FREIGHT WAR PROMISED.
Result of a New and Powerful Com
bination of Western Roads.

-Four of the most powerful systems
entering Denver are said TO be ar
rayed against each other for the pur-
pose OF waging freight war west Of
the Missouri river. New combinations
are effected in this battle for prestige.
The Burlington and the Union Pacific
are placed on the one side. and the
Missouri Pacific and the Rio Grande on
the other. Up to the present time the
combinations of the four roads have
been with the Burlington and the Rio
Grande against the other two roads.
The officers of the Burlington and
the Union Pacific feel that they have
been getting the worst of il, and the
combination is the result. The combi-
nation will make divisions on all bust
ness east and west of Denver. 1t is
said the agreement was made several
days ago, but was not made public.
owing TO concessions which they
wished TO get from some of the other
roads. The officials of the Burlington
and it's ally state that the new combi-
nation Will go into effect on the first
of the month. They decline to discuss
the probable result on freight rates.
An eastern railway official is quoted
as saying that heretofore the Burling-
tons only connection west of Denver
was with the Rio Grande. The new
Noiu tAOik VIII DIlIR about an
enlargement between these two roads.
The Missouri Pacific and the Union
Pacific had an arrangement by which
they could ship freight between Den
yer and Ogden on schedule time nearly
twenty-fOur hours earlier than the
Burlington could deliver 1t over the
Rio Grande. BY the new Arrangement
the Burlington has one of the quickest
routes to the east, and il will make a
big difference with it's Pacific coast
business.
The Burlington will also be the
gamer in the haul between Denver and
Kansas City. Prior to the combination
the Union Pacific would only receive
Burlington consignments at Missouri
river points. The Burlington has its
own line into Denver, and this meant
the loss of a fifty-four hours haul. The
Union Pacific will receive its advan-
tages from the combination on routing
business east of Denver. It Will now
receive Burlington consignments at
Denver.
Until a week ago the Union Pacific
had but one eastern connection. This
was with the Missouri Pacific. Three
weeks ago a combination was effected
with the Rock Island. This com bina-
ton leaked out, although it was in
tended to keep ii a secret The Rio
Grande and the Missouri Pacific are re-
garded as being up against a pretty
strong combination, and whether they
will submit quietly or start a rate war
is a speculation that is interesting rGN-
road circles. 1t is believed that the lat
ter viii be the case. The Burlington
people are pleased with the advantage
they have gained for their line west of
Denver. They believe the new combina-
ton Will give them a quicker and bet
ter service

MOVING TO THE GULF.
Probable That the Rock Island VIII
Not Wait to Build.

In its maneuvers to become a trans
continental system, the Rock Island
has sprung one sensation after anoth-
err and the railroad world has been
waiting to see what surprise it will
spring next. In the meantime. its
movement toward the gulf has held the
interest Of the railroad world and fur
nished as much curiosity as the union
Of southern Pacific rail and steam
ship service. There is yet no certainty
what route the road will adopt TO
reach Galveston. 1t is Il question if il
has settled upon the route and this
statement is supported by the fact
that il has four surveying corps in
the field.
II is certain to enter Galveston over
its own lines in the near future, but
recent developments indicate that il
will run into the gulf city before it's
own tracks are laid. Even If the road
were commenced today il would be at
least n year or longer before the road
could be built from Fort Worth to Gall
weston. Information comes from a re-
liable source that the Rock Island will
enter Galveston over the tracks of
three different lines. The route viii
be over the Katy from Fort Worth to
Waco and then over the International
& Great Northern to Houston via the
lnternationars new line. From Hous-
ton to Galveston the road will so over
the Santa Fe.
Some changes may appear later in
this route, but it is known that the
Rock Island is figuring on a COmbina-
ton about as outlined. and they are
getting down to the details very rap
idly. While the surveying corps is
measuring and mapping out routes, the
officials are closing details to get some
of the business OF the southwest. 1t
IS asserted that the Rock Island viii
be going into Galveston by the first of
the year or sooner.

has abandoned the idea of building into

MAKES EXCELLENT SHOWING.
Oregon Short Line Affairs in a Most
Prosperous Condition.

circular issued by Boissevain &
Co. regarding the per cent bonds of
the Oregon Short Line company, shows
the affairs of the road to be in the most
fiattering condition. The gross earn
ings of the company, estimated on the
basis of last years earnings, are So
673, 279 The net receipts, after deduct
ing operating expenses and taxes. are
s.. 012,274. The surplus, after deducting
for funded debts and including inter
est on stock of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company amounts TO S3.-
437. 103, which is equal to 12i2 per cent
of the capital stock of the Oregon Short
Line, large share of which is owned
by the Union Pacific.
1t is pointed out that as the Union
Pacific system shows an increase of 10
per cent over last year for the fiscal
year ending June 80. the Oregon Short
Line results this year should be even
better than last year. The circular
also calls attention to the fact that
the constituent companies of the North
ern Securities company this year
earned well over 6 per cent, thus in
creasing the Short Lines equity in the
property. The firm recommends the
bonds as safe and desirable invest
