Rate ruling cuts inland freight costs to La Grande
The Interstate Commerce Commission decision lowers through freight rates for La Grande and Wallowa County, saving buyers and shippers about 100000 a year. Spokane and Portland compete, with La Grande gaining distributive rates and a maximum 2 percent penalty on 100 pound freight. Merchants hail the change as crucial to reduce Portland’s distribution dominance. The ruling excludes transcontinental parity for inland routes, and a new scheme must be filed by Oct 16 with traffic managers presenting revisions.
