tions for the lease of the West Shore to
the Grand Trunk have reached a point
where the questions at issue are of second
airy Importance, and the lease is likely to
be consummatsd. The points of most in
terest to the public in this are that the
Grand Trunk Is to guarantee West Shore
bonds, and also that with this connection
to New York the Grand Trunk will aban-
don its former attitude of antagonism to
the trunk lines and become one of it's firm
supporters.

Rock Island & Pacific. Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, and Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroads have established per-
manent rate from Des Moines to Chicago

A general circular from the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paups freight depart

reached by the St. Paul line, and instructs
them to hereafter note on the back and
face of all way bills covering the class OF
shipn ents referred to, naming junction
point at which the shipment leaves this
line and naming lines over which the prop
erty ID to pass in reaching destination.
Milwaukee Sentinel: The ST. Paul local
Ticket AGENTS. asseciation is the occasion
of more life and excitement then are all
the mighty Chicago associations together.
The st. Paul association was formed with
view-to all appearance--of putting q
stop to rate cutting. First one road would
complain that its competitor was Offering
tickets for less than illegal rates. and
soon the competitor would fire back the
same complaint at another road, until, in

seems that fully as many scalps are being
captured now as before, and the case
brought up by No. rs complaint against
No. is no sooner settled than No. has
grievances against No. L. Thus they con-

busy at making $50 assessments on agents,
that amount having been decided upon as
fine for violation OF the associations
agreements.
