PROBERS WANT TO
KNOW ABOUT MAIN
STREET CONTRACT
Inquire About Too Many Bills for
Mileage and. Also Regard
ing Per Diem Paid.
BRIDGE is NOW UNDER PROBE

All three members of the Mesa
county board of county commission
ers We're summoned before the grand
jury this afternoon and spent over
an hour undergoing a fire of ques-
tions regarding various transactions
by the present and former board OF
commissioners.
Even though Herman w. Kluge,
the newly appointed commissioner
had served only since January 3, and
alter the time of the matters under
investigation he was summoned to
appear along with Chairman Ben J.
Snyder and Commissioner VIM.
Briggs.
Everything in connection with the
probe this afternoon is kept as a dark
secret, although it leaked out that
the grand jurymen were inquiring
particularly regarding the transac-
tions in connection with the Main
street bridge. The commissioners
were also questioned in regard to per
diem paid themselves, and as to mile
age charges.
1t was hinted today that some of
the members of the grand jury who
voted indictments against members
of the old board, were inclined to
think that in some matters they were
rather hasty, and consequently that
the commissioners should be given a
chance to be heard in their own de-
fense.
1t is also said that practically all
of alleged Irregularities were COM
mitted before any of the members OF
the present board were in office, and
that the jurymen were very anxious
IN get the records in connection with
the Main street bridge contract.
The commissioners received sum-
mons to appear before the grand jury
at O'Clock this afternoon and at
once complied.

heavy flow of oil, which, II is

GROWERS

STATES COURTS
Highest Tribunal Says They
Might Have Right to Pre-
Ice Their Oranges.
IMPORTANT 70 c2'.sD VALLEY
Press.

Associated Press.
Washington, d. C.. Jan. 26.-The
interstate commerce commissions or
der requiring the transcontinental
railroads to permit the California
orange shippers to pre-ice and pre-
cool fruit going to the eastern cities
and limiting the charge for the use
OF cars during the proceeding stage
to $3.50 was upheld today by the
supreme court.
The problem of transporting citrus
fruit over mountains, plains and de-
sert from California to eastern cities
eliminated about 1909 in fight
over whether the - railroads would
permit shippers to ice the fruit cars
or whether the railroads could in
sist upon performing that service
themselves as an incident TO hauling
the fruit.
The dispute arose largely out of
the endeavor of congress in the Hep
burn rate law to rid the fruit grow
ers of alleged extortion by private
car lines. Before the enactment of
that law, railroads turned the refrig-
Grating service over to private car
lines. 1t was claimed before congress
that those lines preyed upon the per-
ishable traffic of the country and
exacted such rates as they might
deem necessary to pay large divi-
dends.
So congress put into the law a re-
quirement that the railroads them
selves should furnish refrigeration as
an element of transportation. The
Southern Pacific established at San
Bernardino, Calf, $750,000 re-
frigeration plant, and the Santa Fe.
one at Cotton, at cost of $500,000.
A whole trainload of oranges could
be cooled in each of these plants be-
tween two and four hours. In addi-
ton to the freight rate the railroad
charged $75 for the standard re-
frigeration of car to New York.
Shippers having cold storage
plants discovered that by cooling the
oranges before they were placed in
car less space was necessary between
the crates, and thus the cost of the
transportation was reduced. They
cooled the fruit in their own plants
and then forced ice-cold air into the
car. They put also 1900 pounds
of ice into the bunkers of each car.
The railroads insisted upon charging
the shippers $50 for that privilege.
The interstate commerce commits
sion ordered a reduction from $50
to $3.50, about the amount necessary
to cover the wear and tear of placing
the ice in the bunkers. The rail-
roads then withdrew the privilege of
pre-icipg on the ground that pre-ic-
ing and preceding OF fruit was an
act of transportation and one the law
required them to perform.
The commission, however, held
was matter of preparation and not
transportation, and required the rail-
roads to permit the shippers to per-
form that service, If they SO elected.
The commerce court decided it
against the railroads and the rail-
roads appealed to the supreme court
of the United States.
