I'VE do not believe Washington has

feel that Washington has always been
treated very equitably as far as our
company is concerned
The arrangement OF through cars
from Washington to various points Is all
laid out by our rules In regard 10 this
matter. and the establishment Of
through service is based largely on the
amount of traffic for any and each des-
tination. We should be only too glad TO
extend the through car arrangement
wherever the tonnage Offering seems TO
justify such an arrangement compatible
with our facilities.
The car service regulations in effect
at Washington are the rules OF the Bal

T. Green. freight traffic manager Of the
Southern railway. said:
while the Southern railway does. not
handle freight traffic TO and from Wash
ington in its own trains Qts terminus
being Alexandria, va, and is dependent
upon the Washington Southern railway
as connection for such freight traffic.
1t will most heartily cooperate in the
movement to extend Washington's Job
bing trade IN the territory which it
serves.
Il do not know of any special priv
neges granted shippers in philadelphia.
Baltimore, Norfolk, Richmond OF other
nearby cities 70 WashlngtOns 5 disadvan-
tage. l may add that it is my belief that
the carriers serving Washington will
cheerfuly do, in its interest, quite as
much as they have done OF NAV do in
the interest OF other cities under similar
conditions.
Glad to Increase Cars.
$50 far as the Southern railway Is
concerned. il now operates package cars
from Washington TO the extent that the
volume OF traffic justihes 1t in so doing.
We viii be glad to increase the number
OF such cars when increased volume OF
traffic warrants. We now operate a
points north 10 the South on carload
traffic, Of which service Washington is
at liberty TO take advantage.
1T is not my understanding that regI-
lations at Washington. with respect to
demurrage payments, differ from cor
responding regulations in other cities,
bat, as heretofore stated, the Southern
railway has no freight terminals Of its
own iR Washington.
IT there were necessity for the es-
tablishment Of new through all-rail
routes from Washington to the South,
we would be very glad 10 join in a
movement 10 that end. There is how
ever, absolutely no necessity for any
additional all-Tail routes from Washing
ton in connection with our line, which is
a part Of the Eastern and Southern Des-
patch, operating in connection with the
Pennsylvania railroad, and the Pied
mont Despatch. operating In connection
with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
both of which despatch lines operate an
all-rail route through Alexandria from
Washington and points North TO the
South.

vantage with respect 10 all-rail traffici

The fight was at close quarters with

Before the Pulajanes could cross the

shot from the magazines. followed by
q steady FIRE from the constabulary-
The colored troops separated and the
constabulary in column OF twos went
forward and deplOyed for the charge
Their slaughter Of the leaders had the
desired effect, and the PUlajanes turned
and fed in wild disorder. The action
was quick and sharp. and so deadly was
the IRE from the men OF the twenty
fourth that the slain and wounded We're
piled together IN the tran.
Although the Pulajanes kept up des-
ultOrv fire from the brush while the ad-
yancing boiomen rushed the troops,
there was not a loss among the troops.
A sergeant OF constabulary, who was in
the advance guard IN an exposed posi-
ton. was slightly wounded IN the ex-
change Of she's.
After the action the troops moved for
ward continuously until high ground
was reached ard then made prepara-
tions TO repulse an attack. fearing that
the Pulajanes would return in better or
der with re endorsements during the
night.

BUYERS WANT CATTLE.
Harket Takes q General Upward
Tendency. Well Fl finished Steers
Selling up to 4.6S.

Denver Union Stock Yards, August
13-There has been decided improve
ment in the cattle market during the
past week. This is due to the fact that
the movement has been light and
second. the quality much better. Buy
ers are needing cattle now and the
slump week before last has been more
than taken up by the advance. Well
finished grass steers are selling as high
as 81. 65, with the average kinds bring
ing 50. rs to $4.25. The COW market is
strong and choice well finished cows
will bring 1925 to $3.50. While there
has been practically nothing doing in
feeder cattle, there is a much better
demand and the undertone is strong.
Good feeders will sell around $3.75 to
s425 for the choice dehorned kinds in
good flesh. Light weight cattle of good
quality will bring around rs to $3.I5.
The dsmand d good and the outlook Is
fer an active market from now on.
Everything continues favorable for a
big corn crop and with lighter export
demand the trade anticipates lower
prices this fall. This will mean better
prices for feeder cattle. The outlook
on the whole is very bright. Buyers
here are loaded with orders and the
market is in shape to take everything
that comes from now on. The only
class Of cattle that is not in demand
are the Gamer kinds. These are not
wanted anywhere and it takes low
prices to force sale.

leaves three children ranging in age
from baby less than two years old to
the Oldest child, which is eleven. We

them until homes can be found. Tele-

Death Of Rev. Grim's Child

Death entered the NJ. E. parsonage
Tuesday morning and took away the
four year old daughter of Rev. and Mrs.
W. s. Grim. The little girl had been
i'll for two weeks with cholera infantum
and while everything that loving hands
and skilled medical attendance could do
was done to save the child's life, it
proved Of no avail. Funeral services
were held at the home Wednesday after
noon, conducted by DR.. barley and the
body was shipped on the evening train
to Portland, Oregon for burial. Rev.
and Mrs. Grim accompanied the re-
mains and while these good people have
been residents of Delta for not more
than two months they are assured Of
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community In their sad bereavement.
The taking away Of loved ones in their
tender youth is one Of the most trying
experiences Of life.
