Good Bean Market Here

Because of the extremely high rate
on beans shipped from Pomeroy as
compared to the rate in other towns,
James Thompson, bean buyer of
Spokane, is unable to take over nine
cars of beans produced in Garfield
county and now ready for shipment
at the warehouse in Pomeroy.
Mr.. Thompson says Kendrick and
other points have what is called a
cleaning and transport rate"
which is AZ IL less than the rate
now existing on the Pomeroy route.
This" said Mr.. Thompson, lot
course makes the purchase of beans
at a fair market price here prohibit
tive at this time. Pomeroy men
are now cooperating with our
house at Spokane to get the reduced
rate put in effect here as soon as
possible. When this is accomplish
ed your beans here will come into
the market at the regular price"
This matter will have to be taken
up with the interstate commerce
commission.
Mr.. Thompson said he found the
beans here of very good quality
He is paying cents for beans f. o.

beans will be worth just as much as
