There was an agreement between the
managers of the two teams that the
game should terminate at a certain
time so the visitors could catch the

the La Junta team hurried to the
station. Then the true colors of the
Lamar crowd was shown for they
crowded on the field and made quite a
demonstration against the umpire, de-
manding that he forfeit the game to
Lamar. But he refused and stuck to
the agreement the managers made and
with the aid of the police escaped with
out injury.

Business Depression Hits
Lumber Industry Hard Blow

''In line with the present slow mar
ket many mills have been obliged to
shut down or curtail the output and
this is true also of all other lumber
manufacturing districts, North, Sorthy
East and on the Coast. There has
been an excessive over production
which will have to be equalized be-
fore the business can get good.
Nevertheless, there are many who
believe better things are in sight and
that the early spring will bring new
inquiry and activity. Small stocks
in manufacturers hands and small
broken stocks in retailers hands will
be the incentive to start things so
soon as money eases up and begins to
flow easily into natural channels.
When the industrial, thickly populat-
ed East begins to wake up from its
legarthy the lumberman may again
put into his vocabulary the word
prosperity" which he has not known
for several years.
''The lumberman is learning his
lesson. production means stag

prices, no profits, insolvency for the
weaker members of the fraternity and
troubles for the stronger.

Public Utilities Commission
Helps The People of Idaho

lowered over the branch lines but the
commission ordered that there be pub
lished through rates from points on
the Hill City branch to points on it's
system Of connecting lines outside of
the state of Idaho.
There are number Of cases pend
ing in which there is involved mat
ters of general interest to the state.
Of these the coal rate case is one.
This is waiting decision by the inter-
state commerce commission at this
time. Testimony was taken in Boise
during the spring and oral argument
made by Captain Davis, assistant at
torney general. on recent trip east.
The public utilities commission s
complaint is that the rates on coal in
to Idaho over the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line railroads are too
high and that reduction should be
ordered.
Important to the northern part of
the state because of the number of its
customers among the mining compan-
les Of the state is the case which is
pending before the utilities commits
sion against the Washington Water
Power Company. The commission
has ordered this company to reduce its
rates from 20 to Is per cent in Troy,
St. Mares, Genesee ard Moscow, ac-
cording to schedule prepared by the
commission, to appear before the COM
mission and show cause why the rates
should not be lowered. This case
came up for hearing Tuesday, Decem.
Der Is.
Another case in which the commits
sion is now interested, but which has
not yet been brought to a conclusion
is the effort to reduce passenger rates
over all branch lines of the Oregon
Short Line throughout the state.
! In addition to all these cases which
have come before the commission, the
fact of}its existence is a great safe
guard to the people of Idaho. In th'
case Of the railroads, for instance
shippers have been urged to take thei
complaints direct to the company
without bothering the commission
Those shippers who have had dealing
with the roads report that they hav
found willingness to accede to thei
requests that was never before evi
dent.
! So it is in many other cases. TIL
big companies, realizing that the i
dividuals now have the backing of tn
state in their just demands, are will
J ing to grant them without formalit
of legal action, rather than be force
into that expense.

One hundred and six informal COM
plants, thirty-six formal complaints,
nineteen formal applications and six
ty-five other applications of different
sorts, total of 226 cases, are shown
by the annual report, now in prepara-
tion, to have been handled by the
public utilities commission up to June
30, 1914, the end of the fiscal year,
say the Boise Statesman.
These cases included many of gen.
eral interest and some which meant
savings of dollars to the communities
concerned. A concrete example Of
this sort of case is the action on the
application of the Pocatello Water Co.
for an increase in rates. Not only
was this increase disallowed but the
commission forced the company sup
plying water to this city to reduce the
rates then in effect. Further than
this, the company was ordered to bet
ter its service by the use of water
from Mink creek, project that cost
the company in the neighborhood of
5000, 900. The application of the
company to install a meter system
was denied until this improvement
was made in the service. The fiat
rate at the time of the application
Of the company to the commission was
$3.50. The commission ordered re-
duction in this rate to one dollar for
each five-room residence and 10 cents
additional for each additional room.
Through the investigation of the
commission into the power rates in
the southeast, the cost of electrical
service to the towns of that section
has been reduced from 25 to 30 pc,
cent. Some of the towns affected
by this reduction are Twin Falls,
Wendell, Bull, Jerome, Gooding,
Shoshone, and Pocatello. The reduc.
tion in the last named town was 81
per cent.
Grain growers and stockmen of the
Camas Prairie section of the state
owe debt to the commission. Thi.
is occasioned by the reductions il
freight rates demanded of the Shor
Line over its Hill City branch aftel

It is estimated that the grain grower
are saved eight cents hundre'
pounds by the new rates put int
effect and the stockmen benefited b,
about $22 on each car of stock ship
ped. What the reductions have bee
during the year may be estimate
from the fact that 389 cars Of shee
alone were sent out over this lin
during the year.

Common Sense And Economy
Will Reduce High Taxation

''It would take mora than an un-
scrambling of eggs decision by the
supreme court Of the United States to
clearify the political situation in Ida
no, said E. A. Burrell of Montpel-
ier, former lieutenant governor of
Idaho. while recently at the Hotel
Utah. ''Idaho voters do not know
where they are and the Office holders
are worse off than the voters. In the
first place the defalcation of State
Treasurer Allen defeated Governor
Haines for reelection and what effect
this did not have on lessening his
vote the cry for lower taxation
did"
Mr.. Burrell has been taking part
in Idaho politics for the past ten
years and offers a solution to the high
tax question with which Idaho has
been confronted for many years and
which has always formed an impor-
tant issue in the political campaigns.

Quoted in state having $50, 200 peo-
ple, continued Mr.. Burrell.
EVERY time the legislature meets
there are those who poster the life
out of the members for the passing of
freak legislation which costs the state
money. Those who desire to be ultra
progressive attempt to initiate New
York, Pennsylvania and big eastern
states in school systems, in institu-
tions and buildings. Idaho, with it's
small amount of taxable property, is
attempting to outdo states which col
lect fifty times the amount of taxes
the Gem state collects. Until there
is disposition on the part of the
people to be satisfied with things
which properly belong to small
state there will not be any lowering
of taxes.

iah Friday night and played their first
game of the season. Although the
local squad was defeated by score
of 10 to Is, they played hard, fast
and clever game. The bail was in
fast play from start to finish, neither
side making many fouls, or passes.
At times the game was very rough,
but fortunately nobody was injured.
Several of the players in both teams
suffered loss of more or less skin from

quoted recently as making the follow

industry:
November and December are
months of seasonal quiet in the lum-
ber industry and the present period is
no exception to the rule. There is of
course, some movement of lumber
products but it is smaller than usual
for the period.
The general prevailing conditions
have affected the industry. The rail
roads are not buying, retail yards are
not buying and building operations are
greatly curtailed in city and country.

A BETTER SUMMER SCHOOL.

One of the defects of our State sys-
TEN of summer schools has been that
teachers have not always been bene-
flied financially by attending. Too Of
ten, their attendance has only enabled
them to renew their certificates with
out obtaining more pay. This summer,
at the six and ten weeks summer
schools which will be held at the State
Normal at Natchitoches, two improve.
ments will be found: First, the course
of every student will be carefully adj
vised by faculty members with view
of strengthening his scholarship where
most needed; secondly, normal credits
will be allowed for all work done in
courses comprised in the Normal cur
riculum, and those credits will count
towards obtaining normal diploma.
Those in attendance will therefore de-
rive a double benefit. The summer
school pamphlets of the Normal School
explain the Importance of this plan.
