fear TO go up against California
in the production Of European
grapes, either in yield or quality,
according TO Major Fred Reed,
ldaho's commissioner to the
Panama exposition, who is con-
fdent that Emmett grapes can
win the prize from California at
the big show. He says II the
1915 crop is equal to the one
produced this year there is no
question but that the honors will
go to the Emmett fruit.
Emmett peaches, it will be re-
membered, won the big prize
over California Mt the National
Irrigation congress six years
ago, 80 we can see no reason
why we shouldn't add grapes to
our laures. We can raise the

WHERE TO FILE CLAIMS

The state railroad and warehouse
commission has asked all railroads
Joining in the refund agreement as
result of the Minnesota rate case
decision to inform it where claims

fares must be presented.
Three roads replied by telegram to-
day as follows: E,Er acs
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul

Make Ready For the Work.
AS the state commission has I'M
dertaken to present claims for pas
senger and freight refunds whenever
requested to do so, plans are being
made in the office to systematic the
work. Although the refunds are not
yet payable, the commission already
is being fairly swamped with claims
and much confusion is being caused
as plans for handling the work have
not been perfected.
The commission requests that
shippers defer presenting their bills
for a few weeks and suggests that
just as prompt action will result il
,, they are presented directly to the
railroads.
