The public utilities commission has
been notified that Iced refrigerator cars
will not be given preference over dry
refrigerators where the shipper loads
with apples and potatoes or other pro
ducts that are not Immediately perish
able. Joel L. Priest. Idaho agent for
the Oregon Short Line railroad, trans
mitted this information to the commis
sion under Instructions from Superin
tendent Reeves and other officials of
the road. It is also r enounced that th >
Oregon Short Line lias Issued orders
permitting tIv phipm< 'f cull apples
In box cars from points h.i far east as
Twin Falls and west as Welser to Mer
Idlnn to supply the driers in operation the
at the latter place. This order will
save many thousands of dollars to the
growers plnnning to place their culls
with the drier.
ADVANTAGE TAKEN.
'■It has always been a rule that an
feed refrigerator car had preference
over a dry car because of the fact only
perishable products are shipped in iced
cars," said Mr. Priest. "This rule was
established because of the supposition
♦hat a shipper desiring, we shall say
for Illustration, to pay $45 for icing of
n car to Chicago, had a perishable
product for shipment.
"However, it was not supposed that
orders would be placed for Iced cars
for the shipping of such products as
are not immediately perishable as has
been the case recently since the short
.•yvc in cars became serious. Shippers
Knowing of the rule that Iced cars had
preference placed orders for such cars.
Our company has had that rule broken
and hereafter during the shipping of
the products from this state there will
be no preference shown in the matter
of refrigerator cars."
TO CONSERVE CROP.
The complaint against showing
preference in Iced refrigerators poured
Into the public utilities commission
during the week. Skippers said that
orders they had placed for cars days
ago had not been filed, while èther
shippers ordering iced cars had been
given preference. This was held to
he unfair. The matter was called to
the attention of the Short Line offi
cials and the Pacific Fruit Express
company which supplies most of the
southern Idaho territory 1 with refrig
erator rolling stock.
It Is believed that the order of the
Short Line permitting the use of box
cars for the shipment of cull apples to
the driers at Meridian will greatly

OUTFIT FOR BALL PLAYERS.
Boise furnished its share of funds
to furnish a complete baseball outfit
for the professional players with the

was collected through the medium of
the Murphy cigar stores and sent to

ton team, Wednesday night. The first
baseball outfit sent abroad was lost
when the vessel it was on was torpe
doed. Notices were then sent over
the country for funds to secure anoth
er. A notice was sent to P. M. Davis,

matter over to that company. The re

Will Be Allowed.
Permanent Organization Is
Perfected by Placing Sec
retary on Stated Salary
and Authorizing Employ-,
ment of Office Help.
The executive committee of the «täte
council of defense, which has been re
organized, moved Wednesday night to
place the council on a permanent and
substantial basis. The committee de
cided that the council's secretary,
Joseph Hansen, should be paid a sal
ary of $200 per month and that ho
should be given the assistance of a
stenographer at a salary of $80 per
month.
The following resolution'relating to
the compensation of members of the
council was approved:
"Be it resolved that It Is the sense
of the executive committee of the state
council of defense that no members ot
the state council of defense shall secure
any compensation from the funds pro
vided for the council for services rend
ered in Its behalf other than order re
lnbursement for expenses actually in
curred, items of expense to be audited
by the executive committee before be
ing paid. This does not apply to the
secretary who shall receive a fixed
salary."
PAYMENT OF CLAIM8.
All claims against the state as the
result of indebtedness incurred by the
council shall be known ns "deficiency ;
war claims" and as such shall be au-'
thorized paid by the state board of ex
aminers after they are approved by the
executive committee of the council.
The finance committee of the council
will later take up the matter of provid
ing for the payment of these claims.
There is now no fund out of which they
may be paid, the legislature not hav
ing made an appproriation for a counsel
of defense not in existence at the time
tho law-makers met. It will become
necessary to have some banking Insti
tution carry the claims at an interest
rate of 7 per cent, until such a
time as it can be reinbursed by the
next legislature. When the council
was in session here it was stated by 1
members they believed there would not j
be the slightest difficulty in securing
an, advancement from a bank to meet
all the emergency indebtedness the
council might bring about.

It was decided to issue notices to all
peace officers in the state incorporât- j
