In announcing the arrangement Chair- 

 man S. F. Leonard, whose address is 

 226 West Kinzie street, Chicago, says: 



"The^ipresldent, Lester L. Morse, Is hoping for 

 a large attendance at this convention and urges 

 the transportation committee to get this official 

 schedule out early. This is done so that the 

 members and their friends will have plenty of 

 time to arrange for the trip. The return Journey 

 may be made by each individual or group as he 

 or they see fit, but it will be necessary to name 

 the return route at the time of purchasing the 

 tickets in order to get the reduced rates. The 

 committee desires to hear from the members as 

 soon as convenient and trusts that a large num- 

 ber will avail themselves of the Santa Fe special 

 from Chicago as per Itinerary."

H. W. Buckbee, Rockford, 111., has 

 installed an electric letter cutter to 

 facilitate the opening of mail, which 

 is ahead of last year at this time, both 

 in volume and value. 



The Cherry Seed Co. is sharing in 

 the general rush, while Condon Bros., 

 who judge from the way their com- 

 mission seeds are going, believe there 

 will be a big shortage of stock before 

 the season is over. 



R. H. Shumway, Rockford, 111., says 

 the total volume of mail orders for 

 January, February and early March is 

 ahead of last year, which was the 

 banner season. At the time of writing 

 this note, March 10, the total stood at 

 70,000 orders, 2,500 orders today. A 

 curious circumstance is that a large 

 proportion come from Pennsylvania. 

 The veteran head of the house, seventy- 

 three years on this busy sphere, forty- 

 five of them spent right here, takes 

 delight in assisting in opening the mail 

 and says there is something fascinating 

 about it. He predicts a prosperous 

 season for all. W. M. 



BEFUNDS ORDERED. 



The Interstate Commerce Commis- 

 fiion has flirected the Chicago, Rock

 Rock, Ark., to Detroit. The Oregon 

 Short Line railroad has been ordered

 Greene, N. Y., because of excess freight 

 charges on peaa from Anthony, Idaho,
