RATES ON TRAIALOAD
LOTS or FEEDER CATTLE
MAY Be Increased

rotary Miller, Of the New Mexico Cat
tie & Horse Growers association, has
recently been advised by T. w. Tom
linscn, of the American National 1--we
stock association, OF a proposed in
crease IN the present rates on train
load lots Of feeder cattle, between
points in New Mexico and points to
the northwest, and common points in
California.
In the past the railroad has given a
lower rate on shipments Of Is cars or
more, which is known as multiple car
load lot rates. In an order OF the in
terstate commerce commission No.
5000 the common caryiers are re-
duired to show cause, before October
1, why an order shall not be entered
requiring them to cease publishing
tariffs for rates applicable only on
car lots or Of certain quantities in
excess of a single ar.
Practically all the movements OF
feeder cattle between this state and
California are in trainload lots. A
single instance win serve to demon
strate what the adjustment of multi
pie carload rates will mean to the
shippers to California points.
THE preesnt rate from Magdalena
or Deming to Bakersfield, Calf, on a
single 36-ft. car is $150.45. Where Is
carG or more are included in one ship
ment the rate is $91.55.
Mr.. Miller has taken the matter up
with the Santa Re lines. the state cor.
poration commission and the inter
state commerce commission, to ascer-
tain on what basis the rates Will be
readjusted; and if unfaVorable to live
stock shippers of this state to the
northwest and points III California,
what steps must be taken to protect
the interests his association represents.
He is advised by Mr.. Van Slyck, as
general live stock agent of the
Santa Fe for this territory, that he is
a. yet ignorant Of the action that his
lines will take. 1t is a well known
fact that the Interstate commerce
commission frowns upon the practice

on wholesale quantities. ii the

days before starting out. and that
then he went into the little town and
purchased a pair Of overaIls. He be-
came suspicious when the merchant
eyed him closely, and, when the fugi-
tive saw him ~conversing with several
bystanders, believed that they were
planning his capture, he fled to the
hills once more, where he hid out for
another day. He then caught a
freight train on the Santa Fe railway
going north. He left the train at
Belen and crossed over to Gallup,
where he secured work with a road
gang. He remained for several
months, but the fear Of being detected
preyed SO strongly on his mind, that
he left and worked his way west to
the coast. He barely escaped capture
at several points in California, and
after visiting his sister in Los An
geles, went to Reno. He was waiting
there the arrival Of a suit case from
his sister, when he was picked up as a
suspect who was wanted for forgery.
He proved to be the right man and it
was there that it was learned he was
wanted in Deming for a similar Of

With salaries of all employees due,
the city had only little over $4,000

the city could not legally borrow any
