GEO. S. LOFTUS.
held his charge about Its ratet)
being unequal and entirely ' too
high for the service It rendered.
The commission hit the car com
pany good and hard when It de
cided that upper berths should
not cost as much as lower ones.
There were also some other points
in the decision that gave the
palace car trust a bad taste.
Sundberg was a state senator
five years ago and also a farmer.
One warm summer day a piece' of
casting on one of the farm im
plements • broke, and he tele
graphed to Minneapolis, 100 miles
away, for; a' new casting. It came
by express all right, but with an
express bill of $32. .The casting
cost but $2.50. It didn't take
Sundberg long to realize that he
had'been "soaked." -
He looked . around and saw that
his friends j and neighbors were
getting the same sort of treat
ment - from- the express carriers.
He studied the matter over, but
as a - state ' legislator found he
must go higher. *'•
The interstate commerce com
mission was his goal, and he
started toward that point at once.
.He la rich and can well afford to
pay any express rate demanded,
I but It is not for himself that he
has been fighting; It Is for his
am immense placard on each side
bearing the legend, "Shipped by
the Lumber Manufacturers'
Agency of Centralia, Wash., via
Oregon & Washington railroad
and Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railrcad." These placards
are to be 24 feet long and seven
feet high. ,
When the new ordinance pass
es the owner will be burned. He
will be scorched with a fine In
police court.
And the mounted cops will fer
ret out the dog owners. That was
Fawcett's suggestion. By next
week when the ordinance will be
up for passage they will probably
have it fixed so not only the
mounted police, but all the bob
bies will have to hunt dog own
ers. -
