WHEN Till: RANCHER LOS KM
On Monday of this week a reduc
tion of 8 cents por hundrod was
mado In tho freight rnta on potntoct
to tbo Middle West. It will rosuli
In saving thousands of dollars fot
tho ranchers of tho valloy. Dut had
It boon In otfect whan first potatoes
wero shipped othor thousands of
dollars would bavo been saved.
Tako tho caso of Canyon county
Idaho for example. Doforo tho or
dor becamo offoctlvo COO carloads
bad been shipped, averaging 15 tons
por car. Tho reduction of 8 conts
por hundred would havo roducod
tho freight at tho rato of $24 per
car, or $14,400 on tho 600 cars,
Thnt represents Just that much
should havo been saved for the
ranches.
Had there boon a traffic bureau
In oporatlon, which had for Its busi
ness tho study and adjustment of
rato Inequalities, this saving would
havo been accomplished.
Thoro aro other products bcsldo
potatoes upon which adjustments
may ta tecurod. Thoro Is hay for
uzatnplo. Thoro should bo an ad
Juatmont In tho hay rato If this sec
tion of tho country Is to bo per
mitted to ontor tho market whoro
hay Is sold.
Unless It Is to bo admitted that
It Is not economically posslblo to
raise hay lioro for shipment a fight
must bo mado to socuro an adjust
ment. How aro wo to go about It.
Each community cannot go about
sottllng each of tho-o commodity
ratos with tho railroad company.
Such an effort must omhraco all this
valloy from Mountain Home to
Huntington, for what will apply to
anyono of tbo communities In this
section appllos to all.
It Is thoroforo esaontlal that a
united effort bo mado and also that
la evory ono of thoso communities,
tliero be an active commlttoo of bus
iness mon and ranchers convorsant
with conditions affoctlng tholr In
terests and thoso of tho community
aa a whole.
Years ago It used to cost moro to
ship a carload of apples from Em
mett than It did from Payette or

Caldwell. Tbo Rolso traffic bureau
wont to tho railroads and socured
an adjustment wheraby tho same
rato applies from Emmett and all
tho branch towns from Nampa to
Emmett as applies from tho main
lino.
Today It costs moro to ship ap
ples from Drogan and Jnmlcson than
It does from Ontario and Payette.
Now In all reason thoro Is no oxcuso
why Emmett should havo tho samo
rato as tho main lino towns, when
Drogan cannot havo. What Is truo
In rato making In Idaho should be
equally trifo In Oregon.
Thoro nro but a few examplos of
tho problems which a traffic bureau
would havo to deal with. There
aro hundreds of thorn and It Is es
sonttal thnt they bo flolvcil. Tho on
ly way to solvo thorn Is to proceed
to work for a solution.
"MAIN HTHKKT"
Periodically tliero appears a nov
el which attracts moro attention
than Is Its duo. Pcoplo read It, and,
finding something which appears to
thorn familiar, tickles somo fancy,
or coincides with somo of tholr
own preconceived notions, rccoin
mond to their friends as the great
est novol of tho day. Such a story
Is "Main Street" In which Sinclair
I, owl draws bis Idea of life In a
small Amorlcan town.
Thoro Is Just enough truth In
Mr. Lowls' plcturo of Main Street
to mako It familiar to anyono who
has over boon fortunato enough to
know tho Ufa of n small town. Hn
has ndaptod tho well known char
acters; It ono looks nbout him and
thinks of tho oxcontrlcltlos of neigh
bors and Into tholr activities ho
has woven a plot.
Tbo plcturo Is ovor drawn. It Is
cynical. It la tho conception of a
small town audi as n supercilious
"city" man whose digestion was had
might draw from somo characters
to bo found anywhere In big cities
as woll as small towns.
Yet tho story Is worth reading In
splto of Its ohjcctlonablo features.
Thoro aro fow howovor who will
agroo that tho woman roformors
who Jumped from ono hobby to an
other and qultoach worthy ambi
tion whon alio oucountorcd tho first
opposition Is entitled to tho sym
pathy sho craved. Nor yet will It
bo agrood that tho self complaconcy
of tho Inhabitants of Gopher Pralrlo
was entirely Justified. Thoro Is
a mossago In "Main Stroot" howovor
for ovory ono.
For tho complacent "Main Street"
may Jar thorn from tholr smug sat
isfaction of tho purely material, and
teach them that thoro la another
vlow of llfo than that which satisfies
thorn. For tho tdoallst thoro Is a'
losaon In tbo solid nchlovomontH
which tlmo nlono can bring through
tbo Instrumentality of thoso who do
not for sako tholr alms with oach
robuff. Thoy to will find that ox
ample, moro than precept appeals
to tbo avorage community; that aer
vlco, not aentlmont Impolls faith and
Inspires followers.
Durlng eoasons, such as this,
whon other sections aro Buffering
from crop failures duo to drought,
ranchers on Irrigated farms appre
ciate that though costly, Irrigation
pays.
A Frultland bench applo ranch
wus held at $19,000 two years ago.
This year Its crop was sold for
$28,000. What-Is that rauch roally
worthT
It cost ono Canyon county farm
er $3,000 becnuso- ho did not know
that tho potato crop In tbo Kaw
river valley was a failure And
with his neighbors who sold to
speculators the total loss of tho
Canyon county ranchors Is declared
to bo $500,000. That Is a mighty
high costing Ignorance,
