RAILROADS.
AGAIN USES KNIFE
ON GRAIN RATES
NORTHWESTERN LATEST CUT
INCLUDES NEW PRIVILEGES.
Great Western to Meet Gut Must Re-
duce Omaha Chicago Wheat Rate
to Two Cents Per 100 Pounds and
Corn Rate to One Cent.

Chicago, March 9.-Another cut of
cents in grain rates from trans Mis-
souri, territory to Chicago is an
nounced by the Northwestern rail
road. A worse blow to the Great
Western than the actual cut in rates
was the announcement Of the North
Western that, under it's new tariff, eff
fective March IL, grain may be
stopped in Omaha or Council Bluffs
and stored in elevators or ground in
mills without any charge for these
privileges, If forwarded via the North
Western road. .N
BY this action the Northwestern
gives grain dealers In Omaha the same
facilities as are enjoyed by dealers at
other Missouri river points, but 1T sur
renders no advantage to the Great
Western, Milwaukee,, or any other
road.
In order to offer as low rates to
grain dealers at Omaha as the North
western has just made, the Great
Western must make another cut Of 2
cents in the rate from Omaha to Chi
cago, which would reduce the tariff
on wheat to 2 cents per 100 pounds
and on corn to cent per 100 pounds.

G. II. p. PLAN IMPROVES
Railroad Men Say 1t Is Taking More
Reasonable Shape.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, March 9.-The Grand
Trunk-Pacific project for new trans
continental road Is gradually working
into what the railroad, authorities Of
this country regard as practical and
practicable scheme. The part Of the
original plan that was severely criti-
ciZed, namely the building of another
government line to parallel the Inter
colonial, has been abandoned, at
least until such time as the traffic Of
the east shall make 1t business
proposition, and the governments eff
forts are now to be directed toward
the rushing thru Of the western or
prairie section. The plan, as modified,
Is considered by the western railroad
people of the United States fair
working plan and one that will likely
result in the construction of a system
that can be made to pay as the terri
tory develops.
Canadian pacific people deny abso-
liItely that there is the least ground
for the story printed here week or
so ago that the road will take over
the Grand Trunk Pacific project if it
IS given up by Grand Trunk. They
say they couldn't think of it. The
stockholders who have supplied loyal
liz the money for the great advances of
Canadian Pacific would oppose 1t
ssrenuously. \ The Canadian Pacific
view is that Canadian Northern and
Great Northern of Canada will
ultimately become part Of the Grand
Trunk Pacific. They know that one
o6fer was made by the government, to
Mackenzie & Mann and refused. They
know that other offers. will be made
and do not believe that the promoters
will turn down a fair after.
It Is considered probable, however,
that the government will fight the
coming campaign on the basis OF an
entirely new and independent line In
the northwest. When four years more
of office are assured it will be time
enough to modify the plan and to take
such measures to get control of the
Mackenzie & Mann-Booth-Melv lie
systems as shall be necessary. The
project Of a new government line Will
be the platform upon which Laurier
and his government will win their
fight. -
After long discussion and mar
row escape from defeat the agreement
with the Canadian government for the
building of the Grand Trunk to
the Pacific was ratified in Lon
don yesterday by the sharehold-
ers. General Manager c.. M. Hays

CHOPPING SUGAR RATES
Missouri Pacific Makes a Cut of Seven
Cents.

The Missouri Pacific has cut sugar
rates again. The cut Of cents makes
the rate from New Orleans to Mis-
souri, river points 20 cents a hundred
pounds. On shipments Of 10000
pounds minimum when coming from
the east, the rate from the Mississippi
to Missouri river points, will be
cents where it was formerly 20 cents
The rate from st. Louis to Kansas
points will be II cents less than the
regular fifth-class rates, except where
a lower tariff is already in effect. The
Illinois Central has followed with 9
2O-cent rate on sugar from New Or
leans to all Missouri river points. This
is a reduction of from cents to IL
cents a hundred pounds.
No further reductions have beer
made into this territory, the rate now
being cents to Minneapolis.
