From the second biennial report OF
the Idaho state dairy food and oil
commission is taken the following:
The work of the commissioner
since the passage of the food law of
1908, has thoroughly demonstrated
the necessity of segrcgating the two
departments, horticultural inspection
and food inspection. We urgently
recommend that the powers of the
commissioner be enlarged, so as to ex-
tend his work to the inspection of
drugs, medicines, paints, oils, liquors
and commercial stock foods, the COM
mission finding much work to be ac-
complished in these lines.
a slight examination of the COM
mercial stock food in the markets of
this state. discloses extensive adulter-
ating and misbranding of such arti-
cles. The same is true of drugs, medi-
cines, paints, oils and liquors, which
also furnish larger field for fraud
uient and worthless commodities.
Some very interesting items are
gathered from Mr.. Hits report.
So far he has selected about 27O
samples of food products. OF these
lS4 samples were tested; 80 were
found legal and 104 illegal.
He has visited and inspected 521 of
the 1886 grocery stores in the state, 100
butcher shops, besides many creamer-
les, dairies, warehouses, flour mills
slaughter houses and. as sealer and

COMPLAINTS ARE NUMEROUS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Be.
seiged With Kiclsers.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Lane, who has direct charge of amel-
iorating coal and car famine condi-
tions in the northwest. is in daily re-
ceipt of letters from coal dealers and
residents in North Dakota, Minneso-
ia. Wyoming and Idaho, says a Wash
ington dispatch.
Some of the writer's go to the eX-
tent of saying that in many instances
freight trains have not passed rail-
road stations for month or six
weeks and that hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been lost to the far
mers and elevator men, particularly
in North Dakota, by reason of their
failure to obtain cars to move their
wheat and flax.
Commissioner Lane toGay received
letter, which is a sample of many,
from Cheyenne, n. D., which stated
that on November 26 a car was billed
from that point and that December
II the car was still on the side
track and freight train had not
passed up or down for weeks.

formation relating to conditions in
Idaho states;
"rhc serious trouble, it seems to
me, is the fact that among the trans
portation companies the one import
ant consideration i'm their manage
ment, is the securing of dividends
without regard to service rendered
to the people. The latter considera-
ton is entirely lost sight Of"
Governor Gooding Aroused.
The governor of Idaho informs the
commissioner that he will recommend
the creation of a railroad commission
in his annual message to the legisla-
ture. Governor Gooding includes in
his letter a copy of a report made by
the immigration commissioner, who,
after an analysis of existing condi-
tions, concludes that the coal famine
in western Wyoming, south and
southeast Idaho, is due to a shortage
in motive power and cars.

May Mean d Fine Hotel.

While no announcement has been made
as TO the Improvement of the Walker
corner purchased by Mr.. Newhouse, it has
been rumOred for several weeks that a
hotel building viii ultimately be erected
here. Walker Brothers were connected
with this rumOr, but they denied that any
plans had been definitely settled upon
last week. The property is admirably
suited for hotel purposes. Salt Lake de-
mands another hosiery and it is very
probable the structure will be erected.
General satisfaction is expressed among
real estate and other business men over
the fact that the property sold yesterday
on Main and State streets has passed into
Mt NeWhOuSe's hands. 1t is certain that
aside from the two big buildings already
planned, other structures of a mercantile
nature VIII be erected, facing on State.
