But even at that, the league will not
lack opposition. The Seattle and Port

many customers from the organized

In Dire Distress.

For some months it has been
limited on the quiet that there was
fear the Short line Railroad would
be junked. On account of the war,
the people being in such a strain
and anxiety no special attention
was given. A few months ago the
men of the Perry Branch and main
line struck for higher wages The
difference was apparently adjusted
the men were granted higher
wages and a contract entered into
to pay back wages. For some
reasons the back wages had not all
been paid. and the men went out
again Sunday-the last train ran
by the regular men was on Sunday
afternoon. Mr.. Modisett, manager
of the road, Mr.. Smith, master
mechanic and Mr.. Dent road mas
ter took a train out to New London
Sunday evening and took seven
car loads of stock to Hannibal and
turned them over to the Burline-
ton railroad Also train was run
down the main line Tuesday, after
some stock. The last account we
had yesterday no adjustment had
been made.
About as near as we can get at
the situation, is that the railroad
company had been offered $5OO,OOO
for the rolling stock. rails. ties. etc.,
from a junkine company. The
owners of the road have offered to
take $450,OO0 for the same, and an
effort has been made to sell the
road to people along the road. So
for nothing has been accomplished
in a business like manner. The
people are so daZed over the matter
they hardly know what to do. With
the large liberty loans, high cost Of
living and unsettled conditions ON
account OF the war the problem is
hard one. Business is at stand
still at towns along the line that
depend on the railroad to carry the
mail and freieht.-Perry Enter
