RED TAPE TIES UP $3.50.
Requires Authority From Thirty
Ro.ds to Get 1t.

Officials of about thirty-fvc railroads
operating in the territory west Of Chi
cago who have been called to meet in
that city will be asked to adopt a resolu
ton authorizing Chairman Mcleod, of
the Western Passenger association, to
sign a receipt to the United States gov
eminent for $3.50, being the amount OF
unused revenue stamps on hand in this
organization on Jan. l last.
The attempts to collect this small
amount have covered a period of nearly
three months and is a prime illustration
of governmental red tape on such mat
ters
When the war tax on bank checks was
abolished the first Of the year, Mr. Nc
Leod found that he had $3.50 worth of
unused stamps on hard. The stamps
were in the branch office of the associa-
ton in New York, where is located the
auxiliary organization that looks after
the immigrant business OF the Western
roads.
Washington asking for a refund on the
STAMPS. A reply stated that a refund
would be made upon proper application.
A formal demand was then made.
A second letter from the Washington
officials stated that before the stamps
would be taken back Mr.. Mcleod must
prove himself the authorized represent
ative Of the Western lines and the prop
er person to whom such refund should
be made. This was followed by a series
of letters back and forth, in which Mr..
Mcleod tried in every way possible to
convince the government officials that he
fMcLcod) had full authority to sign a
receipt for the refund.
Monday Mr.. Mcleod received a check
from the postal department for the
amount of the bill, but it was accom-
panied by . letter stating that the check
would not be paid until Mr.. Mcleod
showed specific and direct authority from
the officials Of the road he represents
10 sign for the money
To do this the question must come be-
fore the general passenger agents Of the
roads at a meeting Thursday and a
resolution empowering Mr.. Mcleod to
sign for the refund adopted.
a similar case has Just been settled
with the roads operating east from Chi
cago, members OF the Central Passenger
association. The amount in that case was
$1.l5.

coast and thence to their destinations
The situation at Mckenzie is much worse
today and it is not known when traffic
on the road can be resumed. Mail trains
are running as far west as Sterling.
A trainload of passengers returned mere
from Dawson were very much discouraged
after wait of thirty-siX hours there. A
report from Mckenzie states that an
operator and the section men are still in
the station, which is surrounded by lake
of water officials of Northern Pacific
arrived from st. Paul and with Supt Will
son are at the scene of the washout and
flood seeking some way to find an
outlet for the water and to repair the
track which has been badly damaged.
Ties have floated away and the
track is in bad shape. No attempt has
been made to transfer the passengers as
the track is inundated for miles in the
vicinity Of Mckenzie. The lake is of small
dimensions, usually known as a slough,
and the water from hills around has
flOweu in in great quantities. Ordinarily
the roadbed is high enough, but the great
fall Of snow and the rain following was
too much for it and it broke.
Cold weather is hoped for by the rail-
road men to stop the flow of water into
the lake and make it possible to make re-
pairs. A great amount of damage to the
railroad on Jamestown & Northern
branch and a washout near Leeds pre-
vents the trains reaching there. The
James river has been on the rampage for
the past two days, and considerable por-
ton of jamestown has been flooded.
Some damage has already been done to
property and should the river rise much
further it is feared that a number of
residences now surrounded will be dam

COMMISSION STEPS IN
AGENT EXAMINES RECORDS OF
THE RAILROAD COMPANIES.

1t is reported among railway circles
that an agent of the railroad commission
has been engaged for a day or so past in
examining the books and records in the
auditors departments of the different
roads with a view to ascertaining the
methods of computing gross earnings
An official of the Omaha road stated
yesterday that an elimination mad been
made but it was simply a matter of form.
e agent went over the books in a
superficial manner and went away an
parently satisfied that the method used is
a legal one.
O,"cials of the road say they are will
ing 10 have the agent go over the books
and will furnish him with any clerical
assistance that he may desire Inc inves-
ugation will not amount to anything but
1t is thought that is done simply to oh
tain access for the commission to the
records of the roads.
Under the law the railroad commission.
the state examiner and the state auditor
all have the authority to inspect the
records. although it has been some time
since the commissioners availed them
selves of the privilege.
