Losses on Passenger Traffic
Claimed to Have Been
Enormous
Statement of F. l. Whitney Be.
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

CHICAGO, Aug. a-The question Of
ticket scalpers and their relations with
tho railroad companies entered into the
proceedings OF the interstate commerce
commission, which continued its in.
vestigation into the causes of the Can.
adian Pacific rate war. FL. Whitney,
representing the Great Northern rail.
way. In the course of his statement,
maintained that the American lines
had been held up by the Canadian Pa
cific. and at the price OF peace had been
obliged to give up differentials. Speak.
ing Of the increased traffic brought
about by the klondike boom, Mr..
Whitney declared that il the Canadian
Pacific had maintained tariff rates the
American railroad companies would
not have sustained enormous losses.
The speaker made a strong point Of the
fact that the passenger rates through.
out the country had become completely
demoral,zed as the result Of the action
OF the Canadian Pacific railway.
For osd to Reduce Eastern Rates Too.
Mr.. Whitney showed that the Can.
adian Pacific had forced companies to
reduce passenger fares from New York
10 st. Paul, and other western points
TO cent o mile. He declared that
such cut meant the loss Of enormous
sums to the companies. The transpor.
tation OF passengers to these western
points cost at least 2 cents q mile and
where the country Is hilly aud sparsely
populated the cost was evea greater.
Replying to question as to whether
the eastern lines had suffered through
the lowering OF rates. Mr.. Whitney
said he had been informed by railroad
officials in New York that the loss to
eastern lines had been appalling. de-
spite tho fact that the volume Of bust
ness had grea tly increased.

Does Baby
! hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
1t is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
