Saturday afternoon about fifteen
young people met, under the auspices
fthe K K X. girls, and gave another
miscellaneous shower for Mrs. Lloyd
Hayes, bride of two weeks. The
shower was held at the home Of one
of the members, Miss Bertha Jones.

The color scheme was red and white,
and was carried out with tiny hearts.
The center of the table held a huge
white umbrella, from which were
streaming ribbons of hearts. Under
the umbrella was found the gifts. They
were many, varied, and useful, as well
as beautiful
The refreshments consisted of punch
and waters.

Misses Gaul Burkholder, Lydia Pur-
dom, Bessie and Stella Dolen, Hazel

been the competition of the railroads
with the water carriers operating
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast
around the southern coast of South
America, and more recently, through
the Panama canal. The war has di-
verted the ships into foreign trade,
and we at present, have no ships
engaged in the coast to coast traffic.
The interstate commerce commission
has said that on the return OF water
competition, they would again permit
rates that are less to the Pacific
coast than to the interior Organ
lied effort is now being made 70
stay the hand of the interstate COM
merce commission from again sane
tioning this discrimination.
A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress prohibiting a lower charge for
long haul than for short haul
which is a most important legislative
act for the future development of
Idaho. If this act becomes a law, our
state will then develop upon fair
and equal footing with our neighbors
Oregon and Washington. 1t will
estop the railroads from giving lower
rates to the Pacific coast people than
tothe people of the interior WEST.
These rate determinations are evil
dent on both east and west bound
freight Nearly everything consumed
in this state pays higher rate from
the east than is paid by the people or
the Pacific coast. Many commodities
are assessed higher rates to Chicago
and other eastern points from Idaho
than from Oregon and Washington
Freight rate discrimination has
retarded the growth and development
of Idaho more than any other factor
and the time is now come when hel
voice should be heard in the councils
of the nation.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR PARTY

The Christian Endeavorers of the
Christian Church, held a Valentine
party in the basement of the church.
last Thursday evening. The room was
prettily decorated in red hearts, and
the game were all appropriate to the
season.
Most of the crowd gathered up
stairs for choir practice and then
adjourned to the basement. The first
game consisted in a contest of throw
ing hearts into a pan. This lasted for
several moments, both sides of the
contest having won and lost, several
times. The excitement was at its
height, when a type of amusement
was suddenly changed to one of a
quieter game, although the fun was in
tense.
This contes, contested of trying to
put two immense pictures together,
which, when finished, was to form a
huge heart, with pretty girl smil-
ing at you. At this time each was
given tiny, dainty valentine, and
invited to write a verse on it., which
all did, amid a great deal of laughing
and joking. Then these were all put
into a box, shaken up and passed
huge laugh for all, and valentine to
carry home.
At a late hour the refreshments
were served, and all went home feel
ing that the evening had been well
spent and that the hostess of the
evening had PLANNED it well.

Boise Club Fights
on Discrimination
Wants Long and Short Haul Rules
TO Remain Unchanged After the
War is Over.

Boise, February 19-The commercial
club is making a great fight against
the discriminatory rates before the
war in the interest of the Pacific
coast as against the mountain states.
In a circular issued to the people of
the state, the club says:
A signal victory was gained by the
people of the Intermountain country
in the recent decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission compell-
ing the railroads to euualize the
Pacific coast and interior freight
rates.
Almost from the completion of our
transcontinental railroads, freight
rates to destinations east of Pacific
coast points have been made by add
ing to the rate from the point Of
origin to the coast, the rate from the
coast to the interior destination, in
hibiting what is known as back
hauling of freight In other words it
was cheaper to haul freight from
New York to Portland, Oregon, thence
shipping direct from New York to
said Idaho point
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has said that this practice
must be stopped for the present, due
to the fact that there is no reason
at present that will excuse the rail-
roads from making Sais and nom
discriminatory rates on west-bound
traffic. The excuse in the past has
