Freight Arrangements and the
Pacific Railroads
CHICAGO, Nov. 0. 1T seems to be
definitely settled that the arrangement
previously made. by which the business
to the Pacific Coast is to be taken at the
same rates via all routes, is to be mod
flied. The understanding is now that
the Central Pacific and Northern Pa
cific are to divide the territory. the form
er to control the business to San Fran
cisco and California points, aad the latter
the business to Portland and Oregon and
Washington Territory points, aud thus
the Northern Pacific will have 10 charge
higher rates to San Francisco than the
direct lines, and the San Francisco lines
will charge higher rates to Portland,
Oregon, and Washington Territory
points. This will enable the Central Pa
citic to continue its present contract sys-
tenn in California freight, and will allow
the Northern Pacific to make such con-
tracts as it chooses with shippers at
points within its own territory.
