Formerly two men had to fan the
oats. which was very tedious and ex-

60 bushels of oats per hour. We had
plenty Of power and you may imagine
what labor II would have taken to
have turned these oats by shovelinS."
After clearing away the oats, Mr..
Anderson found his bins OF apples
going to waste. One rainy day he
brought the motor to the apple shed
and placed it along side of / cider
press of minimum size. He had the

ator, Captain G., when not directing

1t was hoped by increasing the de-
murrage charges that relief could be
given to the car shortage situation,
which in the past month has become
very serious. The increases. it was
claimed would force the unloading of
cars by shippers who would be active
along that line to save demurrage
charges. Shippers, however. complain
ed that the increased charges If kept
up would break them and they are said
to have made q strong plea for their
suspension.

COMMISSION HAS
SUSPENDED ORDER
Action Permitting the Fill
ing Of Tariffs by Railroads
to Increase Demurrage Is
Suspended.

The interstate commerce commission
filing of tariffs by common carriers to
Increase demurrage charges over the
United States, the order applying to
interstate traffic into Idaho. The pub
lie utilities commission of this state
had been notified OF the suspension of
the order through notice received from
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad. Notification to that effect
came as a distinct surprise. The sus-
pension order Is dated to expire March
81, 1917. No specific reasons are as
signed for its issuance.
Just what effect the suspension will
have. those at the commission head
quarters at the statehouse were IN
willing to say. There is a very serious
car shortage in the state of Idaho and
over the United States at the present
time. There Is a difference OF opinion
as to what effect the interstate COM
merce commssions order will have on
the car shortage situation. Some are
OF the opinion that it will make the
car shortage more serious while others
believe that 1t will not effect 1t either
way, but will be the means of saving
thousands of dollars to many shippers
who have been forced to pay heavy
demurrage charges on cars held at des-
tinations for unloading.
