SUMMERS CONVENTION RATES.
TranscontinentaI Lines Finally Agree
ON a Schedule.

Chicago, Jan 2O.-After a session
of three days the representatives of
the passenger departments of the
transcontinental lines have decided
upon reduced rates for many import
ant gatherings to be held during the
coming summer. The coast lines,
however, refused to grant equally low
rates for events in the middle west as
are granted for conventions in the
far west. The conventions were
placed in two groups, those on the
coast to be granted a rate of S62.50
from the middle west, and those to
be held in the middle west and south,
to be granted a rate of $72.50 from
the coast. The only exception to this
is the Grand Army reunion, for which
a rate of 1 cent a mile was made, ex-
cept within a radius of about $50
miles from the coast cities, where the
rate will be one fare for the round
trip.
The conventions carrying the lower
rates are: Mystic Shrine, at Los An
geles, May to 10; Baptist conven-
ton, September p; Young Peoples
Society of Christian Endeavor; all on
the coast. Those taking the higher
rate are: Federated Women's clubs,
St. Paul. May 30; general assembly
Presbyterian church, Des Moines, May
16; Knights of Columbus, New Haven,
June / American Medical association,
Boston, June 5; grand lodge of Elks,
Denver; odd Fellows Toronto. in Oc-
tober, and Knights of Pythias, New
Orleans, in September.

This Is What B. F. Yoakum Says of
the Southwest.

st. Louis. Jan. BOB. F. Yoakum,
chairman of the executive boards of
the Rock Island and Frisco systems,
was IN town yesterday en- route for a
tour of inspection over the SOUTH rn
lines of the Frisco. He is accompanied
on this trip by A. J. Davidson. presi-
dent of the Frisco. Asked VIII ether
officials of either system, Mr. Yoakum
replied in the negative.
Il am highly gratided," said Mr..
Yoakum, with the enthusiasm which
has been manifested over the new fast
mail service between St Louis and the
southwest. We feel confident that
tn csc facilities will bring st. Louis and
this territory close together; in a sense,
make them one. Natural conditions
are such that the closest relations
ought to exist.
1.-The train may not pay for some
time; we will be satisfied, in fact, if It
pays within a year. However. we are
sure that it will be indirectly bene-
fetal from the start, and viii inn
mensely benefit the territory which 1t
traverses. The interests of the road
are identical with those of the terri
tory. As fast as the country grows
and improves, the road will steadily
do better.
and Frisco depend upon the progress
of the southwest And we feel con
fidence in the greater prosperity of the
system because of the wonderful pros
poets of the southwest. The resources
of the southwest are diversified and
marvellous, and the people of the
southwest are energetic. Therefore,
we look ahead to the highest agricul-
tural, industrial and commercial
achievement -

in the savings department, withdrew
their money and there was talk that
run had started on the bank. It was
two days before people could under

joking.
Confidence was restored at once

money could be gotten and most Of the
