SMALL TRAVEL EXPECTED.

The railroads travcrsing the south
west are not expecting as large an
amount Of travel to the old states this
season in comparison with last year
The number of Inquiries that are being
received are not as many so state the
railroad agents Tho cause Of the
falling off in prospective business Is
attributed to two causes, one the fact
that the cotton yield was not as large
and another, a large per cent of the
people throughout the southwest have
become settled and have families OF
-tcir own, and the old folks back in
the old states do not expect TO see
John home every Christmas as when
he was single
Last year the travel back to the ola
home was exceptionally good. as crops

crop this year sold at good prices, but

money market, and tho settling DOWN
Of a great many OF tho young men
who have come to the new state in
