spreads out on each side into a score

II will be seen that in all these
cases Washington has a distinct ad-
vantage over Boston and New York.
Boston rates apply on this bust
ness likewise at Providence and
generally in southern New England,
just as New York's rate includes
Philadelphia and many other points
in the same territory.
The great territory tributary to
Washington IS in the beginning Of
an era of tremendous development
AS that development progresses

aellent authority, moreover, for say
ing that in the territory where rate
adjustments are manifestly inequit-
able at present, there is little doubt
that proper representation in the
right official quarters would secure
changes. If necessary, indeed. there
is a new and newly effective inter
state commerce law, and a commits
sion to enforce 1t.
Railroad Officials Friendly,
But appeal beyond the officials of
the railroad systems would prob
ably be unnecessary. They are
friendly TO Washington; they enjoy
an immense traffic here; they know
the attractions Washington offers

"@HAT Washington is in posi-
ton 10 do business with
cities and towns in every
surrounding State is am
ply demonstrated by the
freight rates to and from these
points and this city. There is no
reason in freight rates why Wash
Ington's jobbing business should not
expand indefinitely True, there
are some inequalities, but on the
whole the situation is highly favor
able.
In the matter of favorable freight
rates to points within Washington g
territory, the city's only competitor
is Baltimore. New York and Bos-
ton are far outdistanced. so far as
rates are concerned. In many
cases the city has a distinct advan-
tage over Baltimore. AS Baltimore
IS one Of the most favored cities in
the country, from the rate stand
point. this means a great deal.
In WashiugtOn's Favor

The figures show how easy IT will
be for Washington 10 secure this
trade as against Baltimore; while
as against any other jobbing point

still larger. The towns named are

switch engines that would he need
ed otherwise is divided by ten.
The yards are expected to do
much toward the consummahon of
the Greater Washington. They af-
ford the facilities, ana it remains for
the business men of the city to pro-
vide the freight, That it will be
provided passes question or the sem
blance of a doubt, for the city has
awakened to its rightful destiny.
Twenty thousand cars a day means
the freight business of a great !eO-
pie. That the city at whose doors
the transfer of these cars, from one
section to another, is effected,
should do less than its fair share OF
the business they represent is not
to be believed.

ILwAukEE's TRAIN SERVICE
Thirteen Special Trains Will be Run
Into Mitchell During Corn
Palace Week.

The Chicago, Milwaukee Il ST.
Paul railroad has granted a most ex-
cellent special train service for the
benefit OF the people during the corn
palace week in Mitchell. and the
company will run thirteen special
trains into the city from different
directions during the week, covering
practically all branches of the road.
The success OF the excursion trains
last vear Indicated to the Milwaukee
people that South Dakota citizens
are anxious to come to Michell's
corn palace ap1 they propose to
give them the opportunity.
The first excursion train will be
run on Sept. % from Platte and
Armour and intermediate points.
Another train will be u from
Egan via Canton on Sept. 26 aud %.
The people f1om the north part Of
the state will be given a special train
on Sept. %. which leaves Evarts,
coming via Aberdeen.
A special train will be run from
Bristol, coming to Mitchell via Mad
| iSon and Woonsocket on sept. % and
80.
Three trains have been scheduled
over the Sioux City and Dakota d.
vision coming up from Sioux City via
Yankton on Sept. 26, 81, 2s, and will
give the people in the southern part
OF the state a splendid opportunity
to come to the corn palace.
Two TRAINS will be run from San
born, Iowa. coming via Canton, on
Sept. 25 and 2s.
The people on the eastern border
will be accommodated with a spe-
cial train starting at Elandreau,
looming via Madison and Woonsocket
on Sept. 81.
On the last dav Of the corn palace
a special train will be run from
Sioux City. via Canton, Sept. %.
1t is very likely that other trains
will be added before the corn palace
opens.
No special trains will be run from
the west, as the regular trains reach
the city in plenty OF time for the
palace. Trains for Chamberlain viii,
leave Mitchell each day Of the palace
week at 4:20 p. ~, and will give
people abundant time to attend the
afternoon concert and get home the
same evening.
Low rates have been granted by
both the Milwaukee and Omaha
roads and for the week the rate will
he one fare for the round trip.

From 1870 to 1872 he was the chief

plan into execution and for a number
of years operated the line personally
