SITUATION is SERIOUS.
Lack of Cars May Force Mills to
Shut Down.

Lack of Cars May Force Mills to
Shut Down.
The flour situation in Minneapolis Is
getting serious The millerS are all COM
planning because of the scarcity OF cars.
A number of them say that if relief is
not furnished promptly they will be COM
PEELED to shut down.
The mills have a large number OF Or
ders on their books and customers are In
need of the flour, but they are unable to
make the shipments Their storage ca
pacity is also all filled up, were it not
for this fact they might continue to run
and store their flour ssil the situation
on cars eased up a little, but with no
storage room and no cars it is difficult
problem to figure out just what will be
the result.
The wheat receipts are also falling off,
and the roads are unable to even furnish
cars to haul the wheat from the termi-
nal elevators to the mills. A more COM
plicated condition of affairs could scarce
ly exist. 1t is understood that the only
roads that can at the present time fur
nish any relief are the Milwaukee, the
equipment is so limited that it does very
little good.
A, number of the mills are loading flour
in Great Northern and Northern Pacific
cars that come in loaded with wheat,
which can under no circumstances be
loaded East. but they fill them up with
flour and send them out, and take
chances on getting them transferred into
cars that can run East. II they arc
not transferred they furnish temporary
storage for the mills SO it helps part
of the situation to a certain extent.

FOREIGNERS ORDER ENGINES.
American Companies Build Them for
Japan and Australia.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA number of i'm
portant contracts for locomotives to be
used by various foreign governments and
private railroads have been placed in the
United States within the last few days.
The American Locomotive company, of
this city, has captured contract Tor
thirty locomotives intended for the
japanese governments railways. The
engines will be built at Schenectady.
The same American concern is also
building twelve locomotives for the Kul-
shi railway, one of the big private rail-
roads operated in the Japanese empire.
This makes the sixth order, seventy-two
engines in all, that the American loco
motive concern has secured from that
road within the last two years.
The HoSkaido railway, controlled by
the Japanese government, has ordered
six American built engines.
The Baldwin Locomotive works, of
Philadelphia, has been awarded con-
tract calling for eighteen locomotives to
be shipped to the West Australian gov
ernment railways, and thirty-six Amer
dean locomotives have also been con-
tracted for on behalf of the New South
Wales government railways. The II. K.
Porter company, of Pittsburg, has been
allotted an order for four locomotives
for use in the coal mines near Johannes
burg, South Africa.

CLEARING YARD FOR CARS.
One VIII Be Opened at Chicago OF
Jan. i.

One VIII BE Opened at Chicago on
Jan. i.
After several years work a novel clear
ing and switching yard for freight cars
will be opened for business on the old
Stickney tract, in Chicago, Jan. l. The
plan of the company which has built the
yards, is to provide a great center where
the through cars of all roads may be
switched, made into trains and delivered
to connecting lines.
While the idea itself dates back nine
or ten years, the plans have been so al
tered that the yard as it is finished is
entirely different from the first drawings.
From the fact that Chicago is the cen
trail point of many railroads, there are
continually arriving from every section
trains of through freight destined for
various parts of the country reached by
different roads Under the present sys-
ten loaned cars from the West bound for
points east, north and south of Chicago
and vice versa, must be delivered to the
road reaching the point of destination.
This work is gigantic, and has always
been done either by the belt railway
or by the road over which the traffic is to
go. 1t is to eliminate much of the eX-
pense and work of this delivery process
that the new clearing yards of the Ter
L
The new yards are located near the
village of Lyons. twelve miles from the
Chicago city hall They are connected
with the Chicago Terminal Transfer, the
Chicago Junction, and the Chicago Belt
roads In the yards are los miles OF
track, covering an area measuring 1900
by 900 feet. The plan proposed is that
freight coming into Chicago over any
road shall be taken to the clearing yards
without being brought into the city at all.
T. In the yards the engines of the Clear
ing company will switch the cars and
make up trains for delivery to the roads
over which they are to be taken to Chi
cago.
Tracks in the yard are laid out symmet-
rically on either side of a center and
from both ends converging toward the
operating tower. The tracks are built on
an artificial embankment twenty-four feet
high at the central point and sloping
toward either end of the yard. The slope
from the center is provided so that cars
when cut off will quickly run to their re-
spective tracks, allowing more rapid op-
Grafton
Managers of the new yards claim that
trains can he classified at a speed of two
to four miles an hour, and that from 5000
to 5000 cars can be handled into and the
same number out of the yards per day OF
twenty-four hours. There are sixty
switches controlled by an electro-pneu-
matte system, to be operated by push but
tons from a single tower.
There will be forty classification tracks,
each $500 feet in length. A large power
house, roundhouse and other structures
have been erected. -Four consolidation
engines will be used in the yards.
officers of the Chicago roads as yet
give no opinion on the practicability of
the new yards So far as is learned the
clearing company has obtained contracts
with none of the roads for use of the
yards The consensus of opinion among
the railroad men is that the yard must
prove its alleged saving features before
any road will go into the deal.

TINE IS SHORTENED
NORTH Announces NEW
SCHEDULE TO TAKE EFFECT
DEC. %
MAIL TO CARRY NO PASSENGERS
Limited Saves Thirty-Five Minutes,
but Fifty Minutes Is Added
to Time of Fast
Mail.

The time fight of the roads between
ST. Paul and Chicago, so far as the
North Western is concerned, seems 70 he
settled for the pesent, as this road mas
announced a change in time between
here and Chicago on two of its trains,
shortening the trip of the North West
ern limited and lengthening that OF the
fast mail.
After Dec. % the Northwestern Limit
ed will leave Minneapolis at S O'Clock G.
M. and st. Paul $50. instead of 1850 and
$40, respectively as is the present sched-
uIe. This train will arrive in Chicago
at 9:25 a. m. instead of $3.50, as at present,
thus shortening the time thirty-five min
uteS on this run.
The fast mail, however, will leave st.
Paul at Cos p. M, instead of 6:55 and
will arrive in Chicago at o'clock a. M,
as it does now. This makes a difference
of fifty minutes in the time of this train.
The fast mail going to Chicago will carry
no passengers at ALL but will be strictly
a mail and express train. Coming from
Chicago it will carry no passengers be-
tween Eau Claire and the Twin Cities.
The following changes In the time OF
the Omaha trains, to take effect at the
same time, were announced yesterday.
The Omaha Limited No will leave St.
Paul at $40 p. M, instead of $50, the
present time of leaving, and the Twin
City Limited No. 2 from Omaha will ar
rive in ST. Paul 7:35 a. M, instead of 7:25.
This would seem to settle the dispute,
as far as the North Western line is con-
cerned, but whether or not they will stick
to the schedule announced yesterday il
the other roads begin to cut the time
is question.
Local officials seem to be skeptical of
a slow time agreement between the roads
running to Chicago, and they say that
at any time the public may look for a
big reduction in time between the points
in dispute. 1t is everywhere acknowledg-
ed that at least two of the roads are
not making anywhere near the time that
they are capable of between St. Paul and
Chicago.

three months Of the date of the order,
while the English manufacturers could
not dc better than twelve to seventeen
months. The price of the American
locomotives was 20 per cent lower than
that of the English engines. 1t was too
carly to expect decided opinion of the
respective merits of the different makes
of engines. He recommended the Amer
