Great Northern work outlined in major line updates
The Post-Intelligencer notes limited construction by the Great Northern this season. Only three miles of new track in the region, plus a three mile connector near a city to link with the Spokane, Portland & Seattle line. A Vancouver to New Westminster cut off nears completion, with two new towns Oliver and Whiterock emerging.

Decision Upheld On Missouri 2 Cent Fare Rates
Judge McPherson ruled the 2 cent fare and 1907 state freight rate statutes are not remunerative for 18 Missouri railroads. He held local traffic cannot earn a reasonable return, and state rates fail to provide adequate profit after expenses. The decision notes precedents and calls for interstate rate corrections if needed. Local residents listed include Isaac James, G O Young, John N Johnson, Roy Hollinger, and C H Merritt with various local updates.
