NOT THE RESULT OF
A HOSTILE ATTACK

Washington, Nov. 17.-Official re-
ports from the collector at New Lon
don add nothing to the unofficial re-
ports of the Deutschland's mishap and
contain nothing whatever to substan-
tiate the published report that a hos
tile motor launch attempted to ram the
submarine.
Secretary Daniels called for the navy
report from Rear Admiral Grant, in
charge of the American submarine
tlotilla.
The German embassy regarded the
accident as being especially deplor-
able because the material aboard the
Deutschland is urgently needed in
Germany and some official mail aboard
the vessel Is the accumulation Of three
months.

FARMERS HOLD FOR
A HIGHER PRICE !?
Other Reasons Assigned, but
the Producers Stoutly De-
fend Their Position and
Point to Prospects of the
Future.

Potato may not be king, but n - IN
the royal family Of produce. It may
wear crown Of the price ascendancy
continues to be favorable.
The causes for the prevailing PRICE
S3.76 hundred retail in Boise-ars
given as follows:
Failure of the potato crop In Min
nesota and Wisconsin.
The war, of course.
Producers holding for further
raise.
Car shortage.
Most any one, Il Ii pointed out,
should be enabled to select from that
quartet solution personally satisfac-
tory.
HOLDING FOR FIVE cENTsf
Some Of the commission dealers de-
clare there are plenty of potatoes
around Boise-being held for as high
as cents a pound
Ono Of them has stated that he Of
fered $3.50 hundred for large lot
and tho tender was rejected by tho
merry farmer with a derisive ha-ha.
The answer OF the farmer is that he
is entitled to all he can get.
The railroads charge all the traffic
shouldn't we get all we can?"
SLUMP PRoPHEsIEp.
A slump In the price is forecasted by
commission men. They say the car
/ shortage has been occasioned to
large extent by the use Of refrigerator
cars exclusively for apples. 1t is i'm
possible to ship potatoes this time of
year in ordinary cars. Moreover, as
apples are more perishable, they are
given the preference.
One potato dealer Is said to have
made heavy purchases IN Oregon for
the Idaho or any other desirable mar
ket and only awaits cars to move the
produce.
FUTURE OUTLOOK.
The farmer, declaring he In not at
all greedy but merely exercising sound
business Judgment further Justifies
his present demands on tho ground
that the outlook for the potato grow
er is not 80 rosy as present prices
seem to denote. He feels he must take
the fullest advantage of the prevail
ing situation.
The Idaho potato price has for years
depended mostly on the Texas market.
OF the 5000 cars Of spuds shipped last
year from this state. so to 10 per cent
went to the Lone Star state.
The Idaho rate to Texas Is 50 cents
from southwestern Idaho, 81 from
Twin Falls section and 81 from the
Idaho Falls section.
These rates are IN competition with
a 6s-cent rate from Colorado, the
supply from which state must be NOV
ed and marketed, It is said before
Idaho can get into Texas. Colorado
is now asking for a decrease In its
rate to Texas.
RATE CONTROVERSY.
The Minnesota rate. now u. is not
to the growers there, who
are demanding a decrease to So cents.
A hearing before the Interstate com
merce commission is scheduled for
November 2S. and an effort is now be-
ing made to raise funds for a proper
Idaho representation. the public utili-
ties commission, which has been maxi
ing hard fight for the Idaho growers,
being without money to make person
al Intervention.
1t is feared that II the Minnesota
rate is lowered as requested, the or
dinarily heavy production in Minnesota
and Wisconsin, coupled with the Colo
rado competition for Idaho. will ma
terially decrease the market outlet of
Idaho potato growers.
