The Atoms cut in rates from Chicago

road will meet the rate, affecting St Paul
considerably. The coast rates will also be
affected, as the Chicago-St Paul rate will
no longer be used for b&sing purposes
Through rates are always based on the
lowest rate between principal points, the
lowest combination being used. Since the
Chicago-Kansas City rate has been cut
to a figure SO less than the Chicago-St,

through basing rate.
The new tariff will affect st. Paul,
Council Bluffs, Leavenworth and Atchin-

HIBBING OR FARTHER.
New Great Northern Feeder Will Go
Into a Rich Country.

Into n Rich Country.
The construction Of line Of railway
from Milaca on the Hinckley branch of
the Great Northern, north to the Western
terminal of the Duluth, Mississippi River
&, Northern, at Swan river, a distance of
100 miles, and possibly as far as Hibbing
in the iron district, seems almost assur
ed. Recent reports from Duluth and
other points in the Northern part of the
state indicating that the road will be
built, have been Of the most positive ma
ture.
The Weyerhauser and other pine land
interests have for the past year been
buying large pine holdings on the Little
Fork, Ash and other rivers of Northern
Minnesota that flow into international
waters. and are now said to have some
500 900, 600 feet of pine there. It is under
arrangements made with them that the
new road viii be built, though it will
be a general traffic line of much value.
The country from Hibbing north is a
magnificent farming and hardwood land,
and can support a line well, aside from
the timber output at its northern end.
The country between Milaca and Swan
river is largely good agricultural land,
and contains much undeveloped wealth.
The line will cross the Northern Pacific
somewhere near McGregor. The Weyer-
hauser interests now have an option on
the property of the Howe Lumber Com
pany of Tower, and will probably close it
this week, in view of the expected
changes in that region.

Among the improvements contemplated
is the construction Of a driveway across

NEW MILEAGE TICKET.
Only Two of the Western Roads
WOuId Accent 1t.

The Western roads have defeated by an
overwhelming vote the attempt to intro
duce new interchangeable mileage sys-
tenn With two exceptions the passen-
ger officials of the Western roads declared
that they would use only interchangeable
mileage tickets which had been presented
to ticket agents, the latter to issue the
passage ticket to be taken by train con-
ductors The argument against the intro
duction of the new system was that the
present system insures the railroads to
the fullest extent against dishonesty of
employees and brings in the greatest pos
sible revenue. The feature of the new
system which caused the greatest oppo-
sition is that it offers brokers greater
possibility of manipulating transportation
than under the system in use.
