Having Built Two Limited Express
Trains with Advanced Features.
The Great Western has been quietly re.
ceiying designs and bids for the most modern
equipment which will compose two limited
express trains for service between Mime
apois and Chicago and Minneapolis and
Kansas City.
The Barney Smith Manufacturing c1m-
pany, OF Dayton. o., are now building the
chair cars for these trains. These cars will
have the very latest improved reclining sea-
ard eommcdious smoking compartment Will
the interior decorations and hnish will be a
radical departure from what the traveller has
been accustomed TO see in cars of this kind
The Pullman company has nearly completed
for service the compartment and open sleep
ers, which will be the very latest in des gn
arrangement and furnishings and equal Of any
arrangement and furnishings and equal of any
has also commenced work on the "club cars %
which will be the only cars of their kind in
the world.
The Great Westerns new Club cars"
have been designed with a view of .caking
them more like a room in any well-ap
pointed club and less like the interior of a
railroad coach.
TIE rooms are designed to accommodate
twenty-three persons, but can readily seat
thirty without crowding.
The Maple Leafs new trains will be COM
posed OF baggage car, club car, two chair
cars, one compartment sleeper, two open
sleepers and dining cars and they will make
their initial runs from Minneapolis and Chi
cago about June Is.

ONE CENT A MILE RATE,
Railroads VIII Probably Agree to
Carry Troops for That Money,

The governments request for a uniform
rate of one cent per mile for the transport
alton of troops will certainly be granted by
the railroads.
The clause in the proposition of the gov.
eminent, stating that if the one cent rat.
was adopted by all the lines the land grants
would be waived, has made friends of all
the land grant lines, as the waving of tho
land grants means great saving of trouble
and annoyance. The fact that the govern,
ment has promised to divide the business on
an equal basis between all of the competing
lines should the one cent rate be agreed
upon, is looked favorably upon. The rail-
roads by this will save the great cost of
soliciting the business.
The majority of passenger men are of the
opinion that the governments request will
be granted, ond one of the strongest reasons
for their belief is that the meeting of all the
Eastern lines which was to have been held
in Chicago tomorrow has been postponed in.
definitely.
The fact that George R. Blanchard, COM
missioner of the Joint Traffic association, to
whom the government made its first appeal
for lower rates, has been appointed brigad-
Ter general in charge Of the transportation
of troops, is a strong argument in favor OF
the decision of many of the roads to con-
cede the rate, Mr.. Blanchard is an ola
railroad man and has his opinion as to what
a fair rate is.

The Western pass agreement Will

This agreement is all that has survived
the dead Western Joint Traffic bureau.
All the railroads between Chicago
and the Pacific coast, sixty in number,
maintained an adjunct to regulate the
issuance of passes and to prevent their
use to secure or influence the routing
of traffic. The chairman of the bureau
was furnished by eacn railroad with a
complete statement of all passes issued
and for what purpose. j. w. Midgley,
the chairman, received a salary of $1,000
a year for keeping track of these

CHICAGO, May 4.-There was to have been
a meeting Of the Western roads on Friday
of this week for the purpose of considering
rates to the Klondke This meeting has been
postponed and will be held next Tuesday at
milwaukee,.
1t is not openly admitted, but Is generally
understood, that the meeting may end the
troubles between the Canadian Pacific and the
transcontnental roads of this country.
1t is understood that several of the Can
adam Pacific officials are to be IN Milwaukee,
and 1t is thought the long disputed question
of differentials will be settled at that time.
There have been so many conferences, how
ever. on this matter that the Western rod :
are rather slow to believe that the final
settlement is now at hand.
