TRAVEL LIKELY
TO Be INCREASED
PASSENGER MEN EXPECT HEAVY
TRAFFIC IN THE NEXT FEW
MONTHS, RECEIPTS APPEAR TO
BE ON THE UPWARD GRADE
: NOW.

Fargo railroad men are of the opin-
ion that passenger travel from now on
will be very heavy, and that the re-
ceipts that have shown a shrinkage
during the past three months, will
gradually increase until the railroads
of the country have swung into the
heavy spring tourist travel
One of the best indications of the
heavy travel that railroad men believe
will come later in the season, is the
fact that at the present time the win
ter tourist travel is very heavy. Rail-
road men argue that travel is uniform
and that heavy winter travel always
augurs a heavy travel during the fol-
lowing spring.
Frank Randall, travelling passenger
agent of the New York Central, who
was in town recently, states that some
of the roads are running solid stand
ard trains from the twin cities to the
Pacific coast, as well as a tourist

500 Officials at croOkstOn.

Crookston, Mimi, Jan. 6.-The fact
that George M Huss and g. W.
Halves, both officials of the 500 rail-
road, spent yesterday in the city from
Minneapolis caused considerable inter-
est as connected with the well-defined
rumor which has been persistently
current of late that the 500 was plan
ming on entering Crookston with line
leaving the main line near Plummer,
and through this city to Fargo and
thence west, connecting with the other
main line.
Just what their mission in Crookston
was, they did not divulge, but their
presence here gives color to the ru-
NOR
The coming of the 500 would mean
much to Crookston, which already has
railroad facilities that are unexcelled
by any city in the northwest The ac-
QUESTION Of the 500 would open ur
still more territory directly tributary
to Crookston.

r.. R. COMMISSION
Held A SPECIAL

BisnarclS, N. D., Jan. 6.-At the re-
quest of the travelling men of the state
a meeting of the railroad commission
was called, at which the protesting pc
tition Of the travelling men against
the so-called way of pulling the mile
age books on the different roads, was
formally presented. After the consid-
GRAFTON the petition of the travelling
men was virtually granted. The trav-
elers claim that conductors never gave
them the advantage of the fraction Of
mile between stations and whether
it was under or over the half-mile the
entire mile was taken from the book.
For instance, IL the distance was ten
and one-flfth miles, eleven wiles was
pulled In the petition 1t was asked
that the books be made with marks
for the half mile. The roads made
another proposition to the commission
upon which basis the order win prob
ably be issued. The books will be
made the same as at present but where
the distance over the mile is less than
half a mile the smaller distance will
| be pulled and where it is over the half
mile the company will get the advan-
tage.
From Gascoyne a complaint was re-
ceived on the Milwaukee road in the
southwestern part of the state that
the depot there was simply a box car
and that it was never heated and that
even the trains supposed to stop there
on flag were very often run through
when there were passengers waiting
for 1t. President Stutsman will make
a trip to Gascoyne to investigate con-
ditions.
There was another complaint receiv-
ed from the towns along the Ambrose
Flaxton branch of the 500 Co., COM
planning on the passenger service in
that 1t is not adequate to the needs
of the territory covered and that the
trains run with no regularity whatever.
Commissioners Anderson and Mann
viii make a trip Of investigation in
the near future.

