some silver service, given by the state
after which it was named.
The party came to Santa ne and re-
mained about five hours. Every mem.
ber of 1t was greatly pleased with the
climatic, historical, chronological and
other attractions of the city, and each
and every one enjoyed his and her
visit here greatly, regretting that they
had not more time to spend in New
Mexico's interesting capital. They
expressed themselves from the COVER.
nor down, as regrettlng that they did
not know how pleasantly and agree.
ably a visit to Santa Fe Of several
days could be spent. and had they
known of the real conditions they
would have made their stay here a
day instead of a few hours.

city, written by Governor G. l.. Shell

NO INCREASE IN
FREIGHT RATES
Railroad Officials Decide Such a Move
at This Time Would Prove
Disastrous.

Washington, June S.--No general in.
c#caF" In freight rates is likely to be
made by the railroads of the coun.
try in the near future. At a recent
meeting of the presidents and operat.
ing officials of all the important rail-
roads held in New York, it was the
concensus of opinion that it would be
undesirable if not absolutely imprac.
ticable to put into effect at this time
an increase in rates. 1t was argued
that the proposed increase in a time
OF depression would tend rather to
increase the freight stagnation than
to stimulate freight movement,

ously injured.
The Illinois, with the frebost Dennis

caused 81, 500, 900 damage and destroyed
five grain elevators, the Burlington dock
