the intrenched ridge. Their fire was
heavy, but the Spanish fire, backed by
artillery, was a deadly one, and here

mounted on other mules, drove them
forward. The Americans cheered. but
the sharp-eyed Spaniards only saw the
newcomers, and at once realized on

three guns on the hill was directed in-

were at once crazed by the shell and
shrapnel which screamed at them,

independent meat packers were unable
to compete with the big packers who
are large owners of cars.
General Freight Agent Brooks of the

under contract with Armour, Swift and
other packers to perpetuate the pres
ent rates for seven years the packers
agreeing to furnish twenty tc forty cars
week each.

Such plan has been heretofore passed
