NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The action of
the directors of the Union Pacific rail-
way in voting to increase the capital
stock Of the company to absorb the Ore

course, be the Chicago & Alton from
Kansas City to Chicago, the Chicago &
Northwestern from Omaha, and the Lake
Shore-New York Central line from Chi
cago to the Atlantic seaboard The &C
ton of the directors was at the dictation
of Mr.. Vanderbilt and his associates.

increase in the common stock of $780,

ALL ESTABLISHED WESTERN
ROUTES TO CALIFORNIA WILL
PAY COMMISSIONS
BURLINGTON WAS THE FIRST

Question Whether the St. Paul ROAD
Can Ee Fined for Violating the
Agreement of the Western Pas
senger Association - Passenger
Officials Predict IL General Rate
WAR nm Account of Roads Policy.
CHICAGO, Aug 31.-All the Western
lines forming parts of established routes
TO California viii pay commissions OF 20
on each ticket sold by agents Of connect
ing lines. This sum is more than double
the usual commission which all lines
agreed to pay. Recently the passenger
department. of the Chicago. Milwaukee q
St. Paul road issued a CONFIDENTIAL cir
cular'to ticket agents of connecting lines
inferentially offering to pay them higher
commissions than any other line. A SIM
liar scheme was worked very successfully
last year by the st. Paul road, but the
other roads are wiser now and are deter
mined to allow the ST. Paul to secure no
undue advantages.
The Burlington was the first to an
nounce that in view of the ST. Paul's
secret O4cI ~ HetS S-ANSSo NOAtA4Ai47S4O447' -
would pay a commission Of s. on every
ticket sold via it to California. All the
other lines to the Pacific coast were
forced to make the same offer. The pay
ment OF excess commissions last year,
which was started by the st. Paul line,
cost all the roads not far from 100000,
which might have been saved as we'll as
not.
The responsibility for starting another
commission war between the Western
lines cannot be denied by the st. Paul
road 1t issued the red circular" about
commissions on California business on
Aug. 10. 1t is question whether the st.
Paul road can be fined for violating the
agreement of the Western Passenger as
soclation. The road will be in the as
soclation until Sept. 6, or fifteen days
from the date of It's notice of withdrawal
The red circular" was issued at least
two weeks before the notice Of with
drawal.from the association. To say that
the other roads do not feel kindly toward
the St. Paul is putting it very mildly
Many passenger officials predict gen
eral rate war on account of the policy
which has been adopted by the st. Paul
road.

GAME SEASON OPENS
LEGAL SHOOTING OF PRAIRIE
CHICKENS BEGINS TODAY IN
MINNESOTA
DUCKS CAN ALSO BE KILLED
Safe for Another MOnth-Execu-
tive Agent Beutner Says There Is
More Big Game in Minnesota
This Year Than for Many Seasons
Past.

Yesterday was the last day of the re-
stricted season on prairie chickens and
ducks, in fact all feathered game birds
excepting quail and patrtridges From
the reports received by Executive Agent
Buetner during the last two weeks,
chickens and ducks are unusually plen-
tiful in some localities, and of the latter
there appears to be a great many in all
parts of the state. The heavy rains of
the spring and early summer were very
destructive to the chicken crop.
Ducks are reported as most plentiful
in the Red River valley district and
chickens are likewise very numerous
along the great wheat belt
Mr. Beutner stated yesterday that he
would seize any game shipped into st.
Paul today. 1t is an old practice of the
market hunters of shooting several days
before the season open and shipping in
their spoils on the days that the season
opens This the game warden refuses
to stand for.
Among those who have already left
for the chicken fields, or who are booked
for an early departure, are Fred Schiff-
man, w. L. Perkins Jr., Attorney General
Douglass and Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Donahower, State Auditor Dunn.
Charles E. Gooch, George Bobleter,
lerton and a host of others.
The season on quail and cartridges
opens one month from today. Illinois and
some of the prairie states have always
been noted for the quail, but Southern
Minnesota every year is the point visited
bv number of the Twin City sportsmen
who delight in hunting the little bird.
The season on aquatic fowl and prairie
chickens closes Nov. l.
low Nv
Beutner ventured the assertion that
there were more deer and moose in the
woods this year than has been known for
several seasons. Mr.. Beutner recently Wis
tied his home at Proctor Knott, and while
there two>large moose were killed on the
right of way of the railroad by the trains.
He has Travelled over a greater part OF
the state, and is very emphatic in the
statement that Minnesota's game has
been better protected this year than ever
before in the history Of the state, and the
violations have been reduced to mini
mum.
81 believe that there are more moose
in st. Louis, Beltrami and Lake county
than any other place in the United
States" said Mr.. Beutner During the
warm weather the flies and mosquitoes
drive them into the water, and any one
going up any of the branches or tribu-
taries of the st. Louis is sure to see them
standing in the water. While the cows
are little shy, bull will often stand
in the water and watch. canoe go past
within very few yards without moving.
The season OH moose is from Nov. to
Nov 10, and every hunter is restricted to
one moose. and must accompany the game
If it is shipped. With deer the season is
a little longer lasting from the first to
the twentieth Of the same month. No
hunter is allowed to kill more than five
deer, and none can be shipped during the
first five days of the season"
