grain is about all shipped out which
usually made business at this season
of the year and there is no lumber
coming east from the Pacific coast.
These three items all cut down at
once show something of the reasons
for the cut OF expenses by the COM
pany. Then. the absence OF snow that
gave many men employment last
winter has added TO the bunch of
reasons for the business slump on the
railroads this winter. 1t is estimated
that only about 10 per cent of the
grain of last years crop remains to
be shipped out of the state, and the
shipmen, of that will be so gradual
that no increase in traffic on the road
will be noticed from grain business
until another crop is ready.
