as to State shipments.
All roads IN the State except the Santa
Fe and Katy met the commissions re-
quest in the matter OF a reduction OF the
interstate rate from 221s cents, but those
two roads have continued to apply that
rate. Since the rate OF 8 cents for STATE
shipments was promulgated those two
roads have had a great deal of oats TO
haul, and they are not refusing a State
shipment ct that figure, AS 1t does not
apply to other roads, other ro->ls are not

people claim that they are getting all

Mr.. and Mrs. John II. Kirkland OF

Relative 10 the conditions In the West.
Mr.. Kirkland said; THE people of Colo

ests have never at any time attracted so
much attention as at present, and the
next industry OF Importance. that OF cat
tie, Is OF course doing as well In our State
as in any other In the West. Pueblo, my
home city Is growing constantly, and we
feel that the prediction made for IL some
years ago by joy Gould, that It was bet
ter able To control the trade Of the Rocky
Mountain district than any other city. will
be fulfilled. Pueblo Is today the leading
manufacturing city between Kansas CITY
and San Francisco not excepting your own
entsrprising city OF Houston. The steel
works located there are now employing
2G00 men, and more than taat number ors
engaged In smef,ers and other Industrial
pursuits.

Rumor IL Believed.

Since the abolition OF ticket commits
sions, February 1, there have been any
number OF schemes started to endeavor to
whip the companies into line on the mat
ter. While the ticket agents Of course do
not like to lose the revenue which they
formerly derived from the system, they
realize that the companies will do some
thing for them in the matter of increased
salaries. as heretofore salaries have been
based on the amount an agent was able
to make out OF commissions. Circulars
have been issued. one OF which was re-
Gently published in The Post, in which
common agents are advised to route all
business by the ''strong lines" aud In this
way force the weak lines TO pay COM
mission II Is believed the scalpers are
behind this movement. The scalpers are
dying hard. but it is claimed by the pas
senger mep that the anti-cominisslon
agreement is the only plan by whieh they
can be eliminated from the ticket bust
ness. The latest circular is one which
emanateS from so-called coupon
agents " organization. Every agent IN
the country has been addressed on the
subject.
He is advised to send SIS for membership
and hereafter ticket commissions will DO
paid through the headquarters of the or
ganizatlon. The Houston agents have
thought the matter over and they can not
see the wherefore Of the So; they do not
see where the benefit is to come In and
they are not sending that much money to
man they know nothing about. 1t IL
not thought any agent In Texas will Join
at the rate named or under the terms sug-
gested.
The agents are convinced that the COM
panles will stand by the present agree
ment They are further convinced that the
companies which they have served faith
fully in the past will not let them suffer
in the matter of salary, or expect then, to
work on salary too small to keep UP
respectable appearance. The new llay is
in It's infancy. and some time will be re-
CURED to get things on a working basis,
but IL Is believed In all circles that a
schedule of salaries will be adopted by the
roads which will be satisfactory to all.
