Much Damage Done
by Fire in Idaho
Falls Last Monday

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho.-A fire
which started in the basement Of the
Red Cross drug store at 1915 Mon
day morning partly destroyed the
store and contents and totally de-
stroyed the store and contents OF the
Scott book store adjoining. Dam
age was also done to the Idaho Falls
electric store, which adjoins the book
store.
1 1t is thought that the fire origin
ated from spontaneous combustion
in the drug store. It spread rapidly
thru the basement of the book store.
1t is estimated that the loss to build
tngs and merchandise will amount to
about $5O,000. Insurance covering
about rs per cent of the loss was
carried. Mr.. Scott stated that as
soon as the loss was adjusted re-
establishment Of his business would
begin at once. q

Will Promote Plan
to Avert Shortage
of Cars For Idaho

POCATELLO, Idaho.-From the
headquarters of the Idaho Reclama-
tion association it is announced that
an effort will be made to interest
southern Idaho citizens in establish
ing in this territory railroad ter
minal facilities for storing sufficient
cars to prevent shortages.
Officials Of the assbciation say this
is part Of the organization program
to assist the producers Of the state.
Investigation by the association last
year showed that many cars were
held in the east to meet emergencies,
thereby depriving western shippers.
It Is possible, the reclamation as
sociatiOn says, to hold cars on paN
ment Of 80 cents day per car, which
eastern shippers have found to be
cheaper than to build cars for tenn
porary use.
The association says that had such
terminal plan been observed last
year, southern Idaho would have
been able to move its entire wheat
crop before the slump I'M prices.

POTATO SHIPMENT
RECORD SMASHED
Two Hundred and Six
Cars Pass Thru sPo-
cateno Saturday

All potato shipment records of the
present season were smashed by Sat-
urday's yard Office report.
Two hundred and six cars Of Gem
State tubers passed thru the Poca-
tell0 Short Line yarda during the
past twenty-four hours. Until Sat-
urday's report was received the
standing shipment record for one
day was IT'S cars. The Caldwell.
Wilder and NAnnpa section supplied
the greater part OF the record ship
ment alth0 q large number Of cara
were loaded at Buhl, Filler and other
points on the Twin Falls branch.
The sudden jump in shipments Is
attributed to the report that potato
prices were reported to have been
somewhat stronger in the western
Idaho owns.
The 1rst shipment Of fall grain
passed thru the Pocatello yards Sat-
urday Twelve cars Of wheat from
Buhl, Filler, Wendell and Jerome,
constituted the major part Of the
days shipment. Several cars OF oats
and wheat were also loaded at Sugar
City, st. Anthony and Ririe sections
IN the upper Snake river valley.
Sheep shipments were also un-
usually heavy, the following being
reported: Twenty-seven cars loaded
at Weiser for Omaha; four cars from
King Hill, nine care from Mountain
Home, three cars from Murphy, nine
cars from Junture, all consigned to
Omaha; and ten cars from Riverside
and fourteen cars from Mccall to

Livestock Freight

Mr.. Meiady also warns against j
threatened shortage Of range sheep
and cattle next year unless stock
raisers take precautions for their
own protection as well as the pro-
lection Of the consumer.
Shipments of range sheep and
cattle from the west, while looked
for as probably heavy this fall, may
be disappointment, especially II
the banks In the west can finance the
ranchers, as there Is no question that
the cutting down Of breeding stock
will affect conditions In the beef and
mutton line in another year both on
the cattle ranges and the wool
growing districts. y E
"A year ago breeding ewes were
selling anywhere from SIS to $40 a
head and today they are hard to
move in the west at IS to 81 a head.
The past few years farmers in the
middlewest have practically aban-
doned buying breeders and right at
this time there is little demand for
this class Of stuff. The corn belt
must look to the west for feeding
stock, and If the young stun is mar
keted, the feeders will be scarce in
another year.
There never was greater abun-
dance of feed, and the feeding de-
mand will be very heavy for cattle,
sheep and lambs, as this Is the only
way the farmer can get any returns
from his ps."-Omaha Bee.
