STEAMERS STOP.
The Diamond 10 Ties Up All of Its Bats
for the Season,

There is nothing doing at the Dia-
mond 10 office, or at any of the COM
pany's offices along the river. Busi-
ness is stopped, and it is difficult to
state when it will resume. The
Burlington Gazette states that the
Diamond 10 Office there has received
notice to close up the business of the
company for the season.
1t is presumable that the Diamond
10 management has thrown up it's
hands and quit again in the middle
OF the summer on account of few
days of extremely low water. This
is the sort of business that breaks up
the entire system of commerce on
the river, destroys the big streams
prestige, renders nearly half useless
the governments big annual invest
ment in river improvements and
gains for navigation on the upper
river the unenviable reputation of
being Improbable. 1t is doubtful
if. with all appearances tending that
way. the business of steamboating on
the Mississippi river is ever actually
Improbable for season. On the
contrary, there is general impress
sion that the Diamond 10 lines pro-
fits during its brief operation this
season were proportionately greater
than for many years previous.
A short Season.
The Diamond 10 line did not get
on the river until late in the spring,
and stopped the first of August, run
ming just long enough to take the
cream of summer travel from the
south to the north. The boats dur
ing this short time did an enormous
passenger business, and did not
make any effort to work up freight
trade. The steamer St. Paul, for in
stance, on no trip north carried less
than 125 through passengers, and on
most trips her list showed more than
200 through people. The rate from
st. Louis is SIS. The boat made six
through trips. Each trip required
eight or nine days and her expenses
do not exceed, according to rough
estimate of a river man, $3.50 per. day
on the up trip.
On the down trip she makes en-
penses at least, and maybe more. A
little figuring will give the inquirer
an idea OF how the profits run. Ii is
the guess of man who has estimated
it that the steamer St Paul is ahead
OF the hounds fully $1,000 on her six
trips this season. Unless there is a
change in the determination of the
managers OF the Diamond 10 line.
the public will see no more through
boats this season and no further river
accommodations save those of the To-
cal packets.
In the meantime the government
lights will be kept burning every
night-and some OF them all dav-
the rip-rapping and wing daming will
60 on, the expensive system of gov
ernment snag pulling and inspection
steamers will be maintained, all of
which have been encouraged largely
in the interest Of the Diamond 10
line. 1t is a pity that the interests
of the upper Mississippi valley are
not better represented on the river

STOCK DEALERS ANGRY.
Consider the Chicago Terminal Charges an
Outrageous Impcsisfoa.

Outrageous Impcsitfon.
II you are looking for someone to
interview" said Senator W. F. Craw-
ford. as sn Argus representative ran
across him early this morning, ''in-
terview me-" The senator. accom-
panied by o. l.. Bruncr. likewise Of
Taylor Ridge, had just gotten in from
trip to Chicago with stock. and
when the reporter inquired the sub
ieCt on which the distinguished stock
dealer would prefer to submit to the
pumping process. he replied. ..any-
thing but politics. | am not talking
politics these days. | don't care a
lig for the Wilson bill or the senate
tariff. or woman's suffrage or the
populists. What want to talk
about is the outrageous treatment
stock men out this way are getting
in Chicago. and | want you to give
them fits and tell them what the far
mers think about them. Why. see
here"
| Unreasonable Ter ninK! Charges.
So saving the senator fumbled
about in his pocket for something. hut
not finding it he turned TO MIR. Bru-
ner, who produced statement of
charges incidental To the delivery of
car load Of stock in Chicago. and an
item to which both stockmen pointed
as the source of complaint was ter
minal charges So" Now that is what
us fellows are kicking about" said
Crawford. land the worst of il is we
can't find out where the money goes.
The railroads lay il to the stock
yards, and the stock yards claim the
railroads are getting il. Whichever
way il is, we have to pay it. we
know that much. and il is unreason-
able and unjust, and want the pub
lie 20 know it,"
And the stockmen thereupon en-
tered restaurant for breakfast.

Northern Pacific at Billings. 1t has
already made such arrangements
with the Northern Pacific as will
make II one of the most prominent
factors in transcontinental business
to and from the the North Pacific
coast. For all practical purposes it
will be an additional transcontinental
line. as it will run through trains to
Portland via Billings over the North
ern Pacific.
Although the Northern Pacific will
thus admit q new competitor into it,

materially strengthen il in its ire
pressible conflict with the Great
Northern. BY its Burlington connec-
ton at its St. Paul terminus and half
way to the coast it will be in much
letter shape to meet competition
The Burlington also will ALWAYS be
in position to preserve its interests.
as it can make connection with the
Great Northern by building 75 miles
north of Billings. The Burlington
is practically the only road in the
country which hos continued build
ing during the financial depression
1t has thus been enabled to
build its Montana line cheaper
than the same number of miles have
ever before been laid Its cost is
nominal compared with the capitali-
zation per mile cf all the other trans
continental lines except the Great
Northern. 1t runs through the best
cattle country in the northwest. II
is now paying and will always con-
tnue to pay expenses from Local
traffic alone. Railroad competition
OF the future will mainly be the test
between high and low capitalization
In this respect the transcontinenta'
line Of the Burlington will head the
list. 1t can pay interest and divi.
