WANT SWITCH
TRACK ON A
BACK STREET
Illinois Central Wants Levee
Tracks for Passenger Trains
PETITION CIRCULATED
AMONG PROPERTY HOLDERS YES
TERDAY - PLAN TO RUN
TRACK DOWN RAILROAD
STREET.

Owners of property abutting Rail
road street between Fourteenth and I
Second streets were yesterday asked |
to sign a petition, asking the city
council TO allow the Illinois Central
to run a switch track down Railroad
street.
The petition was circulated by
Agent j. D, Ladd, of the Illinois Cen
trail and Superintendent Ewing OF the
Cairo and st. Louis division.
II they are successful in securing
majority of the property owners TO
sign the petition and the council act
favorably upon it, a track will be laid
at once at cost of about So 900 from
Fourteenth TO Second streets, and will
be used for local freight purposes
instead OF the track on Ohio street.
| All of the loading and unloading of car
load lots of freight will then be done
At the rear of the wholesale houses
instead of in front Of them,
Mr.. Ewing yesterday stated tnat the
chief object in securing a9switch track
On Railroad street was TO give the
| Illinois Central a clear double track
from the Central Union passenger sta.
ton TO the Big Four crossing which
would greatly fac litate the passenger
service of the road. IF we are sue
,essful in getting the track on Rail
road street, it Is more than likely
hat some of the fast trains, which
low come only to the junction, would
come into Cairo, if the company KNOWS
that they will not be delayed after
hey are here, owing to the single
rack on the levee," said MIR. Ewing
Mr.. Laid, told the Bulletin that
heir passenger service was badly
crippled and that many trains We're de-
aged in Cairo, owing to the fact that
! hey were forced to wait at the station
, while other trains were on the track
II is limited that unless the switch
rack is placed on Railroad street, i
nay become necessary to keep The
| ohio tsreet tracks clear and do load
| ne and unloading OF the freight cars
rom the Fourteenth street yards
hus putt ng the shippers and con
iignees at great expense and incon
renience.
The proposition TO run switch
rack from Fourteenth street t.
eighth has been up twice before AMI

Several parties have made obiec

Keep your blood clean as you keep your
body clean. You don't wait until your
body. is foul before you cleanse it.
1t is a matter of surprise that many peo-
pie who are SO careful to have clean bodies
make no effort to keep the blood clean.
Everyone knows that uncleanness breeds
disease; that those who do not keep their
bodies in a wholesome condition and who
dwell in filthy surroundings are the FIRST to
fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps
the country. But foul blood is more dan
gerous to the individual than a foul body.
An unclean body is rather a passive than
an active hindrance to health. But unclean
blood is an active threat against the very
ife-it makes the body a prepared breed
ing place for disease.
It is part Of Natures plan for human
safety that in many cases where the blood
is impure or corrupt she sets a sign on the
body in proof of the corrupt current that Is
flowing through the veins. Scrofula with
its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with
its irritation, salt-rheuni, letter, erysipelas,
the outward signs of the itnpurity of the
blood. But often in the earlier or simples
stages Of the blood's impurity there are nc
outward signs of this condition; only dull,
languid, sluggish feelings, which are com.
monty attributed solely to the sluggishness
OF the liver.
OF all preparations for purifying the
blood DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov.
cry easily takes the FIRST place. It elimin.
ates from the blood the elements whicl
clog and corrupt it, and which breed and
feed disease. It acts directly on the blood
making. glands, increasing their activity,
blood which is the life Of the body.

The Highest Mountain.

\ question often asked and which
has occupied the attention Of scientists
for several years appears to have been
settled by the report sent to Washing
ton by Professor Alexander McAdie,
head of the weather bureau service at
Portland, that Mt. Whitney, stu ated
in California, is the highest peak in
the United States. Hitherto this dis
tinction has been claimed for Mt. Ra.
nier, in the state of Washington, bu,
Professor McAdie says accurate Off.
cial measurements show Mt. Whitney
to be l4,502 feet above the level OF the
sea, and Mt. Rainier 14,394.
Another interesting feature Of the
report Of Professor McAdie is tina,
dismissing the designation "Tacoma''
for "Rainier." 1t is claimed a book
has been found, written by Vancouver
the explorer, soon after his visit te
the north Pacific in 1892, in which h,
refers to Mt. Rainier, the name beint
given 10 honor OF an admiral of tn
British navy who was a friend OF his

CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS.

The conviction and punishment of
four officials of q Chicago packing
firm, who confessed they had received
rebates from railroad companies, is an
incident that will strengthen the popu-
lar belief that government regulation
of freight rates Is necessary. 1t Is
announced that the federal authorities
will also prosecute the railroads which
made these unlawful determinations,
and as the parties who received the
benefit confessed that the rebates had
been paid to them, it will be difficult
for the railroads to prove their limo.
cence in the trans action.
Another instance Of peculiar mani.
pulation of railroad rates for the ben
eft of q favored shipper is the subject
OF these remarks by the Minneapolis
Journal:
The stereotyped answer OF the ship
pers' demand for government supervi.
sion of the railroads and the exercise
of the rate making power is that dis.
elimination in rates no longer exists;
that the Elkins law has put q stop ia
all that sort of thing; that every ship.

no occasion for extension of the powe,
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1905-09-27

OF the interstate commerce commission
10 any direction.
The trouble with that answer is that
it is not accepted by the general pub
lie. The public does not believe that
discrimination has been stopped and
they are not likely to believe it while
instances continue to come out wherein
rank discrimination is p%racticed.
The latest exhibition of this abuse
On the part of the railroads was de.
veloped by an inquiry recently held
by the interstate commerce commission
on a complaint from the independent
oil companies in the southwest. These
companies charged that the Illinois
Central and Louisville Il Nashville
railroads were discriminating outra.
geously in favor of the Standard Oil
company. The evidence shows that
the following rates per 100 pounds
we're charged:
NORTHBOCND.
New Orleans to Chicago. 80. IL cents
New Orleans to Cincinna att . 80 cents
New Orleans to St. Louis. ....35 cents
sOCTHBOCND.
Chicago to New Orleans. .23 cents
Cincinnati to New Orleans. % cents
st. Louis to New Orleans. Is cents
From these rates it appears that oil
shipped under exactly the same O
ditions paid nearly twice as much for
freight when north. bound as when
shipped south.bound over exactly the
same distance.
Here was a discrimin alton Of the
rankest kind in favor of the Stand ard
Oil company. A very interesting feat
ure of this Ease was that the railroads
did not even deny the charge or seek
to explain it. OF course, they could
do neither. They had simply to &C.
knowledge that they had been caught,
as the current phrase goes, with the
goods on them and they Immediately
established the same rate for oil going
north that they had been charging for
oil going south.
In the face of such facts as these is
it any wonder that the public refuses
to accept the representations of the
railroad companies that all shippers
are treated fairly, and that there i, no
justification for the demand that the
government shall have further super
visory power over the transportation
h~nsinpsS.
