Ford Wood. general freight agent of the

Der the time when IL was so pleasant to do
business. There Is plenty for all the roads
to do and freight officials were not sus-
picious Of each other, everybody seeming
ly maintaining rates. and shippers, unless
IL be a few grain men at Chicago, are not
resorting to any petty tricks to get a lower
rate. seemingly being satisfied that all ship
pers are now treated alike in rate matters.
II. G. Stiles, another veteran in the freight
service, said he could not call to mind a
time when rates were so universally held
as now. The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day.
ton was having no trouble in getting BUSH
ness at tariff rates; where TO get cars to
carry the business offered is the trouble
some question.
John Lazarus, traffic manager of the In
diana. Decatur & Western. who was In Chi

known a time when there was so much con-
hdence and hearty cooperation between
freight officials and so pronounced a de-
termination to maintain rates at tariff at
present.
General Freight Agent Taylor. of the VAN
placed its rates on a tariff basis and will
not deviate in the least, and there is more
business offered than the road can now
haul.

succe..ton of Big Deals.

There has never been a time when so
much interest has been shown in railways as
at present. Every day brings rumors or
combinations Of some change or consolida-
ton. In speaking of this yesterday a rail-
read attorney said: This is a period of big
transactions. Beginning with the purchase
OF the Union Pacific property from the gov
eminent. when virtually spot cash was paid,
amounting to away up in the millions,
followed by a consolidation of the Wander
bilt lines. the negotiation for the purchase
Missouri Pacific, OF the Central branch lines
in Kansas. negotiations for the absorption
by the Union Pacific Of the oregon Short
Line, the arrangement of the Central Pacific
TO pay Its enormous debt TO the government,
and the possible consolidation of that line
with the Southern Pacific, and now the
direct buying OF the Chicago, burlington d
Northern by the Burlington syStem-it has
been one succession of big deals in railway
property. Probably at no period in the his
tory of ~railroading or in the history OF the
government could such tremendous trans
actions have been successfully carried out.
money have been raised for such purposes,
or secured at such a low rate OF interest
In speaking of the Burlington deal, he said:
I'm the near future j predict that whether
the equipment is in Chicago, Kansas City.
Omaha, Denver or St. Paul IL Will be
Burlington and all the initials and insignia
of the branch lines will be obliterated. The
same rule will apply TO all the big lines
east and west, and the untnitiated traveller
will no longer be confused by the terms ex-
reach his destination, when in truth 1t Is
all the same system OF road"
