PINEAPPLE men
COMPLAIN OF DUTY
TO So AMERICA

A new phase of work which. Il is
believed. ultimately viii result in the
shipping OF enormous quantities Of
canned pineapple from the Hawaiian
Islands To the principal South Arneri-
can countries. has been undertaken by
the Chamber OF Commences OF Homo
lulu which organization will address
letter TO Delegate Jonah Kalaniana-
ole, asking that he give every possible
assistance TO the campaign which now
is being waged throughout the United
States to secure reduction OF what
now is almost prohibitive import
duty into South American countries
on fruits which are preserved in syrup
The request that the chamber get
back of the movement for the reduc-
ton of this tariff. and that II COM
municate with the delegate IN the mat
ter, has been made to the chamber
by prominent local pineapple packers.
The matter has been taken up by the.
Hawaiian Pineapple Company, which
yesterday addressed communication
to the chamber asking for its coopera-
ton, and enclosing letter which Il.
has forwarded to the delegate. asking
that he give his personal attention to
helping further the campaign in the
interest of the local pineapple packers.
The company's letter to the dele.
gate, a copy OF which is on file at
the chamber office, points out that the
packers of Hawaiian pineapples are.
interested in this general movement
which now is going on throughout the
United States to gain further South
American trade. It further points out
that the principal obstacle is the exist
ing high tariffs in many of the South
American countries.
At present, the communication saws,
there is a heavy duty in the majority
of the South American countries on
fruits packed in syrup, and for this
reason the local pineapple packers nee
essarily are affected.
The state department and the de-
partment of commerce are known to
be endeavoring to induce South Amer
lean countries to reduce their import
duties. Many chambers of commerce
throughout the United States are work
ing with the departments along this
line

About Abilene Men

The Solomon Tribune has the fol-

spoke at the Lincoln township an
nual Sunday school convention and
picnic:
At the 2 o'clock hour, R. M.
White, president of the Dickinson
County Sunday School association
and an excellent worker in the Pres
byterian church Of Abilene, made a
profitable address on the subject:
"Strong and Weak Points in our
Sunday Schools. At 3, p. A. Bow
man, the excellent secretary of the
Methodist Sunday school at Abb
lene, gave an interesting paper on
the Necessity of an Efficient Sec
rotary" This is subject that is
practically ignored, but Mr.. Bow
man in his paper showed that the
secretary of the Sunday school is
an important officer and the one
who has this position and fills it
efficiently has his hands full.

NEW ORDER BOOSTS
r. F. d. MEMS PAY

A recent order of the postmaster
general increases the salaries OF
several of the rural route carriers
here. The increase is based on the
number of pieces carried, the weight
and the length of the route. There
is an increase of $12 for each 1000
pieces and $12 for each 100 pounds,
in excess of the scheduled number
and weight. Then there is $12 for
each pouch of closed sack. Twenty
five miles is the scheduled distance
for a route, and when carrier goes
farther than that, he benefits by
the new order. The maximum sal
airy for the R. F. D. men is $1,000.

U. p. WILL TAKE OVER
LEAvENwORTH BRANCH

Reports that the Union Pacific
system Is about to exercise It's rights
to operate the old Leavenworth-To-
peka railroad which runs from a
point one mile this side Of Meridcn
TO Leavenworth. will not down.
These reports were circulated. first
several months ago and again are
being heard from time to time.
This line was built q number OF
years ago. and through an agree
ment. the Santa Fe and Union Pa
cific lines bought II. After taking
control. q Joint agreement was made
whereby each line was TO operate It
two years at time. The Union Pa
cific has failed to exercise its claim
in operating the line. as the short
road has not been operated with
profit, hence the Santa Fe has al
ways operated the line.
Reports are now being circulated
that the Union Pacific system would
build q line from North Topeka 20
the connecting point and another re-
port is that the same system may
build the connecting line to q point,
connecting with the main line be-
tween Newman and Granville, thu
traversing parts of jefferson county
which have no railroad.
The Joint ownership OF this s. ert
line has probably prevented the Bi.r-
lington or Northwestern lines ON
building to Topeka. The RICH. I: way
OF the Leavenworth-T Topeka line ex-
tends west from Topeka and part
of 1t is now used by the Rock IslaEd.
The branch line extending ron
Burllngame through Eskridge frcm
Alma formerly was part I the
property. At one time 1t extended as
far as Manhattan, but much OF the
track has been removed and the right
of way deserted. However, the Santa
Fe bought all other interests In Ills
part of the property and now owns
and operates it independtly.
