Rate disputes and salary referendum sweep Oregon items
Eastern Washington growers press for rail rate cuts from 83.40 to 2.40 per bushel while the Washington Railroad Commission defers hearings awaiting proof rates are unreasonable. A Salem dispatch debunks a flat salary constitutional amendment proposed for 1906 and cites absurd pay scales. Other notes cover a custody petition in Dupuis County Court, railroad talk by Walla Walla officials, a large rabbit hunt on Blalock Island, and a Baker City blizzard tail.
