BY BYRON E. HYATT.

(Secretary of the Boise Commercial
Club)
The greatest developer Of any new
country is railroad. The commune
ties through which 1t passes are d.
rectly benefited and new and thriving
communities spring into existence.
Every new country looks upon the rail-
road as one of the most important
agencies for developing country and
increasing the value of farm lands and
farm products. but railroads by dis
elimination in rates can also retard
the development of certain sections.
We are often confronted with the ques-
ton, why don't Boise have wooden
mills. securing plants, more fruit and
vegetable canneries. and various other
kinds of factories 2"
Oregon and the California coas
cities have these industries, and the
principal market for the products of
their factories lies east of Idaho We
VIII take, for instance, wool Boston
rs the recognized wooden market of the
United States. The rate on wool from
Portland to Boston is 81 per cwt The
rate from Boise to Boston is s194.
CANNOT COMPETE.
The local rate from Boise to Port
land is II cents. Boise Is the finan-
cial center of southern Idaho and the
center of the greatest sheep industry
IN the northwest, but the discrimina-
tlon In freight rates makes it impossi-
Die for Boise merchant to compete
with the wool buyer Of the Pacific
coast Portland buyers buy annually
millions of dollars of wool from this
territory and ship it to Portland and
from Portland to Boston.
Just at this time when so much en-
phasis is being placed on increasing
the efficiency of our railroad service
1T does seem that this back haul rep
resents great deal of lost motion.
Wool Is now shipped a thousand miles
farther than is necessary to reach the
Boston market
A similar discrimination is apparent
in reference to canned goods. Until
recently canned goods shipped to New
York from California took a rate of
40 cents per cwt. Canned goods
shipped from Boise to New York took
a rate of more than three times that
amount. 1t is not difficult to see why
Boise valley does not have more can
ming factories in the face of such a
discrimination in rates.

DISCRIMINATING RATES
PREVENT LOCATION OF
INDUSTRIES IN BOISE VALLEY

Portland can ship condensed milk to
New York for ~ cents per cwt. Con.
densed milk shipped from Boise val
ley takes rate Of $1.79 per cwt.
Strained honey is another commodity
on which there is a wide margin OF
difference in freight rates. Honey
shipped from Portland in less than
carload lots to New York takes n rate
of $1.60 per cwt.. and when shipped
from Boise valley. the railroads exact
a rate of 1911 per cwt.
1t seems only fair and in accordance
with every other line of industry that
freight shipped from Idaho to the east
ern markets should not take a higher
rate than when shipped from the Pa
cific coast. In all fairness, Idaho
should have lower rate than the coast
cities into eastern markets. To rem
edy such discrimination, Senator Pom
dexter, of Washington, introduced a
bill in congress making 1t unlawful to
charge more for the shorter than for
the longer haul The people of Idaho
and other intermountafn states should
be very much interested in this legis-
lation at this particular time.

RELIABLE MAXWELL
TRUCK ON BIG TRIP
WITHOUT A M|SHAP
Runs 1900 Miles, From At
lanta to New York, With
Ton of Groceries Wades
Through Sands.

That the motor truck is a reliable
means of transportation in cases of
railroad inefficiency is thoroughly
demonstrated by the feat of the Max
well truck with it's one ton of groceries
arriving at Atlanta from New York
. without a single mishap of any conse :
quence during the 150O-mile run.
1T has been remarkable revelation
of reliability, dependa bility, economy
and sturdiness," declared James A
Hemstreet, technical observer for the
American Automobile association, whi
was a passenger on the truck durins
its run. The Maxwell left New Yor,
with ton of groceries from a New
York wholesale house for delivery I,
the Louisville and Nashville ware
house in Atlanta.
SENT DOWN SOUTH.
So well had the Maxwell stood the
long, hard grind that another load IF
groceries was collected in Atlanta and
the truck sent southwark to Jackson
Vile to show it's ability over the loose
sand roads of Georgia and Florida Ii
is the biggest road proving up test
ever undertaken by a truck.
All army camps located near the
roads Travelled by the truck have been
visited. In order to reach the quarter
masters departments. many times ii
has been necessary for the truck t
cut across lots, bitches, cotton fields
and worm it's way through unbroker
wood paths.
Regardless of the obstacles the
Triple "A" observer states that the
truck has been making as high as Il
miles to the gallon.
From New York to Atlanta the Max
well continued to run without 1t be-
ing necessary to add drop Of water to
the original supply in the radiator. At
no time did the water boil-conclusive
evidence of a perfect engine.
The red clay banks of South Caro-
lima, wet from rain, made the Maxwell
running a slippery event and shot the
gas economy lower than good roads
would have done. The average mile
age per gallon takes into account every
bit of the road.
BAD CAMP ROADS.
At Camp Meade, near Washington,
the driver of the truck was forced to
cut lots, dodge around pine trees, back
up and pull around stumps almost
half day before the quarterma ster's
section was located. The camp is min
miles long and seven miles wide.
Major Charles NJ. Tobin, headquar-
ters, 102d supply train, 9th division,
u. S. A, instructed Sergeant L. f.
Bridgeman, the truckmaster, to go over
the truck thoroughly and examine IT
for wear. Sergeant Bridgeman re :
PORTED that there was no visible wear
OF any parts.
At Camp Green. Charlotte, N. c., the
truck was examined by Major A. b.
KacInpfer. quartermaster corps, who
pronounced it the best one ton truck
he had ever seen.
The tonnage of the truck from At
lanta south will be made up of a half
dozen allotments from the wholesale
houses Of that city. The goods will be
delivered in Jacksonville.
