After a prolonged hearing on the
request of the railroads TO increase
their freight rates. the Interstate
commerce commission on Friday last
denied the plea of the roads for a
horizontal increase OF ! 5 per cent In
freight rates. The commission sees
no condition In the west and south to
justify the proposed increase and
the same 10 suspended until October
2Sth.
The commission finds that the
gloomy forecasts OF jeopardized in
comes seen by railroad officials early
In 1917 have not been borne out by
the figures available for later months
The proceedings were brought in
March. when the returns from Febru-
airy were Just being made. February
was one OF the worst months in rail
road history. The subsequent months
have shown increasing revenues
while expenses have. in many cases
failed to mount to the extent the
carriers officials feared.
The decision points out that the
carriers comparisons have been made
largely with those of 1916 which wa
the banner year in railroad earn
ings. and adds that the 1917 income
might be considerably diminishe'
without necessarily indicatig "A dan
ger point ia earnings.
Commissioner Harlan In "A concur
ring statement declared that shoul'
the next few months show that tn
railroad mems fears were we'll found
ed. the commission would be read
to grant relief. He also made
plea for better equipment and, sci

The Dog.

The dog has long been a mystery
to us. Why does he Of all animals
desert his own kind and attach him
self to man, and this not In any one
country or at any particular period
OF time,
From the earliest prehistoric ages
where traces have been found OF man
there also have been signs that he
has been accompanied by his dog.
and il is The same in all parts of the
globe, from the North to the South
Pole
Creatures so different as the tiny
griffon, which you can hold In the
palm OF your hand. and the huge
board-houud. four feet high. have
this same characteristic. that they
live with man and adopt him as their
master or god. We think there must
be some meaning, unknown to US.
behind this. and we have sometimes
wondered whether II may be that the
soul Of the dog may need communion
with the human soul in order to for
ward its development and work out
its destiny.
But lately We have wondered
whether It may not be the other way
about-whether the dog is not there
in order that men. with their temp
tations to forget all else In their ma
terial lives. may not always have be-
fore them an example or unseltish
devotion, boundless love and un-
swerving faith.-Ernest Bell, In The
Animals Friend.

A Banner Fruit Year.

Idaho promises to have the ban
ner fruit crop in its history this year,
says Guy Graham, who has just made
a careful inventory OF the fruit in
dustry OF the state. He states that
the thinning of fruits In the orchards
of Idaho has now been finished, State
Horticultural Inspector Guy Graham
announces. He says that most of the
thinning was done by Nature, and
while many orchard owners are in
clined to the belief that altogether
too much fruit dropped from the
trees, the horticultural inspector
thinks the extensive thinning will
prove to be a very good thing In the
end.
Favorable reports on conditions
of the orchards are being received
by my department" said Inspector
Graham. THE sunshine Of the past
two weeks mas been a great thing for
the fruit. 1t Is growing rapidly and
coming along in a most satisfactory
manner. The yield is going to be
heavy. There is nothing now that
can do the crop any great damage SO
far as weather Is concerned. OF
course excessively hot weather might
do some harm. but / do not look for
that"
Many orchard owners thinned
their own trees. but others allowed
thinning to take place naturally and
the period for this is now over.
Lewiston and northern Idaho II
going to have a heavy cherry anC
grape crop this year. Other fruiti
in that section also look well. Th'
grapes of the Lewiston country at,
becoming az famous as those OF Cal
ifornia, if not more so. 1t has mad,
a nationwide reputation for delic
ious cherries.
In the " western, southern and soutl
eastern sections the prospects for
bumper fruit crop never looked bet
ter. The crop as IL stands today
worth millions of dollars TO tn
growers. Southwestern Idaho wi
have big prune crop-which Wi
probably make up for the losses @
last year. Apricots and peaches ar
also bearing abundantly. The appl
crop is not quite as heavy as was g
first expected. although there will b
an abundance of 1daho's famous re
apples.

Country to Become Bone Dry.

From present Indications the pas

cepting perhaps that wine and beer
may be exempted from the prohib-

dry clause provides that all grains.
cereals, fruits and other edibles shall
be prohibited In the manufacture of
distilled spirits. There will be some
lively debates In congress over this
measure. but it is hoped to get
final vote on the question some time
during the present week
On July Is. twenty-three states
became bone dry and the Reed law
prohibiting shipment Of liquor into
any territory where the manufacture

are prescribed for the violation OF

New Alfalfa Disease

Harvey Alfred. director OF the
State Farm Markets Bureau. reports
new disease that is injecting some
OF the fields in the southeastern part
OF the state, though We have heard
no complaint from this particular sec
ton of the state. In a bulletin Just
issued from his office. Mr.. Alfred
says: .
"On my recent trip through the
south and southeastern part OF the
alfalfa feds of several sections that
was new TO ME. l noticed that many
spots-some large and others small
ler-in the alfalfa were turning i
yellowish green, with small numer-
Gus spots on the leaves, extending
the length of the stocks.
"On returning to Boise, took the
matter up with the university extern
sion department, and found that their
attention had already been called to
the matter. ard they were earnestly
giving 1t consideration.
state and federal experts have
examined the alfalfa, and so far as
l know. have all pronounced 1t to be
what is known as White Leaf Spot.
trouble quite new in the west, yet
more common east of the Rocky
Mountains. We have failed to hnd
anyone yet who claims to know the
actual cause or a remedy for it. This
disease is quite distinct from tbs
"Downey Mildew,' and should not be
confused with it.
Il have recently received samples
