Great Northern Discrimination Against Stevens County Highlighted
The Pune hearing discusses a 30 week delay in addressing discriminatory rates for Stevens County by the Great Northern. Questions arise about fair treatment and whether local patronage should shift to other lines until equal rates are granted. Citizens are urged to act now to pressure the road for just rates.

Stevens county presses for lower Great Northern rates
After months of push, the state railroad commission orders the Great Northern to cut its S F N rates to match other regions. Shippers report widespread overcharges and claim delays in payment, while locals urge a switch to rival lines. The Colville Examiner publishes a list of refused claims and notes a northern gathering in Fargo with Democratic leaders and major speakers. The piece includes local rate comparisons showing 66 to 70 cents per 100 pounds discriminating against Colville and Stevens county.
