500 MAKES A SLASH
REDUCES THE PRICE OF TICKETS
FROM ST. PAUL TO NEW
YORK
REASON GIVEN FOR THE CUT

General Passenger Agent Galloway
Claims That the New Agreement
Not BEING Kept-NO Move Yet
Made to Meet the Action of the
500.
The city office of the 500 line received
notice yesterday forenoon that until fur
Their notice first-class tickets to New
York city will be on sale at a rate of
$40. Second-class rates are reduced to
SIT. Officials of the road affirm that the
cuts are made for the reason that the
new st. Paul-Chicago agreement is not
being kept by the lines parties to it, and
that the SEQ is forced to protect its bust
ness by lower rate.
The action of the 500 caused general
surprise in st. Paul railroad circles,
though there has been a suspicion for
several days that something would drop
in General Passenger Agent Getaways
office. There was no suspicion that New
York rates would break, and officials of
the Chicago lines are urgent in their dec
larations that they have maintained the
agreement which is cited as cause for the
cuts, to the very letter. a 500 official
safes that the cuts on which the new
rates were made were authorized by one
Of the weak Chicago lines. e.. ..
Nothing has yet been done to meet the
Soo's action. The rate to New York I'M
der the agreement is made $11.5O to
Chicago and SIS east, making a tariff of
$27.50 The 500 has had a rate of SIS in
effect for more than year. The Omaha,
1t Is said, will remain neutral in any de-
Velopments which may occur. The Off
Gals are disposed to fight shy of another
disturbance and indicated yesterday that
they would be content to await a more
decided competition before taking action.
Whether the Milwaukee will maintain
like attitude is questioned The matter
will go before the officials of the line at
Chicago before a decision is announced.
The impression IS we'll defined that the
action of the 500 will precipitate a gen
eral Reorganization of east-bound rates.

SOME RAILROAD JoTTINGs.

The Northern Pacific has given official
notice that it will build the Bitter Root
branch The road will be used as an
outlet to the timber country lying at the
head OF the Clearwater valley. Under
the present system of getting the timber
on the market, it is necessary to drive
it on the Clearwater river, which has
many natural distractions. The new
branch will afford a supply of timber
which experts say will take five years
constant work to destroy.

FOR CAR ACCOUNTING.
Great Northern Institutes n New
Method.

The Great Northern has instituted a
new method of accounting for freight cars,
which will greatly simplify and facilitate
keeping track of moving rolling stock
The system is being put in use at all the
larger cities along the line, and has been
accepted for the St. Paul offices. The
plan divides the road into divisions, rang
ing east and west from Minot, n. D.
When the system is in use it will be
possible to tell within five minutes the
exact position of each car in service, and
al laid 10 III bad order or sidetracked
Data are kept of the hours of arrival
and departure at each division point
Each car is represented at the division
points on a small bar of wood. On each
bar is a slip of paper giving car num-
bers, so arranged as to be always in
sight As soon as a car reaches a. d.
vision point, the hour of it's arrival is
written on the slip and a number denot-
Ing the station. AS the car proceeds,
further data are added from messages
sent by train conductors. This informa-
ton contains record of cars cut out, cars
in bad order and other details. These
sticks containing the varied information
are arranged in a large frame In such a
manner that the operator can tell at a
glance where the desired car is. There is
also a system of accounting for foreign
cars, which possesses many advantages.

sTICKNEY STIRRED THEM up.
Railroad Officials Do Not All Share
in His Beliefs.

The statements of President Stickney
of the Great Western, before the subcom-
mittee of the national industrial commits
sion in Chicago on Monday have stirred
up an unusual amount of comment in ST.
Paul railroad circles. The Officials of
some roads take exceptions to the Great
Western presidents statements concern
ing automatic couplers and safety de-
vices. He is quoted as saying that these
appliances have increased the number of
accidents rather than lessened them. 9th
er officials who read the press reports
were of the opinion that in mary partic-
Ulars the Great Western president had
the right. This was alleged to be true
particularly with reference to mainte-
nance of published freight rates, which
Mr.. Stickney says is impossible.
What the Great Western president has
said is largely true said a traffic man
ager except that he does not go suff1-
GENTLY into the matter. 1 do not regard
1t as best to give publicity to such state
ments but every railroad man will agree
that Mr.. Stickney's statements contain a
large percentage Of disagreeable truth"
