A reliable gentlemen who was in
Lexington, from Decatur county, a
few days ago, made the statement
that when Farmer J. M. Rushing
made the race for Pictorial Repre-
sentative, from the counties Of De-
catur and Benton, the Hon. l. M.
Rhodes made 1t his business in
Benton county to do all he could
against Farmer Rushing for the
benefit Of Lawyer Henry Fisher.
We have no criticism to make Of
the legislative record Of Henry
Fisher. who was elected, but we
cannot fail towonder how the great,
and loving, disinterested heart of
Lucien Rhodes permitted him to op-
pose the actual, farmer and permit
him to advocate the election Of a
Republican lawyer.

EXPRESS CUMPAhY
MUST CUT OUT CHARGE
Public Service Commission
Comes to Relief of Dairy
Interests

Impressed with the Importance of the
dairy business to the lire of Eastern
Oregon, the public service commission
today reduced the rate on the express
charges, for hauling milk, cream and
other oalry products as charged by the
American Express company from 25
cents to 10 cents for Is mile haul on
a ten-gallon can, from SO cents to %
for a 90 mile haul, from 81 to 2S cents
for a 20 mile haul, and from 40 cents
% 32 cents for a 100 mile haul, and
other shipments in proportion. The
charges heretofore assessed for trans
fer from one car to another in ship
ping from one railroad line to another,
which amounts to four cents on ten
gallon can, were eliminated by the or
der of the commission as unjust and
unreasonable.
The investigation Of the milk and
cream shipments in Eastern Oregon
was ON the motion of the commission
and the hearing was held in La Grande
on November 10. Representatives of
the American Express company, the
big creameries at Portland, and the var
i0us independent creameries situated in
Eastern Oregon.
Regarding the extra charge for trans
fer of cans from one car to another, the
order of the commission says "This
provision is not carried in the tariffs
of other express companies which are
under the jurisdiction Of the commits
sion and which operate under substan.
tally the same conditions. nor is any

on any other commodity. either by the
American cypress company or other ex-
press companies doing business in this

Maeleay, Ore, Dec. lS.-Macleay is
making one of the greatest bids for
popularity ever made by any eommuni-
ty, in her preparation for the great
Christmas program to be given Friday
evening of this week, at the Macleay
hall. Uneeasing activity is the only
phrase that will describe the prepara-
tion adequately. Rehearsals, three
nights a week, are usual, and this con-
tinued work is rapidly whipping those
taking part into shape. Never before
has such concerted effort been put up
on a program in this community.
To appreciate this program, one must
see it. Every one is welcome. The
parent-teacher' association urges ev-
eryone TO attend and promises in re.
turn for this, the best time they ever
had and an acceptable gift for each.

con the other hand, the creamery
located in La Grande, in Elgin, in
llowa,-whetever it may be, has
very little voice in the making of the
price that is paid to the farmer for his
commodity today. 1t is done in the
centralized district; it is done in the
city of Portland, Seattle and the city
of San Francisco. When the price of
butter fat goes up the creamery in La
Grande is never consulted; when it
goes down it is never consulted. A
creamery ships butter from La Grande
to Portland today and he does not know
what he is going to get for it. He
doesn t know the grade it will be when
it gets to Portland. He may assume
it is a certain grade, but when it gets
to Portland it is in the hands of the
purchaser or the middleman and he ae.
cepts the grade it is given and he has
no recourse.
81 can show you an instance where
there was shipment which was sent
half to the city of Portland and halt
to the city Of Seattle, ,xactly the
same grade of butter; it came from
the same churning. In Seattle he re
ceived the price of first grade, in Port
