STOCKING WISCONSIN LAKES.
Omaha Road Looking Out for the
SpOrtsmen.

The game and fish resources of the
Northwest yearly attract a great many
tourists and sportsmen of the East
and South to this territory The value
of this patronage is appreciated by the
railways and the public. 1t will be
noted that nearly all Northwestern
railways, each season, issue attractive
advertising matter, descriptive of these
localities.
Recent notices from Wisconsin, show
that the c., st. p, NJ. e o. railway
have for some time past been
quietly restocking lakes and streams
along it's eastern and northern divi-
siOns, greatly augmenting the future
supply which will bring TO public no
tee several beautiful lakes and streams
up among the Wisconsin pines, where
even now good fishing is to be had.
During the past season the Omaha
has had placed 256,000 brook trout in
more than a score of streams; and in
Long and Gable lakes, near Cable
Wis, and in Whitefish lake, near
Gordon, Wis, over a half million young
lake trout have been placed; and re-
Gently 10000 steel heads were placed
in the latter named lake. This is prac-
tiCally the first Introduction of this
fish in waters in this locality, they be-
ing a Pacific coast fish of the trout
family, and the only ones that can be
placed IN the same waters with pickerel
and hold their Own-hence the name
steel heads. Among the lakes of the
state of Washington the steel head
measures from eighteen to tWenty-siX
inches and weighs from three to six
pounds.
Probably one of the least known and
yet best stocked lakes in Wisconsin,
with rainbow trout, is near Gordon,
where during this season, specimens
weighing three and half pounds have
been taken.
The Omaha contemplates. next year,
placing d carload each of Wall-eyed
pike and bass in Wisconsin waters. The
work is in charge of w. L. Tucker, of
the passenger department, who, as sec
rotary of the Minnesota Game and Fish
Protective association, has for several
years been identified with the game
and fish interests of the Northwest.

ton of the central committee Of the courts

TRAFFIC MEN DISCOURAGED.
No Hope of Restoring Freight Rates
at Present.

CHICAGO, Nov 6.-Freight traffic
officials Of the Western roads have
given up all idea Of having rates re-
stored to a normal basis in the near
future, and the officers of the Eastern
lines are about of their opinion. 1t is
generally conceded that as long as
there are so many roads outside the
associations, there is very little pros
pect of the rates being put upon basis
where they can be maintained for any
length of time. Many &of the traftlc
men say that the only salvation for
the roads is the passage of pooling
law by congress afZ itsA next session
Without this, they say 4hat it is inn
possible for them TO maintain rates.
With all of the roads, in a pool they
claim that they Will bel able to keep
to the tariffs much Sbetter than they
are now able to do. e%Fhe present state
means that there wild be hard fight
for the pooling law when congress
meets again. 81
The Western roadssare.s from now on,
to make a struggleNfo their business
from Colorado. They claim that the
low rates made by the Southwestern
roads have taken from them to the
Gulf points large amount of traffic
and the reductions made yesterday
are but the first of a series if they find
it necessary to make deeper cuts for
the purpose of keeping their business
up to the amount that it was before
the Southwestern roads began to cut
into it by means of their low rates i'll
connection with the steamship lines
from the Gulf ports to New York.
All the leading railroad men are
greatly pleased - +ha stand taken hv

the merchants of Chicago and New
York against the ticket brokers, as
sociations in both cities having within
the last few days declared that it was
better to do business with the roads
direct than with the scalpers. The
railroad men say that this action of
the associations in both cities, by the
leading merchants, shows that the
trend of sentiment is coming their way
at last and that it will ultimately re-
suit in the adjustment of the broker.
If the low rates that the roads in the
East and West have made for mer-
chants who desire to visit the CONNER
cial centers for the purpose of pur-
chasing their goods, shall have the
effect of doing away with the brokers
even in a small degree, the roads will
feel that they have made great deal
of money by making the low rates for
the business men.

NORTHWESTERN WHEAT TO BE
SHIPPED DIRECT TO EUROPE

VIA \ HEw CANAL TO NEW YORK.
Initial Lines Are Shading the Au-

East for Export.

