Sence of President

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
has not taken any action in regard to
asking an Increase in it's coal rates
from West Virginia to Western points,
particularly Michigan. according to a
statement made yesterday by President
Stevens. The question of filing new
tariffs was discussed at a conference OF
railroad officials and mine operators in
Charleston. w. Va, several weeks ago.
but no decision WAS reached. No in
crease will he asked for at present by
the Chesapeake and Ohio.
when asked yesterday whether or
not the Chesapeake ard Ohio would
join with other coal-carrying roads in
a request to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for permission to increase
the rate on West Virginia COAL Prcsi-
dent stevens said:
NO tariffs covering increases on
West Virginia coal have as yet been
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission and none will be filed at
present. Future action has not yet
been determined upon"
If the increase should he asked for
the Indications are that the new rates
would not go into effect for six months
at least. After the tariffs are filed
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the operators would probably
ask for an investigation and the hear
ings would take up considerable time
before "a report would he filed with the
Commission. The Impression prevails
among officials of the Chesapeake and
Ohio that this road will not ask for an
increase in the Immediate future.

DELAWARE BREEDERS
EXPECT HORSE A BOOM

Due to the prevalent belief that the
horse breeding industry will shortly be
booming, Delaware horsemen are max
ing plans to meet the futures needs.
Heavy .inroads have been made into
American stock by the warning European
nations, which is largely the cause of h ,
expected boom in this connection
Special attention is being given by the
Delaware State Fair Association to the
horse department of the coming fair. as
it is predicted that much greater inter
est will be manifested in it this year.
The breeding and the matured classes
will come in for large share of atten-
tion and the fair will open a wide dis
cussion on the now pertinent export
question, it is believed.
The following article recently ap-
peared
The war has made big inroads upon
the horse industry in the Old World.
Belgium, the father of the great Belgian
breed of horses. has suffered blow in
the extinction of that breed from which
it will never recover. The raising of
Percheron horses in France has been
made hazardous undertaking. In fact
instead of importing horses the United |
States is actually exporting thousands |

s the type that will demand the most
money in the future. Such horses, free
from blemishes, strong, and we'll devel-
oped will be worth considerable money
in the near future. Such, at least, is
the belief of horse breeders.
Now is the time when every community
should jump into the colt show business,
and encourage the production of horses
of the best type and breeding. There
is no other agency what does as much
to raise the standard of horse breeding
in a locality than a show where colts
sired by different horses can be com
pared. 1t does net take long for the
colt raisers to figure out which stallion
