Provo Rural Press The Oregon
Short Line is putting in some mann
moth scales Mt their depot In Provo.
Such action has been necessitated by
the change in shipping live stock, etc.
Heretofore stock has been shipped by
the car, no matter what the weight.
but the new order states that all
freight, live or otherwise, shall he
weighed and paid according to the
weight. This method win certainly
give satisfaction to shippers, and will

HOLDING UP RAILWAYS
Yellow lack Does it in Regard TO the Grain
Crop Of the Southwest.
TRAINS STOPPED BY The QUARANTINE.


A dispatch received today from
Kansas city. Missouri announces that
Kansas City railroads having outlets
at Gulf ports are notifying shippers
that freight for Gulf points will be ac-
cepted subject to delay only. This is
due to the yellow fever quarantine.
which is now being rigldly enforced,
freight as well ms passenger trains be-
ing subject to the rule. There is every
indication that the big grain crop Of
the Southwest, which had begun TO
move in great quantity to the Gulf
ports. will be driven back to the At
iantic ports, from which II had been
largely diverted owing to the activity
OF the Gulf railroads. This will have
very little direct effect on the western
roads.

mites for the care Of the heather Ihere
had been no princely gifts or endoWments
to help the work, but the money raised was

The meeting was addressed by Mrs Sulli-
van briefly and in more length by Mrs. l)r
Thomson, the latter of Cincinnati. MRS
Thomson said that more money was spent
in twenty-seven days last year for whisky
and more in ffty-four days for tobacco
than was spent in foreign missionary work
in eighty years. She lectured the preachers
on their lack of spirit in aiding the women
in the foreign missionary work. She said
she understood that most of the Indiana
preachers did all they could to help the
cause but she feared some did not She
knew of instances where preachers opposed
the movement. She told of church in
kentucky where the preacher and the ofil-
cial board of the church voted to charge the
Womans Foreign Missionary Society $40
for the use of the church building as a
meeting place. The president of the So
ciety told the board that the bill would be
paid when presented in writing, but she
Insisted that it be in writing that she might
have it published. The bill was never pre-
scented.
Bishop Bowman made the money talk
for the women, and q large collection was
the result. 1t was for the specific purpose
of caring for the famine orphans in India
He stated that 81 would care for one for a
month. Many people in the audience Will
pay the expense of Indian famine orphans
during a month in the near future, for the
money collected is to be made use of at
once.
The meeting closed with short talk by
Miss Harriet Komper, missionary to India,
whose residence in this country is Ander-
son, Ind She talked of the missionary
work, especially of the girls schools. She
said that the Christian missionaries were
accomplishing wonders in India, breaking
down many of the ancient supersutions and
improving the condition of the people NOR
