RAILROAD NOTES.

The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company will not grant a right of way to
the Oregon State Portage railway between
Cello and the DalleS. President Mohler
declares that the Oregon Railway & Nav
igatio has none too much land along the
Columbia for the growth of traffic and
that the concessions asked for by. the
state would restrict the expansion of the
trackage facilities of his company Gov.
Chamberlain has announced that the state
will at once proceed to acquire right Of
way by condemnation. President Mohler
says that his company has in view the
double tracking of the line on account of
the heavy traffic and that the State Port
age road will interfere with its plans.
During the fiscal year ended June 80 the
Union Pacific railroads gross earnings
were $51, 078, 1S9, an increase over the pre-
viCus year of 3,574909. Net earnings were
$22,321,973, an increase of $3S6,919. The
increase in gross earnings in June was
$4,501.172 and in net earnings $1,793.123.

The reduced passenger rates from In
diananoIis territory to MINNEAPOLIS and ST.
Paul announced several days ago by lines
in Central Passenger association territory
to conform to the lowered rates between
Chicago and the Twin Cities, went into
effect yesterday. The lower rates affect
the passenger business from the Ohio
river to the extreme Northwest through
the operation of the rule which takes the
rate between these gateways as the basis
for the fares charged from outside terri
tory, when the route of travel extends
through the territory directly affected.
A. C. Bird. traffic director of the entire
Gould system of railroads who has just
completed the first official inspection OF
all the lines, announced yesterday that
before the end of this year the Could
system would have solid trains running
direct into Chicago and Pittsburg, from
New Orleans and Galveston and that soon
thereafter they would be entering Balti-
more.

HOW THE STATE MAY
REGULATE ROADS

The policy of the state in respect to
the operation and management of rail-
roads is disclosed by its statutes; espe-
claliy by sections 379 to 400. Vol. /, Gen
era eral Statutes of Minnesota, under the
heading of Railroad and Warehouse
Commission which closely follows the
provisions of congressional legisla ton re-
speeding interstate commerce, and under
clearly specified regulations places the
supervision, oversight and control of
those matters. particularly the rates of
transportation. in the hands of the des-
1gnated state officials
1t is plain from these statutes, as con-
strued by the supreme court of the state
that 1T is the policy of the state that
the railroads, with their rolling stock
and appliances, shall be kept in high
state of safety and efficiency: and that
rates OF transportation, while kept ample
to secure such results, shall always be
fair. reasonable stable and uniform.
Schedules of rates are to be kept pub
ilely posted at every station and no
change or deviation from such published
rate is permitted nor any rebates al
lowed Or advantage to one shipper over
another and no such change in such rates
is permitted until after ten days pre-
Vlous published notice has been given.
Under. this system shippers can count
accurately the cost of transportation as
an expense in their business, with the
assurance that others engaged in like
business must incur exactly the like ex-
pense; and untrammeled competition be-

PASSENGER TRAVEL is HEAVY.
st. Paul Lines All Show Large In
crease in Business.


The passenger travel this spring and
summer has been the largest in the
history of the railroads entering st.
Paul. Not only has 1.-The usual equip
ment been crowded every night, but
additional coaches have been called
into service continually.
So far as the Chicago lines are con-
cerned however, the receipts in pas
senger earnings will probably not show
as large an increase as they did last
year, although the increase in the act
ual number of passengers carried is
considerably greater.
The reason for this is the cutting OF
rates between the Twin Cities and
Chicago that has been SO pronounced
this year. There were many low eX-
cursion rates made on account OF the
various conventions, and the regular
tariff rate was reduced from $11.5O to
IS for one way, apparently with no
hope of res toration to the old figure.
The lines are more than holding
their own, however, in the matter of
earnings, and with the greatly increas-
ed travel will be able to show some in
crease in passenger receipts, even If 1t
is not as great as last year.
The rate situation to Missouri river
points and to the West has been re-
markably firm. The travel has been
greater probably than in any previous
wear, extra coaches being added to the
trains to the Northwest and Pacific
coast almost every night. The pas
senger earnings of these roads will. of
course. show a great increase. The
coast lines have not suffered from the
cut in east-bound rates.
The value of local business as a pas
senger revenue producer is being bet

ROCK ISLAND MAY
GAIN CONTROL OF
SANTA F[ SYSTEM
st. Paul Railroad Officials Say
That Two Great Western Sys-
tens VIII Be Merged.--Rock
Island to Issue Boods.

