Great Northern Railroad
Makes Sweeping Reduction
in Eastern Grain Rates
Is A VOLUNTARY ACT
Saving in Transportation
of Crops Adds Nearly S3,-
100000 to Growers Profit
is A VOLUNTARY ACT

ST. PAUL. Aug. 19.-Just as the
movement of the grain crop is about tc
begin, the Great Northern Railroad to-
day announced a sweeping reduction In
grain rates throughout it's eastern ter
r1tory, extending to the boundary OF
Montana. Three years ago the road
made important reductions in the west
ern section. The new rates. it is claim
ed, will add millions to the potential re-
sources OF the farmers of the North
west. The reduction is not made, it is
claimed. in pursuance of any pressure,
but as voluntary act and, in the words
of an official, "a profit-sharing policy OF
the road between the railroad and the
has been fundamental in the manage
ment OF the Great Northern
The meaning of these reductions to
the farmers of the Northwest Is some
thing more than the>winning of battle
or the signing of some advantageous
commercial treaty." said a prominent
railroad official. 1T affects the entire
grain product Of the Northwest, for the
same rates have been met by the North
ern Pacific and must be met by every
other line doing business in the same
territory and tributary to 1t. You can
not tell how far a movement like this
will reach. 1t will mean a saving Of
more than 200, 100000 bushels in the or
dinary markets. This foots up from
100000 to 100000 that will remain
in the pockets Of the farmers, of which
the Great Northern will contribute at
least one-half."
