service. The greatest increase asked
is for potato freight rates, where the
petition pleads for an increase aggre-
eating 10 per cent on carload lots
Other requested increases in the
freight rate are for so per cent on
other classes of freight.
Application for increased rates was
not unexpected. 1t has been known
for some time that, if the line is to
be operated without loss, such in
creases are regarded as essential.
Farmers, to who use the line is chief
ly devoted, have frequently express
ed willingness to pay higher prices
for adequate and continued service
Higher Passenger Rates.
Passenger rates asked for follow:
Ten cents for each adult fare, cancel
reduced rates on laborer and COM
mutation coupon books, and to in
crease school coupon books to two
and one-half cents per mile, or a
minimum charge for school coupon
books of five cents a ride.
Rates asked for on express are, Is
pounds or under rs cents; Is pounds
to Is pounds, 80 cents; Is pounds to
50 pounds, IS cents; so pounds to rs
pounds, 40 cents; rs pounds to 100
pounds, S cents; over 100 pounds, so
cents per hundredweight. All excep-
tons to merchandise rates are asked
to be cancelled.
On cream, rates asked for are: On
five-gallon can, 20 cents; over five
gallons and including ten gallons, 80
cents; i2-gallon cans, IS cents.
Book Value; Real Value.
Book value of the company's prop
erty was 1901 ,503.74 on December 81,
1919, $4,000 of this amount repre-
sents the cost of electrifying the
Wilder branch, now in possession OF
the Oregon Short Line. 48
Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of common, stock has been
authorized, two hundred and seven
thousand dollars of which has been
issued and outstanding. One hundred
thousand dollars in E per cent gold
bonds have been authorized but have
not been sold Notes outstanding

WILDER To GET
DAILY SERVICE
Special Refrigerator
Train Assigned to
Handle Spuds.

Potato growers in the Wilder dis.
trict will be provided with a special
daily refrigerator train, starting from
Nampa in the early morning, distri-
buting cars throughout the day and
then returning the loaded cars to
Nampa before night. Notice of this
arrangement was received at the local
freight office of the O. S. L. Monday
afternoon. 1t is not known definitely
when theespecia1 train service will
begin but it is believed here that j,
will begin about August |.
Following is the text of the order
whch,i it is believed, should do much
to insure Wilder branch potato grow
ers an adequate supply of refrigera,
tor cors to meet the daily. need:
"In' order to handle the potatoes oil
the Wilder branch and in the Caldwell
territory, we will arrange to assign =
crew between Nampa and Wilder tc
handle this business; crew to leave
Nampa at $50 a. m. daily except Sun
day, with iced refrigerators, distribut.
ing same through, to. Wilder and .hav>
all refrigerator spotted for loading
before 8 a. m. Dc. not wish to handle
anything but refrigerators on this frs
trip out in the morning. This crew
to return to Caldwell, do the station
switching and leave Caldwell at 2:2(
p. m. with al branch loads and emp
ties, and returning to leave Wilder a
4 p. M bringing in all cars which ar,
ready to move, handling the potatoes
through Nampa.
wv ewant to get iced empties out il
the morning, have them loaded ant
returned same date"
While it is not specifically so statee
in the order. il is believed that sucl
cars as are assigned to the Caldwell
Traction company for use on thei
Mcneil branch will be given the sam,
service. Thus far potatoes are no
moving with any degree of rapidity
those farmers who harvested thei
crop early having done so at con
siderable sacrifice to yield in order I,
get top prices. Other PRODUCERS hav
shown an inclination. to wait for
full yield, taking chances on the mar
ket. At present, there is little or n,
activity in optato buying circles. -

TIMELY DRIVE :,
WINS CONTEST
FOR CALDWELL
Benedict's Home Run in
10th Inning Cops First
of American Legion
lntercounty Contests.

