Seeks to Enlighten Mr.
Graff on Rate Questions—
Says Wool Stored in Port
land to Await Advance in
Market.
By JOEL, L. PRIEST,
(General Agent Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company)
Well, good morning, Mr. Graff. Did
.. . . ..... . ,
the smoke get « little too thick for
you? Come in and take a seat, for
you are more than welcome. Let us
examine a few of your stater..ents.
As to the wool question. I am glad
that you are correcting the statement
made in the telegram to the congres
sional delegation in which you stated
that 6,000,000 pounds of Idaho wool is
In storage at Portland. Ten per cent of
Idaho's wool production is about 2.000,
000 pounds. Are we to judg? all of
your statements by the accuracy of
this?
And did you ever consider, Mr Graff.
that such wool as has been shipped to
Portland may have been shipped there
for speculative purposes? Take, for
example, a ear of wool that was aet
ually shipped from Buhl to Portland
Now the rate on wool from Buhl t<
Port laud is $1.02. The rat
from Port
land to Boston is $1. which, by-the
way, Is in bales only. The rate on wool
In bags Portland to'Boston is $2.25.
There is a charge of about 15 cents for
baling. This makes a grand total of
$2.18. The same wool could have been
shipped from Buhl to Boston for $1.80,
a difference of 30 cents per hundred
weight in favor of Buhl.
STORED FOR AN ADVANCE.
Do you know why this was done, Mr.
Graff? I think 1 can enlighten you. It
was simply in order to store the wool
in Portland in the hope that the price
would go up. and the rate had no more
to do with it than the nebular hypo
thesis. In regard to other wool mat
ters, surely your experience in rail
road service and in the service of the
Boise Commercial club has taught you
glit you
that rates are not made, as a rule, un
til application therefor has been put in.
To jny knowledge there has been no
application for commodity rates on :
woolen cloth or on scoured wool from
this territory. Naturally, until a com
modity rate is established class rate
which are generally higher, must apply. '
As to the marketing of the product j
aiming factory. You
of the Payett
lay that their success has boon due to
an unusual condition. Let me say to
you that that condition has prevailed,
then, ever since the factory was estab
lished, because they have never had
any serious Double marketing their
r>ack.
THE MONTANA RATE.
T am glad you dug up that corre
spondence about the Montana rate.
Our letter to you shows very clearly
that the Short Line was willing to pub
lish the rate desired to Montana ter
ritory, that we asked permission from
the northern lines to oublish the rate
and that our request was denied.
Surely, Mr. Graff, with all of the sins
that we may be properly answerable
for, you are not going to list this"one
against us.
You certainly know we cannot con
trol the northern lines. The rate from
Utah to that territory was established
before the canning industry on the
northern lines reached the large pro
portions of today. If they will not let

YOUR HAIR AND

Hair becomes charming, wavy,

For a few cents you can .save your
hair. In less than ten minutes you can
double its beauty. Your hair becomes
light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap
pears as soft, lustrous and charm
ing as a young girl's aftor applying
some Danderine. Also try this—
moisten a cloth with a little Dan
derine and carefully draw It through
your hair, taking one small strand y

fying the hair, Dandorine dissolves ev

purifies and Invigorates the scalp,

will be after a few weeks' use, wfc'Ut

pretty, soft hair, and lots of it. surely
get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or

If there Is a discrimination against
Idaho eanm ries In favor of Utah ean
neries in these Montana rates it is cer
ta inly not the fault of the Oregon Short
Lin*
As to the canned milk # rate I may
say that as far as my knowledge goes
there was n« v er a request for a rate on
condensed milk out of this territory
land it was natural enough that none
should move when there was none to
move.
Thank you for your kind words
about the potato question. I am glad
that we have your approval along that
line, at least.
ABOUT THE APPLE RATE,
Now let us look into the apple rate,
In this line you take altogether too
much for granted. You soy "The
thought probably comes to you that
we never ship apples to the southeast
cm states. You are right, but Some
: at
m
body else does." As a matter of fact,
Mr. Gralf. a great many carloads of
Idaho apples moved during the fall
and early winter to the southeastern !
kets. ]
There is a large establishment with- '
in two blocks of the Commercial club 1
' that wou m have given you full Infor- j
j on this subject had you made I
j miU jry there. In all the shipping sea- j
I never heard a complaint from'
establishment or from any other)-'*
lucer of apples as to rates. It may
that some of these rates are out j
llne, bat generally spqpklng thej
s from Idaho to the markets of I
country are lower than the rates:*
rtluud and this is particularly]
important markets. |
lr Graff that tliol
f rom
true of the more
Do you know,
lates on apples from Idaho are, in
about 96 per cent of the cases, the same!
as the rate from Utah, which is 435
miles closer to the markets? If you J
don't vou know that you are entitled j
, . „of
to know so you can call attention to It
in your next able rate article, because
it is true.
HOW ABOUT CONSUMER?
Thank you also for your kind com
ment on the distributing rates out of
Boise. We all know that they have re
sulted in a tremencÄms decrease in l lie
cost of living to the consumers who,
after all, should be the parties most
considered. All of us know, of
ourse, j
that these reduced rates have been
freely and generously passed along to
the families who are obliged to pay 1
the bill, in tlie final analysis. Any I
head of a house who will examine his i
bills before and after these rates were |
pul into effect will, of course, find that
he got the benefit of the reductions I
Just as he got the benefit of the re
duetion in the coal rates. You know !
I
how that was. Mr. Gruff.
1 would like to elaborate further on j
your interesting paper but I hear the
voice of a large, plumb gentleman in
the offing saying, in tones not calcu
lated to soothe the ambitious author,
"Goddlemighty, why don't you fellows
hire a hall?"
