MEETING OF THE
LEAGUE S. I. c. C..
Convention of Delegates of CONNER.
CiaI Clubs, at Twin Falls, Nov. Is.
The Coal Question.

AT the meeting of the CONNER
cial club, Tuesday evening, the
members voted to donate to J. A.
Purtill $50 for his services as Sec
retary of the county fair.
They also appointed as del
egates 10 the convention al Twin
Falls, which met the 18th, II. J.
Dick, B. B. Swan and J. A. Siffert.
The delegates returned from
Twin Falls we'll pleased with
their trip, and report considerable
business transacted, which will
eventually be OF great help to the
towns represented by delegates at
the meeting.
The report of the committee on
resolutions, of which w, N.
Northrop of Boise was chairman,
provoked some animated discus
sion. The section of the report
that caused the most debate re-
lated to the coal situation in
southern Idaho. The resolution
gave the transportation committee
of the league power to take the
question up and secure, if pos
sible, relief from the existing. fuel
famine. The resolution, contin-
uing, said:
"That an immediate arrange
ment be made whereby coal can
not only be obtained to relieve
present wants, but that regular
supply for future needs shall be
arranged for, and that said COM
mittee are by this league empow-
cred to thoroughly examine rail"
road freight rates on coal, and il
it shall be found that there are
discriminating rates in effect that
said committee take the whole
matter before the Interstate Com
merce commission"
The delegates who discussed this
question were unanimous in q
desire to have the league act
promptly and vigorously, the
only question being as to the
means to be employed. Assistant
General Freight Agent F. H. Plais-
ted of the Oregon Short Line, who,
with several other railroad repre-
sentatives, was present, was called
upon. He said that in his opin-
ion the league was going about the
matter in very proper way, and
he assured the delegates of the
hearty cooperation of the Short
Line. So far as the present coal
shortage was concerned, he said,
the Short Line was putting forth
herculean efforts to relieve it.
General Manager Bancroft had
given positive orders that no cars
should be used excepting for coal
shipments until the shortage was
relieved, making reservation only
in the case of livestock and per-
ishablee. At the present time, he
said, there were empty cars left
over every night at the mines in
Wyoming. He prophesied a
speedy relief. Mr.. Plaisted, con.
tinuing, stated that the Short Line
would be very glad to have the
league committee investigate its
methods of handling this situa.
ton, and also the question OF
rates. eff it can be shown" he
added, chat the rate on coal in
southern Idaho is too high, you
can depend on it the Oregon Short
Line will make reduction" This
statement was received with gen.
erous applause. After some fur
ther discussion, the resolution was
adopted.
Other resolutions adopted dep
recate the sending of thousands of
dollars to mail order houses from
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1906-11-20

this state each year, and pledge
the league to use its influence with
Wholesale merchants to induce
them to purchase, so far as pos
sible, from manufacturers who re-
fuse to sell to mail order houses;
express appreciation of the im-
portance of rnral telephones, and
recommend that commercial clubs
foster the plan of private owner
ship OF such lines; instruct the
transportation committee to Sc
cure. if possible, a Pullman in and
out of Boise on night trains; re-
quest Cne same committee to take
up with the railroad the question
of salt rates, and attempt to secure
a reduction; petition the next leg
islature to enact law requiring
-four manufacturers to stamp the
weight on each sack, and make
the legal weight for a barrel OF
-four 1876 pounds; provide for the
employment of a special commit
tee to devise means to procure la
Dor to meet the demands of differ.
