FREIGHT RATES FROM
EASTERN POINTS.

The Oregon Short Line has an
nounced a new rate on freight ship
ped from eastern points-Chicago
Mississippi river and Missouri river
to the West. The new schedule went
into effect the 25th. The rate on dry
goods from Chicago was reduced from
$3.50 per cwt. to $2.01. On wrap
ping paper the reduction was 64c. on
the hundred. The foregoing are only
few examples. The move on the
part of the o. S. l.. is quite en-
couraging, as one of the greatest
hindrances to the development of the
country has been excessive charges
for transportation.

HOSHONE POWER LINES
DESTROYED.

At six thirty Wednesday evening
sixty men employed temporarily by
the Beaver River Company in the in
terest of l.. l.. Num-, commenceb
tearing down the wires belonging to
the Kuhn interests at point where
their main transmission line crosses
the Malad river. All the towns sup
piled from the Shoshone and Salmon
Falls power plants were at once
thrown into total darkness.
Twelve poles were cut down and
the line destroyed for considerable
distance The towns of Bliss, King
Ill., Glenns Ferry, Hammett and
Mountain Home were out of light,
power, heat and domestic water for
one day and two nights. The water
tank at Mountain Home was empty
and the town had no fire protection.
The o. S. l.. shops at Glenns Ferry
were also closed. Three thousand
dollars worth Of property was des-
troyed by the employees of the Bea-
yer River Company before the sheriff
arrived on the scene. At midnight
thursday evening the sheriff and his
deputies had three of the officials
and foremen OF the marauding COM
pany lodged In Jail at Hagerman and
mad the situation well in hand. The
ahoshone company had men on the
ground by this time who proceeded
60 rebuild their transmission lines.
These lines have been supplying the
GOWNS west of Gooding for the past
eight months.
Attorney Jess Hawley stated to
sheriff Lugg that his company had
he right to abate a nuisance as the
wires of the Shoshone company were
in the way of the lines his company
proposed to build. Mr.. Zugg who
was in charge of the situation main
lained however that he was looking
after the rights Of the company's
consumers and was there to see that
no opposition was brought to bear
to prevent the renewing Of service to
the consumers as quickly as possible.
1t is maintained that the destroyed
lines will be repaired by Friday morn
ing.
Later
The lines were repaired as planned
and service resumed early Friday
morning.

Hewitt Files Motion.

A motion to set aside the recent
bale of the Great Western Beet
Sugar company to Harry Watkins was
today made to the clerk Of the court
by Attorney Smith Of the Hewitt
legal department. This step is looked
upon as merely obstructionary, that
it spells nothing more than spite
work by beaten foe. The allega-
tion is set up that the rs per cent
of purchase money was never paid,
and that Harry Watkins was not a
hsna-fide bidder. Receiver Cannon
has never SAID the rs per cent Is
not in his hands, and that Harry
Watkins was a bona-fide bidder is
borne out by Mr.. Brady, who is re-
ported to have said Mr.. Watkins Is
the purchaser and that he has loan
ed him the money.
