Is FILED WITH STATE coMMls.
SION BY ENTERPRISE CON-
MERclAL CLUB.

Salem, April 28.-Formal complaint
has been filed with the railroad com
mission by the Enterprise CONNER
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 extern
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
fled the Oregon Railway & Navi
cation company and it will be asked
to show 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 sue
cessful will do away with the double
local rates between Wallowa valley
points and La Grande on both incom-
ing and outgoing freight, and bene-
fit every consumer and producer in
the county. The reductions in
freight would amount to thousands of
dollars annually.
