The RAILROADS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The North Coast Limited of the North
ern Pacific railroad will be re-estab-
lished in February, and it is to be
strictly pay train" No passes what>
ever will be honored, and it is rumored
that the president himself will have to
put up cash or else walk. All the annual
passes that have been received by the
officers and employees of the road con-
tain the statement that they will not
be good on the North Coast Limited.
On November of last year Charles S.
Fee, general passenger and freight
agents, sent notice to all ticket agents
that newspaper passes would not be
recognized on the North Coast Limited.
The wording of the latter was:
II want to give you advance notice
at this early date that editorial tickets
of any kind will not be good on the
North Coast Limited train when it is
re-established next year."
President j. J. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad, on his way to New
York last Tuesday, stopped over in Chi
cago just long enough to be caught by
an Inter Ocean reporter. He said in
answer to questions:
"All this talk about consolidating the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
St. Paul railroads is bosh. Such con-
solidation would be legal and physi-
cal impossibility. The fact is that some
steps have been taken toward COM
munity CT financial interest regarding
the various properties, with the object
of insuring stability of rates and more
economical operation of all the roads.
No further information as to the
cause of the advance in st. Paul securi-
ties is to be obtained at headquarters.
None of the officials manifest any un-
eas.ness as to his tenure of Office be-
cause of the recent financial develop
ments. About the only complaint made
by the minor officials is that they did
not put all the money they could get
a few weeks ago into the stock of the
company. President Earring declines
to be interviewed on the subject, but
it is generally believed around the st.
Paul headquarters that he did not dis
pose of any of his stock before or dur
ing the boom.
Detectives of the Western Passenger
association secured proof last Saturday
that the publishers of several weekly
papers issued in Chicago had formed an
alliance for the purpose of selling half
rate tickets and other forms of trans
portatiOn issued to them by railroads
in exchange for advertising.
The publishers Of one of the papers
supplied one of the detectives with over
5000 worth of transportation, and other
detectives secured from other publish
ers in the ring from S25 to so worth
of transportation. So cleverly did one
detective play his part that publisher
| Took his to the advertising agents of the
Burlington, Northwestern, Santa Fee
and Rock Island roads and introduced
him to them as one of the editors OF
his paper.
The results OF the operations of the
detectives have been sent by the West

Immediately cancel their contracts with
the papers violating the contract by
disposing of transportation to outsiders.
A member of the Western PassengeA
association estimates that over $5,UU0
worth of transportation issued to about
five weekly newspapers during the past
few months has been sold to persons
in no way connected with the publica-
tions and therefore not entitled to use
the transportation.
The Pennsylvania, Illinois Central,
and Alton railroads have advertised for
bids for the elevation of tracks las
planned some time ago and approved by
the city council. Details of the plan
have been published. 1t includes the
network of tracks at Grand Crossing,
and provides for the abolition of the
v1aduct at Thirty-ffth street. where
the Alton tracks are located. The total
work will cost nearly $3,000,000. The
work will be pushed rapidly in the
spring.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

BORROWING MONEY,

Owners of real estate property can
usually borrow about so per cent. of it's
value only. Owners of policies of life
insurance in the Mutual Life of New
York can on an average borrow so per
cent. of their investment, besides the
fact that their life is insured all the time.
