1t is charged that the governor has GER
tainly played into the hands of the Burling-
ton in appointing both Colonel Westervelt
and Colonel Spens of that railroad, while
the Union Pacific and the other roads are
not officially represented on the staff.
Should the fact that Colonel Spens is a
member of the staff, give him precedence
before the state railway commission over
Charlie Lane and other freight agents, the
matter Of the slight of the other roads
might prove serious.
Commissioner Clarke has expressed his
surprise at the action of the governor In
giving the Burlington the inside track, in
a letter to Charlie Lane, TO which the latter
replied in part, at follows:
For the present shall rave to content
myself with the bulk of the beer from this
terminal going to points competitive with
the Burlington, which the brewers say we
shall have until Spens sends his commission
back.

has started his fencing drill with a one

or the net loss, In many instances lthou-
sands move out annually while more thou
sands move in. A generation ago the men
were in great excess in Muskgeon, Mich,
because of the lumber industry, while now
there is an equally great excess of women
due to textile factoriess and yet the popu-
lation of the city is. not much greater than
in the former period. 80
Before the civil war. and for some years
after 1t, the migrations of our people were
almost all westward, and few but the poor
or the young changed their homes. Now
our well-to-do families are on the move;
and not a few of them migrate eastward
