The above is the rosy side of the pic
ture and the official report fails to men,
ton the many ranchers who through
their local associations marketed their
product with the commission men OF
Chicago, the cars arriving in the east
perhaps when the weather was cold,
thus necessitating the selling of the
fruit at auction-not enough being re-
allied to pay the freight. This has
occurred several times and this end OF
the tale one does not hear of unless he
gets into close communion with some
fellow who is sore at the country and
anxious to tell bis troubles. There are
many such here and by littlejudicious
pumping" one may hear both sides
of the story and then draw his own
conclusions.
