Jackson, Miss, Jan. Secretary
James Calceran, of the railroad COM
mission gets inquiries from many near
ard far away places regarding rates
ard railroad matters, and the hum of
his typewriter can be heard at all

orally pretty long one.
Yesterday Mr. Calceran received a
letter from ]. r. Barry, district engi-
neer of the La2una district, Los Banos,
Philippine Islands, asking him to send
at once copies of rates approved by
the Mississippi railroad commission
for such materials as gravel, crushed
stone and road building material in
general. 1t will be used before the
public utilities commission of the Phil
ippines to secure a reduction of rates
by rail of gravel, etc.
Mr.. Barry formerly resided in La
fayette county, Mississippi, and en-
closed his personal card in his letter,
on he reverse side of which he wrote
short note sending his regards to
Gov. Brewer, Commissioner of Agricul
ture Blakeslee and State Auditor Dun
can Z. Thompson.
Mr.. Calceran also has a request
! from government men at Honolulu in
the Hawaii asking for copies of Mis-
sisippi laws governing public service
corporations.

Mr.. Calceran, and added, ''it is hard t.
