But Justice De Souza is now on the coast and he will be unable to get away from there for some time, as it is un- derstood that he is engaged in a great and patriotic work there, supplying the hungry people of southern Cali fornia with sea food and at the same time pulling fish out of the ocean so that they will not be in the way of the Pacific fleet which is expected in those waters soon.

 HAY FREIGHT RATES

To assist the hay growers in their efforts to dispose ot their product, F. A. Jones has written to the San Fran cisco traffic committee in regard to the high rates for the shipment of ll falfa from here to the market points m 'he Missouri; river section in an ef- fort to get a reduction that will enable shipment from this territory at a prof it. The letter follows

 San Francisco, Calif
 Gentlemen:
 On behalf of the producers and shippers of hay in particular and in SSe general interest of the state I desrs to call your attention to the prevailing rates on baled hay in carloads from Arizona shipping points to Missouri river. which are not only prohibitive but are with relation to rates on the same commodity from Utah and Idaho unduly discriminatory
 The farmers, particularly of the Salt River valley, responding to the request of governmental agencies greatly in- creased the production of hay, and the product was during the war largely absorbed by the government, being shipped to training camps in New Mexico, Texas and elsewhere.
 This demand suddenly ceasing with the close of the war left the farmers and dealers with large stocks of all falfa hay and with no market of con- sequence other than the Missouri points. In attempting to establish market relations at the Missouri river consuming points shippers discovered that although the demand was con siderable, it could not be moved at a price that would cover cost of pro- duction, baling and freight charges due to the high rates from Arizona as compared with rates from Utah and Idaho.
 Without wearying you with any elab- crate comparisons 1t will suffice to call your attention to the fact that the rate from Salt Lake City to Kansas City is 56 F cents per hundred pounds while from Phoenix to Kansas City the rate is S51a cents per hundred pounds. The distance is substantially the same. From Boise Idaho, longer haul than from Phoenix the rate to Kansas City is 59h cents. We have not in our files traffic covering hay rom MOntdnd ana ITOin many OI the hay shipping points in Idaho and Utah but we are informed by Idaho rate associations that they have some rates less than the one named from Boise being some less than ten dollars per ton. as stated by our informant. Your committee no doubt has in it's files tariffs covering the entire rate ad iustments on hay from the inter mountain states to all points east. Our shippers claim they can move hay in large quantities to the eastern markets if given rate equal to the rates from intermountain states to the norh.
 Our hay growers have had numerous meetings seeking to solve their diff culties in moving the surplus hay They have asked us to intervene ir their behalf with the railroad admin 1 istration and our investigation of the

RENT 0N COL. HARRIS
 OFFICE ALL PAID UP

Colonel Charles W Harris yesterday answered the letter written day or two ago by Andrew Baumert, secre- tary of the board of directors for state institutions, to J. S. Griffin. the agent for the property where he maintains an office as adjutant general, stating that the state would not pay the rent and that the office of the adjutant general was in the statehouse.
 Colonel Harris, in his answer to MT. Baumert. refers to his-Baumerts- duties, and states that the law pro- hibits the paying of rent on outside of fees for state officials.
 An interesting sidelight on the situ- ation came to light yesterday when it swas learned that Colonel Harris had on June 30, paid the rent himself up to December S1, in the sum of s240 This information came from MT. Grif- fins office.

The same lack OF teachers exists in
the other high schools OF the city, and
the parents state there is nothing in

lievs the situation.
The discussion last night which led
to bringing forth data concerning the
lack Of teachers came about when
criticism was made OF the present
methods Of home study. The children.
Il was stated, are given asslrnments
at school which they are unable 70

suit is an unfair handicap for the

VisOFs can be obtained because OF the

The salary question for teachers
again came % the front at last nirht's
meeting. One reason ascribed for the
shortage OF teachers is the low
salaries paid members OF that pro-
fession. Teachers find they can ob.
tain more lucrative employment else
where, and the teachers ranks are
