Method of Distribution.

TT is recommended that the equip
ment trust certificates be offered for sale
through bankers and other bond dis
tributers of the United States generally
The sale should be underwritten by a
nationwide syndicate, which would have
10 De paid propcr underwriting COM
mission for its undertaking, out OF which
underwriting commission proper selling
commissions would be paid. As, in any
event, 1t would take some little time to
make the necessary arrangements for
the incorporation OF the equipment cor
poration and the creation of the equip
ment trust certificates. and as rates OF
interest at which securities can be sold
are constantly fiuCtuating, this commit
lee does not deem it wise at this time to
make any statement as to the rate OF in
terest which the equipment trust GER
tincates should bear or the price at
which the same could probably be sold.
These factors will be governed by the
conditions at the time of sale as we'll as
upon the amount TO be sold at one time"
The equipment trust certificates are to
be secured in effect by the equipment it.
self and subject TO the agreements of
conditional sale by the fact that the
amount of certificates will bear a pro-
portion to the original cost of the equip
ment ranging down from 63 per cent
during the first year to 4.2O per cent at
the end OF fifteen years. being reduced
4.20 per cent. annually. The certificates
are to be so well secured against the
possibility OF default thereon that in any
one year SO per cent. of the railroad
companies obligations could be default
ed without bringing the receipts, plus
one-fifteenth of the reserve fund. below
the aggregate annual fixed charges The
following official digest of the plan for
national equipment corporation was
given out last night:
THE object of the proposed national
equipment corporation Is to take up
and finance in a single operation all or
a large part OF the cars and locomotives
purchased by the Government during the
period of Federal control and alocated
by it to various railroad companies.
THE total cost OF this equipment is
estimated at approximately $500. 900, 900.

be financed. the bankers committee pro-
poses to sell s2S0,0OO.000 per cent

FIGHTING FIRE UP ON SALMON.

Mccall, June 3O-Mr. ,. A. wiley,
rancher on Sheep creek, on the east
side of the south fork of the Salmon
river, has had to get his neighbors to
help him drive away his cattle, to keep
them from being burned up by the
large forest fire in that vicinity He
has lost his winter range and some OF
his summer range, and faces the pos
sibility of having his buildings burned.
He has been working necessarily, and
has not slept for three nights.
The fire, which has been burning for
about ten days, is believed to have been
started by lightning. The forest SER
vice has had two men there for three
or four days The fire has now reached
corner of the national forest, and a
crew of men has gone to the south
fork of the Salmon river, to ford the
river and fight the fire at that place
A number of reports have been re-
ceived that the fire had croSser the
south fork of the Salmon> river, but II
| is now known that this has not hap
pened. Drifting smoke particularly
from large fire like this, frequently
passes through canyons and come oul
at some point distant from the fire
giving the impression that there is
fire at that place. The forest service
has had reliable reports on the fire
since its inception.

FOR SOLDIER MEMORIAL.
Committee Held Meeting Last Friday
Evening to Discuss Plans

One of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of the soldier memorial committee
since its appointment several weeks
ago was held last Friday evening.
Members fthe committee from out
side points were in attendance and
all suggestions that have been brought
before the body were given thorough
discussion. The plan for memorial
building at the county seat seemed to
meet with general approval, but the
matter of maintenance was the prob
lem that appeared to he most diff
cult Of solution and for the time was
allowed to go over in order that the
members might give the matter fur
Their thought. Several kinds of memoir
ials are in view, any of which would
he suitable.
The Cottonwood people are very en-
thusiastic over the matter of honor
ing their soldier dead and it was
brought out during the meeting that
handsome monument is to be erected
at that lace, with tablet bearing
the names of all young men who en-
tered the service from that section.
The one to be selected for the county
seat will bear the names of every SER
vice man of the entire county.
Full discussion of the matter was
slightly handicapped by the absence
of Harold Harris local member Of the
state memorial commission from whom
information was desired.

SOME UNDERTAKING.
Mountain States Telephone Co. Requir.
ed to Inventory Property to
Raise Rates.

Boise, Ida, July 1.-The most stu
penduOus job ever undertaken by an
organization in Idaho confrontS the
Mountain States Telephone & Tele-
graph company. Within four months
from about the first of August it will
have to make a complete inventory
of all its property, not only in Idaho
but in several other states in which
the institution operates.
This is required as the means of es-
tablishing rates. Both branches of con-
gress unanimously recognized the JUS
tice of the claim Of the company for
increased rates, which, until Post
master General Burleson made his or
der raising them, had remained sta
tionary, Notwithstanding the enormous
increase in the cost Of materials and
in wages developing during the war
and still in force.
The only difference between the SEN
ate and the house was to the duration
of time for continuance of the Burle'
son rates. The senate said three
months and the house six months. The
disagreement was finally settled il
conference on the basis of four months
Now every item Of the company
property-every pole. every insulator
every bit of wire, every phone, all OF
the innumerable pieces of mechanism
in and out of the exchanges, will have
to be inventoried and itemized. Whe1
this work shall be completed the stat
commission of Idaho will use the fact
to establish rates.
When it is considered that the items
run into the millions for the territor,
of the Mountain States Company, anC
that each item must be recorded, thu
scope of the undertaking become
better visualized.

of state market directing the most
radical reformers are crying for relief.
The San Francisco Bulletin in the
name of 3 million consumers asks that
they be relieved of staggering state
marketing burdens.
1t asked the Governor to remove the
state market director who has nothing
to do but organize the producer to rob
the consumers.
All the state market director has
done is to raise prices of food fol
the wage Garner and really destroy
free markets.
That is what the Non-partisan league
stands for-state ownership of markets
in order to enrich the producer as q
class.
The people must not get confused
over reformers and uplifters theories
nor lose their faith in old Father De
mand and Mother Supply.
