In an order Issued by the State Rail
road commission, dlvnlsing. the case
of Baker Commercial club et al, (In
cluding La Grande) against the O.-
W. The linker club led the fight from
the start to get lower rates and the
other towns fell in" with the Intention
of obtaining distributive rates to out
lying district. But; that the state com
mission is going to give uniform rate
without the cities fighting for them
is also contained in the information
dlmlssing the original action. On the
15tb of this month , the commission
' Will ciuineiice eBiHuiiHiiuiK uuiiwu
rates to Eastern Oregon and at that
time the cities directly Interested will
be represented.
Fred Holmes of the M. & M. Co.
of this city will attend, for one. from
this city and It Is likely that all towns
that could use distributive rateB to
advantage will be represented at the
meeting. '
Th decision Is, in a way, a direct
victory for Eastern Oregon cities as I;
Insures tihem uniform rates without
thw cKIes themselves tnklng the In