Gen. George L. Becker. Judge Ira b.
Mills, N c. Kingsley, comprising the
state railroad and warehouse commits
sion, Chief Grain Inspector Clausen
and Secretary Teisberg, of the COM
mission, left last night for Buffalo, N.
Y. where they will visit and inspect
the mammoth new grain elevator re-
Gently completed by the Great North
ern Elevator company.
The gigantic structure, which is a
part of the Great Northern system, has
just been finished and started up, and
already the reports come that grain
shippers are clamoring for space in
which to store their grain. Owing to
the character of the elevator and the
material used in it's construction, grain
shippers are obliged to pay something
like p of l per cent insurance instead
of from to per cent, thereby saving
large SUMS of money. Business is done
on an immense scale and with the most
improved methods known, so that the
big elevator is destined to revolutiOnize
the methods which have obtained at
the other end of the lakes. President
Hill, of the Great Northern is said to
have expressed the intention of con-
Meeting by canal the Buffalo elevator
with a similar structure to be built in
New York from which the grain from
Minnesota and the Northwest can be
loaded onto the big ocean carriers
without the slightest possibility of ma
nipulation such, it has been contend
ed as has been going on by which
the famous Northwestern wheat has
been sullied by cheaper and poorer
grades before shipment to foreign
ports.
The management of the Buffalo ele-
Vator, feeling no doubt that the North
west is closely linked with the York
state institution, invited the commits
sion to inspect its workings. e
Minnesota grades and weights are
accepted all over the world, and the
general idea is to have the members
of the commission see how the vast
volume of traffic from the head of the
lakes is received and handled in an
up-to-date manner. They will return
later in the week.

CAPABILITIES which have existed to the
disadvantage of the Milwaukee, and to
the corresponding advantage of the
Green Bay & Manitowoc have been
done away with entirely.
Under the adjustment the rates from
territory tributary to the Milwaukee
have been reduced something like a
cent and advanced from the same
points to Green Bay and Manitowoc,
which, in effect, puts all three places
on an equal footing for the business.

They point out that Fall River no

it would simply allow mills in other
states to meet the improved demand
by running overtime This is par
ticularly possible in the South, and
the only remedy is believed to be in

CUTTING FLOUR RATES.
Authorized Tariffs on Flour Shipped
for Export Shaded.

Even with a 20-cent export rate in ef-
feet, the initial lines appear to be un-
able to refrain from cutting under the
authorized tariffs on foreign -four
shipments. and it is an open secret
in the freight departments that those
flour carrying lines, which are not at
present handling any export business,
are the only ones not slicing the re-
Gently agreed rate as given above.
The millers clamored for a lower eX-
port rate than the figures on domestic
business, and they were given it, but
it appears to be a farce, after ALL for
wheat is being shipped from Minneap-
oils today for export as low as 171a
cents per 100 pounds. The point is that
there is a differential of cents in
favor of Philadelphia and Montreal,
and one of cents in favor of Balti-
more and Newport, as against New
York and Boston.
The fellows at New York discover
that the rate is being shaded at Balti-
more, and, naturally, they want 20
get III line with the result that today
the rates out of Gotham are not over
liz cents. The funny part of the
whole matter is that the initial lines
say they have all the business they
can handle, with convenience, until
navigation closes. which will be, posi-
bly,. in two weeks.

NEW BRIDGE AT OMAHA.
If the Union Pacific Makes Exhorb-
liant Demands.

liant Demands.
1t is probable the sale of the Union
Pacific to the Morgan Vanderbilt reor-
ganiZatiOn committee will necessitate
the construction of new bridge
across the Missouri river between
Council Bluffs and Omaha. The pres
ent bridge is owned by the Union Pa
Cific, but is used by the Rock Island
and Milwaukee 81 st. Paul railroads.
They pay the Union Pacific $4,000 a
year rental, and % cents a passenger.
This contract was made by the Union
Pacific to prevent the building of an
other bridge by the Rock Island.
When Jay Gould secured control of
the Union Pacific he tried TO terminate
the contract because he thought the
remuneration inadequate. The Rock
Island, however, appealed to the
courts, which held that the contract
was valid and must be carried out.
The reorganized company, it is claim
ed, refuses to carry out the original
contract 1t takes the ground that the
company, having been foreclosed, it
becomes an entirely new organization
and is not bound to carry out any
contracts made by the old company.
The Rock Island and other roads using
the bridge would probably consent to
a reasonable increase in the amount
paid for the new bridge, but should the
reOrganized company make eXorbitant
demands they propose to build a new
bridge that will afford them better
facilities than the one they are now
using.
