Railway Presidents Meet Farmers To Cut Grain Rates
In Spokane on August 5 a meeting with J Hill of the Great Northern, Mellen of the Northern Pacific, and Mahler of the Oregon Railway and Navigation discussed reducing grain rates by 1 to 2 cents per bushel for Eastern Washington. A new line linking the Central Washington and Great Northern lines to Adrian was planned, costing about 250000, enabling tonnage to move to Seattle and Tacoma via the Great Northern. The conference drew farmers, fruit growers, and miners who pressed their demands, while the three presidents answered questions and pledged action. The delegation then moved to Colfax for further talks and declined a third stop at Walla Walla.
