AndersOnS Return
From Long Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Anderson, ac-
companied by Miss Anna Carlson
of Minneapolis. cousin of Mrs. An
derson. and Mesdames Mary E.
Potter and Isabelle Burns, of White
Bluffs, returned Saturday from a
thousand mile trip, taking them
around the olympic Peninsula and
various other points of interest.
They visited friends and relatives
day at the Puyallup Fair
and we quote them here: I'VE spent
many hours feasting our eyes on the
western Washington scenery; lofty
virgin pines, colorful landscaping in
parks, municipal power and light
plants, splendid homes and CCC
constructed highways. We stopped
at Crescent Lake, located in the
northern part of the olympic Ma
tional Forest Reserve, the scenery,
where it lies at the foot Of rugged
mountains, reminds one of Switzer-
land. We also had had a real feast
on japanese oysters grown in Hoods
Canal, and these are not excelled
by those grown in the warm waters
of Apalachee Bay in Florida"

Increased Passenger Rates Sought For
New Haven Road President, Howard s. Palmer, Makes
 Recommendation in Annual Report

New Haven, Conn.,, March 29. (UP)-Successful reorganization of the New Haven railroad can be &C., complished only by interstate com- merce commission authorization of increased passenger rates, President Howard s. Palmer said today in his annual report to stockholders.
 Along with other eastern rail- roads, the New Haven petitioned the commission Nov. 5, 1897, to increase fares from two to two and one-half cents mile.
 Simultaneously the roads asked permission to increase freight rates by IS per cent, which was granted early this month, meaning an addi- tional revenue of $2O0,000 a month for the New Haven.
 This increase, however, Palmer said, twill fall far short of increased costs of labor and materials. Pros poets for increased traffic in the immediate future does not look en- couraging. The latest estimate for the first quarter of 1888 indicates a decrease of IS per cent or nearly $3,O00,000 in gross revenue compared with the same period in 1937."
 Regarding the necessity for in- creased passenger fares, Palmer said ''for the past several years the cost of passenger operation has exceeded passenger revenue so that nothing has been earned by that service to pay interest on the cost of present equipment, on the new equipment being purchased, or to apply toward the cost of roadway and building"
 The road, he said, derived Al per cent of its gross revenue in 1887 from passenger operation. as com- pared with 15 per cent from all class I roads in 1886.
 "It is obvious from these facts, Palmer added, that if the New Haven is to be successfully reorgan- ized passenger service must bear its
