1t is reported from Winnipeg that the
Canadian Northern railway and the Ca

at Port Arthur. Heretofore the eastern
business originating on the Brandon and

some one who objected to her visit and
who killed Burdick out of jealousy.
It was not the actSof burglars, for Bur-

DISCUSSED GRAIN RATES
Case of Minneapolis VS.. Country Mlllers
Is Taken Up.

r. @ .
The general freight agents of the prin-
cipal lines which carry grain to Mime
aDolis, including the Great Northern the
Northern Pacific, the Omaha the Milwau-
kee and the Minneapolis & st. Louis, held
snort conference yesterday in the office
OF F. B. Clarke, freight traffic manager
OF the Great Northern, to discuss an ad-
justment Of grain rates in and out of Min
nespolis. Minneapolis millers have com
planned that the present tariff places them
at d1sadva ntage compared with the mill
ers In the smaller towns west of Mime
apolls. who work under the provisions Of
the grain tariffs which allow grain to be
milled in transit
Minneapolis being the terminal of most
OF the grain shipping lines, the millers
mere have to pay the full local rates on
grain they buy and they have to pay the
full rates when the flour is shipped out.
The country millers, on the other hand,
buy their wheat under the rule which per-
mits them to grind the grain and to ship
the flour on the same rates. No con-
clusion was reached.
