Traffic Bureau Has
Collected $4,000 in
0vercharges in Year

Overcharges exceeding t6.0oO were coll
iected from the railroads in Omaha by
the auditing department of the traffic
bureau OF the Commercial club during
1915.
since the law requiring all railroad
tariffs to be published and strictly adj
hercd to. the number Of tariffs has
Enormously increased. and the use OF them
FOR obtaining specific rates has been
complicated accordingly The over
charges which the traffic bureau has
been busy adjusting for its customers
eth the railways are due to the APP
plication OF wrong tariffs between va
.ious points.
The railway employees themselves are
not as familiar with their own tariffs as
hey might be, and this is why so many
1vercharges occur.
Not only has the bureau been busy
collecting rebates on overcharges. but
= has been busy quoting rates to all
members of the bureau who ask for
quotations on given commodities between
owen points.

St. Joseph Stock Market

The following article appeared in
the St. Joseph Stock Yards
journal. under date of November
Is. The B. F. johnson referred
to is Mr.. Frank johnson, who has
sold his farm east of Purdin, and
is now living in Linneus.
b. F. johnson, one of Linn
county's oldest and most highly
respected stock raiser and farmer
had a three car consignment of
stock cattle here today, which were
fed on his big farm, close to
Purdin. This is the first shipment
of stock Mr.. johnson has ever
made to the st. Joseph market,
and while our market was con-
siderably lower, Mr.. johnson said
that the price he had received was
highly satisfactory, and fully as
much as he had expected for them
when he loaded them on the cars
at Purdin, Missouri"
The cattle referred to above were
sold on the St. Joseph market by
the Cooper & Windle Commission
Co., who seem to be getting many
shipments from Linn county. We
might also say that Verne Brown,
who was born and raised at
Purdin, is with the Cooper &
Windle Commission Co.

The residence Of Mrs. Al. James,
colored, was destroyed BY fire
Wednesday afternoon. The fire
originated in the attic and had
such a start when discovered that
the building could not be saved.
There was no one at home at the
time and only a part of the con.
tents were saved. 1t was the
best house in the colored settle
ment and its destruction is heavy
loss to the family as they carried
no insurance.