Benedict is one brave soldier who
really earned the Canyon medal of
honor when he belted the ball over
the fence in the first half of the tenth
inning of wonderful game of base
ball at Boise Sunday and won for the
Canyon county aggregation the first
of third series of intercounty Ameri-
can Legion baseball. Pensen, who
got on through scratch hit, scored
ahead of Benedict. Officially, the
score is 80 but unofficially and just
as accurately Caldwell won, Az.
Pensen pitched nice game for the
locals, justifying the confidence that
had been placed in him. He not only
held Boise to six hits, fairly we'll scat
tered, but sen: no less than II men
back to the bench talking to them
selves. Only in one inning the
eighth, did he wobble and then he
might have got away had he been
able to hold men to first better than
he did. Two stolen bases, sacri-
flee hit and two clean singles re-
suited in Boise's two runs.
( eBautiful inside baseball netted
Caldwell their first run. Nelson
walked, went to third on Rinehart's
single and scored when Youman laid
down perfect bunt for we'll exc
cuted squeeze play. The way PEN
sen was going, that one run looked
like mountain but in the third, Maui
gum, who had singled, worked his
way around to third and scored on
Benedicts hit.
Governor D. w. Davis officially
opened the game by heaving one over
to United States eSnator John Nu-
gent This notable battery drew
rounds of applause for their perform
ance which was quite creditable. The
governors control was fair and Bene-
dict who faced him, might have
started the ball rolling right then
had he been SO minded e !.
Actual paid admissions at the gate
were $50. In addition many tickets
were sold in advance of the contest
and the attendance was probably
more than 1000 persons.

NEW BRIDGE IS
GIVEN IMPETUS
Outline Plan for Erect
ing Structure Near
Caldwell.

Plans for the construction of new
bridge across the Boise river near
the site of the present structure
north of Caldwell were outlined to
few representative Caldwell bust
ness men at special meeting held
at the Commercial club rooms Tues
day evening by c. Ben Ross and C.
Q. Adams, county commissioners.
Tuesday morning the old bridge
was condemned by the county COM
missioners and the travelling public
warned that they cross the bridge at
their own risk. Some effort will be
made by the county road gang in
the near future to repair the struc-
ture that it may beu sed safely until
such time as new bridge can be
constructed. This work, however,
will not be done until the county
road gang and equipment completes
its present work on the Caldwell
Parma north side road.
Propose Special Levy.
According to the proposal SUBJ
mitted by both Ross and Adams for
the approval of local business men
special tax levy will be made this
fall that funds may be forthcoming
to build the piers and supports fol-
the new bridge. 1t is estimated that
about $4,000 will be required fol
this purpose. During the winter
months, it is proposed to use tht
county equipment and men for thu
installation of this substructure.
This method wa S employed i,
building bridge at Parma by tn,
present board of commissioners, tn,
saving over the contract method ag
gregating about $4,000 on the entir,
bridge. 1t is proposed that the in
coming board of county commission
ers, after the work is well under head
way, shall continue in effect the ia,
assessment and shall erect the bridg,
as rapidly as funds become available
The proposition met with instan
approval by those who heard it out
lined and it is believed that the com
missioners will take immediate step
to the end proposed.

Ada and Canyon county Legion
teams line up for the third and final
baseball battle for the championship
well, make it the world.
For the third, and perhaps the de-
Gliding game, of the American Legion
intercounty baseball series, will be
played in Caldwell Friday afternoon
beginning at 4:30.. Following the de-
termination of representatives of the
local Loren M. Trotter post to take
the second game of the series to
Nampa and to play the third game,
if third game is necessary, in Boise
many Caldwell fans have been loud
in their demands for a game here
They felt that after the town has SO
loyalty supported baseball this year
that, whether few business men re-
fuse to close for the event or not,
one game of the series should be
played here.
Since the first game at Boise was
declared no contest because of a
squabble whwich arose in the tenth
inning after Benedict had slammed
out home run, the opportunity was

Town Shuts Up.
Caldwell will be closed tighter
than a drum Friday afternoon.
Practically every business house,
without solicitation, promptly
placed the placards in the win
dows and the move to shut up
the town took on the form of
something approaching an cpl
demic. If there ever was mis-
understanding relative to the pro-
posal to close the town for the
afternoon, it was completely dis
PEELED before the window cards
were sdistributed Thursday. "a
Pensen, the Parma twirler, who
beat Jack Wyman at Boise in thu
opening game of the series, will agar
decorate the mound for the locals
And it is expected that the same Jacl
.Wyman will oppose him. Loca
fans, who did not see him work Wed
nesday, have practically demanded
his return to the arena and he is ex
pected to be no small factor in thu
drawing power of the opposing team'
at the gate.
No effort will be made to dispos'
of tickets in advance of the game, i
is announced from local legion head
quarters. Everybody is going to tn
game. AT least they say they are.
