MISSOURI NEWS
Three Cent Fares in Missouri.

Characterization railroads are GO
Ing to bend every energy toward bring
Ing about a return to a 3-cent basis for
passenger fares In all the states, and
have already decided to file a 3-cent
tariff for the state of Missouri, to take
erect April 10. AS soon after this
date as possible the Interstate rates
will be raised to be in line with the
3-cent rate through Missouri.
This declaration was reached at a
conference OF the presidents and vice
presidents of Missouri roads, held In
the office of B. L. Winchell, president
OF the Rock Island road. The officials
were unanimous in the opinion that
full advantage should be taken of the
legal opinion of Judge Mcpherson in
the Missouri case, although there was
at first some sentiment in favor of ac-
cepting the courts suggestion that 2h
ctnts be charged by the strong"
roads and 3 cents by the weak roads
Even If this were done, 2k cents
would have to be the rate wherever
competition existed, and the 3-cent
rate could be charged by the weak
lines only on business which was non.
competitive.
One or two of the presidents thought
that if the suggestion of the court was
accepted it might allay hostile meas
ures by the state legislature, but final
ly came to the conclusion hat the
worst the roads could get from litiga-
ton would be 21A cents. Therefore,
no valid reason for making the conces-
sion could be advanced. Some months
ago the executive board of the West
ern lines appointed a committee, of
which P. S. Eustis, passenger traffic
manager of the Burlington, is chair
man, whose duty it is to look after
2-cent rate affairs. This committee
was instructed to have a meeting o
and to line up the situation with re-
| spect to the other states.

them as the animal can conveniently

A few days ago the mammals watch

harmless sport were not a little sur
prised to see a middle-aged gentleman,
fa~ultlessly dressed, all by himself,
astride on a dromedary. One of the
ladies' then uttered a little scream
when she recognized in the rider M.

city.
Was he mad? Not a bit of 1t. He
was only the victim of the anonymous
practical joker who had len him a

1t seems he'd heard it from a Teller
that lived next door to Ebenezer: and
the Teller had heard 1t from somebody
else that had got 1t from somebody
else and so on and SO on. highs I
could find out 1t had started from
Hartley's telling me that the boy was
a brother outcast." Some idiot with
poor ears and worse brains had
thought he said brother Oscar" and
the whole string of yarns had sprout-
ed from that. Shows you what good
soil there is for planting lies down
our way. II lies was fetching ten
cents a barrel the whole neighborhood
would have been rich years ago.
All the time me and Nate was pow
wowing this way the yawl was sailing
up the bay towing my skin behind
her. There was a nice fair wind and
a smooth sea and twas SO clear after
the rain that we could see the hills
across the bay. But no sign could
we see Of the Dora Bassett o her
passengers. I was getting more wor-
ried every minute.
We cruised along till we got abreast
of the point from where the Old
Home pier was in sight. But the
sloop want at the pier. No use going
any farther, SO we come about and
begun to beat back again the way
we'd come. Scudder was worried
too, but his worriment had caught linn
in the pocketbook: proves how dis
ease will always get hold Of a feller's

I was feeling Just mean enough to
want somebody else to feel that way,
so l answers:

He thumped the boats rail. Crazy
or not" a y he. II can't afford to lose

a minute and begun to see a speck
of comfort. Maybe the shock OF
