hearing on northwest petroleum
freight rates. was crisply denied
from the witness stand by W. o.
Banks, Standard assistant traffic
manager from San Francisco.
Banks had testified that, TO meet
Montana competition in the Spo-
kane area. Standard had cut its
transportation costs by moving
barges to Umatilla, Ore, where it
was relayed by truck to Spokane.
This operation, he said, was started
only June l.
Bonner, who is also attorney for
the board of railway commission
ers, Montana. emphasized that
Montana freight rates to Spokane
were already higher than from
Portland and Seattle TO Spokane.
Then he asked Banks, Isn't
II true that You are not trying
10 compete. but are trying to
eliminate Montana competition
In Spokane
NO" Banks replied. "All
we want is our fair share of
the business"
isn't ii a fact" Bonner per-
sisted, that you ran them
Montana interests) out Of
Spokane 2"
81 have no knowledge Of
that" Banks replied.
This was the most heated clash
OF the second day session, as attor-
neys for the biggest railway COM
panies and motor carriers on the
west coast met at the ice rate
hearing which stemmed specifically
from coast and Montana oil COM
panies' competition for northwest
business.
Robert Hutcherson. San Fran
cisco, traffic manager for Tide
water-Assoeiated Oil Co., testified
competitive rates were in the in
terests of good business.
Called by Railroads
Coincidentally, revealing con-
struction of huge storage tanks at
Umatilla, L. p. Mcnamara, Los
Angeles, shipping superintendent
OF Texas Co., said shippers pre-
ferred Portland over Seattle as a
port Of entry to the Northwest.
For that reason. he said, there was
little advantage in having the same
rates from Seattle to Spokane as
from Portland to Spokane because
shippers chose the latter route, ap-
parently for convenience and short
err distance. However, Hutcher-
son said his company preferred an
equal rate from both points for its
own efficient operation.
Hutcherson ard Mcnamara were
subpoenaed by the railroads, whose
rs cents per hundred-weight rate
on gasoline shipped from Tidewater
points to Spokane is under sus-
pension, due to protest of motor
carriers.
Reveal Plans
Mcnamara said that major COM
panies. pioneered by Standard Oil
Of California, were constructing
storage tanks at Umatilla for their
mutual use in transfer Of gasoline
from Columbia river barges to
trucks for inland distribution. He
said these facilities would be open
ed June %.
He testified his company alone
would move from 16 to 20, 600 900
gallons of gasoline an u y
through Umatilla II the distribu-
ton plan was carried out.
Mcnamara said the Inland Navi-
CATION Co. had quoted rates of ia
cents per hundred weight to barge
gasoline from Portland to Umatilla.
The truck rate from there to Spo-
kane was quoted as II cents, he
said.
Answering ICC Commissioner
Clyde b. Aitehison, Mcnamara said
the Columbia had become suddenly
prominent in recent months be-
cause OF the cheapness OF water
transportation. He said major COM

To Conduct Summer Camps
For Young BallpIayers

Lincoln county boys who think
they might have ability that would
enable them eventually to enter
professional baseball, will be inter
ested IN announcement that the Gin
clnnau Reds will again conduct
their summer-camps for young ball
players. One will be held at Butte
on August Is to 10; one at Occur
d'Alene, Idaho, on August % to 26.
The camps will be in charge of
various scouts of the Cincinnati or
ganizatlon. At each one, several
games of four innings will be played
daily. Time will be called frequent
ly for purposes of instruction. There
will be no tuition charge, but boys
will be expected to furnish their
own uniforms, gloves, and shoes.
without which they may not take
part in games They must also pay
their own transportation and living
expenses. Experience shows that
S1.5O to $500 day should be
enough to cover the latter. Those
who appear ready to start in pro-
fessional ball will be offered con-
tracts in the Cincinnati organiza-
ton. 1t is hoped that all players
will profit, however, from their at
tendance at the camps.
All inquiries should be addressed
to the Pacific coast agent of the
Reds farm clubs. Charles E. Chap
man, Il Via Faralon, Orinda. Calf

Finds Cure For
Pesky Dondeliohs

II is doubtful if there is any place
in the wide, wide world where dan
delions grow as prolifically as they
do in Libby. This can be testified
to by all home-lovers who have
labored long and diligently to build
up and maintain a lovely lawn only
to have it invaded by the pesky
little yellow flowers. But we should
all be of good cheer A remedy has
been found for the pesky pest-a
remedy that works most efficiently
so it is said.
The remedy is a simple one. None
other than common coal oil or kero-
sene. But one must be careful to
use water-white kerosene. and II
must be applied properly. The rem
edy was developed by A. H. Post, OF
the experiment station of our own
State College, at Bozeman. Samuel
C. Litzenberger. of the State Col
lege, recently described the process
as follows.
"At Bozeman experiments have
been run for three years and we
find that kerosene is fairly salts
1dElOlY lOl udiiotiiOii Ii odi1otioii. "A
year ago last fall the lawn areas
were sprayed rather late and due
TO an early blanket of snow con-
siderable grass was killed along
with the dandelions. Last fall, an
other series of plots were sprayed,
resulting in some very good re-
suits.
1.-The requirements for the kero-
sene are that it must be the So
called water-White kerosene. In
other words. it should be a clear
color and not be yellow. The vel
low types appear to be toxic to the
grass as we'll as to the dandehons
Although any water-white kerosene
will do, we have been obtaining oul
kerosene for the spray work from
the Yale Oil corporation.
Various rates of spraying have
been tried out but the best results
have been obtained when TX gal
Ions of kerosene are applied to {
square rod of area It is best to
apply the spray about the first Of
October or when tha average tenn
perature is around SIS or so degrees
Fahrenheit According to reports
from Iowa. poor results are obtained
when the lawns are sprayed during
the summer time when tempera
lures are high
