of the friction that has developed
here and there between the inter
state commerce commission and state
brin about harmony, are down On
-the prog-ram for the annual meeting
f the National Association of State
.Railway and Utility Commissions,
r which will open in Washington on
"November 9. In some of the states
'. the commissions have declined to
' put into effect on intrastate traffic
the . advanced rates allowed by the
i Interstate commission. There is also
'a feeling that federal Jurisdiction
'' may be advanced under the new rail
road transportation act to deal with
matters which the state commissions
regard as of purely local concern.
The interpretation of the new law is
, now under way.
question with the state commissions,
and on the second day of the conven
tion Commissioner Clyde B. Aitchison of
the interstate commission will deliver
an address oa that subject and explain
the steps adopted by the commission to
" secure the bent possible car service.
'i This work la under the direction of Com
missioner Aitchison.
. m
Chairman Edtar E. Clark of the inter
state commission will deliver the address
' of welcome. ,In the call sent out to the
' state commissions the following com
. ment is made :
. "This association has not and never
can have any quarrel with federal regu
lation in the field of federal Jurisdiction.
' It has repeatedly placed itself on record
tween the states and the interstate com
merce commission. But it resent the
t efforts of those who seek to curtail the
, rightful powers of the sovereign states
over strictly Intrastate matters and who
cide whether a railroad company shall
1 build a new station which the local au
thorities consider necessary.
. "The Esch-Cummlns act in the confer
, ence stage practically gave this power
to the federal commission, and some in
terested parties are now trying to read
- It Into the law, under cover of the pro-
visions governing expenditures. The
danger was exposed by the alert general
solicitor of the association at Washing-
, ton and was averted by the prompt ac-
tion of some of the leading committees
of this body.
Against such attempts to disarm the
ly on its guard. It Is only fair to state
.that the interstate commerce commis
sion Itself has not shown any dlsposi-
tion to encroach upon the state field,
and Its chairmen have frequently urged
closer cooperation between federal and
: state commissions.
"In the recent, advanced rate case
, three state commissioners selected by
this association at the Invitation of the
. ? federal Commission sat with it. The as-
f sociation is earnestly desirous of con
tinuing these' harmonious relations, but
' it will stand firm In the future, as in the
past, for the right of each state to con
trol in matters of purely local regula-
' tion."

LOADS or
PRUNES SENT OUT
Vancouver, Wash., Oct. 16. The
first shipment of Clarke county
primes this year wfcs made Thurs
day by the Washington Growers'
packing plant to Seattle. The second
carload, shipped Saturday, went to
Buffalo, N. T.
Nearly one third of the county crop
has already been handled by the plant,
according t M. J. Newhouse, manager.
Tile prunes that have beeen received are
in unusually good condition, Newhouse
declared. Only prunes that wer not dam
aged or split by rain are being sent to
the plant, and these are testing much
better than expected, it is said.
Although some prunes have "been re
ceived by the plant which were not prop
erly dried, these have been returned to
the growers for a second drying. In
thla way, it is believed that prunes will
be packed and sent out In better condi
tion than ever before.
According to an estimate made by
M. L. Dean, chief of agriculture of the
state horticultural department, Clarke
county has suffered a $375,000 prune loss
on account of the rains. He .reports that
a probable loss of 2,500,000 pounds has
occurred from the original estimate of
an 6,000,000 pound crop.
According to local corporation officials
these figures are not correct, however,
and It is estimated that the crop of the
county will total about 8,000,000 pounds
in spite of the losses by the rains. The
heavy damage feared a few weeks ago
is much less than expected, according
to Henry Crass, treasurer of the corpo
ration and owner of a large prune
orchard
According to the figures compiled , at
Olympia, originally the value of ,'the
prune crop here was placed at $1,200,000
and stnee the loss at $825,000. It is esti
mated by the corporation that the prob
able value of the crop will be 1, 000,000.
