Formal complaint has been filed with the railroad coin mission by the Enterprise Commer cial club, charging unjust discrimi nation against Enterprise and Joseph on the part of the O. R. and N. The complaint alleges that the railroad favors Elgin and the other towns nearer the mail line, and that con tinuous distance tariffs are applied to all towns on main or branch lines except those on the Wallowa exten sion, and that the branch rate there Is proportional to mileage added to continuous tariff on all . business originating or destined to the towns beyond Elgin. Wool Is the principal commodity shipped in sacks and bales from these towns. The railroad commission has noti fied the Oregon Railway & Navi gation company and It will be asked to Bhow the alleged discrimination does not exist and why the condi tions complained of are maintained. The foregoing dispatch Is In the main correct. The complaint If suc cessful will do away with the double local rates betwean Wallowa valley points and La Grande on both Incom ing and outgoing freight, and bone fit every consumer and producer In the county. The reductions In freight would amount to thousands of dollars annually. 7 p. m No preaching in the even In0: on account of Temperance Mass meeting at Presbyterian church, ad dressed by Rev. E. T.
