Phone No. 177. This move is made absolutely necessary on account of the large amounts we now have on our books. We simply have not cash enough to carry on the credit coal business. When we buy coal we must iy cash for it.

If all our customers would make an effort and pay up old bills, we could continue our coal business on a credit basis. You may think I only owe a few dollars, from three to twenty. This don't look big its true, but when two hundred customers owe above amounts you can readily see it is a big sum on our books. This rule will only apply to coal, as all other items will be sold as in this past.

II. Harriman, aided in securing the return of the land. There is valauble mineral land said to be worth $50,000,000 still held by the railroads that ihe Goverment is seeking to get back. It gave the Pacific roads immense tracts of land, but they seem to have taken a good deal which was not given. It is also said that they did not conform to the grants.

Instead of taking each alternate section as given, they selected land, espoci-aly mineral land, and entered it as agricultural, and left the worthless tracts. The thanks of the country are due Mrs. Harriman for her efforts to right the wrong, as well as for her large gifts of land near the Hudson river for a public park. Elm Creek. Mrs.
