company says the new railroad rates
ordered by the Interstate Commerce
commission will advance the inter
ests OF this section In an interview
he says:
The Utah. Idaho, Montana. Neva-
da and Washington jobbers have been
compelled to pay unjust freight rates
ever since the railroads became trans.
continental. For years Pacific coast
jobbing houses had their men In these
intermountain states working the -re-
tail trade, taking orders and shipping
their goods from the Pacific coast.
These goods were originally
bought in the east, shipped through
Ogden TO the coast and then shipped
bnck again and sold In competition
with the local jobber This was
brought about by tho railroads dis
eliminating against these intermoun-
tain states and compelling us to pay
from 20 to 40 per cent more freight
than the Pacific jobber paid on his
goods that were hauled through our
territory. The railroads justified
their actions by saying that they had
to cut the freight rates to the coast
in order TO meet the low rates made
by water competition, either around
the Horn on bulky goods. or across

BRIGHAM fruit
IN ABUNDANCE

Brigham City, July 1-Extensive
preparations are under way by local
and eastern fruit dealers for handling
the peach crop this year. Conditions
never looked better for the fruit than
they do at present. and prices promise
to be little better than the average
season. The fruit Is large for this time
OF year and appears to be absolutely
free from disease. 1t is estimated
that fully one-third OF the peaches
dropped of the trees during the past
few weeks. This. however. is a good
thing. and does away with the labor
of thinning. which surely would have
been necessary owing to the heavy
loaded trees earlier In the season.
II the elements do not interfere, the
famous Elberta will be on the market
as early as August 20 this year. ac-
cording to A. II. Snow, one of the
largest peach growers in this city
Mr.. Snow expects to ship twenty-five
carloads OF peaches off his orchard
south of the city, and has already re-
received his box timber from Oregon.
The shipments for the year will un-
doubtedly reach 500 cars, all OF which
Will be sent to the markets in the
east. as far as Boston
During the week Brigham apricots
have made their appearance on the
market. This fruit Is also In better
condition that in previous years, and
is about three weeks earlier, owing to
the season.
Berries are nearly all gone, but
Strawberries and raspberries remain
One prominent shipper remarked the
other day that last year he could hard
ly get enough ripe raspberries to fill
his orders for the Fourth of July
trade. This year there Will be none
left for the Fourth. The price paid
for raspberries this year has not gone
under 80 cents for case OF twenty
four cups. while last seson the price
went as low as So cents.

sumner, and 1t will make the purchas-
Ing power of a dollar from to 20 per
cent greater 1t will squeeze the wa
ter out of the railroads, and to a GER
tain extent cut out stock jobbing on
Wall street. and in roundabout way
effect the banks that now run up the

While 1t may not help the jobber
by widening out his territory. it will
help him by permitting him to carry
larger stocks. III the rates are cut,
numerous weights on cars will be ma
terially increased, SO that each car
hauled will net the railroad the same
revenue per car as heretofore This
Will prevent the dealer from handling
car lots and still throw the business
to the jobber.
