SEEKING a NEW WAY.

The merger decision upset the plans
OF the big railroad systems temporarily
but it is evident that they have not
given up. They viii try to accomplish
their original designs by some other
method. Henry Clews. who by the ma
ture of his relations to Wall street. has
an insight on such matters says in his
Financial Review:
Now that competing roads cannot be
put under control of holding company
other means are being sought for rail-
road development, for restraint of cut
throat competition, and for stability in
rates and earnings. The enormous
growth of our railroad systems has
created forces which tax the ingenuity
of our ablest financiers and lawyers to
withstand: and preservation is sim
ply driving the great leaders into some
sort of cooperation, which they nat
urally desire to make as permanent as
possible. Just where the line shall be
drawn between too much concentration
and too much competition is the problem
now before the railroad magnates of the
west. and it is impOSSi Bile for either in
siders or outsiders to anticipate the final
outcome. Suffice it to saw that moves
Of great Importance are now being made

outcome of which is likely to he bepe-
fetal to all concerned. Incident to these
final objects there may be temporary
differences of opinion, as we'll as strong

interests seem agreed that something
must be done to conserve the interests
of both owners and users of railroads.

TIE NET RESULT.

LFrom the Minneapolis Tribune.l
Let US contemplate the net result of
the merger suit. It was brought to pre-
vent consolidation of two transconti-
mental railroads. The government won
its case. The decree of its courts has
been obeyed to the letter. The result is
the bringing together, under q firm and
lasting community of interest arrange
ments, of four transcontinental lines.
Before the merger, Great Northern in
terests had a bare majority of North
ern Pacific stock. They have now
two-thirds majority The Union Pacific
had dominating, though not quite a
controlling, interest in Southern Pacific.
Now it has third interest in Northern
Pacific and a fifth interest in Great
Northern.
These two control the Burlington, in
which the Union Pacific obtains a sim
liar interest. Previously the Union Pa
cific owned the Oregon Short Line and
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Line
These four great transcontinental sys-
TENS are now bound together with the
very extensive Burlington system in a
community Of interest as firm as any of

M'CABE STOPS IT.
Won't Have so Pound Rails on
Washburn Line.

City Engineer James F. McCabe
stopped the work on the Washburn
college street car line this morning,
because the company was putting
down 80 pound rails instead of IS
pound rails as the ordinance requires
Mr.. McCabe received complaint
from one of the citizens who lives on
that line, and notified Mayor Bergund-
thai.
stop the work." said the mayor.
even If you have to have those people
arrested This is an ordinance of the
city which they are violating, and they
must understand that the law must be
obeyed.
The street car officials will claim, it
is said, that they want the right to
put down the so pound rails Temporal
lily, and will replace them with the Go
pound rails when they can get them.
They will probably go before the city
council this evening and try to get
permission to lay the lighter rails.
The council has no right to change
the provisions of the franchise Ordin-
ance, and should not do it if it could.
The provision for IS pound rails on up-
paved streets was put in after careful
consideration, and the company should
be required to come up to the mark.
The Washburn college line is the
most profitable line which the street
car company has, and there is no rea-
son why it should be compelled to put
up with inferior, secondhand rails.
The company is putting in new ties,
and new poles on this line, but is put
ting back the old rails.
It seems probable that the baseball
park will be located near the Wash
burn car line, and it would seem to be
nothing but good business for the com
pany to lay a track which will stand
up under heavy traffic and heavy cars.
