Des Moines. Iowa, March 1O.-The State Rail-
road Commission, after investigation OF COM
plants by the Corn Belt Meat Producers Asso-
citation. announced last night that so soon as
schedules can he prepared It Will promuIgate
new rates OF freight cattle for distances Of
from fifty TO three hundred miles. The rates
will be about Is per cent lower than the present
ones. The commission does not think that
difference Of 2312 per cent IN favor Of Illinois
is fair
In its statement the commission says that
present cattle rates. which have been IN effect
for seventeen years. were fair when they were
established. but should be reduced now. It says
that rail transportation costs more for live
stock than for almost any other commodity. and
that expenses OF operating railroads have largely
increased Despite these facts, however. the
Commission found that there was too great a
difference between livestock rates In Iowa and
Illinois. Assuming that in justice 20 the roads
Iowa rates should be slightly higher than those
OF Illinois. the commission thinks the differences
in rates between the two states is too great

furnish all the water the company
would use. 1t is now said there Is
plenty of 1T but it is salt water, and it
is not suitable for engines.
Another rumor is that man named
Cole has made the statement that the
Union Pacific is going to take up the
track between Colby and Oakley and
build it direct from Sharon Springs to
Colby.
A good many are asking who this
man Cole is. Roadmaster Ball, whose
headquarters are in Oakley, and whose
DIVISION IS from Ellis to cheyenne

the Union Pacific as extra gang fore
man he is not now in the service of
the company, having been discharged.
