COMPLAINT Ml
OF RA1LR0A0 RATES
IS FILED WITH STATE COMMIS
SION BY ENTERPRISE COM
MERCIAL CLUB.
Salem, April 28. 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.
