METHoDIsTs WILL ASK
BISHOPS TO CONFER HERE

The Methodists of Rock Island and
Moline have decided to unite in ex-
tending an invitation to the official
board composed of bishops of the
church, to hold their next semi-an-
nual session in one of the two cities.
The invitation will be signed by the
pastors Of the churches of the two
cities and presented before the board
at it's session next week in the east
for its consideration. As there will
probably be number of invitations
from various parts of the country it
is not certain by any means that the
body will vote to come here next fall,
but the invitation may be the means
of securing the meeting perhaps next
spring.
The official board is composed of
something less than twenty bishops
from all parts of the world covered
by the church. They are in session
about a week at each of their semi
annual meetings and devote the time
to arranging the church work for
the period following. While they
transact their business in executive
session, they usually hold public serv-
ices, and during the Sunday they
spend in a city they fill the pulpits of
churches. As the members are all
well known and able men, this would
prove quite a treat.

If all the preachers of Rock Island
and Moline were made into one man
with a voice in proportion to his size,
hi5 voice would barely fill the building
which could comfortably seat all of
the residents of Rock Island and Mo-
line, and if Davenport should desire
to come she could be accommodated
ON the other floor.
THE roundhouse win be 400 feet in
diameter and will accommodate 45 of
the big engines used ON the road.
Even the storehouse will measure 375
feet in length. The blacksmith shop
will be large enough for all the black
smiths in the three cities to work in,
and to hold the spreading chestnut
tree besides. The power house, la
boratories, planning mills, are all to
be of generous proportions, CORE
spending the other buildings.
''Afreight carerecting shop will be 100
by 500 feet in size. All of the build
ings are so planned that they can
each or all be extended without mar
ring the continuity of the plant. In
these immense shops $500 mechanics
will daily ply their vocations. They
will bring with them their families,

"Since the work first began 500
acres of land have passed from under

of the land was something like 49,

twice that number of barns and
sheds have been wrecked to clear the
land. The work also requires the re-
moval of over 100000 cubic yards of
earth. Ninety or 100 miles o. tracks

CHICAGO. Nov. 81. = It was an
nounced today that the Northern Pa
cific and the Burlington have entered
into an agreement with the Chicago
& Grand Trunk whereby transconti-
mental freight may be routed direct
from the Atlantic coast to the Tacoma
wharves and thence to Oriental points.
via the new Canadian Australian and
the Puget sound steamship lines. The
first sailing will be made on Dec~20.
This announcement is looked upon
as being Of the utmost Importance to
railroads. The Grand Trunk owns a
direct line from the Atlantic, and with
in few months will have double
track, low-grade railroad from tidewa-
ter to Chicago. From this point the
freight will be taken by the Burling-
ton, transferred to the Northern Pa
cific either at st. Paul or at Billings
and carried thence to Tacoma.
The Grand Trunk is practically In
dependent of the Trunk Line associa-
ton and no rates or terms can be die
tated. By securing this connection the
Grand Trunk is still more Independent
of the Trunk Line association.

OPERATESNEWTR
Great Northern's Fast Winni-
peg Service Inaugurated.

For the first time since 1885 Cana
dian Northern train was run into st.
Paul yesterday, when the first train of
the new Twin Winnipeg service
entered the union depot.
The train was run from st. Vincent
via the Great Northern, which line has
made traffic agreement with the
Canadian Northern. 1t left Winnipeg
at $40 o'clock Sunday evening, and
arrived in st. Paul at 7:45 o'clock yes
terday morning, making the trip in
fourteen hours and twenty-five min
utes.
The equipment of the new train be-
longs to the Canadian Northern. 1t Is
all new and thoroughly modern. The
train carries first-class sleepers, buff
fet car and a diner. The dining serv-
ice is all that can be desired, meals
being served la carte.
The route via ST. Vincent and Elmer
son was without through train service
to ST. Paul and Winnipeg until the
present service was inaugurated. At
every station along the line Sunday
night there were delegations of citizens
waiting to see the train. The first
south bound train brought down a
party Of Winnipeg business men as
guests Of the Canadian Northern.
Among the party were Premier r. P.
Robin, of Manitoba, General Superin-
tendent James and Traffic Manager
Shaw, of the Canadian Northern. A
dinner was served aboard the train in
honor Of the party.
BY the joint agreement between the
Great Northern and Canadian North
ern a time schedule of fourteen hours
is established, which is about three
hours faster than the former time. The
train which leaves Winnipeg at $40
arrives in st. Paul before the trains
which leave the Canadian city at 1:45

RATE WAR is LIKELY
Great Northern's Grain Rates
May Lead to Serious Trouble.

| It is not unlikely that the harmoni-
| Gus condition of affairs which has ex-
| listed among the railroads of the West
| for some tine past may be disturbed
as the result Of the action Of certain
roads in threatening a reduction Of
freight rates, and in some instances
carrying out their threats.
When the Chicago Great Western
announced its proportional rates on
grain through Omaha to Chicago, Min
I neapolis and ST. Paul, concerted eff
fort was made to induce President
| Stickney to alter his determination,
and, failing in this, the officials of the
competing lines have announced a
greater cut on through rates from
points in Nebraska. The new rate,
which will become effective at once,
will be lower than the much-talked-of
proportional rates made by the Great
Western railroad, and the cut will ap-
| ply to points where the present rate is
as low as and 10 cents on corn and
wheat
At the present time the Great West
erns proportional through rates apply
to shipments from points where rates
are more than 10 and II cents re-
spective1y on corn and wheat.
It is admitted that the Great West
ern has been handling the greater por-
| ton Of this class of freight traffic ever
since the proportional rate was placed
| in effect The Great Western has not
announced what action it intends taxi
| ing on this latest of cuts, but it IS con-
sidered probable that President Stick
ney will meet it and perhaps go little
lower.
In addition to the situation on grain
rates, the Rock Island is UP in arms
against the proposed 81 ton coal
rate of the Burlington from the Illinois
coal fields to st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis.
AS soon as the intention Of the Bur-
lington was made known notice was
served on it by the Rick Island Off
Gals to the effect that If the cheap coal
rate became effective there would be a
general reduction made in commodity
rates in the territory traversed by the
Burlington and Rock Island railroads.
This would mean a general freight rate
war, and neither of the roads is court
