Dennis Flynn failed to make
connection with the Senatorial
committee while it was in Okla
homa investigating our claims
for Statehood. We are glad OF
this fact, for the Committe had a
better chance to. find out the
facts when there was no one with
them to prejudice their minds
against us. We can now look
forward for report from the
committee that we are entitled to
statehood at once.

COMPLAINT
Heard Before State Com
merce Commission.
Claim That Midland and Other
Western Roads Discriminate
in Favor of Eastern Cities
on Freight Rates.

Leadville, Colo, June 5-The re-
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion is awaited with great interest by
merchants and jobbers throughout the
entire trans Mississippi country. The
the Leadville Board of Trade against
the Colorado Midland and large
number of other western roads The
complaint sets forth that the railroads
charge as high rates on freight from
all points in the east, including Chi
cago, st. Louis and Missouri river
points, to Colorado poinst as they do
on through business to the Pacific
coast. Complaints of the same nature
have been made frequently during the
last four years, not only by the mer-
chants and jobbers at Colorado points
but by those of Chicago and Missouri
river points They contend that they
are entitled to lower rates to the Pa
cific coast than are made from New
York and other seaboard points, and
that the discrimination helps the New
York merchants and manufacturers
and crowds western interests out of
the California market.
The water competition from New
York to California points is said to
be responsible for this condition of
affairs 1t is claimed that the Sunset
route and the Pacific Mail Steamship
companies, both of which are owned
by the Southern Pacific, can make
rates through to California which the
direct overland lines could not meet
if they We're compelled to make cor
respondingly low rates to all inter
mediate points.

Reports from all points on the
Brazos river late yesterday after.

hopefully Of the cotton. which he
said was standing the food well.
AT I. r. Bates place in the lower
