r. /. ON SAME LEVEL
Closes Deal With Hartman Zines Like
That of. the Milwaukee.

The new traffic agreement between the
Rock Island and the Hartman roads is
understood to include the placing OF the
Rock Island on a parity with the North
Western and the Milwaukee roads as to
all traffic by way of the Ogden gateway.
The Southern Pacific will give a much
larger share of its east-bound traffic to
the Rock Island and will recognize the
right Of the Choctaw line to a share OF
the immigrant business. This agreement
probably ends the Irritation between the
Rock Island and the Santa accompanies,
although the Rock Island refuses to- bind
itself to give its Pacific coast traffic ex-
cusively to the Southern Pacific. 1t only
agrees not to give any other company
more than it does the Southern Pacific