1t was rumored among st. Paul
railroad men yesterday that the Rock
lSland-F'risco system will soon absorb
the Santa Fe and that the three great
roads will soon be operated as one gil
gantic system.
For this purpose, it is said, the Rock
Island wants to issue $250,000,000
| mortgage bonds, and that the question
will be voted upon at the next meet
ing of the stockholders of that road
By securing the Santa Fe, and unit
ing it with the Rock Island Frisco
system, one of the greatest railroad
systems in the world will be created.
1t will give the Rock Island mileage
in excess of 21,000, which is greater
than the mileage of the roads con-
trolled by the,Northern Securities COM
pany. - &fs
But the proposed Rock Island mer-
ger will be more than a holding COM
pany, according to the reports received
in ST. Paul. 1t is the object of the pro-.
motors of the combine to consolidate
the lines under the management of one
executive board and to operate them
as one system. E.s
For years it has been the policy of
the Rock Island to buy up competitors.
Its purchase of the Frisco system was
in accordance with this policy, and to
railroad men the purchase of the Santa
Fe looks plausible. If the Rock Island
does secure the Santa F'e, besides unit
ing several competing and parallel
lines, it will also open up vast
amount of new territory. In the first
place it will give the Rock Island an
outlet to the Pacific via it's own line,
for the Santa Fe runs directly to the
coast. The Rock Island only has its
own tracks to Ell Paso, and from there
runs to San Francisco by way of the
Southern Pacific.
The acquisition of the Santa Fee will
also give the Rock Island a gulf port,
as the former line controls valuable
terminals at Galveston and Houston.
This will make a direct line from st.
Paul to the gulf, covering a territory,
the richness of which is. inestimable
1t is only a little over a month since
the Rock Island acquired control Of
the Frisco system. Before that line
was formerly transferred but little
credence was placed in the reports
that 1T was to be purchased by the
Rock Island. However, since 1T was
announced two days ago that the Rock
Island was contemplating the issuance
of $3.50, 600, 900 Of bonds, there has been
a general opinion among railroad and
financial men that the Rock Island
now seeks control of the Santa Fe.
The Rock Island system proper COM
prises I'LL miles, the Frisco 1894, and
the Santa Fe $3.50, or total of 21,19S
miles of track. The aggregate mileage
of the Burlington, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific is 1878, nearly 1900
miles less than the trackage of the
proposed consolidated company, con-
sisting of the Santa Fe and Rock ISL
and-FriScO systems.

Bonds Are Issued for the Erection of tie
New Road.

READING. Pa, Aug. From a docu-
ment filed in court today, it is understood
that the Wabash will be extended from
Baltimore to Reading and hence to New
York.
This afternoon the Reading. Lancaster
& Southern placed a mortgage of $1,000
600 on record. There are 1900 bonds OF
par value of $1,000 each. bearing per
cent interest for forty years, to be paid
in gold at maturity
Isaac Spatz, of MohnSville is president
and Sydney G. Long, of Baltimore, is sec
rotary
The officers of the company are in Lam
caster, Baltimore and New York. The
mortgage is given to the Mercantile Trust
Company of New York trustee for the
bondholders.
The document says that the company
is to build and operate a railroad from
Reading to Baltimore President Spatz in
speaking of the new line, said
1T may take little time until build
ing operations are commenced, but
expect to start this fall. From Reading
to the vicinity of Terre Hill it will prac-
tically occupy the route Of the old Read
ing, Lancaster & Baltimore From Terre
Hill a new route will BE- used. The road
will save fifty miles from the coal re-
gions to Baltimore"
When asked if it had any connection
with any other big company. Mr.. Spatz
said You may say that at Reading and in
Baltimore the new line will have i'm
portaIt connections
