| Buffalo BAYOU was ia lac a factor in fi,tn,
rates. IL should he a fixed factor II fixed
the rair no, only on cotton going 10 Gal
weston but ON cotton going to all parts Of
the earth yet Galveston WAS ask'n,; that
1t be ignored IN fixing the rate on cotton
coming from points beyond Curyicann 4
the commission would turn Galveston and
| Houston loose on fair mileage basis with
out taking buffalo bayou into account he
| would say God speed the day" but the
bayou was there and II could not be ig
nored. II the differcutial is too much
there is no reason why Galveston can not
put in its own barge lines aud nullify II
or reap the benefit Of II. The hayou Is a
free avenue over which no power rules.
