CHICAGO, May 6.-The Michigan traffic
from Chicago is going TO be contested
for sharply this season, and if war OF
rates does not result it will be surpris-
ing. None is making more thorough
preparations to secure . large slice of
tho Michigan business than the Graham
4 Norton line Of steamers to st. Joe.
Arrangements have been made with the
Chicago d West Michigan railroad for
steamboat express, which will be in
waiting at the dock at st. Joe for the
morning boat from Chicago. The steam
boat express will have in addition 70 Its
regular coaches four baggage cars for
fast freight 10 Northern Michigan
points. Freight will be transferred d,-
re:tly from the steamer 10 tho cars,
and the tram will leave an hour after
the arrival of the boat. Grand Rapids
will be made in seven hours from Chi
cago. The train will reach Traverse
Z ity in the evening, where freight and
passengers will be transferred TO a
steamer in waiting, bound for Mack
nav and the intervening east shore
points. The same connections Will be
made for Chicago, the steamboat cx-
press taking passengers to arrive In Chi
cago on the morning boat.
By the schedule of rates issued today
the st. Joe route makes . considerably
lower tariff to Michigan pcints than It's
competitors. The all rail route to Grand
Rapids is cut from $40 To $3.50 and
corresponding reductions are made
throughout the State. The freight tar
iff is also materially less than tnat OF
other lines. The reductions are borne
by the steamboat line, as it 10 not a
member of the Michigan associations.
The new arrangements go into effect
May 20.
