A BREAK IN HIGH RAIL RATE
Eastern Roads Cut Grain Export
-ChazRes- PEE Cen.

Washington, July 2o.-The first
peep-hole through the wall OF. high
freight rates that has confronted the
western grain grower made its APP
pearance today when the eastern rail-
roads announced a voluntary cut in
the rate on export wheat, corn and
rye amounting to approximately as
per cent
The reduced rate goes into effect
only from lake points, such as Buff
falo. to the seaboard, and amounts to
S cents hundred pounds on wheat,
corn and rye, or close to 3 cents a
bushel in the case of wheat.
1t is not sufficient to give any sub
stantial relief to the western wheat
farmer, but it was generally regarded
here as the Inauguration of new pol
icy of the roads which would result in
lower freight rates on export grain At
least. clear back to the terminal mar
kets. If not the farm.
Especially was this believed to be
the case when the formal annoupce-
ment from the association Of railway
executives here stated that adjustment
OF rates from central to eastern terri
tory would be held in Chicago uszt
week.
Should the rate in the central ter
ritory on grain be cut proportiouate-
ly to the slash made BY the eastern
roads. the combined reduction would
reflect very materially in the price the
farmer receives for his grain. +.

ONE HUNDRED AND TEN

The city treasury is fuller this
morning by one hundred and ten dol
lars, due to the fact that Chief John
son and his men brought in eleven
gamblers Saturday night, each of
whom contributed the sum Of ten dol
lars. The following constitute the
eleven: Rob Jackson, Jim Washing
ton, Monroe McClmton, Charleston
Fisher, Clarence Beltcher, Simms
Goodwin, Arthur Mattison, Will
Crawford, Young Kennedy, Turner
Brown and Will Brown, all of the
colored persuasion.
The city came near making it one
hundred and fifteen, and would have
done so had not Arthur Mattison fall
en- down on the job. Saturday night
after he had put up his bond for his
appearance, Arthur appeared again
before Chief Johnson and wanted to
know how much extra it would cost
to keep his name out of the paper.
Arthur didn't mind being caught so
much as having his name harded
around in the paper so that his breth-
rem in the church would know that he
had been in bad company.

the contributors, was before the

BOND MONEY COMING

Chairman Stark of the Highway
Commission informed the Press and
Banner this morning that he had re-

bond purchasers, saying that the
bonds would be printed at once, and
that within a week they would be for
warded here for signature.
AS soon as the bonds are signed,
thew will be sent back to the purchas-
ers, and the money will be forwarded
the Highway Commission. The mon
ey will be received Chairman Stark
thinks within the next two weeks.
Under the terms of the Act Great
ing the Highway. Commission and
authorizing the bond issue, this mon
ey is % be deposited in the banks OF
the county, in amounts proport: 'nafe
to their capital and surplus, so that
ali :he banks will receive a portion OF
the money. The rate of interest which
the banks will pay has not yet been
determined, but it will hkely be as
much as five per cent. as most banks
are offering this much at present for
time deposits.
AS the money will not be used fol-
perhaps two years, that is not all OF
it, the money being paid out only as
the work progresses, this money Will
help the banks to assist their custom
ers somewhat in the way Of advances
Money is badly needed by the farm
ers just now, and good deposits in
the banks were never more welcome
Parties who must have help will do
well to see their banks and make
their wants known.
