NEWS OF THE STATE CAPITAL
NEW NOTICE IS ISSUED BY RAIL-
ROAD COMMISSION.
This Latest One la Not Confined to
a Readjustment of Rates to Meet
Arkansas and Louisiana
Conditions.
Daily Express Austin Bureau
AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 0.—The Railroad
Commission today issued another formal
notice of the lumber rate hearing for
February 17, which was adjourned until
that date last Dec ember.
As previously Indicated, this notice of
hearing is based on the general proposi-
tion of the readjustment of the lumber
rates, and not 011 a proposition looking
to 3 readjustment of the rates to meet
the Arkansas and Louisiana conditions.
During the former hearing on this mat-
ter an objection was raised to this prop-
osition on the grounds that the Railroad
Commission had no authority to readjust
the rates to meet outside conditions and,
out of deference to Commissioner Wil-
liams' opinion on this matter, th«' scope
of the hearing has been broadened into
a general proposition of the readjustment
of the rates. The same basis of consid-
eration as before given is maintained and
the order is signed by all three of the
commissioners.
With this notice comes another giving
notice that the commission will at the
hame time consider the adoption ot rules
and regulations for inilling-in-transit
privileges on logs, to be observed by
lailroad companies in this State. This is
< 'ommlssioner Colquitt's proposition and
he is joined by Commissioner Williams,
who says that, since the commission
has gone into the proposition, it should
make the hearing a broad one.
M iLUNG-IN-TRANSIT PRIVILEGES.
The notice of Mr. Colquitt's proposition
for the adoption of rules and regulations
for milling-in-transit privileges on logs
follows:
"I. The transit privileges herein pro-
posed shall be understood to mean the
stopping of carload shipments of logs to
be sawed or milled into lumber or ether
articles taking lumber rates, at points
between origin of the logs and final
destination of the product, under the lim-
itations and conditions hereinafter pro-
vided.
"2. The sawing or milling point must
be 011 the originating line or the next
connecting carrier, it being understood
that what are termed logging fir tram
roads are subject to the provisions of
these rules, the same as are regular com-
mon carriers.
"3. The line or lines hauling the logs
to the sawing or milling point shall
charge and collect for such service the
rates prescribed by this commission for
application on logs, carloads, as per com-
modity tariff No. 30-A or subsequent
Issues.
"4. When, within six months, from
date of expense bill for shipment of logs
* the lumber or other commodity subject
> to same rates is tendered for shipment
\ to final destination, refund will be made
I to the owner of the expense bills cover-
klng shipments of logs of the freight
rliarges on an equal number of pounds
ftof logs as the weight of the lumber or
Articles taking same rate so shipped. The
Ig commission will also consider other log
>; rate adjustments, such as when one car
of lumber is tendered refund will be
■J made on three cars of logs, or such other
{ adjustment as may appear more just
5 and reasonable after careful considera-
tion of the matter.
"5 In all cases the through rate shall
r>e that in effect on the product from
origin of the logs to final destination of
such product; provided, that when the
milling point is not in direct line of
transit the owner of the logs shall pay
one-half cent per ton per mile for extra
service to the lines performing such ex-
tra service.
"The commission will, in pursuance of
this notice, consider, with view of their
adoption, the foregoing or such other
transit privileges on logs as may appear
nroper in the premises. The hearing will
ne in no way restricted to the rules ami
regulations specifically set out as afore-
said, but will extend to all questions that
may arise as to the advisability of giving
milling-in-transit privileges to logs car-
ried by rail in this State and a.s to the
character and extent of the privileges to
be given. If any are given, and as to all
other matters incident thereto."
REFRIGERATION TARIFF.
Notice is also given that the Railroad
<'ommisslon will, on Tuesday, February
consider the matter of the adoption of
the following proposed amendments to
refrigeration tariff No. 1, effective Sep-
tember 20, 1905. and providing charges,
rules and regulations to govern In the
refrigeration of carload shipments of
perishable freight.
As a basis for consideration it is pro-
posed to amend section 2 of said tariff
by adding the following provisions:
"Any and all shippers who may prefer
to do their own loading and furnish their
own material shall be accorded that priv-
ilege, but in the event the carriers per-
form this service for shippers the car-
riers are authorized to collect same from
shippers or to bill same against shipment
at actual eost.
"Where cars are reconslgned or divert-
ed to points taking the same rates as
original destination, or where cars ar^
billed to stop at an intermediate point in
transit to partly unload, all Icing done
at such reconsigning or stopover point
shall be at shippers of consignee's ex-
pense and shall eonstitute a legal charge
against, the shipment."
The Railroad Commission today issued
itotice that it would at a hearing, Febru-
ary 8, consider the complaint of the citi-
zens of Prairie View, a station on the
Houston &. Texas Central Railway, that
its depot facilities were Inadequate and
make such orders relative to the depot
facilities as seemed necessary.
Notice was also given to the Texas &
New Orleans and Texarkana Fort
Smith Railways, and others interested,
that the commission would on the same
date consider the complaints coming from
Port Arthur that the facilities for load-
ing and unloading live stock were Inade-
quate, and that it would make an nrder

AUSTIN, Tex.. Jan. 6 An agreement
was reached today between the attorneys
for the State and the defendant ip the
suit of the State against S. R. Guthrie
for the recovery of seven sections of
school land in Brewster County, whereby
tendered
rr.ony in the Hrownsvllle case as evidence
in the present case, they announced that

P'a'ned that the commission employed

Mr. Andrews objected to the introduc-

grounds, among them that defendant's
counsel had not seen it; that Commis-
sioner Colquitt's testimony did not bind
the commission, and that the question at
issue was whether the rates were Just,
regardless of the motives which may have
inspired them. The objections were de-
bated at length. Messrs. Andrews. Gar-
wood and Spoonts speaking in support of
same, and Messrs Lewis and Phillips
against them.
Judge Wilcox, in sustaining the objec-

reasons the commissioners entertained, as
the issue before the oourt was whether
or not the rates within themselves were

MOLLER CONCLUDES TESTIMONY
In concluding his testimony this morn-
ing Ml. Moller said that Galveston did
a considerable coffee importing business
hJ a '?£ and ''SOs; but had lost it because
the Southern Pacific hauled freight from
New Orleans to Texas points at rates be-
low those prevailing from Galveston to
same Points. To illustrate that the den-
r! J.. c 0,1 Galveston railroads on
the first fifty miles out of the city is
heavier than elsewhere in the State, he
mowed that Galveston tonnage, according
to customhouse statistics, Is 5,0 m (ino to
B.UOO.OOO tons per annum, whereas, accord-
ing to the Railroad Commission reports,
the total railroad tonnage in the State
was as,000,000 tons last year. The latter
figures, he said, were double what they
should be, due to the fact of duplication of
tonnage reports on traffic going over two
or more lines. For Instance, the report
thowed 1.500,000 tons of cotton moved
whereas the Texas production was about
half that much. The average charge a
J? °n ™ot,?u sh|Pl*-rI <" Galveston is
I2.1R or 30 mills a ton mile, the average,
haul being 300 miles, whereas the charge
for the fifty miles, Houston to Galveston
Is 30 cents, or>24 cents a ton mile, not-
