FoR RETURN PASSES.
stockmen Meet Railroad OFFICERS to
Discuss the Subject.

Discuss the Subject.
A meeting vas held at Chicago yes
terday which vas of interest to every
livestock shipper in the west. The par
ties to the gathering were stockmen
and railroad officials and the conven-
ton was the result of an agreement
made some weeks ago. In behalf OF
the roads the traffic managers of the
companies in the Trans-Missouri
Freight association we're present, while
the other side was represented by a
committee appointed by F. j. Hagen
ibarth, president of the National Live
stock association. The matter that
was discussed was that OF return
passes for shippers who go to market
with their cattle. &
1t will be recalled that at the be-
ginning of the present year an order
was made by the railroads denying
return passes to shippers. The rules
of the companies require that ship
pers shall accompany their cattle to
market, and the stockmen say that
the roads are morally bound to carry
them home free.
The committee representing the
shippers was composed of Monte B.
Gwinn of Idaho, Murdo Mckenzie of
Colorado and r. N. Allen of Nebraska.
The traffic managers OF some of the
western roads not entering Chicago
signiied their intention to be present
at the conference, and it vas expect
ed that those of all the Chicago roads
would attend. ".'
1t was a friendly gathering and
was held at the instance of the stock
men. The latter said they were OF
the belief that if the two interests
could get together and talk the mat
ter over a better understanding would
be arrived at. They felt confident
that because of the strength of the
arguments they could bring to bear
the companies would rescind the Of
fensive order of no return passes.

PENDLETON PUT
UP GUARANTEE
Merchants Stand Good for the
Special Train.
0. R. l. n. IS NOT DISCRIMINATING
Officials Claim That Walia WalIa Will

Oregon Town.
0. R. l. n. IS NOT DISCRIMINATING

AS result of the agitation among
the Walla Walla merchants over the
proposed establishment of the special
train between Walla Walla and Pen
dIeton, Harry H. Turner president of
the Walla Walla Commercial club last
night addressed a letter to the officials
company. protesting against the train
granted to the Pendleton merchants.
The letter was forwarded to Port
land last night by General Agent Rob-
ert Burns and this afternoon Mr..
Burns received a telegram from A. L.
Craig, the general passenger agent of
the company, in which he says:
Your letter of the 18th regarding
the excursion train to PendletOn was
received. We are running this train
on the same basis that we run eXcur-
sion trains from time to time In either
direction between Pendleton and Walla
Walla and have a guarantee that the
earnings will not be less than $3.50.
Any time that Walla Walla wants a
similar train in the opposite direction
between the same train points we will
be glad to run it on the same basis.
either place, but of course we cannot
refuse to perform the service when the
earnings. We would not make this
permanent proposition. as your peo-
pie seem to understand, on account of
the effect it would have on their bust
ness
In speaking of the subject this af-
ternoOn Mr.. Burns said:
The people of Pendleton have been
working for a long time to get better
service between the other towns of
Umatilla county and in order to get
the special that will be run tomorrow
the Commercial club of that city had
to guarantee the O. r. q y. the sum
of $3.50 before the company would
undertake to give them the service
they asked for. 1t is true that owing
to the vast amount of freight business
that is handled by the mixed train be-
tween Walla Walla and Pendleton a
delay is OccaSiOned i'm the train reach
ing PendletOn in time for the people
along the line to transact their bust
ness in the courts and get back the
same night, and it is that fact which
caused the PendletOn people to ask
for the establishment of the special
train. Our company would be glad at
any time to give the Walla Walla peo-
pie a train from Pendleton on the
same basis. The o. r. & n would
have no object in discriminating
against Walla Walla, and believe that
when the merchants of this city fully
understand the proposition. they will
see that the O. r. & n. is not en-
deavOring to divert any trade from

The Tomato.

The tomato has curious history.
After the revolution of Santo Dom
lingo many French families came from
there to Philadelphia, where they in
troduced their favorite ''pomme
d'amour." Although introduced from
South America as early as 1896 into
England, it was looked upon with sus-
picion and its specific name, lycopersi
cum, derived from lykos (wolf) and
persikon Ia peach), referring to the
beautiful but deceptive appearance OF
its fruit, intimates pretty closely the
kind of estimation In which it wa:
held. 1t is now, however, almost uni
versally used
