Portland papers freely admit thu
La Grande and Baker and the other
Interior towns profiling by the recent
raw reductions, will become jobbing
centers of at least a small scale. The
Oregonlan sums up the situation this
way: .'.. .';.'';'
Trade relations throughout the
northwest will be readjusted as a re
sult of the- interstate- commerce com
mission's decision in the Spokane rate
case, in the opinion of Portland traffic
men and attorneys. The carriers will
be forced to cut thetr raVs to meet
the ruling established by the commls
slon. Some railroad men predict mark
ed reduction in earnings s a rtsuH
while others said yesterday that iu
creused business would discount me
loss in revenue.
The more op imlatlc see an Indirect
benefit to all concerned. In the end,
they say, business will be on a sifer,
mere economical and more substantial
basis. , ' ';' '':'!
While Spokane receives the benefit
ot terminal rate8 on - ail ihipments
originating west of the Missouri river.,
other cities in the interior lecelve the
same rates. The Spokane rates from
the various eastern sores, in which
the carriers are allowed to charge
from 7 to 5 per cent more to Spokane
than to Portland, also will apply to
Baker, Walla Walla, La Grande artd
Willametle valley points and cities
east of Spokane.
Small Jobbers Are Helped.
The natural effect will be the estab
lishment of small jobbing centers n
each of these citlea, on the sound bus
ness rule that it, will not be economy
to pay the local rate from Sjokane
when the saraa rate thnt Spokane en
Joys may be obtained from the points
of origin. - j . .
,On poods coming froiu west of the
Missouri river these small towns will
have the same rate as Portland. The
towns In which Por.land r.cw tran
sacts Jobbing! and wholesale h.islnuss
may establish small joll-lng houses ot
their own.
While Portland mny lose some of
this detailed wholesale trade, the busi
ness will drift Into hls city in other
forms. The banking of these, smnll
wholeRl? establishments naturally
will flow to this city. To a large ex
tent the payrolls will be expended
hre. Building material wil be bought
here. . Other business accrultrg from
whatever Industries spring up In th
Interior -'owns as a result of the de
cision will come to Portland, which Is
the natural financial and commercial
nter of the territory which it has
of this decision, that large distributing
houses in the Missouri river territory,
such as are situated in St Paul, Om
aha, Kansas City, St. Joeph' and other
points, will make a deefded effort to
jxtend their trade into this territory
Repr sentativcs of St. Louis and Chi
cago bouses; which will .be under a
charge of 7 per cent more to ship into
interior points than to Pdrtland, de
clare that they will meet this competi
tion by a cut in prices sufficient to
discount the 7 per cent, advantage of
this Missouri river competitors. How
tvr, with the advantage of 7 per cent,
always in their favor, the Missouri
river towns are likely, to control com
petitive trade, sa'd well informed stu
dents of the situation yesterday.
A (vfrtsln effect of the decision will
be to force Portland to patronize hs
water routes more extensively in the
future. . Wi:h the completion of th;
Panama canal thlB coursf will become
more practicable and will.; be more
practiced. In this way Portland will
regain and maintain any, advantage
that Spokane has gained by this de
cision. , ., " .
In view of this diversion of traffic
to the water, lines,' the' railroads may
decide to cut rates to the terminals,
and consequently by the. ruling of the
commission to the interior. It is cer
tain that the' rates to Portland and
other terminals will not be Increased.
However, whether Spokane will be
able to invade any of the territory now
held by Portland will depend, largely
upon the decision in the dl ributiv
rate' cases now pending before the
Washington railroad commission and
which likely will be followed by like
action on the part of thst Oregon com
mission, i '. '' '
benefitted by said improvement is as
follows: . . .
East half of blocks 7, 8 and 9 and
west half ot blocks 14, 15 and 16 all
in Grandy's addition to the city of La
Grande, Oregon.
Notice is' hereby further given that
the council will levy a special assess-
' . ... .jran(A(1 nnn
ment on all tne proper buw
benefi ted by such improvement for
f niirooge of paying for sucn im
provement. That the estimated cost Of
such improvement is xne eum
197.50. That the council will, on the
second day ot August, 1911, meet at
the council chamber at the nour oi ?
o'clock' p. m.. to consider said esxr
mated cost, and the levy ot said as
KPSBsment. when a hearing will bi
