DULUTH AND WINNIPEG
VIII Soon BE Connected by Direct
Railway Line.

Railway Line.
DULUTH. Mimi, Aug. "a direct line
of railway from Winnipeg to Duluth Is
about to be realized. Late yesterday aft
ernoon articles of Incorporation of the
Manitoba & Lake Superior Railway COM
pany were filed with the register of deeds
for st. Louis county There is an impress
sion in railway circles that the newly in
corporated road is the Duluth line of the
Winnipeg & Southern, which has just
been completed between Winnipeg and
the International boundary in the dircc-
ton of Duluth, terminating Immediately
west of the Lake of the Woods, near
Warroad, MINI.
According to the articles, "the general
nature of its business shall be to build,
maintain and operate a railway and tele-
graph line from a point on Lake Superior
or near Duluth in a general northwesterly
direction to a point on the international
boundary between Minnesota and Mani
toba west of the Lake of the Woods also
power to build, own and operate a line
of vessels to be run in connection with the
railway
The principal offices will be In Duluth
The amount of capital stock is 100000
The limit of indebtedness Is $1O,O0O,0OO.
The names of the incorporators are
James T. Ross, Alexander R. Sinclair,
Ralph ]. Davis, Wayland w, Sanford and
Franklin E. Searle, all of Duluth.
The proposed road would bring Duluth
from 100 to $50 miles nearer to the Mani
toba metropolis than Port Arthur
James T. Ross, secretary Of the Canada
Atlantic Transit company, and general
agent here, as one of the incorporators,
gives the impression that the Canada At
lantic is interested, and that it will be the
boat line for the new road.

MAY GUT GRAIN TARIFFS
NORTHERN LINES MET YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON AT THE OMAHA
GENERAL OFFICES
ALTON TO GET INTO DENVER
1t VIII Secure the Kansas Pacific
Branch of the Union Pacific
From Kansas City
Through.

Traffic officials held an important meet
ing at the Omaha building yesterday,
and the northern lines took action which
may result in general cutting of grain
rates by the lines running into Chica-
go from the lower Mississippi crossings
The lines running into Chicago and
Milwaukee direct requested the northern
lines to increase the rates on grain.
Complaint was made by the Illinois Cen
trail, the Milwaukee road, the Chicago
& Northwestern, and one or two other
lines, that the present rates on grain
from Iowa, Nebraska and southern South
Dakota points to Minneapolis, St Paul
and Duluth, were so low that all the
grain was coming this way, and that
Chicago and Milwaukee were not getting
their share. The rates are from to 8
cents in favor of the Twin Cities, there
fore the grain is diverted from the low
er Mississippi crossings, such as Dubuque,
Davenport, Rock Island, etc., causing
Chicago to lose some of It's former pres
tige.
Although none Of the officials present
would divulge any information, it is I'M
derstood that the northern lines refused
to grant the request. The lines being
benefited by the low rates are the Great
Northern, Minneapolis & st. Louis, the
Omaha, and to some extent the Great
Western. AS the North Western and the
Omaha belong to the same system, their
is rather a peculiar one.
There were present at the meeting
Marvin Hughitt, Jr., freight traffic man
ager of the Chicago & Northwestern;
NJ c. Marcum, assistant traffic manager
of the Illinois Central; Vive President
Darius Miller, of the Great Northern;
General Freight Agent G. S. o. Somers,
of the Great Northern; j. H. IIiland, gen.
eral traffic manager of the Milwaukee;
H. F. Pierpont, assistant general freight
agent of the Milwaukee; T. H. Sim
mons, general freight agent of the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, and

ALTON WILL REACH DENVER.
Will Have It's own Through Line to
COIoradO's CaDitaI

1t Is predicted that by the end of the
current year the Chicago & Alton rail-
way will have line of its own between
Chicago and Denver. Negotiations are
now in progress in New York for the pur
pose of perfecting a deal whereby the
Union Pacific is to sell to the Alton its
Kansas City division, running from Kan
Pacific has no particular use for this
property 1t is not connected east Of
Denver with its main line, and the latter
finds an outlet to Denver by the Jules
burg cut-off which was formerly owned
by the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf, but
was acquired about a year ago by the
Union Pacific.
The Alton needs the Kansas, Pacific
badly, having no independent outlet west
of Denver. 1t has had for years a close
traffic contract with the Kansas City, but
not controlling the lines. 1t was unable
to compete with the Burlington, Rock
Island and Santa Fe railways, which
have lines of their own west of the Mis-
souri, for Colorado and Kansas business.
E. H. Hartman, the head of the Syndi-
cate which controls the Chicago & Alton,
is also chairman of the board of directors
of the Union Pacific, which practically di-
reefs the affairs of the latter His inter
est in the Alton, however, is far greater
than in the Union Pacific, the Wander
bilts having large interest in the lat
ter. 1t has long been the opinion that it
was Mr.. Harriman's object to take the
Kansas Pacific branch from the Union
Pacific and make it part Of the Alton
system.
The directors of the Alton and the
Union Pacific roads will meet In New
York, on Sept. 1 to formally complete the
deal for the absorption of the Kansas
Pacific by the Chicago & Alton.

North Dakota Property Assessed
Same as Last Year.

BISMARCK, N. D, Aug. 9.-The state
board Of equalization by resolution as
sessed railroad property in the state at
the same value per mile as fixed by the
board last year, or at an average Of Sc 500
a mile through the state. A number of
railroad representatives, including G. S.
Fernald, of the Northern Pacific; r. A
Wilkinson, of the Great Northern; c. S.
Foster, of the Northwestern, and H. B.
Dixie, of the 500. appeared before the
board and asked that some reductions be
made on branches, which they claimed
were Improbable, but, after considering
the matter, the board decided on the
same figures as adopted last year. This
makes the total valuation in this state
about 100000 for railroads.
The Bismarck. Washburn & Great Falls
road, Senator WashbuTn's twenty-seven
mile line between Bismarck and Wilton.
was assessed at $500 mile. There is
some question as to whether this can
be assessed this year, but the board de-
cided to fix its value and the matter Of
the legality Of the assessment NAV be
settled afterwards. The DEVILS Lake &.
Chautauqua short line from Devils Lake
to the Chautauqua grounds was assessed
at 5000 a mile.
