ing to railway commissioners there
has never been time when farmers
and elevator men were more anxious
to secure service than right now. So
pronounced has the matter become
that the railway commission took un.
der advisement the issuance OF an
emergency order compelling roads to-,
report the car situation daily to the
body and to take extraordinary steps
to relieve the present demand. Re-
ceipt of word from the Burlington that
1000 cars from eastern divisions
would be available pacified the COM

stringency largely to the Rock Isalnd
