The fast mail train on the Chicago, Burling
ton & Quincy railroad was behind time at Bur-
lington few days ago, and made up by running
to Creston. 100 miles. in four hours and twenty
minutes A part of the way 1t made better than
mile minute.
The Wagner car-door has been adopted by the
Atchison. Topeka 81 Santa Fe Company for its
cars. 1t is stated that shippers of flour in sacks
now frequently specify cars with the Wagner
door in giving orders for carload shipment ap-
preciatng the protection afforded by this device.

George E. Pomeroy. The board organized by
the election of Henry S. Ives president; c. G.

There is some dissatisfaction over the work
ings of the immigrant pool lately established in
west The pool was formed to control the railroad
immigrant travel, and no one complains that this
travel is not well under control. What the diff
ferent companies do complain of, however, is
that the methods of the pool commissioner are
arbitrary, and objection is made to the impera-
tive character Of the instructions issued ny that
official and his power to 'even up the proper
tons of business allotted under the pool agree
ment to the different lines.
Although the Northern Pacific company may
lose small portion of its land grant, it will gain
by the establishment of principle in regard to
land grant roads of vital Importance to it. The
bill does not touch lands along the line already
constructed, and the fact that Congress does not
propose to NEEDLE with such lands was con-
clusively shown by the rejection of an amend
nonff a1ttda fhnvxH -m he
day. 1t will be worth to the Northern Pacific
far more than the barren acres on the Cascade
mountains to have it distinctly understood that
congressional Immigrant legislation is at an end.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul seems to
be urging on the fight between the Northwestern
lines. General Passenger Agent Carpenter
nouuces another fast train between Chicago and
st. Paul, stating that the great success of the
twelve-hour limited train from Chicago to st.
Paul and Minneapolis, leaving Chicago via the
Chicago, milwaukee 81 ST. Paul railway short line
at 730 P. NJ daily, has induced the rail way COM
pany to shorten the time OF its daily express be-
tween the same points, and, on Sunday, June 20,
it will commence to run fast through trains from
Chicago, via Milwaukee and La Crosse, leaving
Chicago at 2:45 p. M. daily, arriving at Milwau-
kee at $50 P. NJ, La Crosse Loo A. NJ, ST. Paul
6:55 A. NJ. and Minneapolis 735 A. NJ.
General Passenger Agent Barker, Of the Wis
consin Central was making arrangements for
the opening of his companys through line to
Chicago. The line will be opened July 10, or
thereabouts. All that remains to put it in first
class condition is to ballast twenty miles. The
company has not decided how many through
trains will be run daily, nor what time they will
leave and arrive at St. Paul Mr.. Barker says,
however, that there will probably be two daily
trains. which will not be run so fast as the
limited trains, nor so slow as the Milwaukee g.
St Paul and Omaha's regular trains Regard
ing the policy of the company with regard to
rates he las little to say, except that it was not
the intention Of his company to act as dsor-
ganizer, as a disturbing element, but that it
would make equally as low rates as any other
line
