velop.

He had never seen such a demand for
cars as there was now, he said. The
Union Pacific was short tr IN zoo to 400

started in early on account of the crops,
They were not good in the western part
of Kansas, but were all right in Texas,
Colorado and other points west of the
Mississippi.

Rio Grande would reap great benefits,
since the cut terminates at Denver and
in no way effects rates beyond. A rate
of $12 or less once made would induce
an immense immigration from the East

passenger and freight business. The

this and are Law ne Oy
