WANT LOWER EXPRESS
RATES TO PENDLETON

F. ]. German. a prominent irriga-

has called attention to an inequality
in the express rates between Hermis-
ton and Pendleton as compared with
the rates from Milton to Pendleton.
The rate from Milton is 40 cents per
hundred on fruits and vegetables,
while the Hermistonians are charged
60 cents per hundred on the ship
ments made to this city.
This is an unjust discrimination, ac-
cording to Mr.. German and he has
placed the matter before the Pendle-
ton Commercial club with a request
that the cooperation of the club be
given in asking for lower rate from
Hermiston. This assistance has been
granted and steps are already being
taken by Secretary Jack Keefe to lay
the matter before the proper Off
cials.
