Two Vavmncies
Two vacancies on tha interstate
commission will arise in Deaember
and appointments are expected to be
made by the president soon after con

Falla man throughout the state am
urging his appointment to Um com

familiarity with conditions in fee ia

vet recommendation.
At the present time, the interra^un
tain territory, including stales streak
ing from Montana î (o the Mexican
border, have no representation «on the
big rate making body. This, say Mr.
Dennis' friends, is a condition which
the president has an opportunity to
correct and add to their argument by
pointing out that a big percentage tot
the nation's rail mileage lies within
the iotormountain territory an<L that
the 7JM0R60 people residents therein
