shipments will apply and the A. N.

of the rates on ali shipments going
out OF the state or coming from with
out the state destined to points on
the A N. Il s. Already more than
eighty carloads have been shipped
over the A. N. Il S. and a temporary
rate ha' been in force. This will be
done away with on Saturday and the
charge will be fixed by the rate as
approved by the interstate COM
MERGE commission. Locally the road
will be operated under. the Iowa rate
law and has chosen Class B for it's
freight traffic and Glass C for its
passenger traffic.
A. N. & S. Time Table
General Manager Jones of the A.
N. u S. announced today that he had
completed regular train schedule
for all trains running over the new

O'Clock Monday morning and will
continue in force indefinitely.
The train leaving Atlantic will be
known as No. l and on the return
trip as No. 2.
One of the rules governing the en-
ployes of the road is to the concern
that all trains will stop on signal at
Hansen Heights to take on or let off
passengers. The table:

BUSY SESSION OF
A. N. 4 S. BOARD
MANY MATTERS OF INTEREST DIS
CUSSED AT LAST MEETING

Taken from Democrat
Nine members of the Board of Dr.
rectors of the A. N. &. s. were at the
meeting last night and business of
importance was transacted.
Atlantic Depot
The depot committee was given
authority to contract for the Attain
tic depot and it will probably be
bailt of cement 22x5O feet and two
stories in height. This is little
larger than was at first talked of,
but no larger than the needs of the
business at this point will demand.
The total probable cost will be less
than $4,000 and the upstairs will be
used for the company's general
offices.
Ballast Cars Ordered
Three ballast cars to be used in
construction and repair work were
found necessary and General Mana
ger Jones was instructed to buy
them,
Committee to Decide
A committee to look into the
merits of the Fairbanks, Morse &
Company passenger motor Car and
determine between the purchase of
one of the cars and another engine,
was appointed. The committee will
no doubt report in favor of the pur-
chase of motor car as the board is
unit in the belief that better passen-
ger service than can be obtained by
regular freight trains should be in
stalled. The community of interest
between the A. N. 81 S. and the Rock
Island is such that the switch engine
of the latter road can be secured for
