LEAGUE OF SHIPPERS
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION ORGAN
lied BY LOCAL MEN.
Allegation Made that the Car Service
in indianapolis Is Entirely
Inadequate.
LEAGUES PLANS OUTLINED
JAMES T. EAGLEsFIELD ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF ORGANIZATION.
Committee Within the League Will
Have Charge of All Car-Service
Matters Hereafter.
LEAGUES PLANS OUTLINED
JAMES T. EAGLESFIELD ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF ORGANIZATION.

The Shippers Protective League of Indi-
ana, to do away with car service evils and
10 force the railroad companies TO give
more just and adequate car service and to
protect shippers from paying for bad serv-
ice Cor rather, no service at alb, was or
ganized last night by a meeting of repre-
sentative shippers of Indianapolis at the
Commercial Club.
James t. Eaglesfield is president Of the
organization, A Z. Bradshaw is vice presi-
dent, C. r. Jones secretary and NJ. S.
Huey treasurer.
Identified with the organization as men,
bers of its board of directors are Oran
NJ Pruitt. J. A. Schumacher, N. F. Ow-
ings. Frank NJ. Dell. c. A. Schrader, E. w.
Bassett, F. M. Shaw. John George and
Edward O'Connor.
1t is the general feeling of the majority
of the men who were present at last
nights meeting, and who organized the
Shippers Protective League of Indiana,
that the shippers of this city are dealt
with unfairly by the railroads in car serv-
Ice matter and that the shippers are over
charged for poor service. Expressions of
disapproval at the manner in which the
railroads treat the shippers were made by
MI EaSleSneld Mr.. duey, MT. Prultt, MI.
Bassett and other men prominent in this
line of business. Mr.. Bell, who has been
identified all along with the movement
which has resulted in the shippers organ
izlng for protection against bad car service,
presided at the meeting. Mr.. Jones acted as
secretary.
BAD FOR BOTH.
One speaker said the leading car service
men of this country have told him that car
service as administered in this city is bad
for both shippers and railroads The car
service in Indianapolis has been growing
worse and worse for two or three years,
Ii was said, and has become so bad during
the last few months that some action must
be taken by the shippers, organized
body. to protect themselves from alleged
injustice of the railroads.
The plan Of operation by the Shippers
Protective League will be the organization
of a committee within the league to which
all car service questions, or difficulties be-
tween shippers and railroads, will be SUBJ
mitted- If the shippers do not get salts
factory treatment from the railroads in this
way, ii is the plan to go to the courts.
The perfecting of the organization and
the adoption Of the constitution and by
laws was the direct result of the adoption
by Mr. Eaglesfield, Mr. Bradshaw, Mr..
Dell, Jackson Landers, Mr.. Owings and
Herman Schulz. These men were appointed
committee at a meeting of shippers last
month TO draft resolution and get the
movement for the organization into tan
gible form.
The league will hold bi-monthly meetings
and special meetings when they are re-
Quested by five members. A quorum will
consist OF twenty-five members.

The rural mail service of Indiana will ul-

The Binder VS.. Header.

Hoisington, Kans., Sept.7, 1903.
BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRATS;
GENTLEMEN:-The best education
we can receive is from experience
and observation. Some of our farm
ers harvested their wheat with binders
but large majority harvested with
headers. I have had wheat harvested
in both ways. Every man as far as |
have talked with them agree with me
that wheat harvested with the binder
is yielding from four to-fve bushels
more to the acre than that har-
vested with the header. l drove
through a field of mine a few
days ago that was harvested with
header and l am sure there is four or
five bushels per acre laying on the
ground. l finished threshing few
days ago field of bound grain and
that on plowed land yielded from %
to 35 bushels per acre. l then began
on a field of headed wheat all on
plowed fand and as good as the other,
which is yielding only about Is blu.
per acre. The wheat in the shock
withstood the rainy weather much
better than the headed grain in the
stack AS far as have been able to
discover there is very little loss in the
bound grain, while from 10 per cent.
to 20 per cent. of the headed grain
rotted in the stack. All the reports
in the papers of magnificent yield are
from bound grain. When the returns
begin to come in from the headed
grain the yield will be far different.
This is an injustice to our farmers.
These big reports going east lead the
people to believe we have wheat to

QUICKLY WEARS AWAY

feed to the hogs. 1t is true we have,
for much of it is fit only for that pur-
pose. These big reports are errone-
Gus and have tendency to keep
down the price. If the true situation
were known in the great grain centers
in the east, we would be getting bet
ter prices. Some of your readers
will agree with me and perhaps some
will brand me as a pessimist. But I
know what 1 am talking about. I
presume 1 have more wheat crops to
look after than any man in Barton
county, and I do not 60 around with
my eyes shut. Yours Truly,
A. H. BAKER.

Tours In the Rocky rlountains

A mountain tourist in search of
grand and beautiful scenery finds an
embarrassment Of riches In Colorado
and Utah, but If the names OF the
Denver & Rio Grande and the Rio
Grande Western railroads are borne
in mind when planning trip there
Is little chance Of making a mistake
or meeting with disappointment.
This Is the only route having two
distinct lines through the Rocky
mountains, thus aflOrdlng the tourist
the advantage of going via one line
and returning via the other. In thl5
manner the trip from Denver, Colo
RADIO Springs or Pueblo to Grand

line through the Royal Gorge, Lead
