CHICAGO GRAIN
MARKET PASSING.
Traders Aroused Over the Evident
Decadence Of Windy City
Prestige.
Board Of Trade Petitions for Re
adjustment of Trans .Misso-
ri Rates.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-The great in
roads into the Chicago grain business
that are being made by the twin cities
and Montreal, and by the enormous
growth of the grain traffic to gull
ports, have become SO serious as to
threaten Chicago's long-enjoyed pres
tige as a grain market.
Grain men here are thoroly
aroused The Record-Iierald voices
their sentiment in half-column edi-
torial this morning deploring the ex-
listing conditions. The editorial in
part states:
1.-THE Chicago Board Of Trade con-
tends that THIS city has for several
years been steadily losing prestige as
a grain market owing to discriminat-
ing freight rates which favor other
ports. The condition, It is claimed,
has grown so bad that the board is Pc
titioning the railroad arrangements to
readjust all grain rates from the
trans Missouri territory thru the va
rious gateways to the gulf and to the
south and north Atlantic ports.
1.-THE immense grain tonnage in the
great wheat belts west of the Missouri
river seeks several outlets for export.
Some of it goes by the way Of the twin
cities and the Canadian lines to Mon
treal, or the north Atlantic ports, go
ing all rail or part rail, part water;
some Of it passes thru the Chicago
gateway, going either all rail or part
rail, part water, to the north Atlantic
ports and Montreal, or all rail to the
same ports and to the south Atlantic
ports.
"some Of it seeks the st. Louis and
Peoria gateways while the remainder
is exported thru the gulf ports by the
| way Of the south Missouri river gate
| way. Each Of the many gateways is
continually striving for an adjust
| ment of rates which will increase it's
grain traffic. Chicago alone of all
| gateways has hitherto made no inte1li-
gent and concerted effort in this dfrec-
| ton.
with respect to the rapid deca-
dence Of the Atlantic ports st. Louis
has suffered with Chicago, altho the
former city has a present advantage
! in the adjustment of rates. The loss
which Chicago has suffered is shown
by the fact that during eight months
ending August, 1908, the gulf ports Of
New Orleans and Galveston increased
4 their total grain receipts by over 124
per cent, while the increase for the
ports of Boston, Philadelphia, New
90 per cent

Plans for q new loop arrangement
Of tile Minneapolis street railway have
been under consideration for some
time and in fairly definite
shape. While no formal decision has
been reached, the street railway Off
Gals have hit upon the plan shown in
the accompanying map, AS apparently
fhe most practicable, both as regards
new construction and convenience OF
operation. This plan calls for the
construction of but twelve blocks OF
new track, and the arrangement Is
such that the interurban passenger
can alight within a block or nearer Of
any important point in the business
district. All Washington avenue lines
now using the present loop would be
diverted to an entirely new loop, thus
relieving the serious congestion on
Hennepin avenue. The new arrange
anent also straightens out the route Of
the Fourth and Sixth avenue cars,
which now run down Fourth avenue
to Third street and double back to

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 29.-Captain
Cousins of the steamer Queen gives
the following account of the disaster:
When we were thirty miles to the west
ward of Tillamook light, on the coast Of
Oregon, on our way to this port, Second
Officer Reese reported to me that the ship
was on fire.. I fastened from my state
room and rang the fire alarm. Getting all
hands on deck, we started to fight the fire,
which was in the after saloon. When I
came on deck the flames We're shooting
thirty feet high out of the saloon skylight.
We commenced playing water on the fire,
but it continued to gather Roadway until
the whole after part Of the ship was in
flames. When 1t looked impossible to
keep the fire under control / gave 3orders
to clear away the boats, filling those on
the starboard side with women and chill
dren. At this time 1t looked impossible
to save the ship.
Finally the starboard boats were low
cred into the water. One of them, in
charge of Second Steward Savage, got
under the guard and was stove in and
| later upset, the other boats going to the
rescue. -----------~----
do not know just how many people
| there were In the various boats lowered.
| tho possibly sixty. The boats we're out
| in the open until $3.50 o'clock, when, be-
| lieving we had the fire under control, I
signaled them to gather around the ship.
and soon all save those lost were on board
again q = 80. .*l -
| The men in the gloryhole came up thru
| flames and binding smoke. Three OF
| these lost their way and rushed into the
cockpit, where they were suffocated OF
| burned to death.
| At the time the fire was discovered the
| wind was blowing from the southwest
probably fifteen miles an hour. There was
a nasty, choppy sea running. Ts
| I have no idea as to the cause or origin
Of the fire. It appears tosa have Eburst
forth: very suddenly. and but FOR; tI1e

There seems little reason Co doubt but that Ex-Gov, Congdou will be sue cessful in the parliamentary contest that is now in full swing in the Yukon, and there has not been offered up to the present time any good reason why the people should not be satisfied with the prospect. The liberal party is in full possession Of the government Of Canada and it has the entire confidence of the Canadian people. The govern ment of the Yukon will continue in the hands of the Laurier administration no matter what the result of the election. Mir. COngdOn would, there fore, be in position to do more for his district than Dr. Thompson could possibly do. So far as the people of this end of his district can discover he has been an earnest labOUer in the efforts Co develop the country Since the beginning of his administration the Treadwell and other concessions of which the people complained so bitterly have been anuulled in all eases where the government could take that action So many Of the things which the people complained ot have been remedied in the last two years tha, many of thc issues Of the last campaign have nos been heard ut in this.
 It will uOc be cOncended, probably, by anyone that the admis,ra,iou of the Yu- kon is perfect. There is DO doub, much room for improvement. IJ would be strange were it otherwise The queS- ton for the people in this election is how Co use the ballot So they can make the greatest headway toward better government. The constant improve ment Ot the last two years and the fact tha, the liberal government will be in power anyhow seem Co leave but one answer Co this problem and that is, by voting for Mr, toa-dou.
