FORT SMITH ROAD
BOOSTS FREIGHT RATES
Permission is Granted By Cor
poration Commission After
Showing Made of Loss

Permission was gicven the Fort
Smith & Western railroad by the
corporation commission Friday to
raise its carload rates 2 cents per
cwt. on practically every commodity
carried by that road. Petitions from
citizens all along the line from 1T
Smith to Guthrie asking that the in
crease be allowed and the proof that
it cost the company $3.50 to make
$40 influenced the commission to
make the order.
Rates on less than carload lots will
also be materially increased. Firs'
ana second class freight of this order
will be increased 4 cents and thiro
and fourth class will be raised j.,
cents per hundred. 1t is estimated
that the increases will bring approNi'
mately $4,000 more to the treasury
of the company than under the ole
rates.
Since the San Bois coal mines were
destroyed great portion of I'M
revenue of this road has been cut oil
II is thought that these minec will b
reopened some time during the com
ing spring or summer. in which cas-
the road will again be placed on
more substantial footing. The com
mission reserved the right to revoK
the order at any time that busines
might seem to warrant such an ae
tion.
