of this that is carried by water routes
, from New York and Boston and Phila

and the Isthmus Of Panama. Perhaps
pa per cent of freight originating in
the east, destined for Salt Lake, comes
via New Orleans and Galveston, and
thence by rail TO Salt Lake. Consid-

in the interior as Buffalo, and is then
hauled east by rail to New York, trans

Pacific Coast Fights Utah.
San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and
Tacoma have always the water route
rs club over the railroads TO prevent
any reduction in rates to the interior,
for the reason that such reduction
would build up other jobbing centers
like Salt Lake, and would therefore
restrict the territory which they have
always claimed rs their own, and IN
view that 95 per cent of the westbound
traffic moves or is carried under sea
terminal commodity rates
5hese cities have been able to prevent
any reduction Of rates to interior
,ities.
These Pacific coast points have been
he real enemy in the field, the real
zoe. Chambers of Commerce in those
titles are now, in view of the Spokane

FRAUD IS ALLEGED IN
MINING STOCK DEAL
H. r. Kline Sues A. c. Austin to
Compel the Resembling
of a Contract.

II, r. Kline brought suit against A.
| c. Austin In the Third District court
Saturday to rescind contract for the
purchase of mining stock, which, he
says, he was induced to enter into by
| Austin through fraud.
Kline says that prior to November
{, 1906, he was tho owner Of l4,OG3
shares Of stock IN the Yaxtla company
and 5000 shares in the Guerrero Lum-
ber,, Mining and Milling company,
Utah corporation, doing business in
Mexico. On that date he purchased,
through Austin, 1915 shares Of stock
IN tho Yaxtla company for 23,300 pesos
Mexicanos. or $ll $50 United States
money, giving four promissory notes,
bearing 8 per cent annual interest, i'll
payment, and depositing all his stock
with the Mexico City Banking com
pany as security
Counter claims arose, however, Kline
says, and he refused to make payment
on the notes, This difficulty, he says,
was settled by the effecting of com
promise on April IA, this year, whereby
he was to give Austin for the YaXtla
company 1000 pesos and receive in re-
Sls94,95, on the notes being held by
the bank. The remittent amount was
for interest due.
Austin, Kline charges, fraudulently
caused this compromise to be so drawn
that the vital parts were omitted. He
signed the contract, he says, relying
upon the alleged fraudulent represen-
tations of Austin. and he now seeks to
rescind it. He further alleges that Aus
tin owes him $l5s7.s6, with interest
from September of 1908, for money paid
ont for the Utah Colonization associa-
ton, voluntary company, $S32,59 for
money loaned and $1S7 paid out at re-
quest, for all of which he asks iudg
ment. He also asks that Austin be kept
from disposing of the stock, setting out
that he is willing to pay the balance

The FortIeth Birthday of the Post Card

The FIRST post cards we're issued in
Austria on October LIST, 1863. The
idea had already been suggested. but
not adopted. at the ffth German pos
tai congress. In 1865. Its adoption In
Austria appears TO be due To an article
published in 1863 by Prof Emanuel
Hermann OF vienna. who is sometimes
called the inventor OF the post card.
In 1870 post cards were issued by the
North German Postal Union. Bavaria.
England and Switzerland. The Ger
man cards we're printed without the
impression Of stamp until 1872. In
which year also the first return post
cards were issued. In Germany. At
the postal congress which met at
Berne In 1874. and az which 22 coun-
tries wsre represented the inter-
national post card OF the value OF 10
pfennlngH, i2Is centimes. / penny, or
2 cents was adopted The post card
soon became popular and its use ex-
tended 10 other countries. Post cards
are now issued In great numbers by
22 governments In Germany alone
more than 800 million post cards are
used annually
The private picture post card which
has attained such amazing popularity
within the last decade, is nearly as old
as the government post card. IL ~

it's origin TO the Franco-Prussian war.

by Brandt In Dresden. The industry.
which ls still carried on chiefly in
Germany, has developed to gigantic
