If present conditions continue, the car
famine proposition is destined to assume
serious proportions in Minneapolis. T h e
G o b called on the different roads en-
tering Minneapolis yesterday, and they
ali had the same story to tell.
They all admit that. they don't know
what they will do if things keep up. The
various shippers have made contracts,
agreeing to deliver goods in certain speci-
fed time, and they are not able to COM
ply with their contracts, because they
cannot get cars; the roads are not able
to furnish cars. and the parties in the
Fest threaten to.sue for damages if goods
are not delivered as per contract.
The roads, of course, get all the blame,
because cars are not furnished and the
lives OF the representatives, these days,
are not one continuous round of pleas
IRE. While they are in their Offices tcey
are being continually called to the tele-
phones to answer the why's and the
wherefores of not furnishing cars, and
Why they have not done as they agreed.
When they are out on the street. they
are continually being called down by
shippers for their neglect in not being
able to furnish cars
Shippers have got into such desperate
straits for cars, that they have at various
times loaded cars for points that could
rot possibly be used by roads over which
they had to go; in these cases. of course,
they had to be transferred, and this al.
ways causes hard feelings, as the ship
rers would insist that the road haul the
car regardless of whether it belonged to
them or not This, of course, cannot be
done except they get permission from the
road that owns the car, and at present
time this is an impossibilIly.
x An estimate given by the different roads
today shows that they are short on their
orders at least 1.500 cars and this short
age keeps getting larger. each day, and
the car supply into this market getting
less. The business that is to be moved is
very large especially at this time of year
when the season of navigation is drawing
to a close. as everybody wishes to have
ii moved on the cheapest rates.
All the representatives claim that the
situation is getting very serious, and if
it is not soon relieved, serious losses will
occur either to. the consignee or con-
sgnor, as it is out of the question for
the road to stand in the gap when it is
unable to furnish cars.

Despite President Earrings denial the
rumor to the effect that the Milwaukee
wants to buy the Great Western contin-
ues to gain credence. and there is a
prevalent belief throughout the East that
such a deal is but matter of time. 1t
is said that the North Western also
wants the Great Western, and the pre-
vailing opinion is that the Great Western
wlll be absorbed by the Milwaukee and
North Western in common, the latter
using it as a connection to Kansas City,
and the Milwaukee as relief route to
Chicago.
The Milwaukee is preparing to bid
heavily for Northwest traffic, and has I'M
der way several lines directly connecting
Chicago with the Dakota wheat fields.
The Milwaukee is constructing line
from Mankato 10 connect with it's inc
at Pennington.
Another line is contemplated which will
connect the Mankato- Pennington line
with the main lire of the Hastings &
Dakota division, somewhere between Bird
Island and Hector. Such line would
give the Milwaukee remarkably
straight road, directly into Chicago from
the South Dakota wheat district. The
line would follow the Minnesota river
from Ottawa to-St. Peter thence to a
junction with the Hastings & Dakota. A
surveying crew has already traversed the
territory interested.

LYDIARD MAY LOSE.
May Have Ordered Bicycle Tags
Without Authority.

If the local wlleelmen carry out the
plans they purpose and the county COM
mlsloners grant their request, City Clerk
sLydIard will be up against serious
proposition
1t seems~that Lydiard has ordered 80
tO0 bIcycle tags. for next year, to cost $50
thousand, and now the local wheel
men are going to petition the. county
commissioners to appoint county SIDE
path commission. q
II the commissioners do this, the side
path commissioners will have the selec-
ton OF tags for the coming year, and it
is not at all probable that they will ac-s
cept the city clerks selection; if they do
not the city clerk will be out about 81 $50.
heretofore the city clerk handled all
the tags, and he took it for granted that
this arrangement would continue indef-
initely, but as the side path proposition
mas grown to such proportions in the
past two years it is thought best to have
q regular commission to look after this
branch Of the city business.
1t such commission is appointed it
will work without compensation. The
county treasurer is made the depository
of all the funds received from the sale,
Of tags. Under these circumstances it is
argued that it would be to the best ip-
terest of the county and city to have such
arrangements.

Runs ARE HEIGHTENED.
Conductors Cover Greater Distances
Than Formerly


AS the speed of trains is accelerated be-
tween distant points the runs made by
train and Pullman conductors are length
ened. The conductors on the Rock ISL
and fast mail, from Chicago TO Des
Moines, run 35S miles. Returning the
next morning they lay over one and a
half days in Chicago before going ous
again. On the Union Pacific conductors
en- the overland and limited mail train
run from Omaha to Cheyenne and from
Cheyenne 10 Ogden. SIS and 5l4 miles, re-
spectlvely. The time on the road is.
however. less than years ago, when the
runs were below 300 miles in length.
The distance covered by the Pullman
conductors are vastly greater than those
by train conductors. From Chicago to
Denver is. 1,041 miles. Pullman car con-
dnctors consider this a short run. The
men in charge OF the sleeping cars on
the North Western and Union Pacific
accompany their cars from Chicago to
Portland, Or.
1t takes nine days to make the round
trip of nearly 4,000 miles, and they make
about two and hall trips per month.
On the Atchison the Pullman con-
ductors run from Chicago to San Fran
cisco, and on the Canadian Pacific they
remain with their cars across the conti-
nent from Portland Me. to Vancouver
and Victoria, which requires nearly SIX
days. Or the illinois Central they run
from Sioux City to New Orleans.

SPARKS FROM THE RAILS.

The Milwaukee has succeeded IN MT
ing the freight blockade which has Grip
plet the road for the past two or three
weeks. Fast freight lines have been
notified that the road is once more in a
position to handle their business. The
blockade was caused by lack of boats
at Milwaukee, into which to load the con-
tents of several hundred cars which were
awaiting the boats at the docks.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis has COM
menced injunction proceedings against
the Chicago Great Western to prevent
the latter road from building its proposed
big bridge over the Des Moines river at
Fort Dodge. The bridge crosses the st.
Louis tracks IN such a manner that the
latter company claims its yard facilities
will be seriously crippled.
The Transcontinental Passenger asSo-
citation will meet in st. Louis within a
short time, and at that time the ques-
ton of asking the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific to join will come up. 1t
is believed these systems will enter the
association in the interests of greater
harmony.
Fifty thousand tons of merchandise
are said to be awaiting shipment at the

mittees having in charge the campaign
of the rival candidates, Messrs. Paris and

if elected, and it would seem that which
eve. one was elected, the club would
have made no mistake in their selection
of the pt oper party to carry them
through one more year of prosperity.
1t was rumoIed some time ago that q
dark horse was likely to be sprung at
the last moment but this apparently
seems without foundation, as nearly
every member is wo: king for either one
or the other of the, avowed candidates.
The polls will open promptly at p. m.
next Monday evening. and there will be
four ballot boxes, which will facilitate
the matter of counting when the polls
are closed
Besides the president and other officers
of the club, there will be ten directors
to elect. The members are urged to come
early in order that they may get through
with everything as quickly as possible.
