly twice
as much for our fuel as any other
town in the state, as the price of all
other fuel is regulated by the price of
coal.
Our present annual consumpiton of
coal would be about .'{(100 tons and we
think we are paying the railroad
company aboul $6000 a year more than
they are entitled to for hauling it to
us.
Another objection to our being com
pelled to ues the Wyoming coal is that
in the fall of the year and during
early winter when coal shipments are
heavy both the (). R. & N. and Oregon
Short-line railroads are taxed beyond
their capacity handling the crop and
we being so far away from the mines
mi- shipments are otfen from a month
to six weeks overdue, just at the time
when we need them most.
The quality of the Koslyn coal is
uperior to the Wyoming coal for
steaming purposes, as is evidenced by
he fact that the railroad company
low use no other coal in this district
n their locomotives, having discarded
He Wyoming coal in favor of the
Roslyn about a year ago, and we feel
hat if they haul it in for thier own use
they should make a rate for it to this
loint, and further we would much
iicfcr even if we had to pay a high
■r price to be able to patronize the
•oal mines in our own state and there
iy develop our own resources and keep
mr money at home.
The old rate of $:>.7.") a ton on Ros
lyn coal to (his point from Roslyn ex
isted fur several years and the business
was undoubtedly a profitable one for
the railroads, for the 0 .R . &N.,
just prior to our taking the agency
for the coal at this point, cut the rate
I~> cents per ton, making it $3.50, and
the only reason for its cancellation, we
believe, was to force a long haul on
this particular community because we
had no escape from it."
Chairman Fairchild said these com
plaints were specific and gave the
board something to work upon, and
promised that they would be taken Up
at once.
.1. T. Lobaugh, a miller of Pullman,
told of shipping some mill rolls to
Spokane for repairs and [laying 11
cents per hundred to Spokane and 25
cents per hundred on the same from
Spokane to Pullman, returning.
Dr. .Johnston called attention to the
fact that the 0. R. &N. compnay
would not allow shippers in this sec
tion t" double deck carloads of hogs,
which very much increased the cost of
shipping same, and gave eastern ship
pers a great advantage over the people
(if eastern Washington.
After this an informal talk was in
dulged in by thost* present and many
expressed their confidence in the board
and promised their aid in bringing
matters before the board in a proper
manner.

■ by getting your winter's supply

in car lots at wholesale prices.
