CARS ARRIVE FOR
DELIVERY WITHIN
STATE Is REPORT
Public Utilities Commission
and Farm Market Bureau
Notified by o. s. L. Distri-
button to Be Equitable.

Favorable reports relative to the de-
livery of refrigerator cars to relieve
the car shortage situation within this
state were received by both the public
utilities commission and state farm
market bureau today. The commits
sion was notified by the Short Line OF
the arrival of 227 cars of which 70
were diverted to the Idaho Montana
division. rs to the Fourth district and
78 to the Twin Falls district. The farm
market bureau was informed from the
same source that 10 out of 20 refris-
orators had been sent to Rupert In
answer to the complaint Of that ter
. crops would be lost by freezing if they
did not arrive.
EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION.
Tho Short Line also notified the
farm market bureau that 1t was en-
deavoring to make IS equitable a dis
tribution of refrigerators to southern
Idaho territory as Is possible and
every effort would be nae to gedt cars
to those shipping points where the
demand Is most urgent.
Iced refrigerators continue to arrive
in the southwestern Idaho territory
ahead of dry cars. The public utilities
commission Is endeavoring to ascertain
by an inspection of the abrogation Of
the rule is in reality in effect. It's
Investigations SO far have disclosed
that many more Of the iced cars have
been received than the dry ones and
that preference has been given to or
ders for the former over the latter. 1t
Is said to be possible this may be due
to the fact the cars were ordered prior
to the decision of the Short Line to
abrogate the preference rule.
GROWERS MAKE EXPLANATION.
The car shortage is still acute and
the demand for rolling stock Is increas-
ing. Every effort apparently is being
made by those in touch with the sit
uation to give relief. The losses to
crops have already been heavy, reports
from many parts of the state show.
In southeastern Idaho there Is gen.
eral resentment over the claim made
that the loss to the potato crop there
is due to the farmers and not the car
rier. This accusation was made in a
Salt Lake paper. The farmers in re-
ply declare that there were unusual
conditions this season, the spring be-
ing later and the frosts and freezes
in the fall earlier than usual. This,
they assert, brought about situation
that forced either the early harvesting
of crops with the result there was
heavy loss in storage through shrink
age or leaving the potatoes to ripen
in the ground. where they were nipped
by frosts.
