WHY THE GATE STANDS AJAR
New Reason Assigned for Opening
Denver Passage to other
Roads.

Railroad men have found another reason
for the opening of the Denver gateway by
the Union Pacific to the Rock Island and
Burlington. 1t is that an alliance was be-
ing brought about between the Clark and
Moffatt people which would connect Sena-
tor Clark's San Pedro line at Salt Lake
City with Moffatt's Denver, Northwestern
g. Pacific.
Whether this alliance will be consum-
mated or abandoned, now that the gateway
has been thrown open, is a matter Of con-
siderable speculation 1t is generally sup
posed that the Moores made some pledges
to Hartman as to the relations with Moi
tatt's line when completed, which had a
great deal to do with the concessions &C
quired by the Rock Island.
In connection with the Moffatt line and its
relation to the Union Pacific, a report comes
from authentic sources that the survey
which is now being made from Grand En-
campmeDt, Wyo., to Hog Park, via South
Fork, by the Union Pacific will not be
stopped until the line reaches m
Springs, where it is proposed to make the
connection of the Union Pacific branch and
the Moffatt line. Such a route would at
ford the Union Pacific a short line to Dem
YER, traversing a country rich in mineral
deposits and covered with valuable timber.

A GAIN BY THE n. f. d. SYSTEM
Pat Illustration Of What the System
Does in Placing Mail Where
1t Belongs. >,'

Mikes are greatly reduced in number
by the rural free delivery system. Out
Of 400 letters sent out recently by local
house to persons in Richfeld and Bloom
ington townships, the name of the town
ship being the only direction as to place
given, only ninety were returned as mix
les" or. non-deliYerable for insufficient
address. The carriers were able to find
many persons who would not otherwise
have received their letters by calling at
fourth class postoffices. Formerly seven
postofices supplied the patrons in ques-
tion. Under such conditions the 400 let
ters might have, been sent to any of the
fourth class postoftices, and In all proba-
bility only small percentage would have
gone to the particular one at which the
addresses. were accustomed to call. 49,
Under the new system the two rural
carriers who supply; every house in the
two townships, while distributing their
routes sit side by side: in Statiaon D at
Thirty-first and Nicollet. They have lists
OF every one living in the two townships.
If one carrier fails to identify an ad-
dress the other is sure to find him if
there. The ninety letters remaining were

RAILROAD RUMBLES
GRAIN RATES PROBLEM
Subject for Anxious Consideration
by II. II. Officials at Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Traf11c officials OF
western roads are meeting here to discuss
gram rates. J. J. Hills action IN reduc-
ing grain rates on all lines of the Great
Northern may result in troutle among all
western roads. The Wabash and Burling-
ton roads cancelled their notices of in
tention to reduce grain rates to Chl-
cago, according to their recent promises,
and the only road which now has pubic
tariff quoting less than the agreed grain
rates is the Oklahoma, Kansas City q
Eastern. the Stillwell road. 1t is making
a rate OF cents on wheat from Kansas
City to the Missouri river. to~meet which
the Kansas City, Chicago rate should be
II cents, or l cent less than the agreed
rate of the direct lines.
Because the tariff of the Stillwell road
is to expire Aug %, the traffic oft1c1als
Of the other lines yesterday agreed to
ignore that tariff. While the competition
of that line is little feared, there is much
uneasfness among other roads as to the
effect Of the policy to which J. j. Hill has
committed himself. Traffic officials OF
competing lines suspect his scheme is to
divert all grain traffic to Duluth, from
which point it will go east in his steam
ships Before the other lires from the
northwest will consent to such man1pula-
tion Of the grain traffic they will make
