THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

REDUCTIONS IN RATES FROM
OTHER POINTS UNDER
CONSIDERATION

January 16 there will go into effect
throughout Southern Idaho reduction
in express rates from Salt Lake City

ent rate from Salt Lake is Sc and
from Portland $5. rs. The new rates
which go into effect Jan. 18th will
be 81. so from Salt Lake and SIS from
Portland. This reduction will be the
means of saving thousands of dollars
month of Southern Idaho and will
be permanent benefit to the state.
The League to Southern Idaho Com
mercial Clubs has been preparing itself
for year to take active steps to Sc
cure a reduction in freight rates and
express rates. Another bill praying
for a reduction in rates from New
York City to all points in southern
Idaho has been filed and a hearing
on the same will be held in the course
of 80 or go days. The rate from New

The bill now before the Commission
prays that the express companies b,
required to publish through rat'

that through rate shall not be mor'
than $l1 and 81. so less than the pres
ent combination.
Senator Borah has been requestet
to argue the cause before the Inter

stated to the officials of the Leagu
that unless prevented by official Ell

Phosphate Lands Withdrawn.

The western phosphate lands re-
Gently withdrawn from entery by the
secretary of the interior in accordance
with the presidents order comprise
portions of Morgan, Rich and Cache
counties in Utah; portions of Bear
Lake, Bannock. Bingham and Fre-
mont counties in Idaho, and nearly all
of Uinta county in Wyoming-in all
about 7500 square miles of land more
or less underlain by phosphate rock
and constituting the greatest known
phosphate deposit of the world.
Phosphoric acid is an essential
constituent of productive soil. Work
at agricultural experiment stations in
Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois has
shown that in 81 years the cultivated
soils of those states have been de-
pleted of phosphoric acid. or at an
annual rate of about 20 pounds per
acre. Even if the loss has been fully
one third this amount it would require
8, 900, 900 tons of phosphate rock an
nually to offset this depletion in the
400, 100000 acres of cultivated lands
in the United States without allow
ance for increase in the area culti-
waited or in the agricultural yield.
There were 2, 265. 900 tons of phos-
phate rock produced in the United
States in 1907 and of this amount
900, 900 tons or about 40 per cent, was
exported. The phosphate rock Of
South Carolina is nearly exhausted,
the Florida deposits have reached theil
maximum production, and although
the output of the Tennessee deposits
, is growing, these deposits, if the in
crease in the rate of the production
shown during the last decade contin
ues, it will last only about IL years
There is some phosphate in Arkans
, as, but it is of low grade. At tn
, present rate of mining the know
, available supply of high grade phos
!, phate rock in the United States will
last only 81 years, and if the increas

The Information Wanted.

There were three ministers in the
little village and they all considered
it one of the parish duties to see that
the young lady teacher should be es-
corted to all the sociables, Ladies'
Aids, etc. They even took them
selves to task for never having visit
ed the school during the reign of the
village spinster Miss Slimpkins, to
try and drop few good seeds into
the fertile soil of the young minds in
her charge. But this wocful neglect
was all remedied after the advent of
Miss Pretty, and the schoohouse was
now always included in the paroch-
iai visits. Upon one such memorable
afternoon the teacher called the class
in the third reader to the front to
read the selection upon charity taken
from the revised version of the New
Testament. All went we'll until they
came to the passage, Though know
all mysteries and have no love, il
proftith me nothing when. to the
horror of the teacher, girl with q
stolid countenance arose and drawleo
out: Though know all ministers
and have not love. it profitith me
nothing"
In the shout and confusion which
followed, the minister beat hasty
retreat. From . Parsons Note

the situation of this western field is
