Will Mean That Large Guam
tity of Salt Will be Shipped
From Local Dock.

Donaldson Craig of Detroit, re-
presenting the Delray Salt Com
pany was in the city the first of
the week. He announced that
the Interstate Com merce Com
mission has recently handed
down decision that will mean
that the merchandise dock in this
city will be used for the ship
ment of large quantities of salt.
Two years ago the Delray Salt
Company of Detroit shipped
quite large amount of salt from
here. but owing to the fact that
a number of the Railroads with
drew their through rates to the
southwest making it impossible
to continue the shipments. The
Company made complaint to the
Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. The commission has or
dered that the original rates be
restored, which will mean that
the Delray Salt Company will
make this city their shipping
headquarters. Next spring will
see a general resumption of busi-
ness on the Merchandise dock
here.

hard fought battle. The Ash

termined to win but the local
boys say that they will have
to play some if they do it.
The Ashland team has never
