FEARED TONG WAR
MAY REACH BOISE

Conditions are acute among the
Chinese of Boise and fears are that
the tong war which has been raging
in the coast cities may break out
here at any time. II was learned
here today that one set of China
mon had locked themselves in their
rooms and do not go out for fear OF
trouble, and also that members OF
another set were carrying guns.
Bad feeling exists and according
20 reports given it is feared the
breaking point is not far distant
Agencies close to the Chinese
have been at work among them for
several days attempting to avoid
an outbreak, but even these fear
that the Chinese prefer to settle
their own differences among them
selves.
IL has also been noticed that the
police are keeping a close watch
on Chinatown and also on the tenn
pie and that they have been given
warning TO look out for trouble
among the Chinese as the tong war
might reach this city.

This is the belief of the public utilities
commission which has given the mat
ter close study and is endeavoring to
arouse growers. and shippers to the
seriousness of the situation. The soar
ing prices for spuds today and the
heavy demand for them, will not al
ways prevail In the opinion OF the
commission.
If rate increases applied for go into
effect, the surplus potatoes grown In
Idaho, recognized as the best in the
world, will rot in their bins for the
southern, particularly the Texas mar
ket, will be closed to them.
SIX CASES PENDING.
It is authoratively announced by the
commission there are six tariff cases
pending before the interstate COM
nerce commission which affect every
potato grower in Idaho and upon the
ruling of the interstate commission
depends the future margins for Idaho
growers. These cases are:
First-The Northern Potato
Traffic association versus the
Santa Fe Railroad, commonly
known as the Minnesota rate case.
Second-The application of the
North America Potato association
asking for a sweeping investiga-
ton into the freight rates charg
ed all over the country for pota-
toes.
Third-The four-cent advance in
freight rates on Colorado potatoes
to Texas territory; for the tariff
is temporarily suspended.
Fourth-The Accent advance in
freight rates on Idaho potatoes to
Texas territory. for which the tar
if is temporarily suspended.

MINISTER'S PLAN A
SPRING CAMP AICN
IN BOISE CHURCHES.
Series of Revival Services to
Be Held Under the Aus
pices of the Ministerial
Association.

Services outlined by the Boise Min
isterial association several months ago
were put in definite shape yesterday
at meeting of the association ut
the Y. NJ. c. A. The revival services
this spring will be conducted jointly
by the ministers although many sep
arate services will be held.
The plan is to open services the first
of next week with cottage prayer meet
ings Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights. Thursday and Friday union
services will be held. The first union
service In the downtown church will
be at the Congregational church. A
similar service will be held in one of
the churches in the northwest terri
tory and a service In South Boise.
THE TOPICS OUTLINED.
The topics outlined for the cottage
meetings are as follows: Monday night,
The Oneness of Spirit; Tuesday.
Fellowship in the Early Church;
Wednesday, "Fruitfulness Evidence of
Discipleship." The topic for the union
service will be, Practice Of Prevail
ing Prayer" for Thursday night and
Faith the Gift of God and the Meas
ure of our Blessings"
Beginning March 25, each OF the
churches will open a series of revival
services to run for two weeks. The
ministers of Boise will conduct all the
services and propose to make a strong
campaign.

WOULD SHUT OUT IDAHO.
The Northern Potato Tariff associa-
ton, which controls the potato output
in the north central states, includes
Minnesota, seeks to reduce the rate on
potatoes to Texas points to So cents
per hundred, while the Idaho rate to
Taxes points remains 10 cents per
hundred. This would give the north
central states absolute control of the
Texas markets and block out the Ida
no potatoes. With relation to the other
pending tariffs, the proposed increases
in rates on Idaho potatoes would like
wise be as ruinous. The interstate
commerce commission has suspended
all of these tariffs pending a hearing
and the taking of evidence.
For the purpose of getting the in
terested parties together in opposition
to the increases proposed, a confer
ence has been called for Denver, but
no date has as yet been set for 1t. The
| Importance of this hearing is appre-
ciated by the Idaho commission and
the Union Pacific and oregon Short
Line railroads, which are fighting
shoulder to shoulder with Idaho spud
growers and shippers to uphold the
market for Idaho potatoes.
SITUATION AT A GLANCE.
All states west of the Mississippi
river with the exception of Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma. Arkansas, Louisi-
ana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
raise a surplus of potatoes. In those
states named there is a deficit in
spuds-that is the production is not
sufficient to meet home consumption.
This is likewise true of practically all
states east of the Mississippi river.
Over its home consumption crop
Texas can concume 1924 ,010 bushels
of potatoes shipped into that state.
Idaho has an annual surplus potato
crop over and above it's home con-
sumption of 2,7S9,629 bushels and with
the Texas markets open together with
those Of other states can sell at a good
profit. Minnesota has surplus potato
crop annually Of 1880, 964 bushels and
with a much lower freight rate than
Idaho enjoys can dump this surplus
into the southern markets blocking out
the Idaho spuds. Oregon, Washington
Montana, Utah, Colorado and Nevada
are In the same situation as Idaho and
all are fighting to prevent the propos
ed advances in freight rates.

Undoubtedly it is little too early
to regard the crown prince, whose visit
to Berlin was accounted for by the
christening Of his youngest daughter,
as again attempting to play the role
of overthrower of chancellors. Prince
