NEWS OF RAILROADS
MINNESOTA JOBBERS AND PACIFIC
COAST JOBBERS ARE AT
LOGGERHEADS
A QUESTION OF TERRITORY
States From wisconsin to the
Coast, While the Washington and
Oregon Men Want Them to BE
Kept Out of Those States-Ap-
peal to Railroads.

The jobbers of st. Paul, Minneapolis
and Duluth are at loggerheads with
the jobbers of Spokane. Seattle, Taco
ma and Portland over division of
territory and there promises to be
lively fight between them on that ac-
count. The Minnesota jobbers want
the trade of all the country west to
the Pacific. and the Western jobbers
want to extend their territory as far
east as they may. The Western men
have called upon the railroads for as
SiStance and the railroads are in a
quandary.
ern and the Northern Pacific have re-

eral Freight Agent S. L. Moore. of the
Northern Pacific, returned here yester-
day. Mr.. Moore said that he and Mr..
Somers We're requested by the jobbers
of the Western cities to, use their in
1uence to allow them to extend their
territory eastward. and a number of
meetings were held with jobbers in that
country to listen to their complaints.
Mr.. Moore said the railroads. were
placed IN peculiar position Dy the
jobbers.
1--WE want to please all jobioers east
and west and to ask us to divide the
territories of the respective rivals is
a delicate matter. The Eastern job
bers are entitled to all they can get,
and so are the Western jobbers. and
it is not an easy thing to apportion
the territory to each. The Eastern
jobbers feel they are entitled toSevery-
thing west of the Wisconsin state line
and as much east Of that as they can
get, and they do not consider that the
Western jobbers are entitled to more
than what is left. The Western jobbers
do not want everything. but they do
want Washington and Oregon. = If the
Eastern men are to sell there the
Western men will be crowded into the
Pacific.
There is another difficult thing for
the roads to decide for the Western
iobbers. The Portland men want to
sell in Spokane and the Spokane men
want to sell in Portland. They want
roads running into contiguous territory
so they can more directly compete
with each other. The situation is
therefore somewhat complex and per-
picking"

LINCOLN. Neb., Feb. 6.-William j..
Bryan expressed no surprise over the
ratification Of the peace treaty and
commented only briefly, ION. the matter
When asked if the ratification of the
treaty would end the fight against the
annexation of the Philippines he said:
mot by any means. While I have
thought that the fight owould be made
against the treaty, I have felt that the
real fight is to be made for resolu-
ton declaring the national policy. The
opposition to that treaty has served a
useful purpose, and. the opponents of
the ratification made a gallant fight.
but there was never any chance Of
defeating ratification. Now that the
treaty is out Of the way, 1t can be
treated as a domestic question, and the
line can be drawn between those who
believe lin forcible annexation and
those who believe that the Fflipihos
should be. allowed to govern. them.

doctrine of self7government, and be-

lay across Lake Winnebigoshish. which. at
the place where they crossed, is twelve miles

night coming on. and the thermometer 40

Matters certainly looked serious. and few
of the party ever expected to escape alive.
After long and weary tramp during which
especial pains were taken to keep together,
they reached the lake shore. but were unable
to tell In which direction the camp was. They
sought the thckest timber in the vicinity ard

morning when they were discovered and TAX

party were entirely exhausted and all were

The Northern Pacific will at least lend
moral support to an association. General Pas
