FEEDING IN TRANSIT.
Effort of the Kansas Lines Regarded
az Intellectual.

Effort of the Kansas Lines Regarded
az Intellectual.
There is not a great amount OF alarm
among stock shippers at tl~ prospect of
feeding in transit being stopped the first of
next month as the RAILROADS say that it will
be. The HSfusal of The Nebraska lines to
join in the movement. 1t is thought, will
render the effort of the Kansas roads inef-
fectual. 1t means exactly that it will cest
81 head more to ship cattle to Kansas
City or TO ST. Louis or Chicago via Kansas
City than 1t would to ship 10 OF through
Omaha, and 81 head is too much clean
money for stock shipper to lose sight Of.
He would be obliged TO route his stuff
through the northern point to the manifest
damage of those roads which depend upon
Kansas City for their live stock business.
As a matter of fact, the whole thing is an
effort on the part of the railroads TO stop
the traffic in expense bills, and in that di-
rection they nave the support of everybody
except the consignee. 1t is hardly likely
they will win out, for the reason that they
have Nebraska lines to compete with. These
expense bills amount to about Sl7 per car.
and seventeen is about the average number
Of cattle that go to the car In this way 1t
meaUs 81 per tead to- the shipper.
Although every road running through
Kansas has announced that on April 1t
will withdraw the privileges of stopping
cattle in transit to feed, II is known that
about half OF them have intimated they will
withdraw the notice provided the other
lines do the same thing. A bureau is now
at work on the matter and reports much
success at the expenditure OF little effort.
