Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1903-10-24

We know some men who keep
themselves poor jus: moving
around an uneasy, discontented
dissatisfied lot, always thinking
they can find some place where q
living can be made easier, where
they can find better neighbors and
enjoy life better. Now, where the
move involves the disposal of a
farm and its belongings and the
usual loss of a crop year, it will cost
81 900 or more to. 1t often happens
that this money. put into improve
ments would make the old stand
just the place wanted. It lie a good
thing that things are 80 fixed that q
man can make just as much money
one place az another.

TURNS ! TRADE WEST.
The "Hill Roads Nursing the ORR
entail Market for Middle West
Territory.
Pacific Coast Flour Millers Complain
That the Minnesota Mills
Are Favored.

The middle VESTS market in the orient,
as nursed by the Hill roads, is being dis
cusseh In Chicago, where it is said that
plans of the IIill roads for building up
trade between the interior of the United
States and the orient has caused the mill
ers Of the Pacific coast territory to COM
plain that Minneapolis is placed on prac-
tically the same footing as themselves.
While this is not strictly accurate, say
those in Chicago. the traffic arrangements
Of the Hill roads and steamship companies
are such that the great middle northwest
territory is enabled to enter the oriental
market and compete with the coast coun-
try in the sale Of their products. The
principal export product of the northern
territory tributary to the Hill lines is flour
/ and large quantities of this is being sent
to the orient thru the western gateway.
The disposal of the lake line steamers by
Mr. Hill was taken at the time as an
indication that the Hill plans contem-
plated something other than a transcon-
tinental traffic with the orient. The pol
! icies.. as developed since that time, have
shown that the plan is to make n market
for the products Of the interior of the
United States in Asiatic ports and induce
this traffic to flow thru the Seattle gate.
+ Next to flour exports and possibly Of
equal Importance with that is the trade in
cotton, cotton fabrics and the like. The
southwest country, just outside the i'm
mediate zone Of the Hill lines influence is
prolific producer Of this traffic. ~"

New York, April 23.-The Milwaukee
leads all the western roads in the amount
of grain moved. during the past week.
Strange to relate this road nearly doubled
its traffic in grain as compared with the
previous week, delivering 23 per cent of
the total amount moved as compared with
II per cent for the week before All the
sother roads with the exception of the AL

- A significant feature is the fact that
during the past week nearly all ship
ments both of corn and wheat have
moved to the north thru Minneapolis
rather than by way Of Chicago to the
seaboard. This change of route is ex-
pected every year at about this time but
this year it came very suddenly and in
unexpected volume. Traffic officials who
have studied the situation closely do not
like the appearance of the movement.
They say frankly that it looks bad for
the roads that have been accustomed to
carrying the all-rai1 grain from Chicago
to the seaboard and what is called the lat
an east' grain which moves to New York
and Boston from lake ports, other than

20. They base, their argument or

Chicago. They base their argument on
the fact that this movement Of the grain
which has SO suddenly started may be
taken to mean that the allwater route
via the Canadian canals. and the route
from Duluth via Lake Superior, and Lake
Huron to Parry Sound, and from that
point by Canada Atlantic to Montreal are
likely to draw the traffic.
Tolls Death Did It.
The suddenness Of the. change'"is at
tributed in part to the fact that during
last week the Canadian parliament, ap
parently without the slightest warning,
declared the Canadian canals as free as
the ocean. Hitherto there has been a
toll Of one third of a %cent per bushel OH
grain passing thru these canals, and this
toll has enabled the New York and Bos-
ton routes to just, about hold their own
with the Canadian route by water. The
rate per bushel on grain from Duluth to
Buffalo and thence to New York via Erie
canal is CTS cents. The new rate made
possible by the Canadian waterways is
nearly one cent a bushel less than this.
Unless some method can be devised to
cut down this difference in rates. Mont
real is going to increase its lead still fur

>, Plans are now being prepared for the
executive officials of the Canadian Pacific
for an independent line to run north from
Toronto to join the main transcontinental
line at North Bay on Lake Huron. Up to
the present time the Canadian Pacific for
this distance has had running rights over
the Grand Trunk railway. Now that the
Grand Trunk has definitely decided to

of the Canadian Pacific have decided that
it would be much more advantageous to
the company to have an indepedent Iine.
This will be constructed as soon as the

Provisions for the construction of both
