WILL HELP LA INQUIRE.
North Dakota Town to Profit by
Northern Pacific's Extension.

LA INQUIRE, N. D., Dec. Elf the
Northern Pacific carries out its proposed
ptans for railroad building In North Da-
kota next spring La Moure is destined to
acquire considerable prominence thereby
For years there has been sort of
tacit understanding between the Northern
Pacific management and the people of La
Moure that whenever the Fargo & South
western line is extended. La Moure shall
be made a division point
That this unrecorded agreement will
be carried out is probable for several
reasons La Moure is the junction Of
the Southwestern and the janet River
Valley lines. With the bridging of the
gap between Minor and Cakes, and the
operation Of a tlrst-class through passen-
ger service between Leeds and St. Paul.
the extension of the Southwestern to
Fort Yates, and the building of a cross
line from Casselton to some point on the
Jim River Valley line, between La Moure
and Dickey, La Moure Will have become
quite an important railroad center
1t is now the most important distribut-
ing point west of Fargo and south Of
jamestown. The outlook for vastly in
creased commercial advancement Is GER
tainly very tlattering.

TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS.
New Device I'm FOOtboards for Chr
Tons.

q. #, Harmon, Of Chicago was in st.
Paul yesterday, making an effort to Sc
cure the trial Of a new device, of which
he IS the author for footboards upon the
top OF freight cars. The invention is a
departure from the generally accepted
type and is devised for the purpose of
eliminating the danger resulting from
the footboards becoming coated with
snow and Ice and offering an insecure
mold for trainmen and brakemen
The footboard itself, according to the
description furnished, consists of a num-
Der Of parallel iron pipes, one inch in
diameter, laid upon a framework which
raises them eight inches from the level of
the car roof. The top sides Of the pipes
are furnished with iron spurs, placed
close together, much in the same manner
as spikes upon a railing. The footboard
is eighteen inches in width, the pipes
being placed two inches and three-quar-
ters apart. 1t is claimed that by this de-
vice the spurs prevent the feet from Slip
ping on such ice as gathers; while the
snow falls between the rows of pipes
upon the car roof
The idea is not entirely new, though
none Of the Northwestern roads have
such device in use. Many accidents an
nually result from slippery footboards,
and in winter the brakeman's duties are
none the pleasantest on account of snow
and ice on the car tops.

THOSE DULUTH REPORTS.
Some Believe They Emnnate with n
Rival Road.

Statements made recently that the
Northern Pacific is responsible for the
stories Of the st. Paul & Duluth passing
under Great Northern control are not
discredited by many St. Paul railroad Of
ficials. There is tendency towards the
belief that the Northern Pacific. for pur
poses of its own, desires to treat the
reports Of control and consolidation as
true. 1t Is generally admitted that
President Mellen stands ready to take
any advantage over the rival line which
offers, and. though the reason for the
attitude Of officers of that road towards
the Duluth story is not plain, it is suffi-
GENTLY plain that the road desires to
maintain the belief that the Duluth is
controlled by Mr. HILL Speaking Of the
attitude of Mr.. Mellen, railroad official
Is quoted as saying yesterday:

Will snow how the story is cleyerly and
coVertty indorsed at every opportunity
recently the Northern Pacific became
involved in g. rate dispute with the peo-
pie OF st. Cloud. the people Of the lat
ter city claiming that they had to nav
higher rate to Duluth on ST. Cloud
a9Tr than was paid by the Minneapolis
miller. The people of st. Cloud had taxi
en- their complaint before the interstate
commerce commission, and it has deyel-
ooped before this body that last April
the Northern Pacific published a tariff
making the same rate from st. Paul and
minneapolis to Duluth. "a miles by the
Northern Pacific, as is made by the
short line, which is 100 miles The St.
Eau! d Duluth was not adverse to the
tariff because it would attract some of
the business away from its rival. the
eastern IIsirl, railway; Therefore the st. Paul
q DuIuth offered to make a traffic agree
ment with the Northern Pacific on a
very liberal mileage basis, for the use
of its tracks, but when the proposition
was laid before the Northern Pacific Of

CHICAGO, Dec 2.-Hopes for an am

have arisen from the old differential
squabble down East are DINNER now
than ever before. The situation has taken
another turn for the worse, and it is not
improbable that the second-class rate

passenger men have discovered Boston,
San Francisco tickets in the Chicago
market which are being offered at rates
lower than the regular Chicago-San
Francisco rate.
For the first time since the trouble took
on its present phase the Vanderbilts and
their Western connections have openly
expressed their determination to secure
the same rate from New England points
TO Pacific coast points as that made by
the differential lines. They have taken
the stand that there is no justiffable rea-
son why the differential lines should be
permitted to undersell them on the Sec

PLEDGE THEIR WORDS.
Members OF Western Trunk Limo
Association to Maintain Rates.

A circular from the Western Trunk
Line association appeared in st. Paul
yesterday, signed by all the roads in the
Trunk line association east Of the Mis-
souri, pledging ION honor" to maintain
rates The circular called upon all lines
to take notice and abide strictly to tariff
rates.
Considerable surprise resulted from the
appearance of the trunk line greetings,
since agreements are not made unless
rate cutting has been in progress to give
an occasion. The rate situation has been
declared satisfactory from time to time,
and if any secret rates have been made
they have failed to attract attention.
Among the provisions of the circular is
one to the effect that, no matter how
strong evidence is received of secret
rates issued by competing lines. no rate
be made to equalize conditions until the
chairman Of the association has been no
titled and like notice issued to ali lines
still using tariff rates.
