pounds. while Lhe rate 10 Wichita

pounds, while the rate To Wichita
was 90 cents per 100 despite the fact
that Wichita was much the shorter
distance.
The excuse alleged is the low rates
from New Orleans TO ST. Louis and,
while we are willing 10 cOncede that
there are some grounds for discli nina
tion In favor of ST. Louis III the
matter, we fail TO find any just reason
why a Kansas point, located within
'OO miles OF the sea, should pay rate
oil l5O per cent higher than is paid by a
point some 200 miles more distant, or
why an Oklahoma point $50 miles
yet nearer to Galveston should pay
the same rate which is absolutely
prOhibitOry, or why even points in
the state OF Texas herself should pay
these same rates and, while we are
discussing this problem, We beg leave
TO call your attention to the fact
that the Determinations against the
territory OF Oklahoma are as great or
even greater than those suffered by
the people OF the state of Kansas.
While Oklahoma is new, she is rapidly
developing and the products of her
farms will soon be no incOnSeQueut
figure in the commerce of the world.
Her people are suffering from the
same or even greater diScrimi ations
than the people Of Kansas.
But while the determinations
against cereals are great, the
determinations against cotton are
greater.
The rate on cotton from Fort
Worth to Galveston is s. cents per
100 and the rate from Oklahoma is
Y cents yer 100. which makes the
rates on cotton about equal to first
class freight and SC per cent higher
than sugar.
This your committee views not
only in the light of discrimination
butrather 10 the light of inexcusable
outrage.
In conclusion, let us state that we
have met a most cordial reception
nv the people NJ tie great state Of
Texas. Everything that could be
done to make our stay both pleasant
and profitable has been done. Her
citizens evidently are awakening to
the full importance Of lower freight
rates to the north, and your com
mittee is fully convinced that the
business men and the people of Texas
generally are standing ready t. Join

York and Il in Chicago. and we were

UHN - III NulOdkO, duu VIC WCTC
assured by good and competent
authority that the wharfage charges
on grain in the port of Galveston are
lower than those Of any port on the
American continent.
In the matter Of freight rates We
not only found rates from Kansas aud
Oklahoma points extremely high, but
discriminating as well. In fact, the
Determinations are Of such a glaring
and unreasonable character as TO be
absolutely ineXcusable. For instance.
the freight from Whicita, Kan, to
Galveston is 26 cents per 100 pounds
GU corn and 81 cents per 100 pounds
on wheat. while the rate from Omaha,
Neb., to Galveston on corn is only q
cents per 100 aud wheat q cents per
100, despite the fact that the haul is
nearly 400 miles longer from Omaha
than from Wichita.
This is but one instance. And for
the purpose o. showing you that these
Determinations are general we append
the following list with the rates per
lOO on corn and wheat from the points
given To Galveston.

The Railroad Situation.

Last Friday the following telegram
relative to a proposed extension Of the
Rock Island road from Liberal, Kan,
to Roswell, n. NJ, appeared in all the
leading papers;
Trididad, COL, April pa repre-
sentative Of the passenger department
Of the Rock Island was in Trinidad
today and stated that the Rock Is
land would build into Trinidad from
Liberal, Kan, and thence south to
Roswell, n. NJ, connecting there with
the PecOs Valley railroad, recently
purchased by the Rock Island.
They will tap their coal lands west
OF here aud also that recently acquired
az Salid0, n. NJ. The party intimated
that the Rock Island was negotiating
tor the purchase Of the Texas Pacific
from PecOs City, Tex, to Fort Worth.
This news may hasten the Santa Fe
TO begin work on its proposed extern
sion from WaShburn, Tex, to Albu
querQue, Nm, and to connect with
the Pecos Valley railroad.
The Rock Island has western ter
minal facilities at Liberal. The pro-
posed extension from Liberal to Ros.
well would mean that the Santa Fe is
to be cut off from that territory unless
they 6ulld their rUa1 at once. 1t may
develop Into race between the ROCK
Island aud the Santa Fe as 10 which
can get their lines Into Roswell and
connect with the PecOS Valley road
first.
When Third Vice President Paul
Morton was in this city last winter he
Informed the VOICE that a con.
Meeting link with Tie PecOs Valley
road would be built in the near future.
OF course he claimed that the PecOs
Valley road would build the connect
ing lire, but ii was only policy On his
part to say so. 1t since develops that
Santa Fe extension from Wasnburn,
Tex, TO Albuquerque, n. NJ, Is pract'
ically settled, and the belief is now
general hat aspur from the main line
starting at a point IN eastern New
Mexico or western Texas will be built
to connect with the Pecos Valley at
Roswell, thus cutting out the Rock
Island in It's proposed extension.
Of course the whole matter is more
or less a conjecture, as it is absolutely
impossible to gain any reliable infor-
nation Of what railroad proposes u
DO, but If signs point to anything
something definite in proposed rail
road construction will turn up before
very long.

A Request to the Public.

Decoration Day has been set apart
as day to commemorate the noble
deeds and heroism of those who
fought, bled, and died for the cause
of union and freedom in our land. 1t
is, therefore, a day which should be
kept sacred to the memory of these
men and to the principles for which
they thus made sacrifice. AS such it
should be free from anything that will
tend to draw the minds OF men from
the proper observance of the same.
Hence, the Pastors Union kindly
requests that no arrangements be
made for the playing of games, con-
tests or for any other amusements,
and that all abstain from any conduct
that will in the least detract from the
solemnity of the day. Let the people
attend the decoration services as ar
ranged by those having them in charge,
and the rest of the time demean them.
selves in a manner that will show
respect and honor to the heroes . four
land, and an appreciation for the
principles for which they SO nobly and
faithfully battled. Let the rising
generation see that those who make
sacrifice for their country are rightly
esteemed, and thus instil lessons of
patriotism which could not otherwise
be taught.
Hoping that the people of Blooms
burg will realize the importance and
solemnity of this day, and keep it in
accordance Herewith, this request is
Respectfully submitted by
The PASTORS UNION.
