New Point in the Illinois
Tax Suit.

For the first time in many months
traffic operating officials of roads in
this territory are unanimous in their
statements that there is no longer
the slightest trouble from car short
age, but that the roads are able to
handle al the freight traffic offered
satisfactorily toshippe RS in every
class of business.
Conditions are said to be better in
this respect than at any time for the
past twelve months. and it is hoped
that there will be no recurrence of
the shortage and congestion of freight
which was so much in evidence few
months ago. Movements of general
freight traffic are said to be heavy in
Cairo territory, but there are no
special classes of freight at this time
OF year that require more than the
ordinary attention of traffic officials.
The improvement in conditions is
particularly due to the fact that near
ly all the roads have within the past
six months added largely to their
of freight cars and en-
gines, enabling them to take care of
the traffic more promptly that for.

Notwithstanding the improvement
noted, the roads are still placing large
orders for this class of equipment. as

ing their roadways.

Capt A. J. Powell, of Cairo. has
sold his interest In the excursion
steamer Louisiana, to his partners,
Captains Young and Patton, and the
latter will run the boat in the Miss

In the suit against the Illinois Cen

supreme court, and that body decided
IL should be first heard in the circuit
courts, and it was then that Attorney

PRICE OF ALFALFA
Ranehers Organizing TO Boost the
Market In the Far West-crop
is Large.

Spokane, Wash, June 25.-Ranch-
err in the Spokane, Yakima and
Columbia valley are organizing with
the view of controlling the price of
Alfalfa hay and using a maximum
price of not less than S. ton. which
Is equivalent to SO ton delivered.
High prices for help and hauling ma.
terial are given as the reason for the
organization. OF the present crop of
hay practically none has been mar
keted, dealers refusing to quote
prices. The crop is unusually large.
but to Offset this, demands have been
made By commission men. That the
efforts of the ranchers to control
prices may be successful is possible
By the ready sales that await all Who
have hay for sale.

braska. besides a few adjoining Com
imonwealth,.
IL is explained by well known
traffic official that there is no inten
ton of making cents per mile q
fiat rate all over the United States
This proposition will likely be
brought forward as vital question
II the low rate will become permanent
in the central western states. Other
wise it will not be considered.
The Illinois roads, at meeting yes.
terday at Chicago, concluded arrange
ments for putting the cent fare in
force in Illinois on July /. They
decided 10 try the low rate for ninety
days and see what effect 1t would have
on their revenue. Although they viii
take steps to preserve their legal
rights, probably by serving notice on
the Illinois railroad commission, the
new statute will not be contested IN
I'll after the three months trial.
The railroads have been compelled
by circumstances to apply the 2-cent.
per-mile rate to interstate business
in the middle western states. AS was
explained exclusively in The Republic
last week, the enforcement OF the
low rate in Missouri, Illinois. Arkan-
sas and neighboring states made it
necessary to extend the fiat rate 10
interstate business.
IL the interstate fare were 8 cents
Or Pa a cents per mile, a passen-
ger might get on a trian at Danyille.
H., buy a 2-cent-per-mile ticket to
East Hannibal, walk across the Han
libal bridge, and buy a 2-cent.per-
nile ticket from Hannibal to Kansas
1it;.
The tickets would show as intrastate
in Illinois and as intra-
tate transportation in Missouri, al |
hough it would be an interstate trip. |
md, consequently. the final reports
would indicate an increase in the
raffic with 2-cent-permile rate.
In order to keep the intrastate bust.
ess separate from the interstate
noyement, the fiat rate of cents per
ale will become effective in all the
entral western states next month,
'hen the same low rates go into effect

The fare is very cheap and the COM

costs, wise investment to those who
travel. The extra cost between New

Too gentle to remain with life s

Our Father saw twas best to take

And hold within His sheltering arms,
Where sin can ne 'er molest nor sor-

So sad, so sad, it was to depart from

Dear Lord not our will but Thine.
Asleep In Jesus, Thine is blissful rest,
Awake in Heaven; 'tis no surprise.
Thou art dead to sorrow, pain and

Alive to joy and bliss that never

Help us dear Lord, take heed and

To reach that happy land,
And then when we in heaven shall
meet,
And walk by the still white sea,
Dear Lou will know our voices across

Of Gods great white throne; good
