THE ONE-WAY RATE PLAN
For Christian EndeavOr Passenger Tranlc
to San Francisco.

to Sam Francisco.
CHICAGO, April 24.-At a meeting o!
the western roads yesterday afternoon,
held to consider Christian Endeavor
rates, resolution was submitted for
the adoption of a one-way rate of SIS
in both directions between Chicago
and San Francisco via the Missouri
river, and 49, so via st. Paul and Port
land. This resolution is assured of
adoption.
The Southern Pacific road objects to
the one-way rate plan, but the other
lines think it is the only way left them
of protecting their local business. Oh
course the Southern Pacific can refuse
to adopt the plan, and if SO, that
would kill it. In that case, however,
the western roads would simply say
that under such Circumstances they did
not care to go into the business at all.
The result of that course would be to
take the convention away from San
Francisco and leave the Southern Pa.
cific in the cold.

The crop bulletin, issued by the Mis-
Bouri section, climate and crop service,
weather bureau, for the week ended
April 20, says:
The past week has been much more favorable
for farm work than any previous week this sea-
son, and in most sections of the state considera-
bic progress has been made in sowing oats and
preparing ground for corn The rainfall was
generally very light, and there was good per-
centage of sunshine. The temporal ure, however,
was much below the normal, and, in consequence,
vegetation has made but little Announcements
Heavy frosts occurred on several dates, and in
some Of the southern counties early Strawber-
rieS are reported killed Tree fruits are also
reported damaged in some localities, but it is
believed that result they have SO far eS-
capped serious injury. Oat-sowing is nearly
completed in many of the central and south
ern counties, and is in progress in
the northern sections. Complaining has been
commenced in most of the central and southern
counties, and in a few of the southwestern coun-
ties is well advanced. Over large portion of
the state. however, the ground is still wet and
cold Flax sowing is in progress in the south
west, and cotton planting has commenced in
Dunklin county. Except in a few counties, gar
dening and potato planting have progressed
slowly. Winter wheat, clover and grasses and
oats that are up are doing well, considering the
