SENDS OUT INSTRUCTIONS.
Chairman Midgley Preparing for
the New Era.


Chairman Midgley. of the Western
Freight association, is busy getting
things in readiness for the new era"
which opens Nov. 1. AT that period a
metamorphosis will take place in the
Western Freight association, and new
epoch in railroad agreements will be in
Stituted. The circulars received yester-
day are intended to bring about a
thorough understanding of the situa-
to-. They read as follows:
BY the executive officers of Western rail-
road companies who met in Chicago last
week, an organization was formed under the
name of the Western Freight association, and
it was agreed that it should become effective
Nov. /. AS membership in the new aSsocia-
ton imposes obligations which would con-
fict with privileges exercised under the for
mer agreement, and as there cannot safely
be maintained two organizations with varying
powers and objects under the same name
the new one will necessarily supercede the
old The latter will therefore expire with
the present month.
1t is advisable to make this announcement
lest the article in the new agreement which
provides that the rates. rules and committees
of the old association shall be continued un-
til they are changed by incoming authority,
be considered as extending the life OF the
present association or it's affiliated or sub
ordinate committees as those have hitherto
existed. Such was not the intention. The new
order of affairs becomes operative on the
LIST proXimo, and only such machinery OF the
old organization as can prohtably be utilized
will be continued in manner and with limita-
lions as prescribed in the new agreement.
The other circular reads:
With the view of insuring uniformity in
the application, by all parties, of the adj
vanced freight rates to be made effective
Nov. 2, insuring, it is ruled, that in order
to receive the benefit of the rates at this
time prevailing. shipments from Eastern con-
nections destined to points on or west of the
Mississippi river, must in addition to con-
01n owl n
originating line prior to Nov. l, be delivered
to and be in possession Of the receiving
railroad in this association previous to Nov.
at Chicago points, and Nov. on Mississippi
river points, and thereafter the advanced
rates, as stated in the circular, including
shipments of soft and hard coal, must be
applied, and no refund allowed unless, after
review Of the cases, the circumstances are
by authority of the new Western Freight as
sociation. thought to warrant exceptional
treatment. The above requirements will
apply to those companies which, for any rea-
son, do not advance their coal tariffs prior to
Nov. 6. The advanced rates shall apply
arbitrarily via those roads not later than
Nov. s, on consignments received from East
ern roads.

RESULT OF THE TRANSCONTINEN-
tai MEETING IMPORTANT TO
EASTERN SHIPPERS.
TARIFFS OF SUNSET ROUTE
MET BY THE LINES RUNNING TO
THE NORTH PACIFIC
COAST.
DOES NOT CHANGE CONDITIONS.
More Than One Line After a Certain
Territory In Washington and
British Columbia.

The rate meeting held by the officials
of the Northern transcontinental lines
is at an end, and the result of the
meeting is of no little Importance to
the shippers of the East, as they can
now bill goods to North Pacific coast
points just as cheaply as they can to
California via the Sunset route. The
result of the meeting, concisely stated,
is that the entire North Pacific coast
is placed on an equal footing with the
South Pacific coast in a mercantile
way, and her jobbers have equal ad-
vantages with those further down the
coast which have been enjoying lower
rates on nearly every commodity.
The rates from the Twin Cities are
not materially effected. Nor from in
termediate points between ST. Paul
and the coast. The meeting created
no new conditions, practically speak
ing, as the rates which were made
were only created to meet the compe-
tition of the Southern Pacific into Cal
ifornia, The North Pacific coast, from
Portland to Victoria and points above,
are benefited by the action of the
Northern roads. Nearly all commodi-
ties are now on a basis with those
billed via the Sunset route from the
Atlantic seaboard to the principal cities
on the Pacific coast, north. The new
schedule will go into effect Nov g.
The lines represented at the meeting
were the Graf Northern, Northern Pa
ciflc, Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany. Some of the new tariffs are as
follows, on commodities from New
York to North Pacific coast points:
Cotton piece goods, old rate $144; new
rate, 81.
Dry goods other than cotton piece goods,
old rate from $1.59 to 1.89; new rates, 81 20
to $3.50.
Canned goods, old rate about 80 cents; new
rate, 65 cents.
Hardware, old rate SIPS; new rate ST.
Boots and shoes, old rate about $1.S9; new
rate M.50.
Drugs, old rate $1.64 new rate $12o
The average reduction from Central
Traffic association territory will be
about five cents per hundred pounds.
The railroad officials made the follow
ing statement yesterday regarding the
result of the important meeting:
The rates show a reduction by the
North Pacific lines in rates from the
Atlantic seaboard to the North Pacific
coast, yet it does not materially change
rate conditions, as under existing tar
IFS from New York to the North Pa
cific coast via the Sunset route, with
low arbitraries added to North Pacific
terminals, practically the same rates
could be made via the Sunset route The
object was not to change conditions,
but to meet conditions on through
traffic. The reductions will not ma
terially effect st. Paul and intermedi-
ate points,

HATS OFF TO GENTLEMEN.
What Did the Girls Mean by Their
Remarks in the Elevator


They entered the elevator together.
They were dressed alike They wore
felt hats and coats, not unlike the sack
coats worn by men, which open in
front. disclosed waistcoats A turn
down collar was around the throat of
each, with small black neckties. They
didn't wear trousers or even boomers.
but their skirts were close-ftting, and
every man In the elevator knew in
stinctively that they were coveting the
coverings which they had for their
limbs They wore their hair cut short.
When they entered the men simply
stared at them. No one ventured to
remove his hat in accordance with the
time honored custom which provides
that in that way men should show their
Difference to the members of the oppo-
site sex. Perhaps they were too sur
prised at the apparition. Perhaps they
though that the women, being unus-
-ually strong minded, would be vexed
instead Of pleased at the mark Of po-
likeness to a woman. There are such
women, it Is said although every few
persons have ever seen any of them
Whatever might have been passing
through the mems minds In the few
seconds which the journey from top to
bottom required, they were awakened
young women exclaimed in a loud
voice:
Joan. why don't you take Off your
hat? Don't you see that we are In the
presence of gentlemen %
That remark served to cause every
man in the car to turn red and white
by turns. Every mans hand went in
stinctively to his hat, but all but one
were quickly stopped. The exception
removed his hat and was evidently en-
bdrrasSed because he had unconscious
ly taken the hint.
But he took his revenge. In an ord
mary tone of voice he remarked to an
other man:

from women that I am not surprised
at their mistake. nor at OURS"
