Local Notes.

Traffic Manager EccIes and General
Passenger Agent Burnley of the Short
Line and General Passenger Agent
wadleigh of the Rio Grande Western
will leave the city this evening FOR
Portland, where they go TO hold a con-
ference with the passenger department
of the Oregon Railway & Navigation
company, the Northern Pacific officials
and the officers of the Great Northern
loads on the matter OF passenger
traffic
It appears from statements made
yesterday that there is a regular chaos
In passenger rates from the northwest
eastward. Tickets are sold on the 60
as-yOu- please plan; are ha wked by
brokers on the streets, and everything
pertaining to the business is more or
less generally demoualized. There is
such sharp competition in eastern
traffic that the agents of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern are cutting
everything to bits. Brokers commits
sions are slashed down and the benefit
given the passenger, to the detriment
of the either roads. In order to meet
these actions on the part of the north
ern lines it is said the o. R & y. is
resorting 10 the same methods and the
conference of the passenger men is
called for the purpose of seeing what
can be done in the way of getting mat
tiers adjusted so this win not occur any
more.
The same conditions which apply to
Passenger rates are obtaining in
freight shipments, only to a more linn
fled extent. Just now, when the ship
ments of fruit are the heaviest, the
roads can II-aford to make sacrifices,
and an effort viii be made TO settle
that matter also. It is believed that
Mr. Eecle6 has authority to make all
arrangements on behalf of the West
ern and that all rates will be discussed
and lined up ere he comes back.
A leading official Of the Western said
yesterday that matters were in bad
shape and that something had to be
done or else all business from the west
would be seriously damaged.
Il is expected the party Will be alb
sent for three or four days in arrang-
ing matters. They SO straight to Port

to Get the Propertv.


Chicago Inter-Ocean: Oct. has been
fixed upon as the date for selling the
roads which may constitute the Union
Pacific system. The main line will be
sold at Omaha and the Kansas Pacific
at Topeka. An impression has pre-
vailed that the sale would be g spirit
less affair. but it has developed that
there viii be at least three bidders,
either of which is a syndicate powerful
financially and in the control Of other
important railway lines. The first and
most prominent bidder viii be the J.
Pierpout Morgan syndicate, which
holds the firsI syndicate and SIS. 900, 600
of stock on the Oregon Short Line, q
controlling interest. This great com
bination of capital is expected to make
a spirited effort TO gel the property. If
successful, Oliver w. Mink of Boston.
Mass, VIII be president of the nav
company. Another syndicate. repre-
scented by WinsloW S. Pierce OF New
York, is il the field and has declared
its intention of bidding for the road.
The plan Of this corporation contefn-
plates through line from ocean to
ocean ny con bining with the Wander
biltS and The New York Central and
the Central Pacific. Another syndicate
which is said TO be of formidable pro
portions, is said to have been organized
an San Francisco and represents the
Huntington interests. Il hopes to Sc
cure the line from Omaha to Ogden
but does not care for the Kansas
branch 1t is not yet clear whether the
court Will allow the two lines to be
sold separately, though the presume
ton is that il VIII be sold any way the
bidders desire it.
