Santa Fe Claims That Competing
Roads Violated Agreement.
Was Forced to Cut Down Grain
Rates.
N OFFICIAL TALKS.
Says Santa Fe Tried to Keep
Rates Up.
Northwestern Lines Will Be
Drawn Into the War.

Chicago. Aug 22-Grain rates from
the Missouri river territory have taken
a tumble to the low level In erect prior
to August a.
There has been an uneasy feeling in
western railroad circles ever since the
rates were advanced August Is owing
to reports that some of the roads were
not acting in good faith A humber of
meetings for the investigation of the
charges have been held since then, but
each time assurances We're given by the
representatives of all the lines that the
new rates were being firmly main
tanned. Positive information. however.
was received here yesterday that some
of the roads had failed to put the new
rates in effect and thereupon the Santa
Fe promptly gave notice that the rates
in effect prior to August IA, both from
the Missouri river and tranSm1SSourl
territory would be continued.
AT a meeting held here July it was
agreed that August Is grain rates
should be advanced as follows: From
Missouri river to Chicago from to IL
cents hundred pounds, from the Mis-
-ouri river to the Mississippi river from
to 8 cents, from the Missouri river to
Gulf points from II to Is cents.
The reasons for taking this action are
explained by a prominent official of the
Santa Fe as follows:
This company promptly put the ad-
vance rates in effect August IA and
maintained them faithfully. On Friday.
August 16. we received information that
the Burlington had given notice that it's
rates would not be advanced until Aug
ust 26. On Saturday this was confirm
ed, but we were afterwards advised
that the advanced rates would be pro-
tected. The Rock Island and other lines
when informed of the Burlington's ac-
tion, extended the old rates until Aug
ust %. At Mondays meeting it was re-
ported that the error had been correct
ed. 1t transpired yesterday that nearly
all of the AtchiSOnS competitors were
contracting grain at the old basis.
Shipments which were to go over our
road were sent east over competing
lines on account of the lower rate they
made
I'VE also found that the st. Louis
and San Francisco had notified shippers
that the old basis of rates would apply
from transmissouri territory to gulf
ports until September l. AS transmits
souri, territory is the section from which
we expected to reap the greatest benefit
we felt that the object of the advance
had been largely defeated so far as our
line was concerned. vet we were willing
to keep I'D the rates from the Missouri
river, but in self-defense were finally
compelled to go back to the old low
rates from all points,
Missouri river would not necessarily af-
feet the rates from the northwest. yet
the lines from st. Paul and Minneapolis
to Chicago mean to meet the reduced
rates.

After spending several hours in the
city looking over the depot and the
track facilities, Mr.. Hurley left for the
south without communication of any
kind to the local officials or any one
else. It has been known for some time
that the Santa Fe has been contemplate

The management is taking every
possible means to see that this develop
ment is aided and promoted. Steps
have been taken to colonize vast areas
of productive land in Texas, Louisiana
and California, and the country through
which the tracks run is filing up fast
It is largely because of this faith in the
future of the Southern Pacific territory
that the management decided, it is as
serted, to make a bond issue of $780,

$25000,000 will be issued at once with a
view to making it available for improve

WILL 1T HELP KANSASP
Rates to G.. A. r. Encampment Cut to
Cent Mile in Northwest.

officers of the Grand Army of the Re-
public have succeeded in forcing the
western roads to put down the rate to
the encampment at Washington to l
cent a mile. The eastern roads agreed
to 1-cent a mile rate, but the western
roads in the money taken in for fares,
round trip. 1t was rumored lately that
some of the western roads had privately
made contracts for the transportation
of large posts from st. Paul and Min
neapolis at l cent a mile The Mil
waukee & St Paul, having become sat
isfied that these rumors had good fOun-
dalton, has given notice that it will
make a 1-cent a mile rate.
If this rate is extended to other and
southwestern lines, as well as the north
western, it will mean good deal to the
roads in the money taken in for farces,
unless, as is claimed by the veterans.
the cheaper rate brings out many thou
sands of travellers who would stay at
home if it is not put in.
From the southwestern section Kan
sas ranks high among the old soldier
states and it will send a large nun Der
of delegates and visitors to the national
encamoment. The Santa Fe is arrang-
ward as Chicago. Nebraska and the Da-
kotas are also soldier states. and the
Burlington, Rock Island. Northwestern,
st. Paul. Great Western and otheA
lines are preparing to handle a large
number of people. All of the territory
named will be greatly affected by the
1-cent mile rate. and the states east
of the Missouri river will feel it only in
a proportion less than these because
the distance to Chicago is less.
The Central Passenger associat ton has
not entirely settled some of the matters
relating to the encampment rates. and
there will be a meeting in Chicago next
week to consider some of these. One
of the unsettled questions is said to be
an extension of the encan pment rates
