According to one of the leading whole sale grocers of this city, there has been disruption of the Pacific Traffic & Commercial Association, and such an outcome of the trouble is not considered probable. It Is said that only four out of the 42 members have withdrawn from the association. They are San Francisco firms who were dissatisfied with the traf fic arrangement, but they carry much less weight with the association than the heavy Portland buyers. So far as the trade of thjs city Is concerned, the com part, or traffic agreement, Is still In force and will doubtless remain so. It is ac knowledged, however, that future devel opments may alter the situation. A fac tor In the case is the invasion of the Coast Held by the Independent Hawaiian refinery, and it may yet secure a follow ing powerful enough to upset present conditions in the sugar trade of this part of the country. Until that time comes, c. at loast until the Western re-finery takes steps to combat the opposition, there will be no change In sugar prices. LEG BROKEN; LIGHTS FAIL.

The end was painless. It came as a paternal goodby, and while the sting of everlasting parting was there, it was softened by the knowledge that he to wno the summons came was prepared. Among the many who en joyed the rare privilege of Senator Shoup s acquaintance, his death Is re garded as a keen personal affliction. To the State of Idaho the passing of such a lovable character, such a broad-mind ed, unselfish, untiring worker for the welfare of the commonwealth is an ir reparable loss. There was no false ring in the pro fuse expressions of regret voiced on all sides when the news of the Sena tor's death spread. Among the count less friends of George L. Shoup. not one can be found who ever heard him utter an unkindly word of any man. none who ever knew him to refuse to perform a kindly act. He belonged to his family, his friends, his stato and his Nation, and to all trusts he was loyal. Little wonder It Is that flags -were half-masted, that men of all po litical beliefs stood In the chilly fog on the street corners, and deplored In sin cere tones the loss of a friend and counselor.

The eiks, the members of the Loyal Legion, and the Grand Army will participate in the obsequies, and the state will bo fully represented by tho executive and judl-: cial officers and the Justices of the Supreme Court. Although' the arrangements hav not been fully completed. It Is announced that tho casket will be taken to the Capitol building at 10 o'clock on Fri day morning. Surrounded by a guard of honor, the body will lie in state until the hour set for the funeral. This deci sion was reached In response to in sistent demands from the public which said Shoup has served so long and faithfully. It was felt that the people had a right to the opportunity to say farewejl to one who "held such a prom inent place In their hearts. The body of Senator Shoup will bo moved from the residence to the Capi tol building at 10 o'clock Friday morn ing. A detail of Knights Templars will act as an escort.
