The War of Words Concerning Grain Rates

The War of Words Concerning Grain Rates
Increasing in Bitterness.
superintendent Towne, of the Central Pacific
railway, has sent in his protest against the pro-
posed sham reduction of the majority of the
Railroad Commission of California. The minor
aty commissioner moved to throw It In the waste
basket. The San Francisco Chronicle says the
real object of the protest is to supply the two
commissioners, who are the servants of the cor
pOratiOn, with a preteXt for the postponement
of the publication and enforcement of their new
schedule of freight rates till the bulk Of the
years large grain harvest shall have been
shipped by rail to the deep-water markets at the
old extortionate charges.
The Chronicle then adds; "The great grain
carrying roads of the country east of the Rocky
Mountains are the New York Central, the Balti-
more & Ohio, and the Pennsylvania. Not one
of these roads carries more grain than the Cen
trail Pacific system on the average. Not one of
them ever received a dollar of public aid in con
struction. Not one of them has averaged the
charge OF as much as half a cent per ton per mile
within the last four years, during which time
the Central Pacific, hauling more bushels of
grain than any OF them, has averaged rates above
two cents per ton per mile, and according to
TONNES protest, is now charging one and two
thirds cents, or over three and a third times as
much as the above great grain carrying roads
charged three years ago. ltshould be borne in
mind, too, that these Eastern roads traverse a
country far more broken than any of the grain
routesin this State, and requiring more expense
in power to draw one ton than the Central Pacific
uses for TWO TONS"
Sale of the Southeastern Road of Canada.
NEW YORK, Aug. "a Post special from Mont
real says the Southeastern railroad was pur-
chased to-day from Bradley Barlow by a syndi-
cate composed of George D. Chapman, of the
National Construction Company, of New Jersey,
Ashley Hiboard and Waller Stanley. of Mont
real, and James Mitchell, of London, England 4,
for $3,900,0 900 cash. This will leave Barlow a
surplus of about %$350,0OO after paying off all
his liabilities, including 81 400 900 to the Cana
dian Pacific road. This sale Is considered a
big "euchre" on the Canadian Pacific COM
pany, who supposed they controlled the
southeastern road, ana cuts off their
only connection with Boston and Atlantic ports.
The purchasing syndicate 10 believed to repre-
sent the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont in
terests, as Hubbard has been working against
the Canadian Pacific all along. Chapman is
here, and Mcintyre and Stephen, of the Cana
dian Pacific, have left for New York to inter
view Barlow.

sued seventy-four acquisitions upon the
Governors of different States for the

country editors which it seems was
written to show up particularly the Ar
