TAKE PU1CEIN BAKER GiTY LA GRAXDE WILL MAKE STREXC OUS EFFORTS AT THAT TIME. Sec u ranee of Lower Dlstrlbntatbe - Rates an Important Question. Instead of holding the dlstributa tive rate hearing at Portland the Ore gon railroad commission Is coming to Baker City November 26, and the hear ing will be held there. This makes It more convenient , flor ' . La , Grande, Baker City and Pendleton to attend the hearing, originally scheduled for Portland. No rate regulation can be more im portant to La Grande than distributive rate hearings. With such a privilege, La Grande merchants can compel with Portland in supplying good3 to Interior towns, and county towns be cause such rates will 'give equitable freight charges to all points wlthh a certain radius of the city, to be made large enough, to Include Wal lowa county. Baker City already has some distributive rates but ' she seeks more, and La Grande has none but will make a concerted effort to get them at this meeting. Because of the fact that the hearing will be so near La Grande, it will be possible to send a larger delegation of legal lights to fight for La Grande's inter est, than would be possible if the hearing took place In Portland. . Distributive rates for La Grande will mean that local merchants, can conlpete with Portland merchants In distributing goods and in turn means a Tast amount of business now slip ping by them because of the local rate charges will come this way.
