Senator Gooding takes exception to
the article in the morning Statesman
reporting conference between mayors
and railroad officials with reference
ito grain rates from Idaho, announc-
ing reduction In the rates OF wheat

proposed rate so cents, reduction or
51k cents on minimum capacity car

that many rates have been Increased.
The present rate for an $4,000 pound
car, Idaho Falls to Chicago is 81 cents
and the new rate 631a cents; present
so, 900 pound car rate from Pocatello
to Chicago 81 cents, new rate 6Sh
cents. Present $4,000 pound car rate
Twin Falls to Chicago So cents, new

from points on the west end OF tho

that the average weight Of cars OF
wheat carried by the Oregon Snort
fine during the year Of 1922 was over
80, 900 pounds.
The Senator expresses great disap-
pointment in the outcome Of the Po-

mission to take. formal action toward
reimbursement Of these rates and to
put the rate west bound to Portland

asked by his professor, during the
course Of a lesson, what is cleo

for a moment, and then made this

professor returned, dryly, What a
pity!-the only man in the world who
ever knew what electricity is, and

a tank which is filled with vegetable

appealing until one realizes that after
thirty seconds they are removed and
drained. 1t appears that the cooling

MIGHT NOW BE SAID TO BE the
refrain Of the many women in Eng

women who are performing their

that one firm Of women electricians
