ABANDON THROUGH CARS i A False Report Corrected
Chicago Sept 14 Failure to j Qn Juy 25 191j an unsgneci
agree on tne division oi passen
ger fares to California cities re
sulted today in the announcement
that through cars to San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles on the Chi
cago Burlington Quiney and
the Chicago Rock Island Pa
cific lines will be abandoned on
September 19 so far as connec
tion with the Western Pacific
Southern Pacific and the San
Pedro Los Angeles Salt Lake
City lines are concerned These
cars will be hauled to Ogden or
Salt Lake and there the passen
gers will be rerpiired to change
The order came at a time when
coast travel will be the heaviest
of the year as the fall colonist
rates will go into effect tomor
row
It was said today the question
of division may be submitted to
the interstate commerce commis
sion for settlement Meanwhile
officials here and at St Louis
will send their cars only as far as
Utah points
The Missouri river fare to the
coast is 50 while the local rates
are 30 to Ogden and 235S
from Ogden to San Francisco
The latter rate was established
by the interstate commerce com
mission a year ago
The roads formerly had divid
ed on a 50 per cent basis but af
ter the cut eastern roads want
ed a division on a basis of 28
for them and 22 for the roads
west of Utah Chicago dispatch
Short On Ice
The Lincoln Omaha and Wy
more divisions of the Burlington
have been facing an ice famine
For several weeks it has been
almost impossible for the com
pany lo secure enough ice fcr its
lvrngeraror cars Tne company a
ice supply has been exhausted
and ice is being purchased in th
open market Conditions have
been worse in Kansas City where
the railroad has found it impos
sible to buy ice from the com
panies manufacturing articifial
ice
The demand for ice has beei
so great
that the ice companies
have had all they could do to
supply individual ice consumers
At times ice has been shipped
from Lincoln and Omaha to Kan
sas City but enough cannot be se
cured in these cities to supply
the demand The railroad is now
trying to contract for ice to be
shipped to Kansas City from St
Paul Minn Difficulty has been
experienced in securing enough
ice in Lincoln to take care of the
refrigerator business at times un
til within the last few days
since the weather turned cooler
A contract was then made with
the Beatrice Creamery company
for three cars a day Lincoln

A sidewalk has been laid on the
south side of the city park which
is now surrounded on three sides
by fine cement walks the north

document concerning the Interna
tional Harvester Co was receiv
ed by the Stanley Committee ther
investigating the Steel Trust So
erroneous and misleading was
this report that in interest of fair
play and justice to all it called
for a true report of the 1 II Co
its organization in 1902 and its
effect upon the trade since then
On August 10th 1911 a true re
port was handed to this same
Stanley Committee which takes
up the Townsend report in detail
This report first briefly speaks of
the general bankrupt condition oi
all the companies but two mak
ing binders at that time owing
to the ruinous warfare being car
ried on by the binder people at
that time For instance one lo
cal dealer woxdd take his team
and haul a special salesman out
over his territory and perhaps
write a nice bunch of orders only
to find when his goods arrived
that his unscrupulous competitor
had folloAved over the same route
and by misleading statements and
flattering promises had rewritten
all or most of the same men for
some other kind of machine This
unscrupulous work has all been
done away with When a farm
er buys a binder now he is taughj
to believe that he had made an
honorable purchase and instead
of looking for some sharp prac
tice known to all old binder men
the farmer is now often heard to
say Well Ill take that machine
because I know the Internation
aal people will do Avhats right if
anything goes wrong
The socalled Townsend report
says that all but three of these
factories making binders had
shut down and tint the manufac
ture of their binders had been
abandoned This is not true in
any sjnse The factories have
been enlarged and are making mi
merous other kinds of articles
such as gasoline engines cream
harvesters manure spreaders haj
stackers and sweeps etc
If anyone doubts that they can
buy Milwaukee plows or Cham
pion binders let them place a
bona fide order for any amount
from one up Again repairs for
any machine ever built by any oi
the companies forming the Inter
national Harvester Co can be
had on application provided the
machine is not over 20 years old
at which time the repairs become
obsolete it being certain that the
machine is not fit for service
any longer
This report also states that
since the organization of the In
ternational Harvester Co that in
stead of the Townsend report be
ing true in regard to the price of
binding twine just the opposite
has happened as every hardware
dealer and implement dealer who
handles tAvine knoAVS since 1902
the price of tAvine has gradually
gone loAver until Ave find it about
4Y2 or 5 cents per pound loAver
than it then was
It appears also that from 1902
to 1907 the cost of materials sucl
as steel and lumber as well as la
bor have gradually increased
The average being 175 per cent
and that up to this time 1907 no
advance had been made on the
price of binders and moAvers al
tho ploAVs Avagons and such im
plements had been advanced frou
20 to 30 per cent
In 1907 the price of binders
and moAvers Avas raised about 7
per cent the company standing
the other 10 per cent of the in
creased cost of labor and mater
ials
This report also enlightens us
upon the much talked of custom
of selling cheaper in foreign coun
tries than at home The results
of our governments investigation
published in the Daily Consu
lar and trade reports sIioav a
six foot biner sold in 1909 to the
farmer in America for 13500
in Great Britain 13516 in Ger
many 20300 in France 17370
in Denmark 16750 in SAveden
16080 in South Russia 16895
in North Russia 18025 and in
West Siberia 18798 Thus dis
posing of that misrepresentation
Goes Into School Fund
It noAv appears that the excess
in the county treasury from the
old irrigation bonds in WOIoav
Grove and DriftAVood precincts is
not available for any other pur
pose than school uses and that
such excess Avill revert to the
school funds of such precincts It
Avas hoped that the money could
be utilized on the roads of the
precincts mentioned
