SALT LAKE FREIGHT
LOWER THAN DENVER
Oregon Short Line Agent Says Impli-
cation to the Contrary is Incorrect.

with reference to a recent inter
view published in THE TIMES in
which a gentleman engaged in bust
ness in this city is quoted as saying
that freight rates on certain articles
from Salt Lake City to this city are
higher than rates on the same sort of
articles from Denver, l wish to say
that this is mistake" said d. r. Sui
livan, agent for the Oregon Short
Line in Twin Falls.
Although the rates are absolutely
higher on anything, they might be
relatively higher on articles made in
Denver, shipped to Salt Lake City and
redistributed from there than if ship
ped direct from Denver, because il
shipped from Denver direct" continu-
ed Mr. Sullivan, they would have bur
one minimum, while if shipped to
Salt Lake City, and later shipped from
there to Twin Falls, unless coming
under the storage, clearing and tran
sit rates, they would have a double
minimum. For instance, a certain ar
ticle if made in Denver, and not coin
ing under the exception mentioned
might be charged $1.90 for transit
from Denver to Twin Falls direct
while if sold to a Salt Lake City dis
tributor and resold and reshipped by
him, the freight rate for the two ship
ments might be $3.50, and in sucf
case, the Salt Lake wholesaler havins
added his profit, the cost of the ar
ticle might be materially cheaper il
shipped direct from Denver to thi.
city than if redistributed from
Salt Lake City. But the freight ratC
on an article shipped direct from Den
yer would be greater than on ont
shipped direct from Twin Falls, 81
that the implication in the interview
was incorrect"
Explaining the storage, cleaning
and manufacture rate, Mr.. Sullivan
cited the case of wheat raised at Buh
and shipped here to be made int
flour by the Twin Falls Milling
Elevator company. He said that til
company would in the first instanc
pay the freight on wheat from Bui
to Twin Falls. After it was made in
to flour and reshipped to the east O
south, the company would get tn
first freight rebated and would b
charged a flour rate from Bull to tn

BRADY WANTS REMOUNT
STATION AT BOISE.

WASHINGTON-S Senator Brady is
bringing pressure to bear on the war
department to favor the establishment
Of an army remount station at Boise
barracks. Last fall Colonel McDon-
aid. inspector of military barracks,
visited Boise, inspected the post and
sent in a report recommending it to
be converted into a remount station.

down the recommendation, contending
the three existing remOunt stations
are ample, and no estimate for the
Boise station has been submitted to
congress. Senator Brady is now try
ing to influence the secretary of war
to recommend the conversion of the
Boise barracks into remount sta
ton and if he can get favorable re-
port from the secretary, he will Offer
an amendment to the army bill max
ing the necessary appropriation.

EYCLAND RAISES RAGS EMBARGO,

NEW YORK-The recent action OF
the British authorities in lifting the
embargo on rags has greatly relieved
the situation for the various felt mills
in this country. When Great Britain
clamped on the lid shortly after the
beginning of the war, intense alarm
was felt throughout this country By
tht felt mills who had depended for
years on foreign rags from which felt
for roofing and other products Is
made. The domestic rag business al
that time was not very well organized,
but as the war went on and practically
no foreign rags we're to be had, the
collection and distribution Of this I'M
portant raw material was better sys-
tematized.
There are about thirty large felt
mills in this country that use thous-
ands Of tons of RACES annually in max
ing felt for roofing purposes, all oil
whom will be directly benefited by

A LESSON FOR ALI.

With the coming of Fire Prevention day, which has been fixed for October 9 in this state, it is important that full consideration should be given to this important matter. It means simply the exercise of good judgment that the value of prevention should be fully set forth on that day in every conceivable way that those who are in most need of understanding it's worth and of securing it's benefits should be convinced of it's merits.
 Prevention can do wonders if 1t is undertaken at the right time and that must of necessity be before a fire breaks out. This was plainly disclosed to the people of Phoenix, N. Y, where million dollar fire recently wiped out the manufacturing plants and put the village in likeness with uncertain pros- poets as to a resumption of industrial activity on its former scale at that place. That conflagration started from an overheated generator journal but 1t is apparent that little or noth- ing in the way of fire prevention or even protection in case of fire had been provided, both from the manner in which the fire was fought and from the fact that the plants were not fully covered by insurance.
 It ought not to be necessary for every village of like size or import ance to experience such loss before full recognition is given to fire pre- vention. Delays are dangerous in many undertakings but in none more so than where fire prevention is con- scerned. Every community and indi- vidual can take home the lesson of the PhoeHix fire.

POLITICAL
Arbitration in Enuiard.

The settlement of the threatened railroad strike in Great Britain seems to have been a comparatively easy task. The government insisted that a board of arbitrators should investi- gate the trouble and public sentiment forced the employees to agree to such course. The arbitrators found that the mems demands were excessive, considering the conditions of railway traffic, and finally reported in favor of a war bonus" of five shillings. Al though the threat of a strike had been based upon a demand for ten shill- ings, the men have agreed to accept the award, and all talk of a strike has been dropped. Exactly the same demand, or President Wilson's part, for ali arbitration of the demands of the four Brotherhoods, a few weeks ago, would have been backed by pulp lie opinion in just the same fashion, and it js certain that the Brother hoods would not have dared to with stand the outspoken sentiment of-the whole nation. The outcome in Eng land has pretty plainly shown that President Wilson lost a striking chance to establish peaceful arbitra- tion in this country as the one recog- nized remedy for the certain injury to tho public that always follows ob- stinate wars between labor and capi- tal.-BOSton Advertiser.