Washington, d. c., Jan. ga Pan
American commercial conference. more
practical and comprehensive than any
trade gathering ever assembled in the
national capital, will be held DUNG the
week of Feb. 1918 1911, under the au-
spices of the Pan-American Union,
formerly known as the Bureau of
American Republics, in the auditorium
of the new building of the Union,
Washington, d. c. Its purpose and
plan, as announced by Director General
John Barrett, will be that of awaken
ing commercial organizations, repre-
sentative business men and the general
public Of both North and South Ameri-
ca to an appreciation of the possibili-
ties Of the Pan-American commerce
and the necessity of preparing for the
opening of the Panama canal
Through the cooperation of the de-
partment of state diplomatic and con-
sular officers of the United States ac-
credited to Latin America, either home
on leave or detailed for this purpose,
will deliver addresses describing trade
conditions and opportunities based
upon their official Investigations and
0DEerVaLlQIlS. II6 anu VII
sular officers of the twenty Latin
American nations accredited to the
United States will, on the other hand,
be invited to discuss the subject from
the standpoint Of their countries, par
ticularly with reference to the ex-
change of commerce and the extension
Of the market for their products in
the United States. The practical side
of the meeting is further shown in the
fact that the best export and import
trade experts, both official and private,
aside from diplomatic and consular Of
ficers, will give talks on those particu-
lar subjects which manufacturers, ex-
uorters and importers not yet ia
miliar with the field wish to hear dis
cussed, such as Credits, Trade Marks.
Tariff Regulations, Banking Facilities,
Packing, Advertising Catalogues.
Freight Rates, Steamship Routes,
Laws Governing Statesmen and Sam
Piles, etc.
Invitations to participate in this con-
ference will be sent to the principal
commercial organizations in repre-
sentative cities and to such other bust
ness organizations, individuals, COM
NAMES and firms as may desire TO at
tend. Colleges and schools having

rain, and that these cars are filed, so

train, and that these cars are filled, so
heavy is the travel. ... ....
Other passenger agents who make
Fargo, report that at the present time
the tourist travel is very heavy to
California and all points to the west
and southwest.
Several Fargo railroad men state
that the prospects for spring travel
were Of the brightest. The Fargo dis
trict promises to be benefited by a very
heavy emigrant travel west and north.
A plan is on foot at the present time
to bring a special immigrant and home
seekers train to Northern Minnesota
and North Dakota. The idea of the
railroad men, working in conjunction
with some of the citizens of Fargo and
from some Of the towns of the north
ern section, is to bring home seekers
from other parts of the country to
view what North Dakota has to offer
in the way of homes.
Railroad men here also expect very
heavy travel of foreign laborers, as
there was a very heavy rush of range
workers to the old country the past
fall
The past few months have been the
dullest in the history of the Fargo
railroads, as far as passenger bust
ness was concerned. Travel over the
country has been very light. The win
ter tourist travel has been the first
bright indication, and has been fol-
lowed with the further prospect of a
heavy tourist travel later in the sum-
mer.
There are a large number Of import
ant conventions the coming summer
and there is the indication at the pres
ent time that the Western passenger
agents may be induced to make some
special rates even in the straight two
/ cent and two and half cent terri
! tories. But whether the special rates
are made or not, Fargo passenger mer
have visions of a heavy travel, tho
first optimistic view they have hat

foreign trade will also send specialists
to take part.
II will have q novel feature in that
it will consider the exchange OF trade
imports as well as exports-and the
opportunities not only Of the United
States to extend the sale Of its pro-
ducts in Latin America, but of Latin
America to sell it's products to the
United States, for only upon the basis
Of reciprocal exchange of trade can a
permanent large commerce and lasting
good relations be built up between the
United States and her twenty sister
American republics. Heretofore all
discussions and meetings have consid
cred only the export field, with a cor
responding unfortunate effect on pub
lie opinion in Latin America and it's
attitude towards the efforts Of the
United States to increase it's COM
merce with that important part of the
world
Another special feature will be care
full consideration, from the standpoint
of the business interests, of all the
American countries interested in the
Panama canal, Of what should be done
to get ready for greater exchange OF
trade through that waterway and to
gain practical advantages to their
commerce from the day it is opened.
Heretofore most of the discussion has
been about the wonderful good that
will come from the canal, without any
consideration Of what should be done
now to secure that good.
The conference will also be unique in
that no platform or resolutions of a
controversial nature will be consider
ed. It will be absolutely non partis-
an and n-politicaI, devoted solely TO
educating and informing those present
about the conditions and opportuni-
ties Of Pan-American commerce so
that they may return to their respec-
tive cities, companies and institutions,
and become centers of knowledge and
information to develop new and prac-
teal interest in what American
trade and the Panama canal mean to
the United States and it's sister ma
tfons.
