TO LOWER WESTERN RATES
VIA GALVESTON STEAMERS

The Texas Steamship company Will
not advance its rates between New

reduction in rates announced by the
railroads from Galveston to Denver,
which will become effective Christmas.
This means that the Galveston gate

transportation from Atlantic scaboard
points 10 Colorado territory.
This information was received by
George j. Kindel in letter from j. R.
Roland, traffic manager, that the steam
ship company has not entered into any
agreement with the Morgan and NAL
lory lines for raising rates, as has been
reported, but that il still maintains and

Of forcing Il reduction Of the all-rail

the most prominent features in the iron
trade last week.
Steel companies in eastern Pcnnsyl-
vania have obtained $4,000 tons Of ba-
sic for first and second quarter OF 1910
shipments at $1S75 delivered, making
the total of such contracts in the last

"As everyone knows, Hartman an

FASTEST LONG DISTANCE
TRAIN IS ON HILL LINE,

The distance between st. Paul and
Seattle is over l.s00 miles Daily, for
more than a month, the fast mail Of
the Great Northern has travelled that
distance in less than forty-eight hours.
Every day when not ahead of its
schedule it has been on time to the
minute.
The accomplishment calls for an aver
age speed, including stops, Of forty
miles per hour. An actual speed OF
over sixty miles per hour is maintained
on long. level stretches of track, where
the engineer must make up time TO com
pensate for the hard pull over the
mountains and necessary stops at tanks
and coaling stations. The train that

and Is hauled by some of the most
powerful engines in the world.
