OPEN BASKETBALL DRILL
Coach Griffith VIII Have Squad of
Twenty Men From Whom to Select
Varsity Lineup.

The varsity basketball squad will
commence regular training immediate
ly after the holidays. Coach Griffith
has had about half a dozen men work
ing during vacation and expects the
practice bunch to reach more than a
score by the time the regular work
outs begin. He stated this morning
that the Idaho team will be better
this winter than it has been for several
seasons, and that with couple of
weeks before the first game team can
be picked that will be a whirlwind
Loux bids fair to stand high among
the all-northwest favorites this year.
He has been showing up well at cen
ter in practice work and will probably
be the fastest man on the Idaho team.
Both Keane and Soulen look like first
team material again this year. From
present indications at least two po-
sitions will be held by freshmen. The
Wardrobe twins from Genesee promise
to make someone hurry for the team
and Gray, another first-year man from
Genesee, is likely to pull down honors
before the close of the season. Hyde,
another freshman, is also showing up
well.

An examination of the tariff sched-
ules on file is said to show that these
rates are in many instances unreason-
able and that this is particularly true
with reference to the rates that are
charged for the hauling of coal from
points on the main lines of roads to
points on branch lines, in practically
all instances these rates being much
the main hauls. For some short
hauls it is said that the tariffs show
as high as 81 a ton is charged for
hauls from main line points to branch
line points, where the distance be-
tween the two is not over so miles
while coal that is carried through on
the main lines for much farther dis
tance is delivered to its destination at
a much smaller freight rate.
The Wyoming coal mines are but a
comparatively short distance from the
eastern Idaho boundary line so that the
cost of bringing the coal into this state
is comparatively small. 1t is after the
coal enters Idaho that the freight rates
are claimed to soar both along the main
line and on all branch lines.
Long Haul Has Smaller Rate.
Southern, eastern and western Idaho
secure practically all of it's coal sup
ply from the Wyoming and Utah mines.
Coal dealers generally believe and in
fact there are few of them at least in
Boise who are not convinced that the
reight rates are altogether too high. |
the haul is farther from the |
Wyoming mines to Idaho points than |
he haul from the Utah mines, the |
reight rates between the mines and
,oise are less from the Wyoming mines
han they are from the Utah. 1t costs
local dealer $3.50 to ship ton of
oal from the Wyoming mines to Boise
Shere the haul is longer while it costs
3.75 to ship ton of coal from the
Jtah mines to Boise where the haul
) less in distance.
