OLYMPIA, Wash., June 17.—The coming week will be a busy one for the state railroad commission. Today the commission appeared before Federal Judge Hanford at Seattle to resist the application of the O. R. & N. company to enjoin the proposed joint rate orders of the commission. Tuesday at Seattle and Wednesday at Tacoma the commission will continue the hearing begun this week to determine the value of railroad property in the state, and real estate men of those cities will give testimony as to the value of railroad properties at the terminals. Thursday at Olympia the commission will hear testimony on the proposed order to require the Northern Pacific to maintain a station at Velma, and Friday is the date for beginning here the hearing on the proposed joint rate order. Even in the event Judge Hanford grants the injunction against this the O. R. & N. asks, the commission announces it will go ahead with the hearing as to the other roads.
