gon, are on their way to st. Paul.
Thomas McGill, western agent of the
Central Railroad and Banking company Of

The name of the new auditor and local

The Northern Pacific transported to
Duluth 207 cars of wheat and to Mime
apolis. The st. Paul & Manitoba road
moved 209 cars of grain yesterday.
Mr.. Hiland was very low Tuesday night,
but his condition yesterday was consider
ed as considerably improved. He was
easier and hopes were entertained that he
would recover.
Mr.. Fee, assistant superintendent of
passenger traffic of the Northern Pacific
road, has changed his Office to the south
east corner of the general headquarters
building of the road.
The Chicago & Northwestern road has
issued circular dated on the 18th of Sep
TENDER, which states that the joint tariff,
dated April 1, 1888, in connection with
steamboat lines on Missouri river, between
Chicago. Milwaukee, Racine, Racine juno
ton or Kenosha and Pierre Dakota, on bust
ness to and from trading posts and points
on Missouri river above Pierre and below
Bismarck, is hereby withdrawn and can
celed.
Mr.. Geo. K, Barnes general ticket agent
of the Northern Pacific 70 ad has issued a
circular directed to all connecting lines
setting forth the rates in force between st
Paul and other points in Minnesota and
all principal points in Washington and
Oregon territories, British Columbia and
San Francisco. Mr.. Barnes, in this circu-
lar call the attention of all connecting lines
to the fact that Portland and San Fran
cisco rates are alike.
It is not yet certain that Mr.. John @.
Gault will be the commissioner of the new
California pool of the Pacifc.roads. He
has notified the officials of the roads of his
willingness to accept the position, pro-
vided he need not make his headquarters
at San Francisco, his wife's health not
permitting her to reside on the Pacific
coast. So far Mr. Gault has not heard
from the officials of the Pacific roads, and
it is understood that the Union and Gen.
trail Pacific desire to have the Office of the
commissioner in San Francisco. If MIR.
Gault declines the position it is quite like
~ that it will be rendered to Mr.. G. @.
Wheeler, late general manager of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe. But it is by no
means certain that Mr.. Wheeler would be
any more willing to move to San Francisco
than Mr.. Gault.
The railway project in the northwest
which is now attracting most attention is
that of building a road from some point
on the Union Pacific into the Yellowstone

ing syndicate of New York, Boston and
English capitalists, who started out some
weeks ago to survey such route from
some point on the Union Pacific between
Cheyenne and Rawlins, have been heard
from at Fort Washable. They are picking
out route $50 miles in length which will
open up the oil and soda regions of Wyo-
ming on It's way north, and they report
they find the route excellent, and are
pushing forward for the Yellowstone. An
| Omaha capitalist, who is indirectly inter
ested, declared that the road will be built
next season.
Winnipeg Free Press: Mr.. j. r. Grant,
| Of Brussels, Ont, has just returned from
an extended trip through the Rocky noun
tains by the way of Kicking Horse pass.
He describes the railway route as compar-
lively easy Of construction from Padmore
to the summit, and passing through some
of the grandest scenery anywhere to be
found, The exact location beyond the
summit is not fixed yet, but the engineers
are busily engaged on the work, and their
decision will soon be known, meantime
work is progressing upon both the Kick
ing Horse and Howse passes that no time
may be lost. The grading is fast approach
ing the summit, which point it is expected
will be reached with the iron this year. He
states that the mountains are full of pros
pectors for gold, silver and coal, and that
already many promising locations have
been staked out. He went some distance
into British Columbia, and returns en-
chanted with his trip.
What a picture of one of the most strik-
ing features of modern life is afforded by
the simple statement that no fewer than
1920 trains leave the stations of London
every twenty -four hours. Every hour be-
tween 10 in the morning and II at night
1900 trains start for the various railway
termini in London-that is, at the rate of
120 and more every hour, or two minute,
all day long, not including the trains on
the Metropolitan and Metropolitan district.
Of the 1920 trains dispatched daily, 1850
serve the suburbs and a suburban region
of thirty miles around the city. Fifteen
leave for Scotland and Ireland and sixteen
