RURAL EXPRESS
VALUABLE TO FARMERS

Holding that it is an agency whose
value extends to both producer and
consumer, the transportation commit
tee Of the National Association Of
State Marketing officials, at meet
ing recently held in New York city,
placed an emphatic endorsement on
rural motor express by recommending
to the various states that they en-
courage the movement.
points favorable to rural motor OK
press which were emphasized at the
meeting were:
1T divorces the farmers transpor-
tation problem from that of produc-
ton.
1T brings a larger, fresher and Oft
times cheaper supply OF farm pro-
ducts to the consumer.
1T is a means Of reducing the cost
OF living, because it eliminates waste
and duplication of work, and 1t
makes profitable the marketing of
small quantities of foodstuffs."

TENTMAKERS ARE BUSY:
AMERICA WILL CAMP OUT
(By United Press

Chicago, Nay /. -Tentmakers
were doing a land-office business here
today as thousands of Americas mil
lions Of homeless families prepared
to camp out this summer.
Short a million homes throughout
the country because Of lack Of trans
portation and Of sufficient building
material, builders, architects, and
government and city officials agreed
today that some drastic step to rem
edy the situation is necessary II q
chilly existence is to be avoided by
the country next winter.
A repetition of the housing short
age in the freezing months Of next
winter will mean unrest and perhaps
riots in cities where the situation
becomes extremely serious, it is fear
ed. =
In the interim homeless families
here are preparing to camp out In
vacant lots on the city,s outskirts or
at nearby shady watering places.
Tentmakers say they are being be-
sieged for canvas tents by families
who say they haven't a house and
intend to live out this summer.
So serious is the housing famine
here that many owners OF homes are
contemplating putting up q canvas
covering on the roof and living there,
renting out the present rooms to
less fortunate families.
Some home owners have rented
out their roofs for the summer at
prices ranging from SIS to $50 a
month.
Charles Bostrom, building commits
sioner here, estimates that 10000
families are homeless in Chicago.
"These people are living In one
room apartments, on fire escapes and
on ROOFS" he said.
BostrOm advocated legislation
which would lay a heavy tax on
vacant property to stimulate build
ing.
Tentmakers say their business this
year is double of last and that tents
are costing two and three times the
value Of year ago.
Bankers have under consideration
q plan to raise $100,000,000 to build
homes here. It provides. for the form
alton Of corporation which would
sell stock to would-be home owners on
installment payments and the corpor-
alton would build their homes.
Chicago is not the only city in the
west suffering from housing famine.
Milwaukee, Kansas City, st. Louis,
Omaha, Denver, Dies Moines, Indiana
polls, and many other centers. build
ers say, are experiencing Chicago's
difficulties on a smaller scale.

NORTH-SOUTH
RAIL PROJECT
IS DISCUSSED
Representatives of State Pub
lie Utilities Commission
Talk to Local Men
Northern Pacific Officials Who
Visit Grangeville Are Not
Alarmed Over the Situation

Differences of opinion regarding
feasibility of construction of the pro-
posed north and south railroad, be-
tween Grangeville and New Meadows,
have marked recent meetings in
Grangeville.
Representatives of the state public
utilities commission, which is attempt
ing to force construction of the
road, addressed a meeting of Grange
vile business men, last Thursday
night and on Friday evening, a group
of business men met representatives
of the Northern Pacific which is
party to the suit instituted by the
state public utilities commission, be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion, in an effort to compel railroads
to connect the Camas Prairie road
with the Pacific & Idaho Northern
railroad, at New Meadows.
The public utilities commission was
represented here by Raymond L. Civ
ems, attorney for the commission, and
Leonard Way, rate expert for the COM
mission, both of Boise
Mr.. Owens tentatively outlined the
project, and gave data to show the
large reduction in railroad distances
between points in Idaho, which would
be effected by the new road. He
spoke of the opening of the vast
Salmon river country to railroad trans
portation, and of the markets which
would be afforded north idaho products
in southern Idaho and south Idaho
proucts in the north.
Mr.. Way, referring to present high
railroad rates which Camas Prairie
shippers must pay, said the rates
would be reduced, if a through rail-
road were built for they would under no
be more than the rate
from the Pacific coast to Weiser, or
from the east to Lewiston.
The representatives, of the public
utilities commission asked that the
Commercial club designate
some person to gather data on local
which might be of adj
vantage to the commission at the
U. s. interstate commerce commission,
hearing in Boise, in November, when
testimony on the part of the state and
also in behalf of the railroads will
be taken.
In Grangeville, Friday night, were
Executive wee PRESIDENT DOnneley, OF
he Northern Pacific railroad, j. G,
second vice president and
thief of traffic.. of the Northern Pa
life, both of st. Paul, and w j.
Jordan, general agent for the road
It Lewiston.
While the railroad officials did not
at length on the effort of
he state public utilities commission to
'orce construction of the road, they
belief that the project was
lot feasible, and that building of the
abroad up Salmon river lies in the far
Instant future.

HOW THEY ATE DYNAMITE

The complaint alleges that the defen-
dants "carelessly and negligently and
wrongfully left exposed certain dyna-
mite and explosives, all adjacent to
the range where the cattle and stock
of the said plaintiff were than graz
ing and pasturing, in the winter of
1919 and 1920, and on account thereof
the same were eaten by the cattle of
the said plaintiff and which injured
and poisoned the said cattle so that
two animals died, and one became
sick, to the damage of the plaintiff
in the additional sum of $780,"
The first part of the complaint sets
forth that Mr. Frizzell suffered a loss
of $4,000 through damage caused by
highway construction through his land,
in that defendants Hexploded great
charges of explosives which caused
rocks to be hurled through plaintiff 8
dwelling house, wood house, barn and
other buildings, and that tillable land
was covered by rocks from the ex-
plosions and springs, from which
plaintiffs livestock was watered,
were buried beneath rocks blown from
the highway. Pastures, the complaint
AYERS, were rendered worthless, trees,
shrubbery and fences damaged. All
of the alleged damage was caused, it
is set forth in the complaint, between
Aug l, 1919 and April l, 1920.
NO RIGHT
The plaintiff declares he has never
granted right-of-way to either Idaho
county or the Whitebird highway dis
trict.
He further asks $40 damage for al
eyed destruction of a sled, by rocks
hurled from the road, making in all
s2110 alleged damages.
