At WAR FOR MAIL CONTRACT.

c. a N. w. and c. g. w. Striving For
Chicago. Dee Moines Business.
Des Moines, April 2. - The Great
Western railroad has won the latest
period of many round bout between
two railroads for the privilege of haul
ing the morning Chicago mail to Des
Moines. More important to the city
than the railroad fight ID the fact that
as a result OF the battle iocsii Chicago
mail will be distributed both to busi~
ness and residence sections on the first
morning delivery soon, instead of the
second morning delivery or in the aft
ernoon.
Previous to nine months ago the city
received its Chicago mail on the first
delivery, the Northwestern landing 1T
here from the transfer At Ames at
$3.50 o'clock. Then the Northwestern
changed the schedule, so that the let
ters did not get here until 1880 o'clock
too late to be worked for the first
delivery.
Prompt movement of the Chicago
mail is important to business houses.
so the chamber Of commerce took the
matter Of delayed service up with the
postoffice department. The second as
sistant postmaster general lately is
sued an order transferring the mail
to the Great Western at Marshalltown.
the Northwestern to pay the transfer
charges. Under this order mail would
have arrived here at 1920 o'clock.
The Northwestern did not like this
arrangement, It informed the post
office department 1t would see to get
ting the mail to Des Moines at 7:15
o'clock. The Great Western immedi-
ately followed suit with an offer to
change the time Of It's Marshalltown-
Des Moines train so that the train
would arrive here at Z o'clock.
It Is at this point that the contro-
versy now stands. The Great West
ern, to install this service, wishes per-
mission to allow its train to stand at
the union station fifteen minutes long
'er than at present, and the Des Moines
Union railroad now is considering the
request.
Gels Botsford, secretary of the
chamber OF commerce, doesn't believe
the fight is over yet. The Northwest
ern doesn't want to lose that mail con-
tract, and will come back to the satis-

Analysis Of Profits.
This analysts 81 the profits which are
realized right along on American busi-
ness Is given as an encouraging sign.
Some other interesting paragraphs
are:
considering the great war, as well
as the several smaller wars or re-
bellions which are now taking place,
the cost of things has been held down,
and commodity prices generally have
not taken the upward shoot which was
SO freely predicted. Prices are little,
II any, higher than they were at the
beginning Of 1913 and only slightly
higher than they were during the latter
part Of 1912. The retail prices OF those
things classed as provisions are lower
than for years. The slowing down OF
wheat exports will probably help to
reduce the price Of -four and living ex-
penses can hardly be complained OF IN
view of other conditions"
Some wage reductions have oc-
CURED and others are threatened, but
these reductions, when made, are not
large and are quite in line with the
selling prices Of manufactured prod
acts. In lines stimulated by the war,
some material wage advances have
been made, notably by q leading
powder manufacturer.
Congress has adjourned, an extra
session is unlikely, and good rest
from the weekly scares Of threat
ened business-regulating legislation
will naturally tend to promote the gen.
eral Improvement. The personnel OF
the recently announced federal trade
commission seems quite satisfactory
and the personnel Of the committee ap-
pointed by the national chamber OF

Grad trade commission. augurs well for
the business interests OF the country,
