Stoekmen in Idaho will save thou
sands OF dollars as the result OF the
conference held this week by the menu
bers OF the public utilities commission
with J. A. Reeves, general freight agent
and other representatives Of the Ore
gon Short Lines railroad at which a re-
vised schedule of rates on livestock to
\ Missouri river points and Chicago was
agreed upon. This is especially true
because Of the fact the stock industry
In Idaho is growing rapidly each year
and 1916 will probably see more head
\ shipped out than ever before in the
history OF the state. The public utili-
1 ties commission requested the confer
ence with the Short Line officials and
they voluntarily agreed to put into
force and effect the new reduced
| freight rate.
AS the result Of this agreement the
reduction is made possible. On cars
where the rate is reduced 2 cents per
hundredweight, there Is total reduce
tion per car Of $3.50 10 the shipper;
where the reduction is three cents the
shipper saves IS per car and where
the reduction of four cents the shipper
saves 1920 per car. The minimum per
car is $4,000 pounds. Such points as
Hin City, Emmett, Jerome Bull and
others ship easily over 1000 cars OF
stock per annum. BY this statement It
can be realized that the shippers will
not only save a large amount of money
but be induced to ship more stock.
