SHIPPERS DELAY
COAST TRAFFIC
Railroads Are Checking to
Locate Reason for Car
Shortage

NEW YORK. June 24-Figures
riman show the great extent to which
Pacific coast shippers are delaying the
unloading of freight cars urgently
needed to move the record breaking
freight traffic on the Southern Pacific.
The records of the principal California
and oregon shipping centers show that
per day were neId overtime for un-
since April / an average of 1862 cars
loading on the Hartman lines in this
territory.
From that date to May / conditions
grew rapidly worse, but the June rec
ords show considerable Improvement,
owing to the railroads insistence that
cars be released. Portland shippers, on
April 1, were holding 674 cars, which
they had increased to S23 on May 1.
and reduced to ZIG by June IL. San
Francisco, which had 1850 cars tied
up on April /, was holding 1883 May
1, and 1,640 June IL. Oakland's rec
ord was 494 for April /, 429 for May
/, and 365 the middle Of this month.
Sacramento and Los Angeles shippers
are holding $50 more cars now than
on May /.
The average number of cars so with
held from service aggregates over 20
per cent of the total new equipment
bought by the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific for delivery up to
July /. This new equipment amounts
to 5000 cars for the latter system and
1000 for the Union Pacific lines. The
advantage shippers would derive from
this large addition to the Hartman
lines equipment, involving an outlay
of $31,000,000, is materially offset by
shippers delays in unloading and re-
leasing cars.
Owing to the freight congestion four
months ago; when the Southern Pacific
was loading 40 cars a day into San
Francisco in excess of the number of
cars unloaded, warning was given that
embargoes or increased demurrage
charges would be necessary If cars
were not released more promptly.
These warnings have been repeated
more lately in other quarters, and the
utmost effort is being made by the
company to secure the cooperation of
shippers in getting the freest use of it's
cars and to make shippers realize that
the use of freight cars as storage
warehouses is unfair both to the rail-
road and to other shippers.

FIRST CLAIM
ON TELEPHONE
French Inventor Discovered
the Principles Prior to
Bell Patent

PARIS, June 24.--It is generally be-
lieved that the inventor of the tele-
phone is the distinguished American
scientist, Graham Ball. But this dis
| tinction has been claimed for a much
less important man. postoff1ce em-
ploye named Bourseul, who, for some
years has been retired on a pension.
Bourseurs claims are vouched for
by M. Montjeot, former postmaster
general, and by the association of tele-
phone subscribers in this city.
1t was in 1854 that Bourseul, after
vainly offering his invention to the
French post, published full descrip-
ton of it in several technical periodi-
Gals. The principle of the instrument
was identically similar with that of
the telephone for which letters patent
were applied for by Graham Bell at
Washington % years later, namely,
Feb. IA, 1876.
M. Montjeot is in possession of doc
uments showing that the old employee
spent five years. endeavorfng to induce
the postoffice to take up his invention
Some years ago the old man went to
NJ. MontJeot to tell him that his small
pension was insufficient, alleging his
claims as reason for its increase. M.
Montjeot thought he was a harmless
lunatic, but. on looking into the arch
ives he found his contention was only
too true, and with the consent Of the
government increased the pension to
$500.
This sum, paid regularly for the
last i've or six years, is all NJ. Bour-
seul ever got for his epoch making In
vention.

MEXICAN BURRO
TRANSPORTATION

WASHINGTON, D, c.. June "a
vice Consul General Albert de Baer
of Mexico City, reporting on the rela-
tive commercial possibilities of the
| Mexican burro, says:
"The Mexican burro, or donkey, is
an animal which, in spite of its lowly
condition and almost poetical patience,
has played an important role in the
commercial life of this country as one
Of the means of transportation of mer-
chandise. The traffic between the rail-
road stations and interior points must
still be handled by burro transporta-
ton. While the OK cart is in use in
many parts of the country, the burro
is much the swifter carrier. The bur-
70 is also an important factor in the
mining industry, chiefly as an ore car
rier. SD s {
"In the cities he serves in a variety
of capacities, being used to carry char
coal. vegetables, forage or any other
article that his master desires to
transport, matter gagged only by the
strength of the burro's back. The lit
tie animals ration consists of barley,
wheat straw alfalfa and other forage.
can animal of average weight. 500
pounds, will carry in the neighborhood
of 22o pounds and travel an average
distance OF SO miles per day. Very few
burros are sold in the City of Mexico.
the principal market being in the
states of Guerrero, Hidalgo. Puebla
and Oaxaca. Prices vary from $3.50
to $3.50, United States currency, and
in the City of Mexico a burro trained
to certain work viii bring an average
price of about $50.
1.-THE burro is raised almost solely
for home use. there being very few ex-
ported and these going to the United
States and Cuba. During the first half
of the fiscal year of 1so4-5 there were
imported from the United States "a
head of asses; during the second half
Of the year. 1s1 head"

PROSPECTUS
OF new STATE
Contour Shows Material Re-
sources Unequalled Else
where In Union

The prospectus of the proposed new
state has been before the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce for considera-
BILE time, but as yet no reported action
has been taken nor the people at large
advised of what steps will be taken.
The prospectus was submitted by F.
H. Mason, president of the Holly Ma
son Hardware company; N. w. Dur
ham, managing editor of the Srokes-
man Review, and C. Herbert Moore
mayor of Spokane.
The booklet contains the data rela-
tive to the fruit division of the great
Northwest, first known as Oregon and
subsequent divisions which were ad-
vantageous to conditions of that time,
but the great development of the min
eral, agricultural, horticultural and
numbering interests in the parcel OF
country proposed for new statehood
are such that the former divisions are
a disadvantage to all sections con-
cerned.
The Lewiston people, through the
Commercial club, have expressed
themselves as unfavorable to a divi-
sion of the state Of Idaho for the pur-
pose of the formation of a new state.
but the boundaries of the new propo-
sition, advocated by Spokane are, new
ertheless interesting to the Lewiston
people.
The state OF Idaho would be severed
at point midway between the mouth
OF the Salmon river and Weiser, on
the Snake river. the line passing d.
rectly east to the Montana state line,
crossing the two forks of the Salmon
river above Salmon City.
The west boundary of the state OF
Idaho will be pushed west one-third OF
the distance across the state Of Ore
gon, passing but few miles east OF
Condor and Lake View.
The state of washington will be sew
cred by the same line passing north
tapping the yakima country but few
miles west of Prosser and the Big
Bend country just east of Waterville
The rest of the country now known
as north Idaho, eastern Washington
and eastern Oregon is calculated to
form the new state, Taking as 1t does
the greater per cent Of agricultural
district of eastern Oregon and Wash
ington and of the state of Idaho, prac-
tically the entire mining district Of
Oregon and Idaho, the big timbered
tracts of the. three states, the extern
of the states where immense water
power exists, the new formation would
Immediately become one of the mos
resourceful, most productive and tht
richest states in the Union.
