O R N Amends Minimum Freight Charge Rules
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company lowers minimum freight charges for small shipments to the rate per 100 pounds of the class it belongs to with a 25 cent minimum. Previously 100 pounds or more from Portland paid the highest class rate of 1.14 per 100 pounds, causing costs above item value. The change applies across O R N lines and similar tweaks are planned by Northern Pacific, the W P and Great Northern roads.
