THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY REFUSES TO RECEIVE STOCK SHIPMENTS FOR THE NEW ROAD.
Special to Evening Teller.
Stites, Ida., Dec. 30.—A shipment of seven carloads of hogs is being delivered from Grangeville because of the refusal of the Northern Pacific Railroad company to receive stock shipments for transportation over the new road. At the time the new line was placed in operation a livestock tariff of $25 per car in excess of the Stites rate was quoted, but the company served notice to the effect that the road would not be open for livestock traffic.
Since that time one of the large packing companies secured special privileges by the operation of a stock train out of Cottonwood, and the Grangeville shippers made a demand upon the company to supply that point with the same service.
Because of the frozen condition of the roads, stock buyers would prefer to pay the additional cost of $25 per car rather than make the drive to Stites, a distance of 20 miles, but all efforts to make shipment from Grangeville have been without success.
