FLOUR RATE IN EFFECT.
New A1l-Rail Tariff Comes Into
Operation Today

II
Operation Today.
The new all-rail tariff on flour from
Minneapolis to New York Of twenty
and one-half cents goes into effect TO-
DAY. The lake and rail rate Is now
seventeen and one-half cents.
Representatives of all-rail lines are
d1sgusted with the decision of the New
York meeting to the effect that on Nav
80 restoration of rates be made on
Hour to the original basis of twenty
cents per 100 pounds, Chicago to New
York, by the all-rail lines, with the
usual diffefential to the lake and raj
lines 90
Whenshippers, without any trouble
get as good lake and rail rate as
twelve cents, the alI-raM people know
1t is folly for them to even try to get
business by quoting a twenty-cent
rate. The all-rail men claim that the
alexandria, lines cannot maintain
their tariffs because of the competition
OF the tramp" steamers which ply on
the Great Lakes, and say that If the
atl-ral lines had been allowed to quote
a f1fteen- cent rate they would have
been able to maintain it and get a
decent share Of the business.
1t Is feared that the flour war will
become contagious and that other COM
modities will be affected. The situa-
ton In st. Paul is bad and all the
freight hustlers" are quoting below
tariff rates. To use the expression OF q
prominent local traffic official, "1oul
rates are rotten''
The rates on potatoes have gone ur
to stay, it seems. The ten cent rate
has been cancelled and. BEGINNING MAY

VIII be seventeen cents, the norma
basis.

Fraction, AppEcation of q Proverb

Whether on business or pleasure bent, or

New York Central affords all. and more than
all, the best. In road-bed, in safety of me-
chanical contrvances in the elegance and
comfort of its coaches, in the creature COM
forts of its dining and sleeping cars, it is I'M
surpassed and indispensable. Its manage
ment is modest in claiming that 1.-THE rumble
of the Empire State Express is heard round
have claimed that its praises are so heard.
A journey in this, the fastest regular train In
the world. is marked a red-letter day in
the memory of the Oldest traveller; and in
many a book of "reminiscences the New York
Central has received recognition that is its
due. No traveller, be he native born or for
eign who has passed over this greatest Of
American railroads but who is willing to give
it unstinted need of praise; indeed. few wait
for inspiration to do so. Safe bind, safe
find is a proverb that in railroad matters,
its management has studied well and applied
practically. The public records attest it.-Out-

SETTLERS KEEP THE LAND
MOVEMENT TO END ALL THE
CONTROVERSIES
Between Those Claimants of Prop
erty Within the Northern Pacific
Land Grants and Indemnity Linn
it's and the Railroad Company
Col. Lamont Elects to Have an
u
Era of Peace.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-An amend
ment to the srIndry civil appropriation
| bill now pending, If finally enacted into
a law, will, 1t is said, prove boon to
! all those settlers within the Northern
Pacific land grants and indemnity linn
Its who have contests with that rail-
| road company over their claims The
amendment in effect provides that
where contest exists between a set
tier and the railroad company the rail-
! road company shall relinquish its
claim to the land ON which the settler
IS located and at once take land else
Where along the line of the road in lieu
| or the land relinquished.
For many years the people in the
Palouse country, Washington, have
been urging the railroad management
| to accept proposition Of this kind,
| discontinue the contests in that region
and allow the settlers to get title to
the land. Under the old company's
| management the corporation insisted
| on prosecuting the contests and eject
| ing the settlers. Col. Lamont, the new
| ly elected vice president Of the road,
made trip over the line last year and
| Is said to have given personal atten-
ton to all classes of controversies Wi tn
the settlers along the line of the road,
and among other things he arrived at
the conclusion that 1t would be better
general settlement Of all these land
contests, the road relinquishing the
claims and taking other lands in lieu
Of those surrendered.
The amendment carefully guards
against any increase of acreage for the
road. If the amendment becomes a
law, the secretary Of the interior is to
submit to the Northern Pacific COM
pany list of all lands in contest with
settlers whereupon the company is to
quit claim the land to the United
States and take other lands in lieu
thereof.
1t is believed the lands relinquished,
which are generally improved, will be
more valuable than the lands the COM
pany can now select in lieu of those
rel1nquished, but an era Of peace and
freedom from controversy will become
some measure of compensation to the
railroad for the difference in the value
of the land
1t is said that about 100 acres Is the
average area in contest in each case,
and there are, 1t is said, about 5000
settlers who have contests with the
company, thus making about 500 600
acres of land which the company would
| rel1nquish to the settlers.

TranscOntinental Rate War Seems

to Spread.
The Klondike rate war is spreading,
and settlement is now thing of the
dim future. Notice has been given by
the Southern Pacific railway that. to
meet the competition of the Canadian
Pac1hc, 1t intends to sell fiat rate tick
cts from San Francisco to the East
through Portland
These rates are about 65 per cent
below regular charges, on account of
the conflict between the Canadian Pa
cific and the American lines.
Should the Southern Pacific carry out
its intention of selling fiat rate tick
cts, general rate war will likely fol-
low, as the Santa Fe has declared that
1t will apply the same rates over it's
line, in case of such an action being
taken by the Southern Pacific
Chairman Caldwell, of the Western
Passenger association, has been in
structed to secure a settlement of the
trouble without an application Of fiat
rates, if possible, for the Western lines
are afraid Of the effects of such a
move.

at Rochester.
Martin J. Mead, the man that tried to end
his existence at the central police station
Thursday night, made another unsuccessful
attempt at self-destruction at the county jail
yesterday morning.
After his attempt to kill himself at the
central station Mead was taken to the county
jail and placed in the padded cell and kept
ing when he was transferred to an ordinary
cell: few moments after one Of the at
tendants discovered him hanging from one
Of the ecross-bars of his cell He had torn one
OF the blankets in the cell in strips and after
knotting them together had placed one end
about his neck and climbing up the side Of
the. cell tied the other around the cross-bar
and swung off into space. Mead had evil
IDENTIFY been hanging but a moment when dis
covered, for he fought like tiger after he
had been cut down by Jailor Hammis. He was
placed in the padded cell again and will be
kept there until some disposition is made Of
him.
1t is known that he has been an inmate of
the asylum at Rochester, and it is supposed
that he has either escaped from there or
is out on parole.
The authorities there have been notified and
as soon as they are heard from it is probable
that Mead will be sent back to the asylum
