terday when James s. McCandless re-
ceived cablegram from Harry Maun-
drell, chairman of the knight Tenn
plars transportation committee, in
which It was concisely stated:
Coming IL Great Northern comes
The cablegram was in response to
one which Mr.. McCandless had sent

son for sending the cablegram
