No Discrimination


 Washington, July 7.--In the so-called commerce commission today held that the existing rates on pig iron from the Bir- mingham district to Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago and Boston by rail and water were unreasonable.
 No change was ordered on proportional rates to Ohio river crossings, but it was ordered that they be revised so as not to throw all the reductions on the south ern lines.
 f Existing rail and water rates to in terior New England were pronounced un- reasonable and reasonable rates to Port land, Me-, Springfield. Mass, and Lowell, Mass, were prescribed with reductions to interior New England points,
 For several years freight rates on pig iron from the south varied with the mar Ret price of the commodity, but the com mission regarded it as significant that even during periods of extreme pros perity the rate never exceeded s per 100. In readjusting the rates the commission made it clear the natural advantages en- joyed by the operators and furnaces in the south should not bed sturbed by this commission by flying quotations predi- cated on the cost of production.
 Analysis of the rate indicated to the Cc1nm1SSlOn' that Blrmlns nam was paying more for it's haul to Chicago per ton mile than Pittsburg, for instance say thus in- cleasng materially the transportation cost per car
 This situation convinced the commission that the rates not exicted are unrea son able and that reasonable rates from the Birmingham district should not exceed the following per ton; To Louisville g. 2.65; to St Louis, 8. 40; b Chicago, $4; to Boston, rail and water s4.S5.
 Should Be Revised
 The proport onal rates to and from the Ohio river should be revised so as to make the through rate to Chicago for in- stance cited, not in exces sof S4 per gross ton.
 The rates to Indiana and New Eng land points were held to be unrea sona ble, the commission holding that from the New England ports to interior destinations were too high.
 General reductions therefore. were or dered, the through rate from Birmingham to Portland, Me, and Springfield. Mass, being fixed at not to exceed $525 per ton to Lowell, s5. with like reductions in the rates to other interior New England points.
 The carriers were left to adjust the rates in accord1lce with the commission S conclusions.

Net Result of Decision Gives Magic City Better Comparison of Rates
 With Competitors
REFUSE TO PENALIZE
 BIRMINGHAM FOR ITS NATURAL ADVANTAGE
s'The Southern Operator Is Entitled to Every Advantage Growing Out of His Economic Location,'
 Says I. c. C.. in Analyz-
 ing the Decision

Washington, July 7.--(Special. )- Refusing to penalize the Birmingham district because of the natural ad- vantages it enjoys in the production of pig iron, the interstate commerce commission handed down a decision today favorable to the shippers in the Birmingham pig iron rate case.
 The net result of the order issued by the commission is that Birmingham will get better comparison of rates with Pittsburg and other competing districts by S5 cents, gross ton on all rail hauls and 45 cents ton on rail and water hauls. The result, while not meeting all the demands of the shippers, is victory for the Bir- mingham district in long drawn out fight begun before the commission nearly two years ago. Representa- tive Underwood, who has tal,en an active interest in the fight for lower rates, is highly pleased with the com- missions order.
 In addition to giving immediate relief by lowering rates to be effective August 15, the commission predicted its course ,n future rate making by the declaration that Birmingham shall not be discrini- mated against because of it's ability to produce pig iron cheaper than competitive districts. "The southern operator is en- titled to every advantage growing out o2 his economic location. just as the north ern operator is entitled to any benefit that may accrue to him by reason of his proximity to the markets" declares the commission, "and these advantages should not be disturbed by fixing freight rates based upon cost of production"

INDIAN FARMER EXCELLED

John B. DeHart is packing and
shipping apples at his office and
warehouse block west of The Idaho
Lumber coyany's, at the old Bond
office, and he has had much difficult
ty in getting farmers to gather their
summer apples and handle them SO
they will not arrive in damaged
condition The early Junes and
other mellow apples spoil so quickly
that very great care is necessary in
picking and packing them.
Of all the people who brought in
tbs class of fruit, an Indian named
Captain Wiley followed his instruc-
tions and brought them the apples
to town in the most perfect condi-
ticn. He had the red Junes, and
tlcy reached the packing house in
Hereect condition, while some
brought in by white men were 80
per cent damaged Nine boxes sort
ed from the pick of the white mans
crop which were very slightly bruised
were held short time and developed
spots at the bruises so they had to
be dumped

