GAR SHORTAGE IS
HURTING IDAHO
OF GRAIN BEING
HELD UP BECAUSE THERE
ARE NOT CARS ENOUGH

| BOISE.-There is little relief in
sight for the car shortage situation in
Idaho, Max Houser, vice president of
the federal food administration grain
corporation, offered none to John w.
Graham, president of the Idaho public
utilities commission, when they had a
conference last week at Portland.
With Leonard Way, rate expert with
the commission, President Graham
was in Portland to attend the fruit,
express and consignment charge hear
ings:.
Mr.. Houser was evidently sur
prised when l told him that the grain
crop in Idaho this year is double that
of last" said President Graham. "I
Informed him that we must have cars
in this state to save the crop by
moving it because storage facilities
are inadequate. He said that the
government was endeavoring to get
the cars but held out no promise of
immediate relief"
Reports Show Shortage.
The Oregon Short Line railroad re-
ports to the commission that it is be-
hind it's orders for stock cars a grand
total of 748 cars. There are orders
with that road for 95 westbound
grain cars and but eight cars are on
hand. The orders for northbound
grain cars number 35, with 27 cars
on hand to meet the demand
Under date of September 16, j. E.
MacAlphine, agent for the grain cor
poration at Pocatello, informed Mr..
Houser that there were 500 grain
cars tagged at Salt Lake and they
would be moved into Idaho at the
rate of two trains per day and dis
tributed.
The storage for the Idaho grain is
inadequate to handle one third of the
yield.
Embargo on Grain.
There has been an embargo placed
on grain at st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Chicago, due to the fact that elevators
there are full to overflowing If they
could be emptied there is enough
grain in cars in the railroad yards of
these cities to again fill them, the
public utilities commission had been
In spite of this embargo it is un-
derstood the carriers will continue to

UNIVERSITY ENROLMENT
To BREAK ALL RECORDS

''The University of Idaho will have
more men enrolled this year than
ever before in its history" said DR.. E
A. Bryan, state commissioner of edu-
cation, who is here on official busi-
ness connected with the opening of
the school year and the erection of
new buildings to accommodate the
great rush of students and men for
the Students Army Training Corps.
DR.. Bryan estimates that at least
500 young men will enter the Stu
dents Army Training Corps alone,
independent of the 300 enlisted men
who will arrive here on October Is
for period of eight weeks and who
will be enrolled as students being
designated as "Class B" of the Stu
dents Army Training Corps or rs.
A. 7. c." as it is called. The regular
students who will be here until called
for service are designated as "Class
A" men.
"The outlook is very bright said
DR.. Bryan, "and while we cannot pre-
dict what it will reach, the prospects
are that all records for enrolment
will be broken. It certainly will when
the 800 enlisted men of class B arrive
DR.. Bryan, Ramsey Walker, Of
Wallace, vice-president of the board
of education; and DR.. E. H. Lindley,
president of the University of Idaho,
were present at the meeting last night
and today, the other members Of the
board failing to appear. Much rout-
inc work was done and plans laid for
the future.
The board has taken over all of
the fraternity houses for homes for
the students soldiers who will draw
soldiers pay, with sustenance. A. mess
hall, or twin mess halls with kitchen
between, is being erected and .furn-
ished. This will seat 700 men at table
and the kitchen equipment will be suf-
ficient to provide for that number.
For the class B men who come on
October Is, the old O. K. livery barn,
a large brick building, has been Sc
cured and will be converted into bar
racks. The big plant of the Idaho
National Harvester company, owned
largely by Jerome j. Day, has been
secured for workshop and mess hall
and kitchen for these men. There
will be 300 of them and they will have
the use of the machinery of the big
manufacturing plant while some of
the numerous buildings will be con-
verted into kitchen and mess hall for
the 300 men. 1t is believed that by
November l more than 1000 men will
have been enrolled in the University
for regular and special and military
training in addition to an unusually
large number of girls who will enroll.

LABOR PROBLEM IS
GETTING SERIOUS
STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO PRO-
VIDE FARM LABOR TO MAIN
TAIN FOOD PRODUCTION

The question Of providing labor fol

There is a shortage of help every
where and it is being felt by the farm
ers. Food Administrator Hoover
states that there will be a food short
age for 10 years after the war closes
and America must feed the world
which means increased crop Lroduc-
rioL and greater burden on the
farmers of this country. There is no
more important part of the great war
work than that of the farmers who
must produce the food for the world

reau of agriculture.
It is stated that every one must
work to assist in producing more food

Liberty loan drives and the first to
give more than it's quota of volun-
teers, is taking the lead in providing
help for farmers.
The writer spent the past three
weeks in Wallowa county, Oregon,
where there is fairly good grain
crop and the people are all helping
to harvest it. The council of defense
and the mayors of the various towns
of the county called a meeting of the
citizens and business men and asked
for volunteers to go out into the har-
vest fields and work. Lawyers doc
tors, business men, county officers
all agreed to work and signed an
agreement to work from five to 20
days each in the harvest fields. And
they are doing it too. There are no
fdlers in that county now. The men
who refuse to go out in the harvest
field or to some other useful work
are placed in the same class as men
who try to evade the draft or are
slackers in other ways.

WILLIAMSON BUILDING
SOLD FOR $4,000 TODAY

The largest real estate deal made
J in Moscow in a long time, was closed
today when the Mcconnell block, oc-
cupied by Williamson's big depart
men store, was sold by James K Hill

paid the rent to local bank. 1t is
understood the building is heavily
mortgaged to a Colfax and Moscow
bank, the latter holding a $4,000
mortgage against it.
The building is one of the land
marks of Moscow 1t was erected by
Governor W. j. Mcconnell, and was
used by the Mcconnell Mcclure COM
pany as a store building, the upper
floors being used for United States
court and for office buildings. The
post office was in the building for a
time. Mr.. Williamson has occupied
it for a'number of years.
Mr. Williamson denied that he had
sold his stock and assured the reporter
that, as his advertisement stated, the
stock will be "peddled out" to Mos
cow people whose patronage has help
ed make the store one of the greatest
in Idaho, and he said the big sale
which started three weeks ago today
is going forward with entire salts
factory results.
