A St. P. That road has decided to provide transportation to cattle shippers on return trips as’well as on outgoing journeys. For years it has been customary for railroads to furnish free trans portation for return trips to ship pers of cattle on western lines. The first of the preseut year, how ever, the roads entered into an agreement whereby transportation one way only was provided. Re turn trips were charged for at reg ular passenger rates, according to the agreement. The decision caused a vigorous and prolonged protest ou the part of the cattlemen, who have persist ed in their demands for the restora tion of the old system. The plan consumed a large per cent of their profits, they insisted. For a time the roads were em phatic in their assertions that the old system had been abolished per manently and that free transporta tion would not be restored.

Since Canyon City and John Day atheletes are already in prac tice for a tract meet and a baseball tournament with Burns and other neighboring points it behooves our atheletes to get together and orga nize. We have always been ready to meet with our neighbors and ex tend hospitality when we could induce them to come to our city where they have received the best we could give them in a social way, but our teams have never been in “the pink of condition” and have therefore not carried off the honors as is their privelege and ability to warrant. Our boys are all enthusiastic and hospitable, but don’t seem to get in and do the hard practice necessary to make them the pennant winners. THE PLACE ? Durkbeimer Building.
