MANY ADVERSE
CONDITIONS CUT
LETTUCE CROP

The acreage planted to lettuce in

estimated at 1877 acres. by Coun-
" Horticultural Commissioner r.
\. Harrigan. Last years estimate
placed TIE total area in lettuce Al
14,l32 acres.
Around 40 per cent of tins sea-

ture early, during the last Of De
cember and the first half OF Janu-
ary, according to the best adFireS.
cbtainable. As stated AreE: 29SsT,
weather conditions caused %tonSid-
cradle losses on these r:fly plant
ings.
Late paintings have now expert
cneed a period Of nearly three
weeks when the night temperatures
have been ~: OR below freezing.
Considerable frost damage has been
reported but the greatest effect
may be cNpel l.enced in the future
development Of small sizes as =
result of the stunting Influence OF
the cold weather on the growth.
Frost has damaged :he outer leaves
quite generally in varying degrees
but it has also caused the heads
to grow more compact, making the
present shipments more desirable
than the more loosely headed stock
of the early offerings this season.
No definite statement can be
made a, this time rs to proaablc
future shipments. Present and flu
ture weather conditions influence
this factor almost entirely. Opin-
ions of local operators vary wide
" on actual estimates of shipments
for TIE season but they are ali
agreed that the crop has been cut
down very considerably below the
original estimates by weather and
market conditions to date.

Teton Spur Completed
by Railroad Company

The public utilities commission OF
the state of Idaho has been notified
by the Oregon Short Line that in
compliance with recent order is
sued by the commission the spur
track to the Teton county coal mines
has been put in condition for serv-
ice and that cars for the use of the
coal company have been spotted at
the mines as provided in the order
of the commission. Tariffs also have
been filed by the railroad company
on coal from the mines to all points
on the Oregon Short Line in Idaho, it
is announced by the commission. Ac.
ton Of the company in fixing the
spur to the mines grows out of
long continued controversy between
H. F. Samuels and others interested
in the mine and the Short Line rail-
road. The railroad maintained that
there was not assured sufficient ton
mage from the mine to justify the
expense of fixing the spur to the
mines and the commission required
Samuels and associates to file bond
to guarantee a specified output from
the mines for transportation over
The railroad before ordering the COM
)any to repair the track.

close the season on sage hens and
grouse, according to a statement is

their sticking close to water holes
and irrigating bitches. A survey is

CLUB TO URGE AIR
MAIL SERVICE HERE
Will File Application for
Blackfoot as Landing
Station

With the prospect for establish
ment of branch of the government
air mail service from Salt Lake to
tie. an effort will be made to have
Blackfoot made one of the delivery
ons. President C. c. Clarke, of
the Blackfoot chamber of commerce,
has appointed a committee compos-
ed j. H. Early, j. M. Hartong and
L. B. Dustin to take the necessary
steps to press Blackfoot's application
to be designated as a delivery point
should the Salt Lake to Butte route
be established. Petitions will be cir
culated and filed with the federal
department. Operation of the air
mail service has shortened mail de-
livery time from Salt Lake zone to
New York from four days to "a
hours.
Whether the effort to get Black
foot on the air mail route will be sue
cessful will depend of course upon
the establishment of the service from
Salt Lake to Butte. Many routes are
oeing proposed since the Inauguration
Of the mail service by airplane from
New York to San Francisco the first
If July. One proposed route affect
ng Idaho would give service to Po-
,atello, Twin Falls, Boise, Walla |
Walla and Spokane, with service to
North Idaho from Spokane.