THE TWO GIRLS MET

A generation ago two girls In
Indiana lost their mothers by death
and their fathers came west. One
girl lived in South Bend and the
other in Indianapolis, and their
fathers picked up an acquaintance
after many years in the Lost river
valley, Idaho. During the years that
pave the way to middle age, each
man took trips back to Indiana to
see his daughter, and when the
daughters grew up they became ac-
quainted. Each of the men married
again, and few days ago the two
daughters met at Blackfoot depot;
one going from South Bend to Mac
Kay to see her papa and the folks,
and the other going from Mackay
where she had been visiting the folks
and papa, back to Indianapolis.
They just had about minute to be
surprised, to exchange glad greetings,
to ask each other about dad and
the folks and catch their trains.

SNAKE RIVER CLAIMS ANOTHER BRAVE SOUL

foot, Christmas day, 1906, and missed
his train at Pocatello. He then start
ed to walk to Blackfoot in time for
dinner and became lost on the great
plain with it's divergent roads and
trails. OF course it was not known
what became of him, but the family
began a search the hour the train
passed, and within few days hund-
reds of people from Pocatello, Black
foot and Ft. Hall were searching.
After most of them had become dis
couraged and had abandoned the
search, the body was found in cor
raj near the Ferry Butte about
twelve miles southwest of Blackfoot,
on January Sth, 1911, where he had
sunk donw exhausted
The Case of o. A. Kennedy
On Monday the 9th of June, 1910,
o. A. Kennedy, cousin of our county
commissioner, disappeared. 1t was
known that he had been respondent
for some time, and it was feared that
he had drowned himself in the Idaho
canal which ran near his home. The
water was shut off, the canal ex-
amined, parties secured the country
but the search was finally Abandoned.
The body was found in the canal the
middle of September following, partly
hidden by a bunch of brush. Many
searchers had passed within few
feet of it, and when it was finally
found it was by reason of the odor
arising from it.

Body of Mrs. Garfield Bond Found
ON Shore of Snake Riyer-Funerat
Sunday.

The body of Mrs. Garfield Bond
was found Friday morning, six
miles below Blackfoot in Snake river
by D. l.. Collins and Carl Bradley.
G. V. Fisher passed the spot
Thursday evening searching for it,
and it is supposed that the body
drifted there during the night or
morning. Mr.. Miller sent message
to town at about 1O:30, and
Peck and others went to the scene
at once.
The body was lying at the edge Of
the water, all out of water but one
arm. The features were bruised and
colored and the hair nearly all pull
ed out by contact with brush and
other obstacles.
Mrs. Bond disappeared from her
home on the morning of Monday,
the 18th of August, and had been
gone eighteen days when found.
The funeral was conducted Sun
day afternoon at $3.50 from the resi-
dence, four blocks east of the court
house. The service was conducted
ed by Rev. R. l.. l.. Barnstable of
the Methodist church and the attend
ance was probably the largest in the
history of the town.
Blackfoot has had a number of sad
deaths of people who vanished uneX-
pectedly and for whom the communi-
ty searched until hope faded.
The Case of Robert Mackle
One of these was the case of
Robert Mackie, who was attending
the fair on September 9th, 1911,
and started home afoot. He evident
ly got headed the wrong way out of
town and instead of going up the
railroad and turning off to the east
ward, he went down the road and
turned oc to the westward, but it
was not until he was found over a
month afteEward that this theory
was established. At first his family
and friends made inquiry and did
sCme hunting. Then searching
pert les secured the country far and
near, and finally gave it up. The
remains we're found by an Indian
who watched the course of the mag
pies and coyotes until he got the
location of something which was at
tracing them.
