than carload rate of 1871 which Mr..
Hyatt is careful to quote.
Recently l had an inquiry for a car
of honey from this section. l imme-
diately called up the secretary of the
Idaho Oregon Honey Producers asso-
citation In Caldwell and was Informed
by him that every pound of CONNER
cial honey in the territory had been
sold and sold at a price considerably
higher than had ever before been" re-
ceived for the product. 1t seems to me
this Is the best possible answer to Mr..
Hyatts charge of discrimination.
I notice that Mr.. Hyatt very careful
ly refrains from any mention of the
railroad rates on apples and other de-
ciduous fruits through which that
great industry has been developed in
the Boise territory. / note that he also
refrains from mentioning anything
about potato rates from Idaho to east
ern and southwestern markets. These
rates are so low that they have been
attack ed by representatives of other
potato producing territory before the
Interstate commerce commission, the
pelHS lldl IL Iuolio
rates are fair then their rates are too
high.
DISTRIBUTING RATES.
Mr.. Hyatt also failed to mention the
especially favorable distributing rates
out of Boise, rates which were estab-
lished as a result some years ago of
conference between the traffic Off
Gals and representatives of the job
bers. AS a result of that conference
distributing rates were published out
of Boise in exact accordance, or practi-
caly so, with the wishes of the ship
pers.
There is no finer territory under the
blue canopy of heaven than this Sec
ton of the state of Idaho. l believe
that we should all do everything we
can to promote it's interest, but l do
not believe we are going to get any
where by incompetent, irrelevant and
immaterial criticism. l have known
Mr.. Hyatt for a good many years and
have always regarded him, and still
regard him, as a very high class citi-
zen and as an able commercial club
secretary. I must confess, therefore,
that my surprise that he has allowed
himself to be named as the author of
an article so unfair and so uniformed.
am also inclined to believe that
somebody has used Mr.. Hyatts name
without his knowledge.

Owners Hold On To investments
Even Though Dividends Are
Expected To Be Smaller .

Those who have formed an impress.
sion that the prices of sugar stocks
have been steadily sagging of since the
first Of the year and in the expectation
that dividends would be reduced can
correct their ideas by comparing prices
of the present with those of the sheet
which was issued by the stock exchange
on December 81. There are few stocks
that are selling even fractionally low
er now than then and there are some
that are selling even higher
There is no inclination to further dis
count the probability, the certainty Of
smaller earnings and lower dividends.
The answer to what in most places
and at most times would be a peculiar
state Of affairs is that holders of the
local stocks have determined to hold
on to what they have for the earn
ings which they may expect to get lat
err. They know Of no other investment

IA lengthy meeting of the execu.

10 0. m. and recessed, from ! p. m. un-
til about 3, when it was resumed until
late in the evening Secretary Joe b.
Chaffe would not say what was under

with the proposed Louisiana sugar
standards.

Spouse on the part of growers to the
appeal of the Amalgamated Sugar
Company to hasten the signing of beet
contracts has been recorded during
the past week, with the result that
about 1000 Of the II 900 acres which
it is desired to obtain in Weber County
this season have now been signed. The
average for several years past in this
district has beep 10000 acres.
Field Superintendent Joseph Quin-
ney reports that the acreage being OBJ
tanned for the Brigham, Logan, Lew
iston, and Smithfeld factories is now
very satisfactory. The next week is
expected to bring further heavy con
tracing, as the planting season is rap,
idly approaching and the farmers will
be obliged to make their final decisions
as to the crops which they will put in.

MAY MAKE new
LIST OF GAMES
Plan Before High School
Advisers to Shorten
Baseball Series.

Although the faculty athletic ad-
visors of the high schools, at their
joint session yesterday, failed to de-
eide the problem on new eligibility
rules, they talked of new plans for
the baseball series.
The meeting was called to decide
when a player is eligible to take
part in scholastic athletics, but ow-
ing to the fact that not enough
members were present it was de-
cided to postpone a decision of this
kind until the next week. 1t was
decided that the former baseball
schedule would not be acceptable,
and a new one was drawn up.
The plans are that the teams play
at the American
League Park, thus shortening the
games. The schedule will probably
be as follows: April 26-Central-
Business, Eastern-Western. April
30-Business-Tech.. Central-western.
May 3-Eastern-Tech., Business West
ern. May decentralization, West
ern-Tech. June EBusiness-Eastern
CentraI-Tech.
home on May 4 and is here until
nidg ~ lhCICDy CAUSING nearly
months delay in the middle of the
schedule, the remaining games from
May 4 on may be played on the
Georgetown field.
What promises to be one Of the
best games of the year will be play
ed otnight at the "Y" gym between
the "Y" boys and Central High.
The 'Y" team has won eleven games
and lost one. being beaten by Cen
trail earlier in the season.
As the ''Y'' team has lost only
three games on their floor in the
past three seasons the chances arc
good that they will wipe out the
defeat administered by the schoIas-
tic champions.
Another good game will be seen
at the Gonzaga gym between Con-
zaga and Western. This game was
postponed from yesterday.
The postponed Capitalization
game Of the Interscolastic League
VIII be played on next Tuesday at
the Y. NJ. c. A. gym.

FRAZEE CLEARED OF
CONTEMPT OF COURT

New York. Feb. 19-Harry Frazee,
president of the Boston Americans
was cleared of charges alleging con-
tempt of court here today by Justice
Erlanger.
Frazee was summoned to appear at
the instance of David A. Fultz, presi-
dent of the baseball players fraternity,
to show cause why he should not be
charged with contempt Of court for
failure to appear in answer to a sum-
mons executed several weeks ago
when his presence in court was de-
sired to determine the extent of New
York holdings in the Boston club in
connection with a suit for back salary
which was decided in favor of Player
Kurt Hagerman, who was released by
Boston in 1912,
Frazee offered evidence showing
that check for the amount of the
judgment secured by Hagerman had
been forwarded to the players fra
ternity and the case was dismissed.

By virtue OF the win Eastern went

and Western tied for third place.
After the Central-Eastern game of
next Tuesday there may be a three
cornered tied for second place.
Both schools played a great floor
game, passing the ball cleanly.
Eastern was on the defense most
of the time as 1t was not far
enough in front at any time to
take any chances. Eastern re-
sorted to long shots for the basket,
but was not successful in this re-
spect as the ball. hit the board
every time and missed the basket.
At the end of the first half the
score stood, Eastern, z; Technical,

for Eastern to work under. After
the intermission Tech came back
strong and once more forged to
the front by two points, but East
ern put on speed tied the score with
a basket from the floor and Willie
Thomas basket from the foul mark.
Both quints scored the same
number of baskets from the floor,
but Thomas excelled in shooting
baskets from the 15-foot mark, and
these baskets from the foul mark
made the win possible for Eastern.
