Live Stock transportation.

An important meeting was held in Chi
cago yesterday between a commission rep
resenting the National Live Stock Associa-
ton and the freight traffic managers of
railway lines centering in Chicago. The
members of the live stock association have
been for some time opposed to the applica-
ton of the tonnage system in the method of
transporting live stock. the opposition be-
ing the ground that the system reduced
the running time of trains and thereby
caused heavy shrinkage in the weight and
value of animals. The livestock association
also asked that the return pass privilege
be restored to bona fide shippers and that
there be a readjustment of freight rates.
The meeting was exceeding harmonious.
During the discussion the traffic managers
conceded that the livestock service during
the past year had not been satisfactory and
that representations made by the stock
men would be Immediately taken UP with
the assurance that there would speedily
be a satisfactory adjustment. All transport
tation lines running west and south were
represented. The livestock association
commission consisted of w. a. Harris of
Kansas; T. c. Powers. of Montana; Murdo
Mackenzie, of Texas; r. M. Allen. of Ne
braska; f. 5. GOsney, of Arizona; /. NJ.

BIG GROWTH In TRAFFIC
RIVER ROUGE ON MICHIGAN GEN.
TRIAL FORGING TO THE FRONT.
Annual Meeting of Northern Central
khOiders--lmpOrtaDt Notice
Issued by Northern Pacific.

The freight business at the River Rouge
yard of the Michigan Central at present
is the heaviest of the season and nearly as
large as il was last year, when there was
much trouble at Detroit over congested
business. The Michigan Central has about
fifteen miles of track at that point and Coo
cars are standing on these tracks all the
time. About co per cent. OF the freight Is
soft coal delivered to it by the Hooking
Valley and other roads. The locomotives
used are the heaviest type, and it requires
five day and three night locomotives TO
handle this freight. The yards are fitted
with telephone and telegraph systems con-
nected with Detroit which enable the bust
ness to be easily handled. When the River
Rouge yards were put in operation two
years ago small amount of freight was
handled. They used but two eight-wheel
type locomotives. but the business has so
increased that the heavy locomotives be-
came imperative and 1t is expected that
thirty or forty miles additional track Will
have to be constructed this year.
