CarLoadShipnents
of Electric Ranges.
BIG CONSIGNMENT DUE TO AR
RIVE HERE THIS WEEK.
Recent Reductions in the Price Lead
to Heavy Demand for the
Modern Culinary
Methods.

The first car lead shipment Of cleo
trio Ranges thar was ever made in
this country is due to arrive in south
ern Idaho direct from the Simplex
Electric Heating companies factory
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during
the present week.
The wonderful advance that has
been made in Idaho in the general
use of electricity for cooking purpos-
es is nothing short of marvellous. It
is claimed on good authority that
more electric ranges are in use in
this state than in all the New Eng
land states together. This condition
is due both to the low rates being
charged for electricity by the local
companies and to the progressive up
to-date class of people which com
prise the population.
Clean, Safe, and Reliable.
1t is well known fact that electri-
city for cooking purposes cannot be
excelled. Is thoroughly clean, safe
and reliable, and where attractive
rates are obtainable is far more econ
omical than fuel. A large number OF
electric ranges have been in constant
use in Southern Idaho during the
past three or four years, and they
have fully demonstrated their worth.
1t cannot but be a source of pride to
the people living here that they are
so well abreast of the times. 1t is
probably true that Southern Idaho is
being more widely advertised today
and is becoming better known thro-
ughout the country on account of its
cheap electricity than for anything
else.
A local representative of the Pow
er company advises that orders have
already been taken for most of the
ranges in the first shipment, and that
the company expects to sell all of
them soon after the car arrives.

The money was consigned to j. r.

carried out of Columbia on Southern
train No. 13, of the Columbia and
Spartanburg division. This train
leaves Columbia at 1.1O O'Clock and is

.tOTEST ON BANANA TARIFF.
Central American Countries Have
Complained Against Levying Of
This Duty.

Washington, Sept. Sit developed
here today that the Central American
countries have protested to the state
department against the levying of a
tax on bananas as provided in the
Underwood Simmons tariff bill. They
claim that If this provision Of the
bill Is not amended that it will Sc
riously affect the cotton roods trade
with these countries. 1t is claimed
that last year these people purchased
over $12,OOO,O0O worth of cotton
goods of the class which is manu-
factured in the South. This trade has
been built up at considerable cost
by the Southern cotton manufacturers
during the past four years, it is claim
ed. A tax on the banana
growers would have the same effect as
Il tariff by England on raw cotton
would have on the Southern farmers
and would result i'm retaliation against
cotton goods, according to represen-
tatives of the Central American coun-
tries.
Further than to admit that q pro-
test had been made by these countries,
the state department would not talk
of the matter for publication.

number of farmers organizations and
In response | got letter, which | will
read, from the Farmers union.
Just want to show their attitude in
reference to the matter.
The Clarke amendment taxes ali
contracts. Therefore, no matter who
sells a contract, whether basic or spe
cific, IL for ary reason he can not full.
I'LL the contract, no matter how hon
est he may be when he makes 1t, ne
has to pay this tax under the Clarke
amendment. But we farmers-alnd
that Is my occupation-say, il you can,
eliminate the bad contract from the
good, so that If you do not conform
to a specific grade i'm your contract you
shall pay this tax The reason is that
1t Is unfair: II is gambling not to
specify the grade; 1t is a pure case
OF collusion for the purpose Of buying
and selling at your own sweet will
thousands and millions of bales of
cotton that never were i'm existence.
But you do not dare to sell a specific
contract under those circumstances.
because were you to sell it to me at
specific price, say IL cents, and 1t
specified middling according to gov
ernment Standardization, could take
that and sell 1t to a miller, and un-
der the law he could demand fulfill
ment of the contract.
II want to say that the farmers do
not believe any harm can be done to
them IL the contracts are so made as
to specify the grade contracted for
and the grade that is contracted for
Is made according to government
Standardization. The government has
now for the first time in the history
OF cotton growing standardized the
grades. i propose as an amendment
to the amendment proposed by the
senator from Arkansas, (Mr. Clarke)
that the contracts hereafter shall
specify the grade or grades contract
ed for and such grades as are con-
tracted for shall be according to the
government Standardization. And
such contracts as conform to this
shall be exempt from taxation. If
this Is done 1t will guarantee an ap-
proximately honest market. 1t will
give the man who produces cotton a
market In which he can sell his cot
ton at any time II he wishes to do so.
He can name the grade or grades and
deliver these grades without having
TO pay a tax In case he is unable by
any reason to make deliveries. I'm
der the present system it is the lat
itnde given. the seller that has
caused all the trouble and dissatisfac-
tion. Under the present form OF COZ.
tract on the exchanges the seller has
the option Of delivering anything on
the contract from the lowest to the
highest grade. The senator from Ar.
kansas has quoted Lewis w. Parker
as saying he would not demand de-
livery on New York contract, but
would run from it. The reason for
this Is, as l have stated before, that
the seller Of that contract In New
York would not no lfkelv IN daliyar
spinnable cotton, but would deliver
some low grade stuff overvalued,
which Mr.. Parker could not take n.
the price rendered and spin or sell
without loss. Under the amendment
proposed particular grades would
be specified and Mr.. Parker or any
other person demanding deliveries
would get what he bought and no
harm would be done"

TONOPAH BOY REGOUPS HIMSELF

nwly escaped serious consequences
vas prelude to the fight at the
Nevada theater last night when Freck
Lydon got the decision over Wildcat
Altman. This caused a delay Of
nearly an hour and the performance
did not close until almost II o'clock
The seats had been erected in the
most fimsy manner, without any
braces and when the enthusiasm Of
the occupants began TO show in the
stamping Of feet the structure swayed
and then fell with a crash Eleven
rows Of seats were wrecked and the
spectators fell in heap that re-
suited 10 nothing more than few
bruises and scratches.
The attendance was all that could
have been desired with so many
