ANOTHER BLAoKMA1L SCHEME
Anonymous Writer Demands Money
from Great Northern.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 26.-According to
we'll authenticated reports, the North
err Pacific Railway company IS not
alone in its troubles with the dynamit-
ers, though it has so far been, the only
sufferer For several days there have
been number of GreatN orthern secret
service men in Helena and vicinity and
it has developed that their mission is
to try to locate the person who has sent
the company a letter Ievying blackmail
The letter was mailed at Cascade and it
demanded the payment of $4,000 the
railroad company was commanded to
fly a signal if it acceded to the demand,
and was given until Tuesday evening,
October 20, to comply If it did not
comply then the amount of the black
mail would be raised to $4,000, and to
show that business was meant dyna-
mite would be used on the rails. In
stead of displaying the signal. the rail-
road company has sent it's detectives TO
Montana to try to ferret out the writer
of the letter.

STRIKE MANIA REACTION.
Railroad Review Says Wage Limit
Has Been Reached.

The strike mania which has been SO
nauch in evidence during the past two
or three years now promises to feel the
effect of a reaction, and conservative
leaders are advising against such
proceeding in cases where year ago it
would have been approved SAYS the
Railway Review. The latest move is by
some of the eastern locomotive engi-
neers who desire to be put on a CORE
spending basis of wages as those of the
extreme southwest where the duties are
much more severe and the cost of liv-
ing greater. Their officers, however
are calling a halt; they realize that the
time has come when, if an advance in
wages is insisted upon, the railways
will simply reduce their force. The
signs of the times are too apparent to
be overlooked. 1t is understood that on
some eastern roads orders have already
gone out for the discharge of quite a
large number of men, simply with the
object of curtaiIing expenses which is
found necessary under present condi-
tons If all labor leaders shall be
equally wise and forestall any attempt
to further press advance in wages it
may be possible that a stagnation of in
dustrial operations, which seems to
PROMISE will be avoided. Certain it is
that any further agitation in this line
must inevitably result in harm to the
workingmen. It is only because of an
unexampled era of prosperity that the
demands thus far made could be met.

HURTS KANSAS CITY.
Omaha Is Now Getting Standing as q
Grain Market.

President Stickney of the Great West
ern railroad is noted for his disregard
of traditions. and when he announced
short time ago that he intended
making Omaha a grain market the ex-
ecutives of the western roads regarded
his statement as merely another move
on his part to bring his road into prom
inence.. In putting in proportional
rate on grain through Omaha for points
east. the announcement of which was
made a few days ago, President Stick
ney astOniShed the railroad world and
is credited with engineering an inn
portant move in freight traffic.
The proportional rate of 8 cents to
the Mississippi river and IA cents to
Chicago and Minneapolis from Omaha
places the latter point on a parity with
Kansas City, and reasonably enough
the business men of Omaha are exuIt-
ing over the action taken by the Great
Western road in it's effort to make
Omaha a grain markeAx The citizens
| there are preparing to organize a board
of trade. and in this action Kansas
City sees falling off in its grain bust
nesS-
Executive officials of the lines enter
ing Omaha held a meeting and the
move of the Great Western was dis
cussed at some length. For the present
no action will be taken by the cempet-
ing roads. but it was the sense of the
meeting that the Great Westerns
action must be met if the railroads en-
tering Omaha expected to hold their
own in the matter of handling grain.
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
Burlington, Northwestern and St Paul
roads eventually will have to meet the
Great Western rate or see their grain
traffic diverted to the road controlled
by Sticknev.
| At present the Northwestern, Bur-
lington and ST. Paul roads take out of
Omaha all the grain that they bring to
that city, and the proportional rate
made by the Great Western naturally
will cut them out of the long haul
traftlc which they now enjoy. The lines
which do not extend west of the Mis-
souri, river are watching President
