Invite Methodists to
Build a Hospital.
Caldwell Formally Ten
ders Proposal to Con-
ference Thursday.

An invitation for the Methodist con-
ference to consider Caldwell as the
most favorable location for a proposed
hospital in this district was formally
extended to visiting ministers and
other Methodist church officials by
R. w. Cakes, ST., at the Kiwanis club
luncheon Thursday With neighbor-
ing towns equipped already with in
situations of this kind, Mr.. Cakes
pointed out that this was the logical
point for the establishment of such a
hospital.
Plans under consideration for at
least two years by this Methodist dis
trict include the construction of a
hospital at some time in the near flu
ture. This matter is to come before
the conference now in progress here
and it is expected that some develop
ment will take place to bring the
proposition to a head. The Metho-
dist church of recent years has devoted
considerable time and energy to the
establishment of hospitals paralleling
its school work. With only private
institutions here, Mr. Cakes pointed
out, Caldwell offers logical field for
the extension of this church activity
in this territory.

Autoists Wade Into
Prices of Gasoline.
Trades Association AYERS
Idaho Quotations are
Indefensible.

BOlSE-That gasoline prices in
this territory, as no doubt elsewhere
are Outrageous and indefensible". and
that the price fixing on gasoline is "a
bitrary and unconscionable," is the
opinion of the Idaho Automo,ive
Trades association as expressed in a
communication from its manager, Guy
Flenner, to an Idaho company engag-
ed in the business of wholesaling gas
oline and oils The letter, which ex-
presses the belief that the wholesale
company sis as helpless as the public,
states in part:
"The gasoline situation in our terri
tory, as no doubt elsewhere, is out
rageous and indefensible as to prices
charged the auto owners We in nc
wise hold your firm responsible for
helpless as the public in the face Of
arbitrary and unconscionable price
fixing. While we may not succeed, we
will put forth our best efforts, in CO.
operation with other agencies, nclud
ing governmental, to secure need
ed relief for car owners"

HOME FROM EAST

Travelling in the east, one hears but
little of the railroad strike, according
to R. w. Cakes, Jr.. who returned
Tuesday evening with Mrs. Cakes att
er a five weeks absence on a buying
trip in New York. Mr.. Cakes is in
clined to the opinion that the back
bone of the strike has been broken
and that transportation will follow its
natural course from now on. Mr.. and
Mrs Oal;es returned to Caldwell via
the Canadian Pacific and then down
the coast, visiting Seattle and Port
land Business in the east has felt
keenly the summers industrial distur-
Dances, according to Mr. Cakes

progressing as rapidly as had been
hoped. A formal opening for the re-
modelled structure is being planned by
c. c. Weeks and E. J. Robb, leasors
Of the building, but completion of i'm

date that no attempt has been made
as yet to set time for the opening.
The third floor, remodeled and re-
furnished, is now being used again,
finishing touches on the fourth floor
are rapidly nearing completion. Work
on the ground floor will begin shortly
and the elevator, for which most of
the machinery is now on the ground,
will be installed.

Work Out Details
For Owyhee Road.
Will Push Squaw Creek
Cutoff; Boosters
Propose.

Plans to push the Squaw Creek cut
off, the Idaho link of the proposed
LON cutoff, were discussed at a
meeting of good road boosters held
at the Commercial club rooms We'd
nesday evening. AS a result: of the
conference, meeting of Canyon and
Cwyhee county commissioners is pro-
posed for next Thursday at Caldwell
to go definitely into arrangements for
putting over this project. II commits
sioners of the two counties, already
understood to favor the project, can
get together on some united plan, the
entire matter will be presented to the
state highway department III the hope
that construction work can be under
taken at once.
Fred Mcconnell, county surveyor
reported at the meeting that plans and
specifications for the road were prac-
tically complete. Costs, he estimated
will approximate $4,000. AT present
there is only about $4,000 ii sight to
carry on this work.
Nampa business men are uniting
with Caldwell in pushing thus project

MARKET
CONT|NUESDU[L
Idaho Shipments this
Week Almost Nil;
Chicago Weaker.

