Chicago 4 Great Western VIII
Try Out an Experiment in
Missouri Towns.
AGENTS TO Be ST0REKEEpERS
Three Stations to Be Stocked with
Merchandise at Once Under
the New Plan.

The Chicago & Great Western Rail
road will make its country railroad
stations country stores. Charles r
Berry, assistant to the vice president
announced that, as an experiment, q
full stock of merchandise has been or
dered for stores at Woodruff, West
Platte and New Market, Mo-, in the
Bee Creek Valley. If the plan proves
q success it will be followed at other
towns.
The object, according to Mr.. Berry,
is to increase the business of the rail-
road In towns where at present there
is perhaps only one general store, or
none at all, and to provide better Oc-
cupation for the station agents, who at
present have little to do.
It will also increase their income,
make their services of more value to
the road and give the agent a better
standing in the community, Mr.. Berry
says.
A full stock of merchandise, such as
is handled by the usual general store
in small towns, will be kept, and with
the backing of the railroad the stores
will offer lively competition for the
big mail-order houses.
The system OF using railroad sta
lions for general stores has been dem
onstrated success by the Kansas

has been operating stores at several

The suit brought by st. Joseph a

St. Joseph Gas Company annulled, has
been decided against the city by Cir.

that the gas company forfeited its
franchise when 1t undertook the dis.

was to force the company into a new
contract whereby the rate for such
manufactured gas as might be sup
piled would be less than one dollar a
