Special Rates Are Asked by Commission The public service commission through Commisisoncr Corey has made application to Secretary McAdoo in his character of Director General of Bail- roads for rates on ores from Grant county that will place them on equal terms with similar ores in Union coun ty. Grant county has one of the largest deposit Jl of chroma ore in the United States but it is of low grade averag ing about 34 per cent. This ore is in great demand by the government and as the government now controls the railroads its attention is called to '.ihis sourc.ii of supply. It costs $3.50 por ton ;o haul the ore from the mines to the Sumpter Valley railroad, a narrow gaugo, and its charge for hauling the ore to Baker is $3.40, to which is added a charge of 25 cenj a ton for trans fer. The O. W. R. & N. publishes rates from Joseph, located on a branch line 84 miles from La Grande, to eastern points tho same as from Baker. It is asked that it do the same thing with regard to the oiv?s from Grant county. To do this would require fjiat the main lines absorb the charges made in get ing the ores to Baker, which amount $7.15 a ton. As it is the ores of Grant county are discriminated against in this urn by the O. W. R, & N. Chroma ores ;.re essential in tho manufacture of ar mor plate, projectiles and many other things needed in conducting the war aod all sources of supply are being drawn 011 to meict the demand.