Potato markets continue to be glut-
ening and as result, shipping from
the Idaho districts has come to almost
complete standstill. According to
the federal report issued here Thurs
day, Idaho shipped but three cars of
potatoes Wednesday, Oregon only
one and Utah but five. Fort Worth
markets are recovering slightly from
the deluge that followed some time
ago when Idaho potatoes in quantities
far above the capacity of that market
to absorb were shot in there.
Chicago Thursday carried no quota
tons on Idaho potatoes. Wednesday
the price was about $l.l5, However,
the quantity of potatoes on the Chi
Icago market Thursday, 81 cars, is am
pie for several days, the market is
glutted and there seems to be no inn
mediate prospect for a Strengthening
of that market.
With cooler weather, it is expected
that shipments without ice can be be-
gun shortly New Jersey potatoes
shipped under ventilation have topped
the Chicago market all summer and it
is believed that when refrigeration is
no longer necessary, quotations on
Idaho stuff will rise somewhat. De-
spite the prospect for further re-
duction of six cents in the freight rate
on Idaho potatoes, there is no imme-
date prospect for active shipping to
begin again. Somewhat experiment
ally, the California Vegetable Union,
sales agency for the Canyon county
farm bureau, will ship out limited
amount of stuff beginning Thursday,
according to announcements made
Thursday through the Farm Bureau
News.

dications point to the heaviest enroll
ment in the history of the school
The two dormitories, Finney Hall
and VOORHEES, Hall have proved ina
dequate to house the large number of
students coming from out of town.

zens residing in the vicinity of the

left out of the dormitories to secure
comfortable rooms and board in homes
near the campus.
The summer has seen the remodel
ing of Sterry Hall in such a way to
provide additional class rooms while
the library and study room space has
been increased so per cent. The foot
ball squad will find an improved and
convenient dressing room and shower
room have been provided for their
use.
The system of enrolling and of keep
ing the records of the students has
been thoroughly revised in such a
way as to add to the convenience OF
both the faculty and the students as
we'll as to insure the greatest possible
amount of accuracy in this important
part of the work of the college office
The work of cleaning and removal
ing the buildings is going on this week
and all will be in readiness to receive
the students and to begin the years
work on next Tuesday.

GU 7 IN RATES
Colorado Applies for G.
Cent Reduction; Idaho
To Profit.

Colorado carriers have asked for
six cent reduction on current freight
charges on potatoes, and in all likli-
hood, the interstate commerce COM
mission will grant the application, ac-
cording to telegram received We'd
nesday by R. T. HURT, secretary of
the Commercial club, from Senator
Frank R. Gooding. When this reduc-
the same amount will be made on
Idaho potato freight rates, bringing
the total reduction to 20 cents, the
original application made by the
Union Pacific and effective until Oct
over /.
The telegram conveying this infor-
nation is as follows:
Advised by member interstate
commerce commission request
from Colorado has been received
and full reduction asked will be
effective in a day or two.
The IA cent reduction already made
was cut from the 20 cent reduction
sought because the Colorado produc-
ers protested such a reduction for Ida
no alone, They were asked to take
steps to induce Colorado carriers to APP
ply for a reduction that would permit
the full 20 cent cut to be made for
Idaho This is the application now
pending before the interstate COM
merce commission. Under its rules
the commission was powerless to grant
the full 20 cent reduction sought BY
Idaho in the face of Colorado's pro-
test without a formal hearing. This
hearing could not have been held for
months until, at least, the potato crop
movement season was we'll past.

 Officials at Langley field have been beset for a week or more with re- ports and rumors that the Roma was considered unsafe before she made her last flight, but they assert that thus far. they have been unable to find any one who has thrown any .di- rect light on this phase of the catas- tophe.

Washington. March 1.-Two impor- tant changes in government policy toward the nations railroads became effective today.
 The section of the transportation act fixing six per cent. as the return on railroad properties which railroads are entitled to earn under interstate commerce commission regulations eX- pired today Also with today there expired the period during which rail roads which were controlled by the government during the war are en- titled to ask government loans to aid them in continuing oprations after re- turn to private management.
