AGENTS SALARIES
 70 BE INCREASED Railroad Companies to Do the
 Proper Thing. K C. M. & B. WILL LEAD OFF Necessitated by Cutting Of of Commis- Adoption of an Interchange able Mileage Book Not Gen
 erally Approved
K. C. M. 6 B. WILL LEAD OFF

Anent the abolition of commissions to ticket agents, it is now said that a num- Der of the railroad companies. if not all of them, will increase the salaries of their agents at small towns and stations. It IS stated on reliable authority that the Kan sas City, Memphis and Birmingham road will lead off in the movement, increasing the pay of it's agents within the next month or two, and 1t is very likely that other roads will follow the K. C.s lead at an early date thereafter.
 The order abolshing the paying of com- missions went into effect on February 1. and since that date it is very probable that the income of a great many of the agents has been reduced by half. The question of increasing salaries has been discussed by the executive officers of nearly all of the leading roads of the country and was brought up at a meeting held in New York recently. After the adjournment of that meeting it was given out on what seemed ito be good authority that the ticket agents of the different roads of the United tates would receive better compensation for their services than they are now receiving. Since that time nothing has been heard of the proposition, and it Is not known if the mat ter is being further considered.
 If the Kansas City, Memphis and Birm- ingham puts into effect the proposed in- crease, it will be the first road to adopt that method of compensating it's ticket sell CTS for the loss they sustained in the aboli- tioG of commissions.

Interchangeable Mileage


 The effort to bring about an agreement between the roads in the south to adoDt an interchangeable mileage book Is not meeting with much success. It is stated that the Louisville and Nashville. the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Western and Atlantic. and one or two oth- CT lines are in favor of the interchangeable book, but its adoption is opposed by other strong lines.
 The Alabama Great Southern mileage book is now good over the entire Queen and Crescent system, from Cincinnati to New Orleans, and from Meridian to Shreve- port, and also over the Southern railway system and the Northern Alabama rail- road The total distance on which the book is good exceeds 5000 miles, Class.fi fication Committee The southern classification committee has ,5een in session at the Pone DeLeon hotel, St. Augustine, Fla, since Wednesday. The question of rates and classification of ari- ces shipped by freight are being consid- cred. It is not proIoal5fe that any very material changes will be made in the pres eIrt taiiff schedules.

Strong Association Of Capitalists
Organized to Develop q
Quarry In Baraga Co.
HAS A CAPITAL OF $4,000
Property is just Across the
Line Dividing Baraga and
".
HOughtOn Counties.

The Superior Red Sandstone com
pany is the name of new organiza-
tion recently formed in Heughton.
The capitalization Of the company is
$50, 900, and the property owned by
it is section 2, township 52 north,
range 36 west, in Baraga county,
just across the line dividing Baraga
and Houghton counties. The prop
erty is not altogether new one, its
former owner, Jeremiah Arm, hav-
ing done large amount OF explera-
tory work on it and brought it to
the attention of capitalists many
times with the object of interesting
them in it. Samples OF the rock
taken out showed the property to be
one of great value, but lit was not
until a recent date that Mr.. Arm
succeeded in accomplishing anything
practical in the matter. In his last
efforts he interested a number of the
most prominent citizens of Hough-
ton county, says the Gazette, who
inspected the property last sum
mer, and the result was as stated.
The list of stockholders is as follows:
S. X. Warriner, James B. Cooper,
Will A. Childs, w. f. Parnall, John
Duncan, Fred Smith, J. II Rice,
Ernest Bollman, G. Martini, Jere-
miah Arm, James r. Cooper, and q.
w. Wright. The directors are W.
E. Parnall ]. II. Rice, John Duncan,
Fred Smith, Ernest Bollman, James
B. Cooper and jeremiah Arm. The
officers chosen for the first year are:
President, James Il. Cooper; vice
president, Ernest Bollman; secre
tary and treasurer, j. ii. Rice.
One advantage the property is
said to have over others is that, SO
far as known, and it has been pretty
thoroughly explored, there are very
few crevices in it, therefore the stone
can be taken out in large blocks
in almost any shape desired. The
Duluth, South Shore h Atlantic
railway has. a branch of its road
running into the quarry, thus Civ
ing it needed shipping facilities.
The company will have business
Office at Houghton, also one in Chi
cago. Operations will be commenced
early next spring, and quantity Of
the stone shipped to points where it
is kpown it will meet with ready
sale owing TO its excellent quality.

at the head of the Republican ticket,
and never will unless it makes the
demand and backs it up For years
the upper peninsula has been giving
the ticket from 1000 to 10000 ma

this may be needed. " ~
According to the friends Of the

A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.

! The Detroit Free Press pays Rail
road Commissioner Osborn this fiat
tering compliment on his official
work, and the value of the report
covering it for the first year of his
incumbency of the office:
y RAILROAD Commissioner Osborn
will be credited with having pre-
pared and submitted report fit for
a model to be patterned after by
other public officials who are re-
quired to render an annual account
of their stewardship. 1t is compre-
hensive, detailed, readily understood
and instructive.
The showing made is no less graf
flying than the manner in which it
is presented. Despite her special
advantages because of unsurpassed
water facilities, Michigan has rail
road mileage equal to one nineteenth
Of the entire country, and shows to
advantage in all the comparisons
made by the commissioner. These
lines are built in response to com
mercial demand and have every
right to expect increased prosperity
with the development OF the state,
They are doing all the business they
can handle and would do more had
they the rolling stock to accommodate
the freight offered.
Their prosperity is being shared
by their employees through increased
wages, and is also the irresistible
evidence of general prosperity
among the people. Another hope
ful sign appears in the commission
e.'s assurance that the tendency OF
few roads to the assertion of a
commercial absolutism has been
overcome and that the difficulty of
adjusting differences between them
and their patrons has been greatly
simplified because of the more
amicable spirit in which the prob
lem is approached.
In the matter of public protection
the commissioner has shown the ag-
gressive activity that has long been
demanded by the situation. Within
his authority he has done all pos
sible TO hasten the reforms 10 which
public sentiment has committed its
faithful Representatives, He is for
the separation of grade crossings
with the least possible delay and
against the building of any more
railway lines, no matter by what
motive power they are operated,
, that do not cross all intersecting
lines at separate grades.
Ddigent effort is being made to
minimize the danger attendant upon
| defective construction at all cross
! ingS will soon be remedied. Rec
ommendation as to the police regula-
tion of electric roads, under state
laws, is a subject for careful legis-
lative consideration, the necessity of
| authoritative intervention, in di-
rections indicated by the counts
sioner, being apparent.
IT. is refreshing Co hear from a
public official who has his business
SO well in hand and who so clearly
manifests his disposition to comply
with the wishes of those whose in
terests are intrusted 10 him. :"
