Spokane hearings on the Misc case for improved freight rates concluded with Interstate Commerce Commissioner Prouty noting the issue extends across the mountain region from Spokane to the Mexican border. He ordered Northern Pacific Great Northern and Oregon Railroad and NavigationCo to supply data on interstate freight volumes through Spokane and westward and on routes from the east to Spokane. Complainants argued patrons along the line should benefit from lower costs as shipments move to terminal points.
