Hay Dristid Cat
Get Reief Frea
The Railroads

Failure on the part OF the rail-
roads to provide cars for the ship
ping OF hay has caused . big fin.
ancial depression around Hooper
and Mosca. It Il estimated that Z
thousand cars of hay in the vicinity
OF Mosca and about 200 cars around
Hooper are still in the growers
hands because Of their inability to
get cars.
Most of the hay was contracted
for early last summer to be deliver.
ed In August. But the growers
could not get cars and with the re-
duction Of freight rates. the buyers
could get hay cheaper from other
states so the contract was broken.
The hay is of unusual quality.
There was no moisture during the
cutting season and the growers say
1t is the best crop they have had
for years. About = fourth Of the
crop is baled while the rest ia
stacked.
During the month of December
eleven cars was furnished to Mosca
and for the first three weeks in
January they had received eight Al
first the railroad officials said they
did not have the narrow guage mo-
tive power to bring the cars. The
railroad was given permission to let
the passenger train haul the hay
cars. But no cars have been taken
to Mosca and Hooper. Two cars OF
hay loaded Just after Christmas
were still on the switch last week.
The communities have passed
resolutions. sent delegations. appeal.

said their least encouragement
came from utility commission. Many
