Dakota's Big Farms.

From Voices of the Street" In Sundays Pio.
neer Press. e. ~ ~ ...4* @s...a5 zZ- i Z:
Bonanza farming has ceased to be
either a pastime or an advertisement.
We lsar very little about The huge Dal.
rymple or Grandin farms nowadays, and
the future will know still less about
them. There was a great attraction to
newspapers photographers FIVE years ago
in the stories of hun dreds Of plowing
abreast, and burrows miles long, Many
a good magazine article was written
about the big farms, and for. a:matter of
some $4,000 invested by the real parties
in interhst the advertisement sold mil.
lioas Of acres of land for the railroads.
Buyers were not deceived in the value of
these lands. They generally sold again
and doubled their money. Those who
farmed their purchases have done well.
But the big farms were too much Of
a good thing. Nr. Grandlib's ieuten-
ant, Mr. Hague, is coming to St Paul,
and ;,.Grandin prefers to sell his land and
invest. in Fargo business blocks: he
Dalrynple farm will, sooner or later,
break up into small farms. The only
thing that can possibly hold the big
farms together is a successful Use Of
Steam for traction PURPOSES The waste
Of many teams of horses, big barns, nu-
merous farm stations, Hud the useless
ness Of the whole outfit Of tools and live
during large share 0! the year, explain
why bonanza farming does not pay. The
needs of a family on the small farm give
excuse for diversifying crops and MAX
ing the corners and edges count. | he
}icve "a old miller told nae the secret of
successful bonanza farming the other
day. He said: az am too cid and lazy
to experiment with my own ideas; but
if | were going to farm Red river land,
which l know, by all the evidence any
sane man wants, is Ike best TO be had in
this country, should farm a good deel
as I hunt. wouldn't build a barn or
drive a nail. All that is necessary is to
put up good stout tents for men and
horses. Have everything in good shape,
50 as to provide cool, dry, healthy quart
ers, and put up the kitchen by itself.
Buy foot-sere horses ofthe Chicago staeet
car. lines, Or if you can, from the Mime
seta pinories Sell them again in the fall
when blowing is done. If you lose
something On them, it is not as much as
their keep and bother all winter When
your crop is harvested don't hold it for
high price remember that it is practical
]y SD much money, and you are paying
interest on it as long as you hold it. 1t
is good deal belterto damn the millers
and sell directly from the field. AS soon
as stock and crops were sold, I should go
TO Florida or the Garden Of Gull.'

New YORK, March PA report received to-
day from Chicago TO the effect that it was prob
able the Pennsylvania and the Erie roads would
Withdraw from the trunk line pool in conse-
quence of maintenance of rates by other
members of the pool, proves unfounded Com
missioner Fink stated there was no truth what
ever in the rumor; the association was never in
better condition or working more tremendously
than at present. 1t was true that rates were
frequently cut on east bound traffic, but he did
not think any of the trunk lines were RESPONSE
BILE. Any charges that might be preferred would
be considered at meeting of the presidents of
the trunk lines to be held at his office to-mor-
row which was called principally to consider the
alleged non maintenance of rates by the b. & O.
Railroad Company
General Freight Agent Toby. of the New
York, Lake Erie g. Western road, said: ''The
report that any of the roads think of withdraw
ing from the pool is absurd, and is certainly not
true in the least of the Erie. OF course, we are
dissatisfied that other lines should be allowed to
cut rates while we maintain them; this was
especially felt when it was found the B. & 0.
had been cutting again On Monday last 200
carloads of grain cameto New York over the
New York Central at cut rates, while the Erie
and Pennsylvania received but about forty car
loads each the same day at tariff rates. / do
not believe the New York Central is responsible
found the cutting was done by some of the fast
freight lines that ship over tho Central
road The matter will undoubtedly
be brought up at the meeting of presidents to-
morrow. and the blame fixed where it belongs
Under the circumstances it is not strange there
should be dissatisfaction among the roads which
obliged to maintain rates and see their bust
ness taken away from them in such wholesale
manner 1t is stated, however, that since the
discovery of the recent cutting Of rates grain,
some Of the Central Irregularities have been
stopped and tariff rates been maintained from
all points in the West"
O. j. Geer. Western agent of the Pennsylva-
MIA road, was equally emphatic in hs denial
that there was any intention on the part
of the Pennsylvania railroad TO withdraw
from the pool. He said President Roberts
has been correctly reported as to his remarks at
the stockholders meeting at Philadelphia, and
that his report should not be in any way con
strued to mean that the Pennsylvania intended
to break its contract with the Trunklne Asso-
citation. Further than this. he had nothing to
say, except that the company was dissatisfied
with the manner in which Irregularities i'll charges
had prevailed.
1t is learned that the rate cutting has been
met by private orders issuing from Commissioner
Finks office, and it remains for the meeting to-
morrow to decide what course shall be pursued
to maintain rates
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1884-03-13

secured them. The regular rate is $l5.25. He
named two other cases where the cut
was made on Dakota and Nebraska
points. He then went on to say
that the dilly-dallying policy of the
Union Railway Company led to all this de-
moralization. They first gave the scalpers rope,
and this led local agents, whose lines did not
work through them, to meeting rates made by
the scalpers, then TO underselling them The
road he represented was opposed to reopenlngits
outside office, for the sale of tickets. 1t had been
conservative for months past, but was now
Obliged to take the aggressive, and would put on
sale a full hne Of tickets on April l; and the I'M
derstanding that all outside offices would
take similar action on that date, and
selling tickets at these Offices would
tend rather to further demoralize than to
aid in the maintenance of rates. As matters
now stood he could see but one way out of the
disgraceful dilemma, and that was to form an
association of the local ticket agents similar to
the one in Kansas City leach agent depositing a
sum of money which should be forfeited
to twice the amount of the rate of the
ticket on which the rate was cut) and hold each
passenger agent to the agreement. Then the
Union Railway Company should at once tackle
the scalpers. The Indiana law was a good one
and, if enforced would clear the city of ticket
scalpers within ninety days

Boston papers are growing considerably over
what Boston capital has achieved in the building

they have right 50 to do. The road is said to
be well built, and will admit of running trains
over it rapidly. The final spike was driven by
Mr.. Buckner, master track-layer, on Saturday
last. The two lOcomotives-One from Mexico
City and the other from the United States, deco
rated with the Mexican and American colors-

were laid daily seventy three miles were laid dur
ing the twentysx working days in February,
and 525 miles ia the last three months.

Propose to Refund Their Debt.

The stockholders of the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois road, most of whom. are Boston CAPT
talsts, are to meet in Chicago May 20 to consider
proposition to borrow the sum Of and issue
and dispose of its first consolidated 6 per cent.
mortgage bonds for $6,OOO,OOO, for the purpose
of retiring all the outstanding bonds of the com
pany, paying its Indebtedness, completing, finish
ing, improving, operating and extending its rail
way and property, and mortgage all its property
and franchises to secure said Sc, 100000 first
solidated per cent. mortgage bonds. In rail
road circles the Chicago e. Eastern Illinois road
is looked upon as being valuable property, and
is one that has a bright future if advantage is
taken of its locality and ability to draw traffic
There is 22S miles of main track, including the
fifty miles of branches, and the bonded debt
proposed would make the debt some $25, 900 per
mile. The equipment of the road is one of the
largest and the best in the West in proportion to
its mileage On the road are ffty-six locomo
tives, twenty nine passenger cars. 1889 freight
cars, 2 473 coal cars. These represent the active
useful equipment
