suit in large increases in the move
ment of traffic through Winnie

100 cars Of new traffic daily, these
to carry coal to points west Of here.
This business will be supplied by
the Denver and Rio Grande rail-
road.
This news has created elation in
the minds of Western Pacific en-
ployes in this city, who have been
working short time lately, for 100
cars of new traffic daily means the
regular employment of at least four
crews out of this city.
The Southern Pacific station Off
cials have also noted increases in
the passage of transcontinental
business during late days. Among
the freight going west in increasing
tonnage is livestock. A train of
81 cars of Wyoming cattle passed

PRESIDENT IS GIVEN
POWER OVER CABLES

Operation of cables between the
United States and other countries
woqld be permissible only under
liceD Sc from the President, under
terms OF a bill just passed by the
Senate.
The bill. drawn by Senator KeI-
lOgg. is an outgrowth of the dis
pute between the government and
the Western Union, over landing a
cable in Florida. 1t makes clear
the right of the government to
prevent a landing. and authorizes
the use of force if this is necessary.
. The Senator read a letter from
the ? American manager of La
PTensa. a large South American
daily. published at Buenos Aires,
stating that because of cable IA
cflities only 300 words daily of
American news could be received.
whereas the paper would be glad
to get from 5000 to 5000 words
daily.

The terms of this offer are far

is not likely to be so pressing.
than to owe the more belligerent
and impatient nations-particularly
France.
