Mr.. Littooy's trip here and his talk
to the Association it is quite likely
that an organization will be formed
by all those who intend to plant fruit
in the valley.
II. r. Gard is at King Hill finish
ing the survey of the townsite which
ne began last fall. VIM. Spanoen-
berg and Mr.. Nicely accompanied him
as chainmen.
Frank H. King, chief engineer of
the party which has been engaged
the past three weeks in surveying
the reservoirs and canal lines of the
new irrigation project, returned to his
office Tuesday. Mr.. King is one of
the best engineers in the state and his
work here has been carefully done.
1t is hoped that it may be possible to
secure him and his force in the work
of construction which is expected to
begin later.
Chas. English, who has charge of
the block signal system between
Reverse and Glenns Ferry. has been
confined to the house the past few
days but is on the job again.
John Ladd visited Mountain Home
Tuesday
Thomas Davis was down from
Mountain Home Saturday evening to
attend the meeting of the Develop
ment Association.
Milton Helm, the Mountain Home
photographer spent two days here this
week taking views in the valley that
will be of general interest. He Sc
cured panoramic view of the entire
valley showing the river on one side
and Bennett Mountain on the other.
This and number of other views will
be used in the advertising that will
shortly be issued by the Development
Association.

w. j. Turner spent Saturday and
Sunday at the county seat.
Several of the members of TIL en-
gineering corps engaged in the sur
vey of the reservoirs and canals have
expressed the intention Of securing
land in the valley. Several of them
have been engaged in survey work
on various irrigation projects in this
state and for the past four years and
.all agree that Medbury valley is
superior in every respect.
]. F. Litooy, the horticulturist,
spent several days of last week in
company with r. w. Simpkins in
making an inspection of the pro-
posed irrigation system and in ex-
amining soils in various parts of the
valley. Mr.. Littooy has had years
of professional experience in the
various fruit raising sections of Wash
ington, but year ago chose southern
Idaho for his field of action. He is
consulting horticul turist for the Grand
View Horticultural association which
was recently organized for the purpose
of promoting united action in the
planting of commercial orchards in
that valley. In his address before
the meeting of the Medbury Valley
Development Association Saturday
night Mr.. Littooy urged that similar
action be taken here in the planting
of commercial orchards so that only
the best varieties of fruit and those
commanding the highest prices MIGHT
be planted bv all the fruitgrowers
in the valley. A matter Of equal i'm
portance was the planting and care
of the orchard. which should be done
under the direction of az experienced
horticulturist. The life of the or
chard and all the great profits that
may be expected to accrue therefrom
depends upon the proper selection,
planting and training of the young
trees. 1t is far better. as all must
admit, to avoid the mistakes in the
beginning than to attempt to correct

SHORT HAUL WINS.
Sp0kaae's Contention for Lower Rate
Upheld BY Commission.

Washington, March 2-Railroad
rates involved in the famous case of
the city of Spokane against the North
ern Pacific and other railroad were
today held by the inter state COM
MERGE commission to be inherently UNI
reasonable. The decision favors the
contention of Spokane. The case has
been under consideration for about a
year and half. For many months
the commission has been endeavoring
to settle the intricate points involved,
but not until few days ago was an
agreement possible. The unanimous
opinion of the commission was pre-
pared by Commissioner Prouty
1t is pointed out that nearly all COM
modities to the Pacific coast move I'M
der commodity rates, and this was the
principal subject of the complaint on
the part of Spokane. Rates from all
points on the Missouri river to Seattle
are the same, while rates from the
same points to Spokane usually are
considerably higher than to Seattle
and they increase as the points of or
gin lie farther east. AS illustrate
of this condition, the complaint refer
red to 80 articles. The decision holds
that the commission can fix the rates
only on the articles enumerated. The
cut in rates ordered is horizontal and
amounts in some instances to 80 per
cent; in other cases to only or 8
per cent.
Rates Attacked.
No. 1.-THE rates attacked are class
rates from st. Paul and Chicago to
Spokane, and commodity rates upon
"a enumerated articles. Glass rates
are established from ST. Paul to Spo-
kane which are 16 2-3 cents less than
those now in effect and class rates
from Chicago to Spokane are made
higher than those from st. Paul by
certain named arbitraries.
No. 12-In case of all commodities
except five. the present rate from Chi
cagO to Seattle is established as a
reasonable local rate from st. Paul tc
Snokane. Upon five articles somewhat
higher rates are fixed. Rates on these
commodities from Chicago to Spokane
are made 16 2-3 ner cent above those
from st. Paul. Neither class nor COM
modify rates are named from points
east Of Chicago.
The order will be made effective
