Traffic Head of Commercial
Club Emphasizes Inequali-
ties in Reply to Short Line
Mans Claims.
Discusses Rate on Wool,
Canned Goods, Etc, and
Points Out Manner in
Which Injustice, as AL
legged, Is Done.
BY GEORGE B. GRAFT.

Pardon the intrusion Mr.. Priest, but
feel constrained to reply to your an
swer to Mr.. Hyatts article appearing
In the Capital News Sunday. Jan. 8.
To begin with, you were right when
you said: ut Is an interesting ar
ticle," one that even you were not pre-
pared to receive. But when you said
you were inclined to believe that
someone used Mr.. Hyatt's name with
out his knowledge" you were wrong.
as we are not in the habit Of camou-
the source of information we
from this club.
Regarding the wool business of Idaho,
you may be assured the statement that
Idaho wool was shipped to Portland,
thence to eastern wool markets, was
not made without first having anthem
tic information, and even though you
are correct when you state that only
10 per cent of our production goes to
Portland, we ask, what economic rea-
son can you present for permitting that
quantity to be transported some 1400
miles further than necessary when
there is such a demand for transporta-
ton facilities?
