MILEAGE FREIGHT
RATES

Senator Gooding has announced he
will introduce in congress soon bill
providing that freight rates shall be
made on mileage basis. This is a
matter in which Idaho has very keen
interest and one that will bear careful
consideration.
Idaho is long distance from large
consuming markets of the United
States. with many producing sections
in between, and considerable doubt
has ben expressed by traffic NTH.

shippers, as to the advisability of a
straight mileage adjustment of freight
rates.

on potatoes, which is IL cents to Is
cents higher than the Greeley. Color

entirely on mileage, it has been point

Even now Idaho's producers are ap

AT the SCHOOLS
EDISON SCHOOL NOTES.

The pupils of room Two had
charge of the "Clean-Up' work on
the school grounds for the week end
ing October 18th. So careful were
all the pupils that not an apple core
or a paper rewarded their search.
The pupils of room Four have been
much enjoying this beautiful Octo-
Der weather. For their language
work Friday afternoon they handed
in original poems on October which
show, at least. that they have a real
poets appreciation of nature.
Here are some of them:

And the thistle seeds fly away.
