Oregon Jersey Herd Proves Popu-

Stock at Payette.

Dairy cattle are popular in spite of
the Debated values for livestock, ac-
cording to Amos Miller, local auc-
tioneer, who conducted a sale of pure
bred registered Jerseys at Payette
Wednesday. Sixty-six Jerseys, brought
into the Payette valley from western
Oregon brought an average price of
$2l8. This price is considered re-
markable when it is known that the
average includes the price brought by
nine new born calves, IL yearlings
and IL two-year-old animals. The
cow which topped the sale brought
$605 and the herd bull was sold for
$500. All these animals were brought
into the Payette valley witha view Of
increasing the quality of the dairy
herd in that section.
According to Mr.. Miller, there is

Nanpa Council Is
Opposed to Change
Vote d Ow n Mountain
Time; Keim De-
cides Issue.

Nampa.-Although petitions were
presented the city council Monday
night, asked that Mountain time he
adopted which would mean the set
ting of the clocks ahead one hour
some of the signers kicked out and
talked in favor of the old time. The
result was that when it came to q
vote the council was a tie. Mayor
H. H. Keim then voted to stand by
the railroad time and thereby avoid
any possible confusion or mixup that
might follow the double standard
The business district was nearly unan-
imous in favor of the change. Even
the farmers appeared to want it, bu,
they will have to wait until the city
council is really convinced that ma
jority of Nampa citizens prefer the
double standard to the present sys-
tenn.
There was a big crowd at the city
hall to hear the decision. A ma
jority of those present favored the
adoption of Mountain time and some
were apparently peeved at the result
of the action of the council.

NO RELIEF YET
IN SIGHT FOR
HAYPR0DUCERS
Railroad Thus Far Fails
to Respond to Appeals
for Lower Frei9ht
Rates.

Thus far, no response has been re-
ceived here in answer to the urgent
kilograms which were sent last week
to various officials of the Union Pa
cific railroad asking a temporary flat
freight rate of $40 per ton on baled
alfalfa shipped to middle western
points. Following the lead of Gov
ernor D. w. Davis, the various Boise
valley commercial clubs and other Or
carnations, practically every town
and hay producing center in southern
Idaho has taken up the matter and
sent kilograms urging that the tenn
porary rate be granted.
Various opinions are held here rela-
tive to the effect of the rate in the
event it is granted which now appears
rather unlikely. Quotations in the
middle western markets have recently
been given an impetu that would per-
NIT placing Idaho hay on those mar.
kets at more favorable price than
can be obtained here, however, and
lowered freight rate is expected to
bolster the local price if it has not
other effect. Not much of Idaho's
hay would take high grading in these
markets because of lack of color, il
is said and probably $40 rate would
provide a market only for the better
quality Idaho alfalfa.
100000 Tons to Move.
Estimates place the amount of hay
available in Idaho for shipment At
about 100000 tons. This does not
include the hay that will be fed here.
Figures are not available on the
amount in the Boise valley which
could be shipped out but it is certain
to be far in excess of that held in any
former year. Bumper crops in the
Gem district have contributed materi-
ally to this surplus.
Indirectly, it was learned through
the local freight office that the rail-
road company believes that a lowered
freight rate on Idaho hay would serve
only to glut the middle western mar
kets. thereby breaking the price and
without materially affecting the situ-
alton. 1t is predicted that it will be
this argument which will be presented
in denying the application for lowered
freight rates.
Wilder ON the Job.
One of the strongest arguments
thus far presented for a lowered
freight rate on Idaho hay was filed
early in the week by the Wilder
Equity association in the form of a
petition with the public utilities COM
mission. The association points Out
that many of its customers are hay
growers; that alfalfa is variety OF
hay which does not keep we'll when
held over to another season; that the
crop of the present season is much
in excess of home demand; that the
price on the local market has been as
low as S. per ton; that it costs the
farmer on an average of $ll per tor
to raise alfalfa; that the eastern mar
ket is good but the growers cannot
make any profit due to the high rat'
and finally that the Oregon Shor
Line could relieve the situation b,
granting an emergency rate on ha,
shipments.
