The D. & z. G. w. is giving good
service this season. In train load lots
stock can transfer and go to Pueblo
for first feed, out Of Gunnison district.
The Mo. Pacific has daily schedule
for any amount of stock Of 80 hours
from Pueblo to Osawatomie, IS miles
from Kansas City; and the Santa Fe
is running rs cars or more from
Pueblo to Emporia within 36 hour
limit. These conditions certainly pro-
tect the stock against excessive shrink
age.
Eastern steer feeders made money
last season and with big corn
crop in the east this year, Kansas City
can expect big feeder demand out of
Ohio. Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan,
Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. In
view Of fact the differential in freight
is small to Kansas City. Gunnison
