THE CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Why IL is That the Lumber Manvfact-
urers OF the Three Cities Protest
Against Increase in Railroad Rates.
The cause of the alarm of the lumber
manufacturers of the three cities and the
reason of the vigorous protest de-
clared by the meeting in this city few
days ago, against the proposed increase
ia railroad rates to Missouri river points,
is due to an unfair discrimination against
the manufacturers of this vicinity. The
adopted increase in rates goes into effect
Jan. 10. The present rate from the
three cities to Kansas City, Leavenworth
and Atchison is II cents, with 132 cents
to Council Bluffs and Omaha. the rate
from Chicago to Kansas City, etc, is 13a
cents. and Chicago to Council Bluff. and
Omaha 16 cents.
Now it is proposed that on and after
Jan. 10, the rate from these three cities 10
the Missouri river will be IA cents per
100 pounds, while the rate from Chicago
will be IS cents. So the railroad COM
panies knock off half a cent from the
differential that has made the rates
as between Chicago and the Mississippi
and the Missouri river sort of equitable.
At present the railroads haul Chicago
lumber across the state of Illinois to the
Mississippi for p cents per 100 pounds.
and then charge the same rates from the
Mississippi that the patrons of the tri-
city manufacturers pay. A car load, as
car is loaded now-a days, is 80, 900
pounds-and the lessening of the diff
ferentiai gives the Chicago shipper an
advantage over the Iowa shipper of
SIS for every car be slips. The manu.
facturers in the three cities say that this
isn't right-snd they have appointed
committee TO go to Chicago and demand
that the present differential be maintained
in the rate which is to be changed next
month.
1t is claimed, too, that this matter
comes under the cognizance of the inter
state commission, as interstate com
merce is effected by it.

...Rrosneets and Probabilities.

The Much Abused, but Now Popular
subjecs Discus sed by Esrly SETTLERS
Prospects and Probabilities.
As rule it is somewhat of a risky
thing, not to say dangerous exactly, to
write or say anything appertslning TO the
weather 1t is subject that has become
very thread bare and ragged by constant
usage for number of years, and the
mention of it is on most occasions Often
sive to good taste and is quite likely to be
resented with more force than feeling.
But in seasons such as the present. where
the atmosphere is so exceedingly pleasant,
it is a delightful subject. rather than an
unpopular theme to talk about. At any
rate. it is topic that is receiving much
attention and complimentary comment
Just at this time.
A pair of old timers were fearlessly dis
cussing this much abused subject in a
place of business where the themes of the
day are apt to be talked over, this morn
ing, and one of them remarked: II
never saw such weather in all my ex-
perience in western Illinois, and | have
lived here thirty odd years. remember
one year, think it was in 81, that we
had mild weather until Christmas. but
then it set in red hot--or freezing cold
rather-aud we had it tough for the re-
mainder of the winter. Such billiards
and storms and ceaseleSs cold weather as
we had during the remainder of that
season we never had before nor do | ever
expect TO see the ike again. at least
hope not. | entertaiB ed the thought that
this winter was going 10 cut just such a
caper, but | guess l miscalculated. AT
any rate the back bone of winter is broken
now and no matter what does come, we
il had set in sooner, and that's consols-
ton isn't it?'
Indeed it is spoke up the other who
had been an attentive listener, "but I
don't have much fear of extreme weather
now. If We don't, this will
be one of the most glorious winters that
people could wish for anywhere.
Florida, or California, neither can present
such a climate. Think of it, Here is
a temperature with maximum of 81
degrees above zero and a minimum of
not lower than 20. with a daily average
at so; what more delightful weather
could be asked fory 1t is no trick to get
acclimated to such weather and then
see what blessing it is for people. |
hear the merchants who are overstocked
with winter wear are not satisfied. Well
l am sorry for them and | admire their
enterprise, and if they have been too
ambitious this season, let them salt their
stock down for another year. Much as
we like this weather, aud would have it
lingcr always, we will get some cold
blasts vet accompanied by demand for
heavier clothes aud but few calls for
cough mixtures
And the merchant in whose store the
conversation occurred, smiled approv-
ingiy.