IF NOT VILLA, SOMEONE JUST AS
 BAD

Although Secretary Baker expresses his doubt as to the truth of the re- port which comes from General Bell to the effect that Villa was concerned in the raid upon Chihuahuas the fact stands out nevertheless, if, the reports are true, that a substantial force of insurgents of the Villa type at least raised havoc in that city and were not driven out until they had completed their work and were prepared to go
 Let it be conceded for instance that Secretary Baker who is many hun dreds of miles away from the locality where the fight took place is right and that Villa is dead. That does not mean that the depredations which have made him famous have been brought to an end. If he isn't leading that in surgent band someone else is who is doing just as frightfuI work as Villa could direct. It means that that char acter of lawlessness which has been linked with Villa is being maintained and that the Carranza government is not successful in putting an end to it regarding it's own cities to say noth- ing about the border. The weakness of the Carranza control is shown un- mistak2bly, and when he is not main taining a sufficient guard, or display ing a close enough touch with the ac- tivity of the bandits to protect one of his large centers from such a raid as has taken place at Chihuahua it does not show a situation which inspires confidence on the part of this country whether Villa is alive or not. And still, where is the proof that Villa is dead?

the wide range which was afforded its guns had resisted the efforts of the British since the opening of the offen- sive in that section.
 While Combles gives the allies the key to the Bapaums line the advance upon the former town has been greatly aided by the capture of the Thiepval salient. It has been claimed that Hindenburg held onto Combles and even sacrificed a large quantity of stores and many men in order to delay as long as possible the loss of prestige which would accom- pany the retreat especially among the German people. Hindenburg is calling for more money He has announced that he cannot flight without it and from all accounts the new loan which Is being hoatef in that country is not meeting with the same generous re- sponse that featured the previous ones. It can be appreciated therefore that if those who are being relied upon to furnish the coin had been thinking twice before risking their savings be- fore this latest victory of the allies, they will now have more reason for looking upon further contributions as @ waste of money in view of the in effectiveness of their armies. The vic tories of the allies are steadily adding to the uncertainty which is prevailing in the central powers, and the capture of Combles and Thiepval only indi- cates further successes as inevitable.

Vote to Restore New Eneland.

Just after Wilson's election in 1S12,' says A. E. Bowers of Manches- ter, candidate for republican presi- dental eiector, said, "a, congressman from Texas met gentleman from Massachusetts in Washington and said 10 him, We're goin' to stick a knife into New England and turn it around Later he apologized for the bluntress of lis remark but said he and his colleagues from the South felt that way and he couldn't help blurt- ing it out.
 '1The voters of Connecticut should realize that a vote for Wilson is a vote to keep the South in the saIdIe and to make New England trailer instead of a leader-a vote to con, tinue the domination of the conlbina- ton of the Solid South and Tammany Hall.
 Let me outline the situation as see it," said MT. Bowers. "A vote for Hughes is 8 vote to restore to New England her former prestige and leadership.
 "A vote for Wilson is a vote to con- tinue for another four years the pro gram of vacillation and indecision which has been aptly termed, the swaying attitude of our government "A vote for Hughes is a vote for a stable, dignifed, determined stand for the rights of every American citizen at home and abroad.
 "A vote for Wilson is a vote for a tariff for revenue only and for the abolition of all protective tariffs eventually, unless MT. Wilson's kelai- doscopic mind decides that going that far spells political suicide.
 "A vote for Hughes is a vote to insure adequate protection for Ameri- can industries and adequate compen- sation for American employees and employers alike.
 Somebody ought to write a book on The Self Contradictions of Will son.
 "Jeffersonian democracy has been supplanted by Wilsonian democracy.
 "Jeffersonian simplicity has been suppIanted by Wilsonian multiplicity.
 Republican principles and repub- Ican policies put Connecticut on the map and made the United States the magnet of the globe, attracting the bone and sinew and brains of every other country on the face of the earth. The majority of the voters of Con- necticut know this to be true"

GREECE AND THE WAR.

By this time Greece has realized it's mistakes. It can appreciate that it has suffered much through the pro- German attitude of it's king. main tained though he is in his position by tEe nations of the entente. It can re- alize that by the course which has been followed under his direction the opportunity for making excellent terms with the allies has gone by, and as affairs have turned about it fully, un- derstands that it cannot longer sit still and sanction the encroachment Of the Bulgarians and the danger which exists to Macedonia.
 There is 9 strong feeling throughout the country that the present neutral ity of Greece should be abandoned and the inclination to do so is indicated by the reported offer to enter the war if the allies will provide a loan for the equipment and mobilization of thI army. This is little side or what could have been secured in the way of terms some time ago when Veni- zelos was at the helm. He still de- clares his loyalty to the king but he IS determined that Macedonia shall receive the protection that it has not received and he is ready to take up arms against Bulgaria without a dec laration of war by Greece.
 In this cause there is no reason to believe but what he will be able to enlist the support of almost all Greece, and since the entente powers have none too much confidence in certain members of the Greek cabinet it may yet be through his influence that Greece's entry into the war will be hastened and the best possible terms for so doing secured. His influence gains where the kings wanes.
