ARGU NENT On CATTLE RATES
Exceptions to Findings of Special
Master in Chancery Basis.
MHUGH REPRESENTS ROADS
Terry Says stock Does Not Bring as
Much Profit, in Proportion, as
Other Kinds of Rail
road Freight.

81. PAUL, Mimi, Oct 15.-Arguments in
the case OF fifty-one railroad companies
OF the west and southwest, which are seek
ing TO have annulled an order of the In
terstate Commerce commission reducing
rates on shipments on cattle from all over
the southwest to the Chicago, Kansas City.
Omaha, st. Joseph and New Orleans mar
kets, were presented in the United States
circuit court yesterday. The case is being
fought by the railroads on exceptions taken
to the findings OF James A. Seldom, special
master in chancery whose recommended
tons upheld the orders of the Interstate
Commerce commission issued about two
years ago and which are now in effect.
Arguments for the railroads we're pre-
pared by J. w. Terry OF Galveston, Tex
and for the commission by S. s. Cowan Of
Fort Worth, Tex.
Profits ON Cattle Small.
Mr.. Terry argued that the cattle traffic
does not pay the railroads so much profit
In proportion to the quantity OF freight
carried as other kinds OF traffit He main
tanned that the rates established by the
commission are unreasonable and do not
give the railroads fair compensation for
handling that traffic.
Mr.. Cowan, for the commission, main
tained that the rates established by the
commission were reasonable and compensa-
tory and that the former rates reduced by
the commission were reasonable and com
pensatory and that the former rates by
the commission were unreasonably high

Gas Company

FOrty-Seven Thousand Dollars is
Amount City Receives from Cor

Manager English Of the Citizens Gas a
Electric Light company has turned into
the city treasury the gas and electric
light royalties for the last year. The
royalties are payable under the conditions
of the gas company's charter and con
tracts with the city, cents per 1000
cubic feet Of gas consumed and per cent
Of the gross earnings Of the electric bust
ness, including lighting and power.
The fiscal year for this business ends on
October l, and II has required Manager
English considerable time to go over the
books and figure up the total The
amount Of the check turned over to City
Treasurer True was 34,72s thus verifying
his prediction, made several months ago.
that the royalty to be paid this year
would approximate 5000.
The size Of the royalty has steadily risen.
The first payment made three years ago
was little over 5000. last year it ex-
ceeded $780, and Mr.. English thinks the
royalty next year should go considerably
above 5000. The royalty period covers
the contract period OF five years, and
Manager English's estimate at the start
was that the total sum Tor the whole
period would approximate $4,000. The in
crease each year Is due to the increased
consumption Of gas and electric power.
The conditions OF the contracts require
the royalties to be used in the lighting
fund, largely for the purpose OF extend
ing the street lighting system. The con-
tract with the company has been the best
the city has ever had, and the town Is
better lighted than It has ever been. The
price charged for all night arc lamps Is
$50 a year, or the same price paid in
Omaha. Manager English is very anxious
to change the lighting methods on the
business streets, substituting the arcs in
the middle Of the streets for clusters

ner and in the middle of the blocks, maxi
