NEW DEAL IN WISCONSIN CENTRAL

Company Formed 10 nenrEnntzc the

MILWAUKEE,. Jan. 4-The Evening Wis
consln today prints che following relating to
the e-atus OF the Wisconsin Central lines:
THAT the properties OF the Wisconsin Cen
trail company and the Wisconsin Central Roll
way company WILL within a comparatively
short time, be entirely reorgdnized and that
they will pass nto other hands than these
OF the mcn who control the old company
seems almost certain. THE belief Is fortified
by the unexpected and somewhat mysterious
formation OF ne recently organized Wiscon-
sin Central Railway company whose articles
OF incorporation we're filed at Madison.
THAT the present movement Is a new one
and tnat II comes with a great surprise to
Edwin H. Abbot, the present receiver OF
the property, aud others for years directly in
terested Ia the management Of the Wiscon-
Sin Central lines is quite apparent from the
mcuner in which the news OF the 6ep has
been received by them. 1t Is hin'ed In GER
tain circles, supposed to be fully convers1nt
with the affeirs OF the Wisconsin Central, t7dt
the move is a result Of complei,e failure OF
the Wisconsin Central reorganization commit
tee and the creditors of the Central lines to
complete satisfactory negotiations with Edwin
II. Abbott. Mr.. Abbott, the former president
Of tho Wisconsin Central lines, practically
owns and controls the lines from Manitowoc
10 Chicago. Ii is asserted by some of those
who understood the whole deal tlat The en-
tire property would have been reorganized
six months or a year ago had the gentlemen
back of the reorganization matter been able
to make mutually satisfactory agreement
with Mr.. Abbott. 1t Is said that he held his
Interests in the new Manitowoc line, as well
as in the road from Schlesingervile to CHI
cago, at O much higher figure than she re-
organization committee was willing to con-
cedc.
Articles OF Incorporation filed at Madison
contain the Games of George d. VRnDyko,
William ID. VanDyke, w. +. Garter, Thomas
p. Carter Charles McAnderson and James L.
Norman, who constitute iIle board Of direc-
tors for one year. The articles also set
forth, as the objects CT the new company the
acquisition by purchase or lease of the Wis
consin Contral properties
The clpital sock Of The new company is
placed at $25,000, which is merely nominal
sum, and means nothing in connection with
the proposed purchase snd control Of the
Wisconsin Central properties. This is di-
vided into $50 shares of the par value Of
800 each, all of which is to be commCn
stock. OF these shares eighty-,hree are
taken by w. E. VanDyke, eighty-two by
George d. VanDyke and eigaty-two by w. L.
Carter, and the other directors named take

DIG WHEAT WAREHOUSES; BURN
Ten Thousand Tons of Grain De-
strOyeI Mt Stockton.


STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. AT 1910 this
morning fire was discovered in warehouse No
5 of the Farmers Union Milling company
and before the department could get to work
the flames were beyond control The fire
quickly spread to warehouse No. 6. and il
was soon seen that neither warehouse could
be saved. The attention of the department
was turned to saving the warehouse of the
Navigation and improvement company, which
was separated from No. only by a fire
wall, and the Eureka or Crown mills ware
house, which had only the same protection
from No. 5. Streams were withdrawn from
the central portion Of the doomed structures
and began work on the ends with some effect
and by continuous fighting against the iron
sides and roofs of the burning bulldogs, which
appeared to shut them off, the firemen were
successful.
The warehouses were well filled with grain
for beth the Union and its clients have been
among those who were waiting for the price
of wheat to advance. The lowest estimate
on the amount OF wheat destroyed is 1O00O
tons and many put 1t higher. There was

Western passenger rates took a tumble yes
serdsy morning.
They're all down In one alley; set them
up again" slid passenger man in speaking
OF tho recent cut rates made for the holidays
and the announcement OF further cuts in the
rates for western travel during the months
OF January, February and March. In view Of
the unexpected reductions there is much bad
feeling among mary OF the western lines, and
a rlte war Is in the immediate prospect.
The trouble has arisen over the mooted
question OF homeseekers excursions during
tho winter months, and 1t was brought to a
focus this morning by the announcement Of
the Omaha-Chicago lines that they would sell
round trip tickets from Chicago 10 Omaha aud
return for $3.50 and from Chicago to Coun-
Gil Bluffs and return for Sli50 on the first
and third Tuesdays in the months Of January,
February and March. These reduced rates
from Chicago 70 this city aud return will
necessitato reduced one-way rates from
Omaha 20 Chicago. passenger officials say, in
order to protect the tickets from being
scdlped.
For years the roads In the west have had
their homeseekers' excursions on certain
days each month. The rates for these excur-
sons have uniformly been one fare plus 81.
and the excursions have been conducted with
missouri farming country. The rates have
mover heretofore applied to cities located on
the Missouri river, but only to the agricu-
tural regions west thereof. Thls season the
Chicago Great Western led vigorous fight
against the homeseekers' excursions during
the present winter at ALL The opposition in
sisted that no good could come from the in
spection Of snow covered prairies by pres
pective settlers and urged thet the home
seekers rates during the winter season would
only result In the regular travel being made
less profitable But the majority of western
roads thought differently, and the homeseek-
ers' rates we're ordered to be put in on the
first and third Tuesdays of January. February
and March ThereupOn the Chicago Great
Western announced that 1t would put in cor
responding rates to St Joseph and Kansas
City.
The Omaha Chicago lines have followed by
putting the same rates into Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs The result Is that the regular
passenger rates throughout the west are
badly disturbed. and the situation about as
bad as 1t has been for a long time. There is
a meeting of the passenger representatives of
western roads in Chicago today and at
tempt will he made to improve the existing
conditions. Some Of the lines are in favor OF
having the homeseekers' excursion rates fer
the present winter withdrawn altogether, but
the bulk OF the sentiment appears to be in
favor of keeping them in, at least to points
in Nebraska and Kansas.

aRouT RATES FOR THE EXPOSITION
Passenger Men Have nm Opinion Con-
cerninG the Matter.


The matter of occurring reduced rates for
the Transmississippi Exposition has not yet
been presented to the Western Passenger
association, but probably will within short
time The matter has been considered at
meetings of the local passenger representa-
tives OF the western lines, but no recon-
mendaton has yet been made to the general
association. The passenger men say that ac-
ton will be delayed until the outcome Of
their fight for an anti-scalpimg bill is reached.
They maintain that the exposition will re-
ceve the lowest rates ever granted to any
show, IL the anti-scalping bill becomes a
law. On the other hand 1t is urged that the
absence OF the ticket brokers here next year
will prove serious detriment to the ex-
cursionists who will visit here during the
months from June to November
The freight associations in nearly all parts
OF the country have granted what amounts
to a one-fare rate for shipments of exhibitc.
The passenger men say that the early an
nouncement of the freight rates is all right
because there is no danger OF the freight
rates being scalped 1t is generally believed
that the passenger rates will be the same
or lower than prevailed during the Worlds
Fair year, which were as low as one fare
most of the time and the remainder OF
the time much lower than one fare.
