While there are tons and carloads
of potatoes for sale in the Lewiston
district, 1t is impossible to ship them
to Pendleton on account of the freight
rates. Consequently Pendleton is
shipping potatoes from Greeley, Col,
seven times the distance to Lewiston.
The freight rate on potatoes, in car
load lots from Lewiston to Portland,
distance of 414 miles, is but 37h
cents, while the rate on carload lots
from Lewiston to Pendleton, a dis
tance of 1S3 miles, is 54k cents per
100, or IA cents more than to Port
land.
Owing to this discrimination, pota-
toes are now being shipped here from
Greeley. Col, to supply the local mar
kets
The carload rate from Greeley to
Pendleton and Portland alike. is 55
cents per 100. a distance of 1900
miles to Pendleton. and as a result,
Colorado growers are supplying local
markets while Inland Empire pota-
toes are lying in the ground awaiting
the time when they will be sold for
hog feed or dumped into the river
Within the past two and a half
months ]. B, Despair. the wholesale
commission merchant, has imported
IL carloads of potatoes from Colorado,
Grand Ronde and Yakima, the bulk
of these coming from Colorado. He
has sold his entire amount in PEN
dleton, excepting 500 sacks, which
went to Echo and would have bought
entirely home grown potatoes. or at
least those grown in the Inland EN-
pire. if the freight rates had been
such that he could have handled
them.
This is a thrilling reminder of the
need Of intensive farming and diver
sifted farming in Umatilla county. |
The best potatoes coming to the PEN |

on the land belonging to ]. w. Fer |

Chicago. May 27.-The action of
the Building Trades association in dis
continuing contributions to the teams
ters' strike fund is regarded as a seri-
GUS blow to the teamsters in the con-
duct of the strike. The withdrawal
of support is said to be due to a con-
troversy between the teamsters and
the structural iron workers, who claim
the teamsters are in the habit of
handling iron after delivery, when it
should be turned over to the other
union. Aside from a few small con-
Germs there was no material extension
OF the strike today.
The attorneys for the unions are
preparing to ask for a writ of habeas

GRAFT WAS AGREED UPON.
Idaho Officials Said to Be Involved in
Land Scandals

No amount of explaining will sat
isfy the public, with reference to the
land board graft of the Emmett bench
Carey lands. A prominent republican
in speaking of the matter to the
Boise Capital News said Its dis
graceful showing to say the least
There is no merit in the claim
made by Governor Gooding that the
law cannot be invoked to prevent
members of the state land board from
grating. If the>board's version of the
law he correct, then the Carey act
becomes a mere tool, for grafters and
spo culators. and is not the assistant
to actual settlers as had all along
been supposed" The foregoing opin-
ion seems to be shared by the public
generally. feature, however, that
specially condemns the board, is that
of establishing stringent rules to gov
ern the action of the public in MAX
ing filings, etc, which the members
eff The board ignore, in an effort to
secure an undue advantage over the
actual settler.
From one who was on the inside of
the deal the Capital News learns that
the determination to graft was agreed
to with part of the officials, several
days previous to the opening of the
lands. The plan then was to accept
priority filing on the land, as the
real test, and it was arranged that
one or two persons should be armed
with proxies or powers of attorney for
the members of the land board and
Officers and friends of the canal COM
pany. These men were to secure
places as near the head OF the column
as possible, by staying up all night
II necessary. and when they rendered
their filings, Register Mcconnell was
to see to it that they got the desired
land.
