MISSION PUTS AN END TO
controversies
Idaho Live Stock Men Win Advantage
in Ruling Oh Claims for Live
Stock Killed

The terms Of peace have been fixed
road over controversies regarding this
killing of stock by the latter through
the recent fixing of rates to control
claims of live stock owners consigned
| for shipment. 1t is a ruling by the
interstate commerce commission and
| is of more than passing Importance to
Idaho sheep and cattlemen who have
been in continual controversy with
common carriers on this issue. I'm
der the ruling where live stock is
shipped by railroad or anywhere else
the carrier is liable for the loss of
such stock if such loss is occasioned
through the negligence or careless
ness of the road.
For many years the railroads have
fixed an arbitrary figure of value as
the maximum amount that they would
pay to the shipper in the event of loss
or damage through their negligence.
In case of sheep, the shipper could not
recover more than SO per head, or $50
per head for COW, or $50 per head for
a steer. These values were all right,
and about representative of the value
of live stock Is years ago, but they
have not represented fair basis for
settlement in the last Is years, be-
cause live stock has advanced mater
tally in price. In order to be able to
recover the actual value of the live
stock shipped the shipper placed
value on his stock higher than the
arbitrary figures fixed by the railroad;
then the shipper was forced to pay
an increase in the rate ranging from
10 to rs per cent, which, of course,
was prohibitory.
Victory for the Shipper
The decision is a complete victory
for the live stock shippers, as it holds
that the railroads were not justified
in placing such low rates of value up
on the animals shipped, and neither
were they justified in charging such
an increased rate when the shipper
placed a value on live stock higher
than that proposed by the railroads.
In the decision of the commission it is
held that the railroads should trans
port live stock without any advance in
rates and fix a value for sheep of $5
per head, against So provided for in
the railroad contracts; place value
Of $50 on each COW, as against $50
provided in railroad contracts; place
a value of SIS on each steer las against
$50 originally provided for by the
railroads. Now in the event that the
desires to ship his stock on
a higher basis of valuation than that
here proposed by the commission, the |
railroads will be allowed to advance
their rates 2 per cent for each so per !
cent advance in the declared value of |
he shipment. The effect of this de- |
,ision is that in the future where |
shippers have livestock killed or dam
aged through the negligence of the
.ailroad they will be able to recover
rom the railroad a fair market value
'or the stock instead of having to
ettle upon a basis of about so per
cent, as they have been doing in the
,ast.

LOSS OF LIFE IN THE WAR,

at ten times the British, 100000,

In every lot of hogs on feed two

The real "good fellow" is the
fellow who knew something good

him a chance to make good. He
never forgets to do and say the
