Eastport sends Sin a weird and strict
ly true story of the experience of a
Canadian fisherman in Passamaquoddy
bay. He was fishing in the midst of a
school of pollock when he fell out of
his boat. But the pollock in the school
were SO numerous and 50 closely
packed together that he was unable to
sink or SWIM! and they 'carried him
down the bay for eight niles. Then by
shouting loudly he frightened the fish
so that they scattered. and after swim
ming q, short. time he Was. rescued by
some other fishermen. His adventure
so unnerved him that his hair turned
white during his strange ride.
Good stories never come singly, and

LETTER THAT SHOWS
ST. LOUIS PROGRAMME
HAS TO FIGHT FOR TRADE IN
HOME FIELD.
Middle West City Meets With Local
Illustration Of Tendency Con-
cerning Shipments by
Carloads.

Jobbers and manufacturers in this city
are in receipt OF a circular letter that has
come 10 light over the signature of A. J.
Vallandingham. commissioner OF the St.
Louis Freight Bureau. This was ad-
dressed 10 the hardware, agricultural and
vehicle interests by Mr.. Vallandingham.
Therein he called upon the interests men
toned TO protest against the proposed
changes in freight classification by rail-
road lines east of the Mississippi River
and north OF the Ohio. In his letter Mr..
Nallandingham included a tabulated
statement Of the proposed changes which
applied 10 agricultural implements and
something over forty other articles.
The point in the matter. as indicated
Mr. Nallandingham's territory will leave
practically unchanged the classification
upon carloads. but will advance the class
itcation one notch on all the articles in
the list on less than carloads.
Mr.. Nallandingham addressed himself TO
his followers forcibly TO advise them to
protest against the limit that the new
classification made upon the jobbing trade
OF st. Louis. Unless wrote he, this
movement is checked, the jobbing trade
of 81. Louis will be limited 10 a very small
territory and manufacturing trade will be
carload only"
This indicates. according TO the jobbers
OF San Francisco, that ST. Louis, while
trying 10 grab the iobbing trade OF the
Pacific Coast and appropriate the Pacific
Coast territory, is very much frightened
by neighbors who may act just the
tobbers are acting in regard TO this coast.
The move Of the railroads referred 10 in
the Nallandingham letter also illustrates
the tendency of the railroads all over the
country TO discriminate in favor OF the
carload as against the less than carload.
because the carload is handled by the
roads with less trouble than the less than
carloads. Two paragraphs from Mr.. Val
landinghams letter are as follows:
THE following changes in official class
ifcation are now contemplated by lines
east of the Mississippi River and north
of the Ohio. II made In that territory.
