GREAT NORTHERN USES
TELEPHONE IN DISPATCHING
Wenatchee, Wash., May 28. —The
Great Northern railway has begun the
use of telephones for train dispatch
ing between the Sound and Spokane,
marking the beginning of the end of
the telegrapher on Hill roads.
The phones cut in are those between
Spokane and Leavenworth. The phone
system between Spokane and Troy,
Mont., will be ready inside of a week.
When these are in use, the Great
Northern will have above 2,000 miles
of track over which the telephone has
replaced the telegraph.
Every station and siding will be
equipped with a telephone and there
is a selector set by which the dis
patcher can call any station he wants.
Every train, both passenger and
freight, that leaves Spokane going
either way, will be equipped with a
portable telephone set, which can be
cut in on the line at any point. The
advantage over the telegraph, in case
of wrecks or other emergencies, can
be seen.

ONEHGHT
INTERSTATE COMMISSION DE
CLINES TO CHANGE TRANSIT
SHIPPING RULES.
Admits Privilege Has Been Grossly
Abused, However, and Will En
deavor to See That Order Forbid
ding Substitution of Tonnage in
Transit Is Complied With.
Pacific coast lumber and shingle
manufacturers have lost their fight
to compel the railroads to abolish the
transit shipment privileges. The In
terstate Commerce Commission; after
careful investigation into the transit
shipment question as relating to lum
ber, shingles, grain, cotton, sugar and
many other commodities, has just is
used a report in which it states that
the commission will not interfere with
existing regulations and attempt to
frame a code of transit rules.
Copies of this report were received
in Seattle by F. D. Becker, secretary
of the Pacific Coast Shippers Asso
ciation.
In its conclusions the interstate
commerce commission says:
"The commission has been asked by
numerous shippers, including the
grain dealers along the Ohio river, the
grain dealers in intermountain terri
tory, and the lumber and shingle man
ufacturers of the Pacific coast, to con
demn the transit privileges entirely as
illegal. This the commission is not
prepared to do, the present order of
the investigation affording no warrant
for such action."
Abuses Are Admitted.
While declining to condemn or at
tempt to regulate transit privileges,
the report states that the privilege
has been grossly abused, to the detri
ment of honest shippers and that the
commission will endeavor to see that
its order of June 29, 1909, forbidding
the substitution of tonnage in transit,
is complied with.
In its report, which is lengthy, the
commission declares that it does not
condemn the transit privileges as such,
but that the responsibility for safe
guarding and policing such privileges
to the end that the lawfully published
rates shall be collected, rests entirely
upon carriers. The report points out,
however, that shippers will not be ex
cused in any cas where they defeat
published rates by any transit privi
leges. ■' *
Discusses Effect.
Discussing the effect of the elimina
tion of transit privileges on the rail
roads, the commission says:
"If carriers will join in the cancel
lation of the arrangements which they
have built up for the purpose of with
holding business from each other they
will be relatively as well off as they
are now, while the elimination of
these arrangements will decrease their
expenses of bookkeeping and super
vision and will be for the benefit of all
the industries affected.
"If the carriers will yield somewhat
in the matter of local rates to and
from transit points, it will be possible
to make such rates equal to the pres
ent published transit rates in many
cases without serious loss of income
to the carriers."
Will Prosecute Abuses.
Although holding that the existing
transit privileges are legal, the com
mission states that if the privilege is
abused, in violation of its order of
June 29, criminal prosecution will be
resorted to against both carriers and
shippers to secure obedience to the
law.
Smarting under what they consid
ered evils growing out of the practice
of putting unsold lumber and shingles
in transit, Northwest lumber and shin
gle manufacturers last winter held a
conference at Seattle with a score or
more of prominent railroad officials
and sought to solve the problem. The
upshot of the conference was that
steps be taken to have the interstate
commerce commission pass on the
whole matter.
Inasmuch as the commission was at
that time investigating, on its own ac
count, the transit question as it re
ferred to grain, cotton and other com
modities, capable of being so shipped,
it took cognizance of the complaints
of the lumbermen and covered the en-
LUMBERMEN WILL
BRING TEBT BUIT
Seattle, May 31.—Notwithstanding
the announcement made by the inter
state commerce commission that it will
not attempt to abolish the transit ship
ment privileges extended by railroads
to carriers, the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers' Association has voted
to bring suit before the commission
in an effort to put an end to the stor
age-in-transit and reconsignment-in
transit practices which the lumbermen
consider a menace to industry.
E. 6. Griggs, president of the asso
ciation, Victor H. Beckman, secretary,
and the committee on transportation
have been instructed to cause suit to
be brought at once..

