PASSENGER TRAFFIC
HEAVY AT PRESENT

East bound trains through Ottumwa
from Colorado and other points in the
west have been filled to capacity during
the past few days. Some of the trains
have been run in two sections. The rail-
roads state that the traffic is no heavier
now than is generally the rule at this
time Of year when vacationists are re-
turning home, but it is thought by many
that the likelihood Of general railroad
strike has caused the tourists to make
a rush for home before the order of the
railroad brotherhoods becomes effective.
