SEEKING ORIENTAL TRADE.
An Important Meeting ut which n
Method VIII he Sought to Quickly
Develop the Far Eastern Business
Freight Rates May Ne Changed.

One OF the most important transporta-
ton meetings ever held In the West
for a long time is scheduled to take
place in San Francisco on May l and
continue for several days. 1t is expected
there will be present representatives
from every railroad line operating west
OF the Missouri river. together with the
home and Oriental agents Of the various
transpacihc steamship companies.
The primary objects OF the meeting are
to exchange views regarding the trade
of the transpacific countries and the
methods most applicable for their devel-
opment. In this way It is expected to
more generally receive a knowledge of
the class OF goods most sought after
abroad. and thus be able to better adj
just rates on these goods intended for
pal roads to be represented are the Great
Northern. Northern Pacific. Canadian Pa
cifr. Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and
o. r.. & N.
I'm the past said a local freight man
yesterday. there has been too much
trouble over an equitable division Of
freight rates to the orient between the
steamship and railroad lines. The rail-
roads have made what they considered
reasonable tarir on goods for China
and Japan and other countries, but the
steamship companies claim that when
they add a reasonable rate TO the trans
continental rate the price becomes higher
than the same class of goods can be
bought for In the Orient from other
countries. On some things the railways
are low enough. but on others the rate
must be lowered. 1t Is to talk over these
matters and see IL rates cannot be made
so as 10 develop a much larger Oriental
trade that the meeting has been called
There Is no doubt that 1t will result
