The cost to Idaho if this crop shall be largely wasted

transportation companies be Forthcoming if this crop

sary for the towns to practically close up schools and
shops for few days and go into the orchards.
The big problem is transportation If there no
available it would be hopeless case but nforma
ton at hand that other refrigerator lines than the
cic Fruit Express which is owned by the Union Pacific
and allied lines, has monopoly of the refrigerator car
business in this territory, had offered to supply to-
meet the potato emergency and that the tender had
been accepted If potatoes the policy might be ad
