 of logs coming up by river that is due here in about thirty days.

The traffic committee of the Lumbermen's Club sent out a notice to the 

 n embers a few days ago to the effect that an opinion from the Interstate

 pretation of the decision by the committee is that all loss and damage claims 

 presented to the railroads on or before .\pril, 1!)14, and those claims where 

 diunage took place two years prior to February fl, 1914, should, in the opin- 

 iipr. of the Interstate Commerce Commission, be adjusted on their merits 

 in order to prevent discriminations that might otherwise result. The com- 

 mission declined to pass on the reasonableness of the four months clause.
