wool producing districts Of the Unit
ed States to the wool markets afore-
said.
That the rates on hides and bones
Ifrow Roswell, Hagerman, Artesia n
Carlsbad to Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago, are unjust and unrea-
sonable to the amount of twenty-five
per ceat.
That the rates on alfalfa hay,
which is largely produced in the vi
entity of Roswell, Hagerman, Artesia
and Carlsbad, and which must find a
market at Fort Worth, Dallas a1d
other similarly situated Texas towns
are SO unjust and unreasonable as to
largely prevent the shipment of hay
to those points and seriously limit
the amount of production. That the
said rates are $500 per ton and as the
plaintiff alleges $500 per ton from
Roswell and vicinity to Fort Worth
would be the just and reasonable rate
That there is no rate for through ship
me1tS via Amarillo or such hay to
Fort Worth and Dallas and the said
Pecos Valley line of railroad and tine
A. T.. & S. F. Railway Company, and
the F. t. w. & D.. G. Railway Com
pany refuse to make a through route
and to make through rates on ship
ments of hay from Roswell, Hagermaa
Artesia Amarillo thence to FIT. Worth
and Dallas, and that the local rates
to Amarillo thence to Fort Worth
which combination is $500 per ton,
is unjust and unreasonable. And that
the rate of $500 per ton to FIT. Worth
on feed products made of alfalfa hay
and grain is unjust and unreasonable.
The failure to make a reasonable rate
on sale product prevents its manufac-
ture.
That the rates on apples from Ros-
well, Hagerman, Artesia and Carlsbad
and on other fruits, are unjust and
unreasonable, and that this applies
as well to dried fruits and fruit pro-
ducts. That the rates on apples are
from said points so cents per m
hundred pounds, which to a large ex-
tent excludes apples grown at said
New Mexico points, from finding a
and that a rate of 40 cents per hun
dred pounds would be just and rea-
sonable.

Orleans, Galveston, Fort Worth, Okla
homa City, Wichita, Kansas, Denver
and Colorado common points, ANA

Artesia I Carlsbad are unjust and
unreasonable, in violation of the act
to regulate and tina the
