Mission to St. Louis and Chicago Excursions to this Portion of Missou- ri. Clinton, Mo., Jan. 21, 1889. To Hon. H. W. Salmon, President of Southwest Missouri Immigra tion Society, Clinton, Mo.: Dear Sir:—You are aware that at the recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the Svuthwest Mis- souri Immigration Society, I was in- structed to goto St. Louis, Chicago and other railway centers, if neccs- sary, end see what arrangements, if any, could be made with the rail- roads to run a series of cheap ex- cursions into the territory embraced in the said society, during the com- ing spring. I have complied with that instruction, and beg leave to submit the following report. I FIRS? WENT TO ST. LOUIS, where Isaw Mr. Townsend, Gener- al Passenger Agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad, who has done much already for our organization, and who, as he again declared, was ready and anxious to do all in his power to aid us in the development of the territory belunging to our oi- But he candidly told me that the experience of east:rn ganization. connections during the past year, the excursion business, had been so unsatisfactory that he very seriously doubted the immediate suecess of any effort to get them to renew the experience; but the Missouri Pacific railway was ready to accept any rate over its lines made by initial roads to the east of them. He also advised me to go to Chicago, the headquarters of the Central Passen also headquar- ters of some of their principal east ger Association, anc eru connections, and gather what in formation I could there. T next saw the St. Louis manag - meni of the passeng«r department of the Vandalia line, ini th y were so disgusted with thei: last ycar’s excu sion experience, that th y de- clined to have anything more to do with excursions, unless compelied vo do 80 by competing lines. Inext had a long and pleasant conference with M:. Wishart, the General Passeuger and ticket agent of the ‘Frisco line. He said that jast year Texas and Ark.nsis led him and his eastern conne ions to believe they were goiug t» do an unmense amount of woik to get anmigration to those states, and thereby induced the said roads to make a rate of one fare for the round trip te given points in those states. The said states FAILED TO DO THE WORK they promised and what was expect +d of them, and the result was the ailroads carried their legitimate travel at one-half fare, thereby en- tailing a great loss on them; had their tickets badly scalped, and de- woralized rates in general, from which the roads did not recover the whole year. He expressed his ap- proval of the work done by our so ciety, aud was agreeably surprised at the scope and maguitude of the undertaking. I gave him copies of our literature, with which he was greatly pleased. On my way to Chicago I STOPPED OFF AT SPRINGFIELD, ILL., and had an interview with Mr. A M. Webster, traveling passenger agent of the Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad, who has visited me in my office and who is taking a great deal of interest in our work, from the fact that it has so much of merit to commend it. He said his coud was ready and willing to give us a good send off, if we could get the consent of the Central Passen- ger Association for them to do so. I went from there to Chieago and called on Mr. Snow, the General Pas- senger agent of THE WABASH, which system of roads permeats one of the most fruitful sources of im- | migration for us, and it was to se-{ cure the co-operation of that road, more than any other thing, which | took me to that city. I was courte- ously treated by the gentleman, who expressed his entire willingness to do all he could for us, if chair- | portion of the country was getting | for the Purpose of Securing Cheap | in some work of that character, but | opinion the best thing to dois to go ble action on the petition, in my | he also reminded me of the difficul-|into a givsn territory and secure | ‘ties interposed by the interstate | promises from as many as a car- | commerce law, and recalled the fact, | ius Mr. Newman had done the day previous, of the severe castigation recently given the general passen ger agents by Judge Cooley,who de- clared they not only had no right to run these cheap excursions, but that it was positively illegal. TH CENTRAL TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION, the arbiter of the destinies of all transportation schemes within its jurisdiction. I found viee-Chair- man, George H. Daniels, compara- tively at leisure, and he listened pa- tiently to what I had to say. He then said that ina matter of that sind, he had no authority to take action, but that if I would submit in writing the substance of my mis- sion, he would bring it before the association at their next regular meeting, which will be on the 12th day of February. After this matter had been detei- mined we had a conversation of soie minutes duration, in which he again pointed out to me the dith- culties interposed by the inter-State commerce law. I proposed to him to protect the roads giving us rates from impositic by requiring each g such excursion rate to have the return coupon of his ticket stamped at my office or at the office of the depot agent, at his “Didn't you know that was against the law?” was his re- Then he lengtiy explanation of the abuses individual secu destination. ply to this. went into a that c-cep into a lengthy explana- j tion the p open the abuses that creep into vice through the g cheap excursions, which, in substance, might be sun- zed as follows: “Railways have it to discriminate in favor ot any class of passengers. If the roads make a rate one day in the mouth to points in your country to land buyers, they MAKE THE SAME PERSONS desiring to go there, whatever be their business; and when a rate of this kind is advertised, a large num- ber of people, who would go any- how, defer their trip to the date named for the low rate, buy a round trip ticket to their destination, or as near there as the points enumera- ted in the advertisement will admit, sell the return coupon toa scalper, and thus get their trip fora nomi- nal sum, whereas, but for the low tate excursion, the parties in ques- tion would have paid full fare to the railways for the trip. These return coupons accumulate in the hands of scalpers and breed dissatisfaction and irregularities among the roads, and cause endless confusion and losses*” Isaw a number of other railroad men, but the result in every case was as above detailed, and I deem it unnecesary to multiply instances. Now, in conclusion, I will say that I found the management of the roads considerably depressed over the unsatisfactory results of last year’s work, and decidedly uncom- fortable over the present unsettled condition of railroad matters. I be- lieve the wisest of them to be badly at sea as to what the immediate fu- ture has in store for them. Noone road is at present willing to take the initiative in disturbing rates, the end of which no one could pre- dict. I$found the general passen- ger agents still smarting under the severe castigation recently given them by Judge Cooley, and conse- quently very cautious in their actions. But I also found an undercurrent of strong anxiety on the part of heads of departments to get business for their roads, and many of them would, if they could do So with im- punity, give us a one-fare rate on the basis we ask it, viz.. That we go into the territory and WORK UP A GOOD LOT OF BUSINESS } for a given day in each month. I also beg leave to advise youthat | the matter of asking excursion rates | through the Central Traffic Associa- | tion, as above stated, will be fully —_ formally brought before that of te MUST RATE TO ALL load of peopie to visit our section, and then advise the roads leading thither, that we havethat much new business which can be had at one fare for the round trip, and I am confident the means of handling it on those conditions will be forth- coming. passenger association or Lo passenger association. I would further suggest that this is the first of the year when railroad= like indivipuals, have spasms of retrenchment and reform on them, and it may be neces y to wait a little. One thing is certain, if any- one gets excursions, we will get them, and if no ove gets them we are nearer the immigration centers than our western neighbors, and stand a correspondingly better chance.

M., when he was chosen colonel of the regiment, and he has since been in all councils of the organiza- tion of the state solciery. The ap- pointment will be a popular one with the militia officers all over the state, for the colonel isa progressive man. with age, experience and good judg- ment sufficient to make an excellent officer. He isa native of Michigan and has been a resident of Missouri since 1856, living for a time at Brunswick and Richmond. He has resided at Gallatin for 17 years. Knew Every President. Miss Mary Maccribbin, who died at Washington the other day nearly 100 years old, used to say that she had seen every president from Geo. Washington to Grover Cleveland. She was living in Baltimore in 1812 and saw the bombardment of Fort McHenry. She knew well John H. Payne, the author of “Home, Sweet Home,” and witnessed his first ap- pearnce on the stage at Baltimore. She went to Washington first in 1821, and it took twelve hours by stage.—Evening News.
