Haven'tyou noticed how the K , .
R.Co. stuft's a freight bill : pile up
weight far exceeding the actual
weight ? Last week w.e got our
freight billed at 100 Ibs. and an
other package weighing ( i5 Ibs. but
the two together was listed at ISO
Ibs. and we had'to pay the bill or
declare war and as we-couldn't go
to war for 15 Ibs. we paid the bill.
This is a loss to us of about 12
it cents. Seems small , but when an' '
over charge is frequently made
on over weight there is something
at least to kick about. Our legis
lature might make a law requiring
a railway company to correctly
list weight or stand ready to cor
rect the bill at any time attention
is. called to an over charge with a
modest penalty attached to pay
for the trouble of complaining.
! Mr. Barnes of the Phelps Photo
Co. has made an appointment with
the graduating class of the high
scHdol to be here oa May 26th and
uake the class picture. The class
is to be congratulated on securing
the services of so good a workman
v r' and we predict lhe ! results as"a
