RAILROAD NOTES

Temporarily business is light with
the Santa Fe with scarcely no oil
or merchandise moving. However,
business is always light at this sea-
son of the year with that road. About
the middle OF December each year
business begins to drop off with
scarcely no merchandise moving un-
i'll about the middle of January.
This is due to the fact that mcr-
chants always order their Christmas
goods early and in most instances
delivery is made before the middle
OF December. Ordinarily no more
goods are ordered until after the
holidays and the orders commence
to arrive about the middle Of Ian
uary.

Effective on December ~ the cot
ton congresses were allowed IS
cents per hundred on compressed
bales instead of the old rate OF 10
cents. This makes an average Of
IS cents per bale on all cotton COM
pressed. This allowance is made by
the railroad companies to the COM
presses as an appreciation OF services
rendered, as by COMPRISING the
bales the transportation companies
can transport many thousands OF
pounds more cotton than was pos
sible before the advent OF the COM
press.

Regular overland service is pro- vided for the supply of Interior points of a frequency considered reasonably adequate for the points involved, especially in view of the expensive rate at which the supply is maintained because of the nature of the conditions of travel encount- cred.
 With respect to the freight ami express features referred to in your communication as being objection able, it is not understood how the mails could be more expeditiously handled under contract service as such contracts would necessarily be made with the carriers now handling the mails by freight and express, and the majority of the companies operating boats to the Alaskan coast refused to enter into contract for service unless it was stipulated in the agreements that the mails should be carried on only such trips as the steamers were operated under the:r regular traffic schedules.

CLUB WILL TAKE
 FURTHER ACTION
 REGARDING MAIL

The matter of the shipment of mails to Alaska by freight instead of in the usual manner was discussed at the Nenana Commercial club at a previous meeting, and at the meet ing held last night Secretary Joseph read a communication from Second Assistant Postmaster General Otto Praeger. which was addressed to the club in reply to a letter of protest forwarded to the department some time ago.

mand.
Leichtenstein has an area of sixty
five SQUARE miles, and in 1912 had a
population of 10,716. 1t lies between
Switzerland and German-Austria. The
state made war on Prussia in the Sch

arrogantlv overlooked the tiny state s
