The country merchants are complain ing bitterly because the mail order houses are harming their business. Now how did the mail order houses get that busi- ness? They got it by advertiseing lib orally. Don'tif ever occur to the country merchant that a good way to retain his business would be to adopt the same tactics that the mail order competitor uses, i. e., advertising? The mer- chant who lets the public know that he can furnish the same goods carried by Shears and Sawbuck, or some other out of-town firm, rarely complains about mail order competition.

THE RATES ARE REDUCED
But NOT VERY LARGELY

The Denver and Rio Grande Rail
road company has reduced the freight
rates between Denver and stations in
Colorado and between Pueblo and
Colorado stations on the Denver q
Rio Grande.
The amendment sheets making
changes in the local freight tariff No.
9=B and No. ia were mailed out
Sunday and the changes are effective
today.
However. the reductions are not
very great. the reduction in any case
not exceeding ten cents on the hun
dred pounds and the majority of the
reductions amounting to only five
cents on the hundred. between Den
yer or Pueblo and Grand Junction
and intermediate points
However. little fayors are gladly
received and there is a chance that
they will lead to something better.
The following is a classification
of the new and the old rates between
Denver or Pueblo and Grand juno
ton, showing the reductions:
The daily sentinel., 1906-03-12

The western classification arranges
articles of merchandise into five
classes that are numbered and five
that are lettered. In the first num-
bered class come the dry goods, some
furniture, chinaware, glass, hats caps
etc. The second class takes in
queensware. earthenware and like
articles. In the third class are table
sauces. food stuffs, etc. The fourth
class takes in canned goods. After
that the classification are by car load
lots In addition there are special
commodity rates based ON shipments
of various quantities. Flour and
grain have a special rate. In the
new arrangement lumber to Lead
Vile is reduced . cents, but is not
changed 10 other points.
The following is taken from Sun
days Republican:
THE agitation of George Kindei
nor anyone else had nothing what
ever to do with causing the Denver
e Rio Grande and the Colorado Mid
land railroads to reduce freight rates
to the western slope, declared II
c. Bush, traffic manager of the Colo
RADIO Midland yesterday. There was
no demand for II from any quarter.
IT was done after long consultation
and agreements reached from study
ing the situation. Contrary to gen
eral belief IT is the policy of railroads
to give the shippers the benefit of
as low rates as possible when they
can. The western country has been
growing rapidly and we want to see
it fill up with people 1t is ton
mage that the roads want We see
our way clear to readjusting the rates
and we expect our earnings TO be as
large as formerly"
The new rates are effective begin
ming tomorrow, and il is presumed
that the western slope merchants
viii Immediately begin stocking up
more heavily. The rates apply TO the
larger towns all along the routes
from Leadville to Grand Junction and
also into Aspen and other points
The rumor given publication last
week in the Denver papers to the eff
feet that the reduction on certain
Classes of freight would be nearly
one-half of the old rate proved false,
unless further changes are coming up
soon.
Were forced 20 make a rate of so per
to be some connection between the
reduction by the two Colorado lines
and the recent ruling of the inter
state commerce commission in the
kindel cases. where in eastern lines
were forced to make rate of so
piece goods instead og SIPS from
the Missouri river.

GRAND JUNCTION MERCHANTS
DEAD EASY, SAYS KINDEI.

George J. Kindel, he who has at
tracted so much atteneian in his fight
for better freight rates for Colorado
points and who has accomplished
much along this line. had another in
teresting diagram in the Denver Re
publican of Saturday showing freight
rate discrimination.
Commenting on the reduction
made recently in colorado by the rail-
roads to the freight rate from $l.55
TO Sl.45, between Denver aud Grand
junction, Mr.. Kindel stated that SINH
lar reductions would be made by the
same roads before the present agita-
ton for better rates ceases.

Eastern feeders are again chief oper-
ators in the trade, and they have taken
the biggest portion of the supplies this

more willing disposition to pay the

reluctance to trade freely.
Good 500 to 900-lb steers have sold

something strictly choice in the feeder
