Show VICTORY IS SCORED B'f PWIOK Interstate Commerce Commission Com-mission Comes to Rescue of the Gem State. Special to The Tribune. BOISE, Idaho, May 23. Idaho has scored another victory in the fight to prevent an increase in freight rates on potatoes shipped from this state into tho southern markets. The public utilities commission has been notified that the interstate commerce commission has rendered ren-dered an opinion in the case of the Commercial Com-mercial Club of Greeley et al. vs. the Colorado & Southern Railway company, wherein it is heid that the rates from Idaho are not unduly prejudicial to Greeley. Greeley sought to have the differential between that place and Idaho widened, either by reducing the rate at the Colorado Colo-rado end or increasing it at the Idaho end. Had it been successful in ei ther, the differential would have been made so large for Idaho that shippers in this state could not afford to ship potatoes into Texas and Mew Mexico, their principal markets. While tho Idaho figtit against increasing increas-ing the differential was successful, the efforts to retain the southern markets to Idaho shippers is not entirely won, for the railroad administration purposes to Increase the rates on potatoes, as weil as other commodities, and the shippers and commission are bitterly opposed to the art. They are preparing to go before the freight committees and contest it to the end. $30,000 Building Planned. Special to The Tribune. TWIN7 FALLS, Idaho, May 23.
