fed that the railroads would In the long
run make money out Of mills per ton
per mile rate from Kansas to Galveston.
The farmers would get more for their grain
and have more money to buy goods with,
which would increase the movement Of re-
turn freight. Possibly the low rates from
East St. Louis to the seaboard may have
been emergency rates, but did not know
about II.
Galveston has three regular lines Of
steamers In the export grain business.
Much grain is also carried out by tramp
s,eansNs.
d. C. 1mboden. Galveston grain exporter,
was called to the stand. Since 1890 there has
been a general scaling down OF rates on
grain from the Mississippi river to the East.
Towards Galveston It has been the other
wav. Distance was taken into considera-
ton in making rates to the East and rates
made are less than for a shorter haul.
Rates to Galveston are higher than
to the seaboard. according to the
distance. Tho effect of holding Kansas
grain rates up is to reduce prices received
bv producer and to allow Eastcrn points to
participate In business and make profit
out Of It at the expense of the farmer.
When the rates were reduced to allow grain
to move via the gulf. the Kansas farmer
realized 8 cents per bushels more on his
corn. The Eastern farmer, being nearer TO
the Eastern market, has an advantage In
tho matter of rates which the Kansas farm
er should enjoy by virtue of his proximity
TO Galveston. Grain was blockaded at all
ports as we'll as at Galveston last season.
Galveston will have storage capacity for
9 500 600 bushels OF grain this fall with
transfer facilities for about 200 cars, or
more than double that of last year.

Would you have thought that Barton
county had over 1000 carloads of stuff
for sale last year?
There were, however, 238 cars of
live stock shipped into the county dur
ing the year, to be fed here.
Add to the stock and grain shipped
out. the millions of dozens of eggs, the
thousands of pounds of butter and
other creamery products, and you will
begin to get an idea hat Barton county
