To Pay More

Minneapolis, Minn.-The lease, or to
build and maintain q line Of steamers
on the great lakes to handle North
west commodities and dictate q rate
from Buffalo to the Atlantic seaboard
is the plan considered at q special
meeting of the policy committee Of
the Minneapolis Traffic Association.
w. p. Trickett, executive manager
Of the association, upon his return
from Chicago. announced that he had
learned that the sweeping increase in
merchandise rates planned by the rail-
roads will extend as far as the Missis.
sippi river.
The Chicago rate increase has been
expected for year BY the association.
but the Minneapolis extension came as
a surprise. Hurried consideration Of
plans to combat the action has result
ed in proposition to use the lake and
rail service to the exclusion Of the
all-rail. Members of the association
who attended the meeting believe that
it will be matter of course If the
lake and rail rates are increased pro-
portionately. This would forestall the
lake and rail competition plan, but the
association stands ready to use its own
boats.
So much of the traffic on the lakes
comes from the Twin Cities that local
traffic men argue that line installed
by themselves would carry such vast
tonnage that it would result in the.
Twin Cities controlling the lake high
way between Duluth and Buffalo. From
time to time boats have been leased
on the great lakes by local shippers
and, in small way, have been found
to be eminently successful as means
of combating unjust discrimination by
the rail carriers.
It was given out in Chicago by H
G. Barlow, traffic director of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce, and
John M. Glenn, secretary of the ILL
nois Manufacturers Association, that
the rates to Chicago from the Atlantic
seaboard will take effect about July
Is. This is said to include everything
but commodity rates. If the plan to
put line of boats on the great lakes
were carried out, not only class mer-
chandise, but all freight will be ship.

Greeley Badly Beaten Again

Alack the day. Greeley again
went to defeat on the gridiron Satur-
day, the fourth and last time biting
the dirt before the husky aggrega-
ton from the Fort Collins high
school, which team has a record OF
five games won and none lost for the
season. The score. low be it spoken,
was 80 to 12.
The game was disheartening from
the beginning, as the visitors took
only about one minute and a half to
make their first touchdown and goal.
At the end of the first quarter the
score was I s to 3.
In the third quarter Greeley be-
gan to play ball, bur 1t was too late.
The crowd began to warm up and,
when the broad brunette bosom of
Morton Balch's pants torn down the
field behind the ball for a touch
down. everyone on the grand stand
was standing up and cheering. There
was real football for while after
that. Even then the visitors proved
themselves too skilled in team work
for the spud pickers and rounded
out their score to an even 80. Win
ming the game puts them in the class
with Longmont for the northern
Colorado championship.
