Protects Shippers In Rail
road 0vercharge Claims

In order to protect shippers from the
operation of the Statute of Limitations,
G. w. Luce, Freight Traffic Manager of
the Southern Pacific company today in
structed southern Pacific agents to ad-
wise shippers and consignees in their
territories that according to the law
department Of the United States Rail
road Administration, all claims, even
for straight overcharges, arising from
transactions during the period of Fed
eral control of the railroads, must be
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission before March /, 1921.
The necessity for filing of overcharge
claims with the Commission before
March next. lies in the fact that un-
der section 2O6, paragraph (c) of the
Transportation Act of 1920, the 1urs-
diction of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to award reparation as to
shipments moving during Federal con-
troll is specifically limited to one year

Cecil, taxpayer in the district, brings
the suit against C. C. Clark, NJ D. Clark

grounds that they as such directors
failed to properly canvas the ballots
cast in the election for C. A. Minor and
A. Wheelhouse, candidates for direct
ors and who received a large majority
Of the votes cast This suit will settle
the controversy that has arisen over
the action of the directors in main

been no election, as they had not been
properly nominated. and in taking this
view, and retaining Messrs, Clark and

Big County Rock Crusher
Goes to Pieces on Rhea Road

Judge Campbell reports that the big
rock crusher just recently placed at
Jordan Siding to prepare rock for sur
facing the market road from the Siding
to the concrete bridge on Rhea creek,
went to smash on them just as they
were getting under headway and had
crushed sufficient rock to spread a mile
of road. The break to the machine
has put it out Of commission entirely
and it will have to be replaced by an
other before the work can continue. It
was doing very excellent work but ap-
pears to be Of too light construction
for the hard rock of this section. This
break down is a serious disappoint
ment to Judge Campbell as things were
in fine shape to get the piece of road
surfaced on record time Verify the
county has it's troubles, also.

OREGON GRAIN GROWERS
ORGANIZE WATER TIGHT
Specialist Says Marketing Agreement
Gives Movement Stability-Busi-
ness Men Approve.

Oregon Agricultural College, Feb.
21.-The Oregon Cooperative Grain
Growers organizati tion was made state
wide since wheat is produced in nearly
every county, explains DR.. Hector Mac
pherson, head of the bureau of markets
at the state college. Its marketing
agreement and its membership limited
to owners and renters Of land on which
wheat is grown, are pointed out as
strong features.
The marketing agreement has rails
ed the cooperative movement to posi-
ton of stability that commands the re-
spect of the most ard-headed business
men," DR.. Macpherson declares. 1T has
taken the cooperative idea from a posi-
tion in which it was a by-word signi-
flying all that is uncertain and ineffi
cient and has raised it to A status that
makes private handling of farm pro-
duce look like piker and a pigmy In
comparison"
The weakness of former attempts are
said to lie in the credulity and lack of
enterprise of members. A few members
would yield to tempting offers Of pri-
vate enterprises, which were thus able
to take away the association business
until the association went bankrupt.
The market contract is called iron
clad and ties up every member to do his
entire business through the association
for a term of years. The costs of all
legal action to enforce contract must
be borne by the member seeking to
break it.
wheat growers make up the mem
hership, compose the board OF directors,
and control the MANAGEMENT says DR.
Macpherson. This is as it should be
There is no rhyme or reason for admit
ting banks or duck farmers or berry
growers into a wheat growers market
ing association"

Pursuant to the preparation Of about
twenty-five warrants and search war
rants as a result Of a collection of evil
dence in possession Of the office Of the
county and prosecuting attorne.,
Sheriff Burch and seven deputies in
yaded the Monte Carlo Of Fremont
county and restored the original name
Of Shoshoni to that habitation.
All Of the places of public resort
were visited by the sheriff and his dep
uties, all gambling paraphernalia and
devices Of law violators were taken ac-
cording to the command of the search
warrants, which finally revealed half
box-car load Of gambling devices and
furnishings and about eight gallons Of
Intoxicating liquor About twenty-five
persons were arrested, brought to Ian
der and placed in the county Jail
among whom were Clarence Woodard
Fred Candle, Herman Schrader, Frank
Fisher, John Brady, George Heard Carl
E. LaGouk, Joe Weber, Clarence Smith,

Sheriff Burch and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Michels cooperating, declare that
they are going to enforce the laws Of

that vainglorious minority that loudly
emit curbstone philosophy against the
constituted authority. The capacities
Of the penitentiaries and the jails have
somewhat lessened that same minority

broken leg last Thursday afternoon
when his jitney was overturned on the
corner Of Main and May streets, is re-
ported to be getting along well, con-

f. r. Grenba was in the Ford with Mr.,
Mahoney at the time, and he escaped
with some severe bruises which kept
him laid up for day or two. The
break in Mr., Mahoney's leg is between
the knee and hip and it will take some
time for it to properly mend. The boys
consider that after all they got out
lucky, as the car turned completely
over them, and Grenba could not get
out until the machine was lifted off.
Mahoney was able to free himself be-
fore help arrived, though he was the
worst hurt OF the two.
