Spens of Omaha, general freight agent of the Burlington route, has re- turned from Denver, where he was a cen- tral figure in 'a four days' hearing before the Interstate Commerce commission. Small coal operators in the Walsenburg coal fields, south of Pueblo Colo., peti- tioned the Interstate Commerce commis- slon to reduce the rate on coal to Ne- braska and Kansas points. The coal dealers seek a rate of $3.25 to inland points in the two states and a rate of $3.40 to the Missour! river in lieu of the present rate of $376. Mr. Spens was on the stand considerable of the time during the hearing In Denver, presenting the rallroad side of the ques- tion. It will be some time before a de- vision is reached. Burlington raliroad officlals are prepar- ing a report of frelght business transacted through the Omaha offices during the last five years, which, it is sald, will show a wonderful growth in the freight traffic over the preceding five years. It is estimated that the freight business has inereased in Omaha 120 per cent during the last five years, according to a rail- road man. The amount of business over the Burlington lines in Omaha is greater than that of any other eity on the rall- road. F. A.

She declded to start next day after learn- Ing we could get the house, and bluntly told me I could stay in Calfornla if [ wanted to.
