Coincident with the recent rapid
advance in fat cattle occurred a
clamor for the kind OF feeding stock
susceptible OF a short finish, but in
tending buyers promptly discovered
that anything carrying flesh or loose
hided elected higher bids from kill
ers than they could afford. slaugh-
terers have been paying $3.50 04.75
for tight hided cattle carrying no
flesh that no feeder would think
OF purchasing at the price. A dis
gusted Ohio man who spent several
days in a quest for decent feeding
cattle at Chicago recently said
whats the use trying to COM
pete with killers? All | found was
a lot OF cold-blooded buns Such
cattle l would not handle as they
have no quality. They may suit
killer, but feeder cannot afford
10 put corn into them at these
prices"

A Texas paper has the following;
What is perhaps one OF the most
novel claims ever filed has been
lodged against Fort Worth line,
In this instance commission man
wants the railroad to pay him what
he would have earned had not the
shipment consigned TO the firm been
in wreck with disastrous conse-
Quenccs, This is the first claim OF
record where any one has asked pay
for a service that was not performed,
but which may have been performed
had not the shipment been destroyed
in a disaster.
The chances are this claim will not
be seriously entertained by the rail-
road company, The road will prob
ably contend that this would estab-
fish a precedent with innumerable
ramfications. For instance, say a
shipment of shirts is made to Fort
Worth and en- route the shipment Is
lost The wholesale house to which
such a shipment is forwarded puts
in claim for the value OF the
shirts, plus the profit he would have
made out OF them. Then the retail
or who would have bought the shirts
figures out that he too has been de-
prived OF his profit, so he puts in
his claim. Then the railroad would
have an inning against itself, for 1t
could set forth that had the shirts
been delivered IL could have sold a
ticket to the drummer, who would
have gone forth to sell the shirts.
The country hotel men would have
just claim for the board the drum
mer would have paid while the
drummer himself could set up the
claim that had the shirts arrived he
would have had a pleasant trip while
out selling the shirts, and-well,
what's the use. The railroad that
received this claim is fearful OF such
observation-disclosures.

The Texas legislature will convene
this winter and already there is talk
of proposed legislation. From sew
eral interviews that have been read
by the Daily Panhandle's railroad
editor, with legislators, the disposi-
ton is favorable to railroads and
the concepsus Of opinion is that no
legislation detrimental to railroads
will be enacted this winter. One
law which ought to be changed and
which Is under discussion and re-
celving favorable notice, is the one
prohibiting issuing Of transportation
to newspapers in. payment for ad-
vertising. This should be repealed
as 1t works no injustice to any per-
son and is a strictly business propo-
sition for railway company to issue
transportation to newspapers, receiv-
ing advertising space as payment. 1t
Is a simple business proposition of
each party trading his commodity
for what the other has to sell, The
Panhandle railroad editor is strongly
in favor OF this change aud can not
Sc how 1t concerns anyone but the
two parties directly concerned in the
transaction which is purely bust
ness affair.

The most conservative estimates
OF the number OF men now employed
by the railroads in the Southwest,
especially the Texas lines. is that it
will aggregate at least so per cent
more than was the case ninety days
ago, OF course with the advent OF
fall business a natural increase in
the forces Is to be expected. Taking
the last ten years however, as gem
eral average this increase has seldom
gone above 80 per cent The move
mnt OF tonnage, especially since
November /, has been more than
heavy, 1t has been abnormal. Where
sixty days ago a railroad was max
ing a pretty close investigation of
the records of all who applied for
employment, at this time this inves-
tigation is largely perfunctory
matter. In other words no road can
afford to jeopardize Gripping its
force by exacting a too high creden-
tial from those now working. or
course when the rush is over, the
wedding out process will be pushed
with zeal, but for the next few weeks
anyway the trainman with bad
wreck record and the like can rest
comparatively easy. This is not no.
ticeable in this portion OF Texas as
the Panhandle roads have enjoyed
prosperity all during the panic, the
railroads centering in Amarillo were
not affected locally.
