been taken from the Arctic regions They are
now at work cutting up the fourth whale
which has been taken between Michigan and
Squirrel Islands. The whales are shot with a
bomb or shell from gun at the shoulder, the
hunters firing from the deck Of a steamer. 1t

fifty barrels Of oil, and the siXty.ton carcass

1t isnow only week since the Omaha
road was authorized by the commissioner of
the Northwestern Traffic association, of
which the Omaha is member. to meet the
st. Paul IL Duluth rates TO and FROM
Duluth. on IFS Washbum route between
WashbuTn and st. Paul and Minneapolis
During this time, since the authority was
conferred. everything has moved peace
fully and the Omaha is now thor
oughly satisfied. and even the Mil
waukee and Minneapolis * St. Louis
roads are satisfied with the rates which are
being made by the Omaha, satisfied per-
hapS because there is no business moving.
1t is hard to see even how the ruling rates
will exist when the fall business commences.
At present the Wisconsin Central. over its
Green Bay route. is making rates to ship
pers which the other roads do not attempt
TO meet. and it is certain. and the jobbers
themselves say so. that they do not favor
any one road. but give their business
to the one which makes the best rate.
The rate from New York to ST. Paul, by
way of Duluth and Washburn. is 81 cents
per 100 pounds on frst-claSS business,
against a 9O-cent rate by all all-rail from
New Pork, 40 cents TO Chicago and 50
from there But both these rates are dis
counted by the West Shore and Lacka-
wanna. sending over the Wisconsin Cen
trail from Green Bay at so cents. The
Traffic association lines will find that some
thing will have to be done 10 equalize rates.
and the probable result will be that the
Wisconsin Central is admitted to tine asSO-
piafinn
