views of President Mellen.

Charles s. Mellen, who has just turned
the presidency of the Northern Pacific Rail-
road over to Howard Elliott, is taking
brief rest in New York prior to assuming
the presidency of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad, to which posi-
ton he expects to be elected next Saturday.
His attention being called to published
statements that he was on record as being
opposed to the New Haven & Hartford's
policy of electric railway expansion, Mr.
Mellen said: Whatever 1 may have said
eight or ten years ago can have no possible
significance now. Railroad conditions have
changed radically within the last ten years,
and it has been necessary for railroad man.
gers to change their views No successful
railroad man has stood still. l expect to
take up things as / find them on the New
York New Haven & Hartford Railroad and
deal with each question as the exigencies
demand. 1 do not say that / will have no
policy do not intend to go there and wab-
BILE, but my policy will be developed accord
ing to the conditions as / find them"
Speaking of the Northern Pacific Mr.
Mellen said II believe that the Northern
Pacific is in as good physical condition as
any railroad in the country. 1t is a fine
road, and Howard Elliott, the new pres
ident, is fine man. The Alaska boundary
decision will be of decided benefit to the
American railroads Had the award of the
commission been the other way all of the
traffic to and from the territory in dispute
would have been taken away from the
American lines and turned over to the Ca
madam Pacific. There is great future for
the Northwestern country"

The double tracking of the line of the
Grand Trunk has been going on steadily
for two years or more, and the work on the
last link of double track between Hamilton
and Sarnia is now under way and will
be completed early In 1904. and that it will
be a powerful competitor of the American
railways is already assured. Under its
present condition 1t has wrested from the
Lake Shore the honor and profit Of being
the leading carrier Of packing-house prod
ucts for ex iorts. The company claims to
have the lowest grades between Chicago
and tidewater. With the possible excep-
ton of the Lake Shore and New York Cen
trail is is easily the shortest route between
the points named and the best equipped
railroad In every way to carry shipments of
Chicago products and manufacturers billed
TO European ports during the season OF
open navigation On the Buffalo division
the link yet TO be double tracked is 1874 miles
and this branch has been rebuilt quite as
completely as any road in America. The
one object has been the elimination of
grades and curves, with the purpose of
making the line a low-grade freight and
passenger route. Outside of the main line
the Buffalo branch has received more at
tention and more money than all the other
branches combined, the double tracking of
this IS nearing completion and before the
close of the present year the company will
operate double tracks between Buffalo and
Hamilton. The competition of the Grand
Trunk as freight line has long been talked
about in trunk-line circles and has within
the past year become a realty. The Grand
Trunk has in the past six months carried
to the seashore more than five times as
many tons of grain as any one OF the
American trunk lines

THE CRITICISMS UNFAIR
PER DIEM RULES HELP SHIPPERS,
CONSIGNEES AND ROADS.
Aggressfveness of Grand Trunk Caus-
ing Anxiety-Passenger Revenue
Must Show Better Results.

Samuel B. Sweet. general freight agent of
the Lake Erie & Western. expresses the
opinion that the criticism in the Journal
yesterday of the operation of the per diem
bureau was unfair. 1t seems TO place the
blame for the delay in the movement of
cars upon the railroads when directly OPP
posite was the case. A car is worth 10 any
of the leading roads at the present time $40
day and the per diem charge Of 81 after
a certain time where there was delay in
unloading or loading cars is but small
item to the road: the latter would much
prefer to have its cars in constant daily
service and were the per diem rules more
strictly enforced with some of the larger
roads less complaint would be heard of
the car shortage. Before the days of the
per diem rules cars would be set side
tracks for factories and with the utmost
urging it impossible to get them into
service again for some days. and in some
cases some weeks. There was no way to
force a consignee to unload such cars or a
shipper to load car. Now there is more
promptness than was ever known in the
car movement, but this could be greatly
improved If consignees and shippers would
take more interest in the matter. In speak
ing of Indianapolis proper. he said that
under the car service rules and the earnest
efforts of the superintendent and the man
ager Of the Car Service Association there
never was a time when cars were unloaded
and reloaded with such promptness as at
present, and he thought the business men
of the city, especially merchants. appre-
ciated the more prompt movement.
In speaking of the outlook for freight
business for months to come, he said 1t
npaiC fnr
diana. The corn crop, contrary to expecta-
tions has had sufficient time TO ripen, and
a few good frosts would now complete the
work. Not in the last five years, he said,
had there been better crop In this State
| than this year. Farmers are prosperous
and manufacturers are doing about as
much business as at any time in years, and
he could see no reason for anxiety regard
ing the future of business.

Cuton. to he Built by the Santa Fee.

Following the announcement that the
Santa Fe will shorten transcontinental time
a whole day by building a 250-mile cutoff,
comes the statement that more cutoffs on
the system in Southwestern territory are
being planned. Surveys have been COM
peted for an extension of the Santa Fe at
Prescott and Phoenix which, If built will
form a part of the low grade of the trans
continental line. The Phoenix & Eastern,
which will connect with the Santa Fe at
Deming, is being pushed forward and the
Crowd creek extension has been completed
for distance of sixteen miles. 1t extends
from Mayor, A. T., into the Crown King
