Exorbitant Lumber Rates Not Popu
lar Subject for Discussion.
LOCAL OFFICIALS BLAME HELL
Assert that Ills Itoada, on Which
Shipments Originate, Are He
aponslble for the Heavy
Increase.
Railroad officials In Omaha are averse to
discussing the coming ralso In lumber rates
from tho Pacific northwest coast to tho
middle country, though they do not at
tempt to deny that tho rates, already very
high, are to be forced up as much higher
as the avarice of railroads and public pa
tience will permit.
Tho comprehensive revelation of the sit
uation made by The Bee has occasioned
much comment and aroused a very lively
Interest In this subject, which is patent to
every man who builds or lives In a house
or In any other way usese lumber or Is af
fected by Its use. Aa was shown, tha
enormous advance In freight rates has
been the means of, vastly Increasing the
price of lumber, sending both up almost to
prohibitive figures, and yet the roads are
planning another advance for October 1.
"The originating lines should do the ex
plaining," said one official, "and not tha
lines who get the short end of the haul.
It Is for the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern to tell the reason."
Ko More Competition.
Railroad officials say that one reason for
the raise Is that the lumber from that coun
try no longer has to compete with the
shorter haul from Michigan and Wisconsin
woods where the lumber haa been pretty
thoroughly cut out.
"As long aa those states were producing
lumber In seemingly endless quantities It
was necessary to make exceptionally low
rates from the Pacific northwest to get
any of that lumber to move at all, but since
the competition has been removed the rail
roads propose to raise the rates to a point
where they can make a large profit,-' said
one official.
The railroad men also maintain they are
not wholly reiponslble for the great raise
In tho price of . lumber and the cost on
that commodity has been advancing ma
terially for some time, while the freight
rates have been romalnlng stationary.
"There Is much public clamor in Omaha
about the heavy advance In house rents,
and In looking around for the causes which
produce these Increases renters might con
sider this very situation of freight ratea
on lumber," said a builder and renter of
houses. "This has been going on for some
time and the roads, which seem to have
conspired to punish the people for tha
laws the people have been enacting to cus
corporation greed may be blamed."
