GREEN FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Three Specials Per Week Over tn,
Short Line Eastward.

The moving of the crop of fruit from
Idaho and Oregon demands an increase
in the train service until the same
shall have been disposed of. and as a
result the management announces that
three special trains from Portland east
ward viii be put on, which will leave
Portland Tuesdays. Thursday and Sat
urdays- These trains will consist of q
cars each, and will be moved as rap
idly as heavy draught passenger en-
gines can take them.
If the facilities afforded are not am
PIE the read will increase them. In
this connection ii is stated that Idaho
viii have 500 cars and that Oregon is
expected to ship a very heavy crop.
A portion Of the business will GO
over the Union Pacific eastward, and a
portion over the Western and connect
ing lines. That designed for the first
named road will go from Pocatello,
while the other viii come by way of
Ogden
The increase of business. coupled with
g gratifying increase in the earnings of
the road as compared with the earn
ings 4 year ago, combines to make
those interested in the Short Line very
happy.

RATES ON SHEEP.
Explanation of Apparent Discrepan-
cies of Freight.

The rate on sheep on the roads run
ming into this city are l21z cents per
rlile per car, according to a statement
made yesterday by a prominent ship
per, who claims it is higher than it is
on the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
Inquiry at the offices develops that
While the two roads alluded TO adver-
tise on the rate sheets that the rate is
10 cents per mile,-thalt there are ''tun-
mel charges which make the same a
great dead higher than is asked by the
Utah lines, and that 17ls cents is nearer
the figure, when all matters are con-
sidered. 1t is said also that the rates
on the southern lines is a great deal
lower, which appears to be a fact at
first sight, but when the matter is in
vestigated, there is an apparent dis
crepancy. The southern roads. too. have
extras which are charged, which brings
the rate up to something like 151k. so it
will be seen that the Utah lines are
giving good fair rate to the shippers
of live stock
In connection with the matter of
shipping sheep. Hon. AouilIa Nebeker
is preparing to move some 5000 head
from the south to the north at an early
date. and has net yet decided that ne

which viii be the cheaper of the two.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-08-27

Within a few days an important cir
cular will issue from the Office of the
Short Line and the Rio Grande West
ern, relative to cattle rates, or rates on
live stock
The much discussed question of
changing the rates on live stock from
dollars per car load to cents per humid
red weight has at least been agreed
upon, and as soon as the legal notice
is given they will go into effect.
This is an important action and one
which viii interest stock men. and the
issuance of the circular concerning the
same will be awaited with a great deal
Of interest.
There has been considerable dis
cuSSion in railroad circles over this
matter for q long time, and now that it
Is settled, traffic men breathe easier
AS was announced in The Herald some
days ago, the matter has been under
considera ton with Short Line and
Union Pacific officials
The arguments raised by railroad
men in favor of the change have been
to the effect that all commodities other
than live stock have been charged for
on basis of weight, and they could
see no reason why this rule should not
apply to live stock
Live stock are bought and sold by
the pound, and it was deemed but fair
they Should be freighted in the same
manner If a man ships car of cattle
or sheep Weighing say 10000 pounds,
he sells the same at that rate, while
another car. weighing say 5000 pounds
less, is goEerned by the same rule.
Still under The old rule the man who
shipped the lesser weight would have
the same rates TO pay as the one with
10000 pounds. Under the new rule the
man with the light weight pays for the
same at its actual cost, as does the
person with the heavier
1t is believed by all who have con-
sidered the matter that this new ar
Management VIII prove satisfactory to
shippers and will tend to avoid a great
deal of the pickering which has form
erly been done in connection with the
shipping OF stock.

The Hoo Hoos is a society composed
of newspaper men. passenger agents,
Of railroads and lumber men. It was
organized in Kansas City some years
ago by some lumber men, who were
stranded there. A newspaper man got
them transportation from the city
through the kindness of a passenger
agent of one of the roads, They went
on, transacted their business and came
back with money in 1heir pockets and
organized the Hoo Hoos The newspa-
per mans action made his fraternity
eligible, while the party who issued the
tickets fixed the passenger agent peo-
pie. There is a talk of organizing a
branch here as soon as the weather set
ties. In that event George Heintz is
billed to be selected snary, while Col
onel Burley or Dan Spencer will get
the job of scrivenoter. Several Hoo
Hoos from Utah will attend the con-
vention. e
