CARS OFFERED sH R, LINE
Refrigerator Company Offers 100 Cars
at Once and More to Follow.

The American Refrigerator Transit
company, of which B. F, Bush, presi-
dent of the Western Pacific, is presi-
dent, has offered the Idaho public util-
tiles commission and shippers in the
southern part of this state 100 refrig-
orator cars for immediate delivery. 100
additional refrigerator cars within a
few days and from five to rs refrigera-
tor cars daily thereafter until no more
are needed. President John A. Blom-
quist, now at Salt Lake, has put the
proposition of the Oregon Short Line
accepting these cars for delivery into
Idaho territory, UP to the officials o.
that road and 1t Is believed the cars
will be accepted. II this action is
taken the Ogden gateway, heretofore
closed to Idaho shippers so far as re-
frigerator cars from other companies

cerned. will be opened and most im-

ed in the statute, and to deduct as an
exemption the value of such real es-
tate standing upon the records of the
county in which the bank is situated
in the name of the bank, and which is
used by the bank as place of bust
ness, or probably such real estate that
would be purchased by the bank for
that purpose, to be used in the future
where such purchase was made by or
der of the board of directors and it
could be made to appear satisfactorily
to the assessor that it was to be used
for such purpose, such exemption,
however, not to exceed so per cent of
the total capital stock and surplus of
said bank
The difficulty in constituting the pro-
visions of the latter part of said sec
ton 173 is not by reason of the Ian
guage of the section, but is in constru-
ing how or in what manner said bank
or trust company can show to the sat
isfaction of the assessor, or show at
all, how the capital stock is invested
in property which is acquired by fore
closure or liens or in settlement of
debts. While banks, of course, are au-
thorized to realize upon their securi-
ties, and to acquire real estate in this
manner, yet they can only hold it for a
limited time, and the law does not con-
template the investment of the bank
funds or capital stock in real estate
as part of the banking business, but
limits the amount of real estate that
may be purchased by the bank to sc
per cent of its capital stock and sur.
plus, and that purchase would be fol
the use of the banking house. This
would inclose, however, building, ii
which portions of it could be rented a:
course of income for the bank. SCI

closure of mortgage will be almost
conclusive evidence that it was Sc
cured by depositors' money because as
a general rule the deposits of bank
are always very much in excess of the
capital stock of bank, and the de-
posits of bank are used in making
loans, and it would be practically i'm
possible for bank to show how its
capital stock is invested in such real
estate SO acquired, so that there can
arise no conditions upon which the
latter part of section 173 can apply,

ingless when attempted to be applied
to actual conditions. With best re

Judge D. w. Standrod of the public
utilities commission In letter receiv-
ed from Commissioner BlomQuist, who
is now in Salt Lake. 1t is believed
that the Oregon Short Line will accept
the American Refrigerator Transit
company's cars because that road last
week notified the commission that it
would be glad to swing into the Idaho
territory for the use of shippers all
available cars and asked the commits
sion to give 1t information where such
cars could be secured. This was the
principal reason for the departure of
Commissioner Blomquist to Salt Lake.
A conference with the American Re-
frigerator Transit company In that
city resulted in the officials of that
company making the offer of the large
delivery of cars. The offer has been
placed before the Short Line officials,
it is understood, and definite word is
expected from them by the commission
announcing whether or not they would
accept them.
Shortage Still Serious.
The refrigerator car service is just
as serious now as it has been and AN
effort is being made to relieve it. A
consignment Of cars was received at
Payette few days ago, but the ship
pers there were notified that the pub
lie utilities commission had issued All
order that the cars could not be used
there but would have to be taken to
Twin Falls for delivery to shippers
there. When the commission was no.
titled of this fact prompt denial was
made that any such order had been is
sued, for none had. Just how there
happened to be misunderstanding of
this kind is not knowen. However,
the next day the cars were loaded so
that there was no further trouble. Re-
frigerator cars are needed, however,
in many sections of the state. The fact
that shippers have not adequate stor-
age facilities makes the delivery of
cars imperative.
Ogden Gateway Important.
| President Blomquist of the commits
sion intended to go on from Salt Lake
to Winnemucca to meet the Boise rail-
road commission and accompany Pres
ident Bush over the proposed right-of-
way of the Winnemucca Northern, but
may be delayed in Salt Lake and pre-
vented from doing so, owing to the
pending negotiations with the Short
| Line on the American Refrigerator
| Transit company'S offer.
If the Oregon Short Line accepts the
offer the Ogden gateway will be
| thrown open with the result that in
future years there will not be the SER
| ious car shortage in this state that
there has been. This gateway is the
key to the situation. Cars delivered
from there mean that they will go back
when they are loaded via the Oregon
Short Line and may be taken out via
Ogden by the Gould road, the Denver
& Rio Grande.-Capital News.
