Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

The largest colonist travel in the his
tory of the western tranScontlnental
lines was reached during the semi
annual period of 80 days. which expired
Sunday This is indicated in the fig
ures which have been compiled by the
traffic department of the Hartman
lines.
During the period from September
Is to October 10, when the low one
way rate was in effect, the Southern
Pacific handled 29.878 passengers diVid-
ed through the various gateways as
follows: Via Ogden, Utah, 1920; via Il
PaSO Tex, 1929; via Los Angeles, Cal,
S6S and via Portland Ore, Sol. The
| Oregon W Washington Railway & NaVI-
cation company CARED 11,600 while the
! travel over the Union Pacific amount
ed to 1878 passengers, making a grand
| total of 81, 256
These figures do not "include the
large volume of travel under the col
onist rate handled over the Santa F'e,
Rock Island, Burlington and the GOULD
lines. Many of these lines ran extra
trains as did the Hartman lines, so
that the total for the month undoubt-
eddy approximates 100000 people. This
is several thousand larger than any
previous similar movement.
Local passenger officials regard the
increase III the coloniat movement as
an indication that the homeseeker bus
mess will be much larger than hereto
fore All the lines are preparing for
big movements in the west, northwest,
southwest, south and southeast. Al
ready arrangements have been made
on many of the lines for extra through
trains to certain sections where the
indications are the settlement will be
the heaviest during the winter months.
The poor crop yields in nearly every
section Of the country, it is believed,
will be an incentive for farmers to
change locations. This will develop
large volume of homeseeker traffic.

Though the call was for Republican
caucus the ticket nominated last Thurs
day night represents the citizens of both
political parties and stands for an honest
administration of our city affairs. 1t is
a protest against one-ma1 rule, against
the carrying of partisanship to extremes.
against the prostitution Of public office
TO personal ends. 1t is a demand for a
return to safe and sane methods, for
equal justice to all citizens, for cessa-
ton of tn prescription and strife that
have given Belfast a bad reputation
abroad and done incalculable injury at
home. The candidate for mayor, Ralph
l. Morse, ESQ.,, is a young man of un-
blemshed character, and of acknowl-
edged ability. The people of Belfast
have twice elected him as their repre-
sentative at Augusta, and his legislative
experience and legal training eminently
qualify MIN for the office of mayor. The
ward tickets are made up of representa-
tive citizens, whose aim it will be to ad-
minister the affairs of the city impartial
~ and for the good Of the whole commu-
nifty. Vote the ticket headed by Ralph
