chewers and pounds of tobacco
chewed, to the population, in those
States where SCHNAPPS tobacco
was first sold than there IRE in the
States where SCHNAPPS has not
yet been offered to the trade.
SCHNAPPS is like a cup Of fine
Java coffee, sweetened just enough
to bring out its natural, stimulating
qualities. SCHNAPPS pleases all
classes of chewers: the rich, be-
cause they do not find a chew that
really pleases them better at any
price; the poor, because it is more
economical than the large 10c. or
15c. plugs and they get their mon
ey's worth of the real snappy, Slim
ulating flavor so appreciated by to-
bacco lovers. Al limitations con-
tain much more swectening than

way to hide poor tobacco improp-

PUBLISHED RATES EFFECTIVE.
As Much So as Congressional Laws,
Saws Commission


In a case decided recently nv the
Interstate Commerce commission the
commission lays down some rules gov
erning railroad transportation rates
which are of decided interest at this
moment, in view of the penalty imposed
upon the Standard Oil company for the
failure of the carrier which transported
its Oil to. post freight rates in a proper
manner. The commission says that the
published rate governing transporta-
ton between two given points, so long
as it remains uncanceled, is as fixed
and unalterable, either by the shipper
or by the carrier, as if that particular
rate had been established by a special
act of Congress. When regularly pub
liShed, it is no longer the rate imposed
by the carrier, but the rate imposed by
the law. Regardless of the rate quoted
or inserted in a bill of lading the pub
lished rate must be paid by the shipper
and actually collected by the carrier
The failure on the part of the shipper
to pay, or of the carrier to collect the
full freight charges, based upon the
lawfully published rate for the particu-
lar movement between two given points
constitutes a breach of the law and will
subject either one or the other and
sometimes both, to its penalties Not
even a court, the commission asserts
may interfere with a published rate or
authorize departure from it when it
has voluntarily been established by the
carrier.
On another point the commission says
that if a carrier, contrary to shippers
instructions, forwards cars by a more
expensive instead of a cheaper route or
without any instructions, sends the cars
by the more expensive route, such ac-
ton is prima facie without justifica ton
and constitutes a fair basis for repara-
ton. But if the shipper gives definite
instructions to move the cars by the
more expensive route the carrier is re-
lieved of the obligation to forward by
the cheaper route

pounds, exclusive of the equipment.
The weighing has been conducted IN

whether or not some kinds of mail have
not been going too cheaply or others at
too high a rate. 1t will be continued up
to the first of the year.

TRAFFIC HAS BEEN INCREASED
Attorney General Hadley Cites Re
suits of Two Cent Fare.

st. Louis, Mo.-Attorney General
Hadley, who was in st. Louis yester-
day, said that he has trustworthy in
formation that the traffic of the rail-
roads has increased $4,000 a day at
Kansas City with a maximum fare of
2 cents a mile, instead of 8 cents. The
passenger movement at union station.
at St. Louis, is practically the same
this year as it was in 1904, when the
Worlds Fair was in progress.
Reliable statistics as to the passen-
ger business throughout the state are
not vet available. Several of the large
lines have unusually heavy traffic at
st. Louis and Kansas City, as well as
at other cities; whereas other roads
report a decrease in business, as COM
pared to last year.
In July and August the interstate
traffic has been enormous, and this
should, according to the opinion of
traffic men, affect the travel within
the state. The heaviest movement
out of ST. Louis has been to eastern
and northern points, much to the sur
prise of the passenger officials of
western lines. The special rates to
eastern points, with discretionary
routes, have proved to be attractive.
Local Traffic.
So far as can be learned, most Of
the Missouri roads are doing an I'M
usually large business in the local SER
vice. The travel between stations in
the country districts is said to be com
paratively great. The movement out
of st. Louis to nearby resorts, to dis
lance of about $50 miles, is heavy on
Sundays and holidays, notwithstand-
ing that special rates have been with
drawn.
1--WE are doing a larger business
than ever on local lines.'' said the
chief executive of one of the most i'm
portant roads yesterday. However.
we are losing money. 1t is costing US
more to handle the traffic, and. as a
consequence, our earnings are less.
Several vital features have been
overlooked in this connection. With
heavier traffic, the risk is greater and
the expense is larger. 1t costs more to
maintain equipment Although the
traffic has increased on our local lines,
we are operating these trains at a loss.
IT is nv conviction that the Missouri
lines will lose money with a 2-cent

TO BUILD no PACIFIC.
Northwestern Believed to Be Aiming
in That Direction

A railroad man who has been in
terested in some Wyoming enterprises
recently, and who has been watching
the movements of railway men who
nave charge of big western systems.
says he has become convinced that
both the Burlington and the North
western would have been engaged in
Dig Dulldlng operations at this time in
wyoming if money had been more
plentiful. He looks for building to
east gets easier. He is firmly con-
WINGED that the Northwestern will
reach the Pacific coast within the next
hve or six years if prosperity con-
tlnues and money can be secured
more readily within the next year or
two.
He says: 1.-THE Northwestern has
gridironed central Wyoming with sur
veys, and nearly all of these surveys
have pointed to the westward, in that
part of the country it is difficult to Sc
cure good grades, and the Northwest
ern, building in the direction it is
has run up against a long line of
stone walls to climb. 1t is blocked on
construction; beyond Lander it is i'm
possible to get over the hills with a
reasonable grade, and in other direc-
lions where it might desire to run,
building will be costly. The best sur
vey the northwestern has to the west
1.-THE Union Pacific is expected to
get a new line through eastern Wyom-
ing from it's North Platte valley line
and surveyors have been working on
this proposition for many months. 1t
is thought this line will reach the
present main line in the vicinity of
Rock creek.
THE Burlington is doing a little
building from the Worland line
terminus, and more building by this
company may be expected in the near
future. 1t should reach Thermopolis
some time next year. The extension
south and a new line to the west are
looked for in Wyoming, and it may be
truthfully said that Burlington Off
Gals have given cause for Wyoming
people holding these expectations
Within the past week or two the
Union Pacific has put a corps of sur
veyors at work in the Platte valley,
and have run a line on the south side
of the Platte river from the vicinity
of Oshkosh to near the state line west.
The first survey was on the north
side of the river, for a considerab BILE
distance west of Northport.
While the Burlington has been
closing up a few right of way deals in
the Platte valley west of Kearney, it
is said the project to construct main
line through the state, following the
Platte valley from Kearney to Bridge
FORT, while not abandoned, is held up
for some future period of building
activity.
