Freight Men Contemplate the
Establishment of an Inter-
national Association-Club
Will Include Canadian and
Mexican Officials-Conven-
tion to Organize Will Be
Held in June.

An international association of trav-
cling freight agents is soon to be or
ganized. The movement, which start
ed in the East, has received such
hearty support from the Western and
Southern agents that the permanent
organization will be effected within
sixty days, at a convention to be held
in Cincinnati June and 6.
The object of the association is to
bring the agents of the various lines
together once a year for the discus
sion of matters pertaining to their
work and promotion of closer rela-
tions among the men.
At the Cincinnati convention there
will be a delegation of travelling freight
agents from st. Paul to support the
movement Delegations from Chicago,
New York, Cleveland and several other
important cities will also take part in
the general movement.
The organization, according to the
plans outlined by local agents who are
interested in the movement, will be
formed on a basis similar to that of the
National Association of Travelling Pas
senger Agents. which is now one of
the foremost railroad associations in
the United States. 1t is proposed to
organize principally for the promotion
of social intercourse and the closer af
filiation of freight representatives on
Mexico and Canada. Such matters as
will be found of interest or Importance
TO the travelling freight agents will be
discussed at the meetings.
1t is also intended to eventually es-
tablish a beneficiary department in
connection with the organization. but
for the present this feature of the
plans will not be discussed further
than mere suggestions. The travel
ing freight agents are about the only
class of railroad men not regularly or
ganized.
AT present there are a number of
local organizations in the larger cities
throughout the United States. 1t is in
tended to invite these associations to
enter the movement for a national
body, and in towns where local
associations are not maintained the
agents will be asked individually to
concur in the work of forming a ma
tionaI organization.
There are in the United States sew
eral thousand men who would be eli
gible to membership in the proposed
organization.

CLARK TELLS OF SETTLEMENT.
Senator Gives Details of Agreement
With Union Pacific.

NEW YORK, April is. - United
States Senator w. A. Clark, of Mon
tana, tonight gave the first detailed
statement regarding the settlement Of
differences between the Union Pacific
interests and the newly organized San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake, and
the plans of the latter company.
A year ago those two companies had
rival construction gangs at Mountain
Valley, Wash, each eager to forestall
the other and ready to resort to physi-
cal violence to accomplish the end de-
sired.
Now Senator Clark and his adher-
ents have leased the Oregan Short line
south of Salt Lake City and will con-
struct about 400 miles of road from
Canentes, New, westerly through Ca
jon Pass to San Bernardino, where con-
nectonS will be made with about eigh-
ty-hve miles of track already in opera
ton between San Pedro, Los Angeles
and Riverside.
There has been a great deal printed
about the plans of the new road, but
no complete statement" said Senator
Clark
THE San Pedro Los Angeles & Salt
Lake is authorized to issue $5O,OOO,OO0
bonds and has $25,000, 5000 capftaf
stock. 1t has leased for ninety-nine
years the Oregon Short line system,
south from Salt Lake City to Calientes
a railroad system of 223 miles, Be
sides the main line there are two short
er lines taken over Most important is
the Leamington cutoff extending from
salt Lake City to bennington, Utah.
Where 1t joins the Oregon Short line.
The Oregon Short line system. un-
DER our control, will be rebuilt with
heavier rails and the best equipment.
The distance from Salt Lake CITY to
Los Angeles is 500 miles by this new
route. and we intend to cover it in
twenty-four hours. Now traffic from
Salt Lake City and north thereof
reaches Los Angeles via San Francis
co. not less than 1900 miles.
Our terminal facilities at Salt Lake
CITY will be equal to the Oregon Short
Lines and we will connect with the
Union Pacific and Gould systems. The
mineral wealth that our road will de-
Velop equals that of the Mesaba range.
NO bonds have been issued on the Los

Trust Boats Carry Ore

Trust boats are carrying all the ore
that is moving from Superior ports, as
the independent fleet is not yet ready
to move. Aside from the strike of the
union, shippers say that the independ-
ent boats could not be employed at
present because the mines in the upper
lake regions are not in shape to supply
the ore that would be required were all
the boats moving. However, by the
first of next week 1t is expected that
the mines will be ready for any amount
of shipping. Meanwhile the independ-
ent fleets are not fitting out and many
of them will not begin to move until
later in April, or, perhaps, not before
the second week in Nav.

BLAME ROAD FOR FIRE LOSS.
Lumber Company Says 500 Line Failed
TO Furnish Cars

MARINETTE, Wis, April 1S.-The
case of Cook Bros. against the 500
road for $4,000 damages will come up
in circuit court next month The
plaintiffs allege negligence on the part
Of the defendant company to provide
cars for the shipment of cedar from
Van Horn, this county, to the markets.
Four years ago Cook Bros. brought
suit against the railroad for $65,000
damages on the ground that sparks
from a locomotive set fire to the cedar
in the yards at Van Horn and caused
the destruction of the entire stock. A
jury gave a verdict Of $33, 900, but
Judge Hastings awarded the plaintiffs
$4,000. The supreme court reversed
the decision.
Now a new case has been started
against the railroad company, the
Cooks claiming that had the railroad
provided sufficient cars the cedar would
have been shipped out of the yards at
Van Horn before the fire and conse-,
quently they would not have suffered
such a large loss.

1t is evident that the officials of the
Washburn- Crosby company, of Min
neapolis, do no expect the present con-
ditions with the local mills to be per-
manent. The company yesterday filed
new articles Of incorporation with the
secretary of state at the capital, in
creasing the capital stock from 81, ,200,-
600 to $1,800,000. This is an increase
of 100000, an addition of so per cent to
the old figure.
Just what this means at this time
could not be learned last night, as the
officers of the company declined to dis
cuss. The new articles were matter
of record, and no attempt was made
to keep this from the public. But what
manner Of improvements, if any, are
in contemplation, they would not dis
cuss.
Old Officers Stay.
1t is by no means a change in man
agement, nor is there anything to in
dicate that when business is resumed
it will be along other than the present
lines All the old officers retain their
positions.
This company operates the Wash
burn A, B, c.. D and E mills in Mime
apolis, the A mill being one of the
largest mills in the world. The daily
capacity of these mills is $1,000 bar
rels of flour.
1t is interesting to note that the
company has decided to take for
ward step upon the nearing Of the
twenty fifth anniversary Of the great
Washburn A mill fire, and in which
eighteen men lost their lives. 1t was
in May, 1878, that the big mill ex-
ploded, and the loss Of life was the
greatest that has occurred in Mime
apolis
1t was this fire that marked great
improvements in the manufacture of
flour. The industry was carefully
studied by experts, and this resulted in
improved methods which overcame all
dangers of explosion.
Means Improvement.
That the addition of 100000 capital
to the stock of this pioneer concern,
means some important Improvement in
operations, is a foregone conclusion.
Developments in the matter will be
awaited with interest, not only in the
milling world, but by Minneapolis peo-
pie, to whom the flour milling industry
is of such great Importance.
