BUSINESS NOT FALLING OFF.

Pee Gees Good Showing for the
First Week in April.
President Stilwell of the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf says that the road dur
ing the first week in April earned $1,000
more than 1t ever did in any first week
in any month. The road hauled 1875 cars
more lumber than any previous week To
the Kansas City Star Mr.. Stilwel says:
"They say our business is falling off
because of the boycott. l could end that
boycott any day that | would enter the
press associations. But our Texas bust
ness, all that is affected, is only $500 a
day. and 1t wouldn't pay to lose the bisi-
ness we get because of the boycott for what
little we'd get If it were declared off.
I'VE have had five boats in from Mex
leo in the last four weeks: we are keeping
up our European trade in spite of war
rumors. But we are having a hard fight
to do it, for the other roads are sending
men around to bankers and brokers ask
ing them not to lend us money and urg-
ing them to depreciate our securities. The
whole thing is a fight of the worst char
acter because we have refused TO join in a
rate combination against shippers. The
freight boycott is dead. We have made
more money since it started than ever be-
fore
I'VE believe that Kansas City should
have the same rate per ton mile to tide
water as Chicago has to New York. That s
what we are fighting for, and that's the
secret of the bitter fight made on us both
in the East and at home

LAST OF rue SEASON.
One More Trip for The Famous Train
This Spring.

One More Trip for The Famous Train
This Spring.
The Southern Pacific people have given
notice that the famous Sunset limited run
ming between Chicago and San Francisco
over the Alton. Iron Mountain. Texas and
Pacific and Southern Pacific, and the An
mex, running between New Orleans and
El Fdso, will make ono more trip each this
season.
The quarantine of last fall had the effect
of the limited being run out of Chicago In
stead of New Orleans, but as the season
advanced an annex service was established
ont of New orleans. The officials report
that the new route grew in popularity and
drew satisfactory patronage. Next sea
son however. if nothing interferes, the
limited will be resumed between the Cres-
cont City and San Francisco, the establish
nent Of an annex service between chicago
and Ell Paso being one of the probabilities
According TO the schedule the last annex
,,;,l mass through Houston, eastbound' May
and westbound May 4.
