George J. Klndel of Denver, Is going to make woolen mill possible for the west. If the Interstate Commerce commission or the railroads can be persuaded to adjust the freight rates, according to those Interested In the wool market In Omaha. Mr. Klndel Is a Denver manufacturer. who has brought many' caaes before the Interstate Commerce commission, with the view to enabling the west to manufacture, as Well as produce. In a letter) to President Roosevelt, Mr. Klndel calls attention to the fact that It costs more to send scoured wool esst than It does to ship woolen good west and any that because of the discrimination In freight rate the two woolen mill in Denver were closed down. He intimate that the same fate await any mill which opens on the Missouri river, unless the policy of the In terstate Commission Is changed. The states of Colorado, New Mexico. Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana have to their credit more than 100,000.000 pounds of wool annually," aays Mr. Klndel. "Why should we not be allowed to manufacture this in the west. "Today the rate on 100 pound of scoured wool from Colorado common point to the Missouri river Is 12.36, while the rate on manufactured woolen from Missouri river points to Colorado points, up hill 4.000 feet, is but 11.25. The rate on manufactured woolens from Denver to Chicago Is 12.06 per hundred weighty while the woolen man ufacturers west bf Denver ship to Chicago for 11.26 per hundred weight." Having fought for an opportunity to manufacture In the west Mr. Klndel de clares his Intention of continuing and hopes to make It possible to have th wool grown In th west made Into goods out here. His first experience was In a mattress factory In Denver, where he found that It cost him more to ship the hair stuffing for mat tresses to Denver than it did the eastern manufacturers to ship mattresses to any Colorado point.'

Other roads are also getting their quota. the Rock Island handling many car through the Omaha gateway and then turning them over to ome other line to be taken to South Dakota. The Rock Island had seventy-five cars behind the high water In southern Nebraska and the cattle had to be unloaded and fed until the water subsided. On the other hand many cars for South Dakota, which formerly wrre moved from the Panhandle through Omaha are now dl verted because of new lines. The North western Is handling a great many over the Pierre, Rapid City line and the Burling ton was moving a large number over the Ashland-Sioux City line, until the bridge went out near Fremont.
