I ilf^ Big Saying In Cost Of Transportation -Daizy Products May be Ship ped in Refrigerators That Boat Lines Must Furnish t- An action of immense impor tance to the dairy industry of the whole northwest is now pend ing before the Interstate Com mission at Washington. In the result is involved a saving of transportation costs of over three quarters of a million dollars to the producers of butter, eggs The action if successful, woulfl £vered require the boat lines operating on the great lakes to install^ re frigerator facilities for the trans portation of butter, eggs, poul-' try and dressed meats, from Du luth to Buffalo and bther lake ports. At present the boat lines re fuse to furnish such facilities: The result is that all of the traf fic moves all-rail at a rate of $1.05 per 100 pounds from Dq luth. or the twin cities to New York City, wheras the rate on the boat lines for the same class of traffic is 65 cents per 100 pounds from Duluth, a difference of 40 cents. The case was brought by the Bridgeman & Russell Co. of Du luth, a central creamery but every owner of dairy herds and flocks of chickens, every co-opera tive creamery and private crea mery, and every man interested in the development of the dairy ing and poultry industries in the northwest is as vitually interest ed as the company in whose name it is brought. N 5! Seeing the prospects of Du luth becoming a great assembling center for butter and egg ship ments by water and the proba bility, of great development: in the northwest if the case is suc cessful,- the Traffic. Commission of the Duluth Commercial' club has joined the Bridgeman & Russell Co. in the (preparation of tfye case. The commission re cently won a signal victory in obtaining a reduction in the rail and lake rates from the east to Duluth, with consequent benefit .to all of the northwest and the members of the commission have high hopes that they will be successful' in the action now pen ding. On behalf of the producers of butter, eggs and poultry in Min nesota, the state railroad and warehouse commission has inter vened in t^ie case, and undoubt edly many other interested par ties will join in support of the Ketion. The territory whieh would be .served by adequate facilities for refrigerated transportation on th great lakes includes Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and .seventeen counties in northern Wisconsin. The territory does not begin to consume its entire production ofd butter, eggs and dressed poultry and full 90 per icent of it is now shipped out of the 'territory. Of the ship ments 70'' per go to- the markets at the east, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Now York,, Pitts burgh and Other cities, Minnesota in 1912 produced 131 Jit£ 500,000 pounds ^f 40 per cent of the amount was eonaummed in the state/ and of the remainder, 70 per eent went to markets east of Buffalo* In the 'j| wme year North Dakota pro^ dnced 13,906,244 pounds of but ter, of which 11,806,244 ponnds 4§kwere available for shipment. 'Sduth^Dakota produced 20,432, 280 pounds of butter,' of which ^18,389,052 pounds were available #tfor shipment. The seventeen countiefe of nor thern Wisconsin produced 25^55r 843 pounds, of which 23,259,000 founds were available for ship ment. sin the same year the egg pro duction of.

With refrigerator facilities provided, most of the traffic destined for Philadelphia, New York and other eastern points would seek the lake route, especially since better time could be made, con sidering delays in switching at Chicago, and it is the opinion of refrigerating experts that the. products could be delivered in the east in better condition after transportation by lake than by rail, with consequent higher prices offered. Butter, eggs and poultry are sold on the basis of prices de livered at the market. Obvious- ly if the products could be de better the eagt prices condition in would be held at least to the present level, and the producers would reap- the benefit of the reduced transpor tation charges. •, The refusal of the boat lines to provide facilities for refriger ated transportation to date may be traced to the fact that the package freight boats, which are the only ones which could be so equipped, are owned and con trolled by the rail lines east of Chicago, which obtain the traf fic at a higher rate in conse quence of the water highway being close to it. With the eastern market open ed on more favorable terms to the dairymen and poultry raisers of the northwest, accelerated de velopment may be expected in those industries: For that rea son the case is of immense im portance and its result will be watched with interest by all people interested in northwest de velopment.
