KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, Dec. 21.—'
A hearing to effect a reduction in rail
road freight class rates for Oregon
similar to recent rate reductions in
California, is to start here tomorrow
before United States Interestate Com
I merce Commissioner Gerry. The
hearing was requested by the Klamath!
. Commercial club, which charges dis- I
, crimination in class rates by the
Southern Pacific company. The hear
! ing follows long litigation.
Early in 1916 the club and other
business interests here started an ac
j tion in San Francisco for a rate ad
; justment which would affect traffic
between Weed, California, and Kla
math, Oregon, particularly. The hear-'
ing was before the California State
railroad commission, which ordered
reductions, which ran as high as 40
per cent in some instances. The
company made an effort to have the
operation of these rates delayed, but
finally declared the tariffs demanded.
As the commission had no juris
diction outside of California the Ore
gon business men contend that they
i
were left without relief. Petitions,
to the railroad to grant proportionate
rates in Oregon were denied, they
claim, and an appeal was finally made "
to the government. *

BATAVIA, Netherlands Bast Indies,
€)ec. 21.—The war seems to have giv
en an impetus to industrial develop
ment in Java. One notable instance
Is the extension of the Bandoeing quin.
ineine manufactory, which is to be'
completed by January next. When
the daily output has been raised to
2,000 kilograms it is expected that it
will be possible to work the entire
cinchona-bark crop of Java, thus obvi
ating the necessity of shipment to
Europe and effecting an enormous
saving of cargo space. Such new in
dustries as an ink manufactory and
varnish works have been established.
