Good Colorado Manufacturers and Jobbers May Now Ship Into Western Kansas.

The Rocky Mountain News of very recent date, in reporting: the fact that the Rock Island had granted a freight rate reduction of 20 per cent on all plant products shipped from Colorado points east as far as Levant. says that millions of dollars' worth of business, heretofore untouchable, is thrown open to Colorado manufacturers and jobbers. This gives them egress into a section of the country from which they have been debarred by the high rates; it throws open to them the eastern part of Colorado, and gives that part of the state an opportunity to take its part in the home industry movement. The announcement of the horizontal reduction of 20 per cent was made by G. W.

Martin, general agent for the Rock Island. The Rock Island's move will cause all the other roads to throw down the bars, and it is therefore the most Important announcement to Colorado manufacturers and Jobbers which has emanated from a railroad office in many years, declares the News. Thomas C. Scott, traffic manager of the Colorado Manufacturers' associa tion. Is given the credit for this new condition of affairs.

He worked un tiringly to secure, and never gave ud. even when hope of getting it seemed small. The Rock Island is also to be complimented for its progressiveness, and will undoubtedly reap a harvest of business as a result. The reduction covers all plant pro ducts, and goes, "into effect on legal notice. The effect of it will be to give Den ver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo Jobbers and manufacturers access to a territory which has always been closed to them.

Eastern manufacturers and Jobbers have been suDDlvine this territory for years, even serving the eastern half or Colorado as a result of the railroad rates which existed. What has gone before is the view of the Rocky Mountan News, and it seems to us here in the western part of Kansas to have been considerably overestimated. The 20 per cent would have been an Important reduction if it had covered all kinds of freight eastbound from Colorado shipping and manufacturing points. Hut re duced to the narrow limit of plant products. It really leaves the Colorado shippers almost as helpless as -before.

The grocery merchants of Goodland say it will have no important bearing on their class of goods, and about the only things that may now be shipped in cheaper would be potatoes, cabbage and onions. But, the cheaper the po tato can be laid down in Goodland from Colorado points, the more se vere would be the competition with the home-grown potato here in western Kansas, which has now reached a point where home production is sufficient for local demand. It is needless to say that the cabbage and onion shipment from Colorado to Goodland would be insignificant In the summer season fresh fruits of various kinds come to Goodland from Colorado points, but this class of products comes by express and cannot be shipped with safety by freight. If the freight rate would apply from Goodland to Denver as well as from Denver to Goodland, it might encourage the grain men to make some shipments to Denver, as the ate under the new schedule would possible be a little under the Kansas City rate or on an even break at least But Denver is not as large a wheat market as Kansas City, and therefore would feel the over-supply the quick er, which might unsteady the price. From these suggestions it can be readily seen that the freight reduction of which the Denver News makes so much, is really incidental to the vol ume of trade and of no importance either to Colorado or western Kansas.

Whipple, who lives Just over the line in Colorado, shot and almost instantly killed Ira Chaffee of Jaqua, near the state line, one mile west of the little town of Jaqua.

This lamentable tragedy seems to have been the culmination of bad blooi which has ex isted between the Chaffee family and the Whipple family for several months. "The stories told by the two sides of the unfortunate affair vary widely, but it is not our province nor present intenton to enter into the merits of the case nor to say anything that might In any way interfere with a fair and impartial trial. rie weapon used was said to be a 40 Winchester. "Immediately after the tragedy Mr. Whipple came to St Francis and sur rendered himself to Sheriff Curry in whose custody he now is, no prosecution having as yet been commenced against him.

E. Chaffee, father of the dead boy, is in town this afternoon and it is probable that an information will be lodged before he goes home. Funeral services over the remains of the dead boy were conducted by Rev. Charles Kolsky at the family home at 3 o'clock Wednesday after noon, interment being made in th-3 Jaqua cemetery. The deceased was 23 years old and leaves a young win and one child to murn his tragic and untimely end." REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