At the Saturday meeting of the as
sociation the following resolution was
adopted:
"Whereas, the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers' Association on Feb
mry 26, 1910, adopted the recommen
dation of the special committee which
had for consideration the reconsign
ing and storage-in-transit practices of
common carriers, and which commit
tee recommended that this association
bring such action as may be necessary
to bring this matter before the inter
state commerce commission at the
earliest date practicable, for purpose
of having the interstate commerce
commission hear and determine the
legality of practices complained of,
that same may be declared unlawful
or that they may be modified, and
Railways Desire Point Settled.
"Whereas, representatives of trans
continental railway lines, and their
connections, have heretofore met with
representatives of lumber and shingle
manufacturers in this territory, and
such railroad representatives have ex
pressed themselves as being desirous
that the questions involved be passed
upon as to their legality and reason
ableness by the interstate commerce
commission; and
"Whereas, the board of trustees of
this association on April 30, adopted
and approved the report of the special
committee, therefore, be it
"Resolved, that the president and
Secretary of this association, and the
committee on transportation-, be here
by instructed to cause suit to be

LOCAL OPTION DECISION
BY STATE SUPREME COURT
Olympia, May 28. —As the local op
tion law was passed later last ses
sion of the legislature than the amend
ment to the township organization law
of 1895, giving townships autonomy on
the liquor question, the former super
sedes the amendment and conse
quently an election on the local option
question may be held in counties
which have township organization,
according to a decision rendered by
the state supreme court.
This decision was in the case of
Theodore Gunther and others against
Judge Huneke of the superior court
of Spokane County argued last Friday,
Spokane County has taken advantage
of the law permitting the division of
the counties into townships. ,
The suit was started in the Spokane
superior court in Spokane to enjoin
an election called for the purpose of
determining whether licenses for the
sale of intoxicating liquors shall be
issued in Spokane County outside of
the incorporated cities and towns.
The Spokane court dismissed the
case on a demurrer.
Medical Bill Sidetracked.
Washington, May 30—The Owen bill
to establish a "secretary of health,"
with place in the President's cabinet,
has gone over until the short session
of Congress next winter.
The outlook for final action on the
bill at that time is not good, for the
reason that Congress, now that the
business dt the government has bo
come so great, has all it can do at the
short sessions to pass the great an
nual supply bills, some of which, in
order to get through, are hurried much
more rapidly than is consistent with
good legislation.
To Rush Grandview Extension.
Prosser, Wash., May 28.—1t is the
purpose of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company to build its Grandview
extension at the earliest possible date.
Agents are purchasing right-of-way and
where satisfactory arrangements can
not be made the company is seeking
to condemn lands.
Muckfeshoots Get Windfall.
Seventeen Muckleshoot Indians,
living on a little reservation on the
White river, Just above Auburn, have
in the mail coming to them seventeen
checks for $600 each, the money
represents the award in condemnation
proceedings brought by the Pacific
Coast Power Company, which diverted
a portion of the flow of the river on
which the reservation borders. Dis
trict Attorney B. E. Todd, of Seattle,
mailed the checks to the Indian agent
Friday.

GRANTED;
President Taft Declares His Interest
in This Piece of Legislation and Is
Said to Approve Retaliatory Plan of
Western Representatives — Land
Withdrawal BUI at Stake.
Washington, May 28. —Some of the
supporters of the measure that passed
the senate providing for an issue of
certificates of indebetdness for $30,
--000,000 to complete reclamation pro
jects are preparing to place this mea
sure as a "rider" upon the adminis
tration land withdrawal bill.
This course is designed to compel
the house committee on ways and
means to take action upon the senate
bill. It is said to have the support of
President Taft.
The bill to aid the reclamation ser
vice passed the senate early in the
session, but no action has been taken
upon it by the house other than to
refer it to the committee on ways and
means.
Western members, interested in the
early completion of irrigation works
in course of construction or author
ized, have become impatient. They
concluded that some heroic measure
must be taken if action is had on the
bill at the present session.
Many of them are inclined to make
the passage of the bill the price of
their votes for the land withdrawal
bill, which is the chief administration
conservation measure.
• According to indications the land
withdrawal bill is destined to become
a law. If the senate, which passed the
reclamation measure by a large ma
jority i! should ) consent Ito ■ attach 'it to
the withdrawal [ bill, it could jj be gotten
into conference at, least.
: Representative Hamer, of Idaho, had
a long conference T with President Taft
Thursday,! regarding the tieup of; the
bill | authorizing the g issuance of $30,
--000,000 of bonds or certificates to carry
to | completion various irrigation pro
jects in the West.!
' The president authorized Mr. Hamer
to say there was no bill pending in con
gress in which he was more interested
and he proposed to use his personal in
fluence to get that piece of legislation
through. _, „ , \ , , ,
