The travel over the St. Paul g. Man

heavy as to make it necessary to put on
extra sleeping cars, and, in few days,
as soon as arrangements can be COM
pleted, a second daily train will be added

The reported sale of the Minneapolis Sc
St. Louis road to the Northern Pacific
seems likely to eliminate tomorrow.
| Messrs. E. B. and W. d. Washburn will
| be in New York tomorrow and Messrs
Bodie, general freight agent and Hudson,
superintendent, left here yesterday to
participate in concluding the arrange
| ments.
| Inquiry at the railroad offices in st.
Paul has developed the fact that no per-
ported purchase Of the Minneapolis s. st.
| Mr.. George Hazard, the aGent in St.
Paul of the former road, does not believe
there is a word of truth in the report, and
calls to mind the fact that Mr. Washburn
is constitutionally opposed to selling cut
this road to any through line.
! The report of Mr.. Leonard B. Hodges
to the directors Of the Northern Pacific,
in regard to tree planting along the line
Of that road, met with a very favorable
reception and was adopted unanimously
| by them, and he has been instructed to
| get to work as soon as possible and crowd
| the business of tree planting along with
| the utmost energy. The plan proposed
IS to plant large quantities of trees on
the north side of the track
where the cuts are, and also
one or two rows on the south side OF The
cuts. Mr.. Hodges will go to work I'M
mediately, and will see to it that the work
| of planting is pressed forward with dill
gence. The job is big one, and it will
require number of years to cover the
ground with trees where they are now
needed.
The Chicago, Portage d Superior Railroad
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Judge Tuley, OF the SUI
perior court, to-day upon application of +. r.
Cable. president of the Chicago, Rock Island
| & Pacific railroad, granted a temporary in
| junction restraining the Chicago, Portage 65
| Superior railroad company from holding meet
| ings or issuing new bonds. The injunction
| bears directly upon the recent struggle for
ownership OF this important connection.
| The railroads terminating in Chicago make
a strong protest against the action of the Hi
! nols railroad and warehouse commission in
| abOlishing the terminal rates of cents per 100
| pounds on grain received here, and say they
| viii fight the provision, as it would, if en-
| forced, compel them to give up the grain
! trade, since their tracks would be covered with
| grain laden ears brought to be sold by sam
pie.
