Local em rchants expect to collect , these rebates. The cost of collection ; will be small and the amount of raon-; ey Involved Is really large. At this time It Is impossible to get a conser vative estimate on the aggregate Bum, . but such firms aa the Golden Rule, The. Pa pr Store, The Peoples Store, N. IC West and others, do a vast ' amount of shipping yearly, and as the state railroad commission decided t that every shipment from Portland to, La Grande from May 1, 1908 up to date was excessive by 14 per ;ent, it will be readily Been that amounts involved are large. In some instan ces hundreds of dollars of rebate money are; due each firm. The fight, on the part, of the rail -i road promlseB to be stubborn.
