the North-W Western brought $500 cars
from the same territory. This is only
portion of the traffic which, if sent
to Chicago. will cause the closing of
every packing plant on the Missouri
Chicago Men Benefited.
In the arguments of the interveners
in the case, it is plainly shown that
neither the shipper, the railroad, the
producer nor the packer will in any
way be benefited by the proposed change
in rates, but that The whole benefit will
flow to the 700 livestock commission
men on the Chicago exchange. If the
west bound rate is changed at the same
time the east bound rate is, however,
conditions will remain as at present.
This is what the intervenors ask Of
the court.
As against the interests Of these 700
commission men, with nothing but Of
fee furniture invested in their business,
the western points are able to show
that in Omaha, Kansas City, st. Jo-
seph, St. Paul and Sioux City alone,
more than $110,000,0O0 are invested in
buildings and lands; $4,000 workmen
are employed; $28, 100000 in salaries
paid; $415,00O,000 worth Of material
used annually, and SAT- 100000 prod
ucts manufactured each year.
The western stockyard and packing
house owners hope to secure deci-
sion which will preserve the present
ratio in the railroad rates, and they see
only destruction of their business in
any other settlement. reached. ~

Escanaba, Mich, Nov. 1.-Treat-,
ment of railroad ties with a preserva-,
tive is being successfully practiced here
by the North Western. =: - i ., 4zsa
The plant has capacity Of 100000
ties a year. There are three cylindrical
steel, retorts, ll2 feetHlong and effect
in diameter. A train of thirteen small
cars, carrying $50 ties, is run into the
retort and steam. at a,e pressure Of
twenty pounds is injected for two and
one:half hours to open the pores of the
timber. Following this, a vacuum Of
twenty-five inches is drawn for an hour
tanning 4 per cent chloride Of zinc is
then injected, and a pressure Of 100
pounds is maintained for two and one
half hours. A solution containing tan
min and glue is then injected, under the
same pressure. This plugs up, the pores
and prevents the chloride bleaching.
Half a pound of pure chloride is put
into each cubic foot, of timber. This
prevents decay and doubles the, life Of
the tie. The treatment costs about Is
cents tie. = - 49,. :.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 1.-The entire
packing and livestock interests of the
great packing points along the Missouri
river are seriously menaced by a quiet
little case, which is just now pending
before the United States circuit court
at Chicago. If the case is decided adj
versely to the western points, and SINH
lar relief is not granted those western
points, the packing houses Of Omaha,
Sioux City, St. Paul, St. Joseph, Kansas
City, St. Louis and other places in Iowa,
Nebraska and Kansas must go ;out Of
business, throwing out of employment
an army Of .workmen and tying up mil
lions Of dollars. ~ - VII
The suit is a scheme Of about 700
livestock commission dealers on the
Chicago exchange, who for, their own
personal benefit, and that they may
have increased numbers of stock to han
die, are attempting to kill the packing
house business along the Missouri river.
Should the effort be successful, the live
stock raisers as represented by the
great rancher as. well as the farmer
feeder will feel the effect of having only
single market at which to dispose Of
their stock. '"

Recent Decision.

The case grows out Of the recent de-
cision of the interstate commerce COM
mission, which ordered western rail
roads to adjust certain differences in
rates on dressed meats and livestock
which Chicago livestock dealers claimed
acted as a discrimination against their
city. This decision was that the rail
roads should adjust the livestock rate
to correspond with the dressed meat
rate. At the time Of the order the
stock yards companies of Omaha, st.
Joseph and other western cities inter
vened and demanded Of the interstate
commerce commission that if relief was
granted Chicago on these rates, the
same relief should be given the western
packing cities. -
~The intervening companies interpret
the commission IS order as covering their
contentious, as well as that of Chicago,
but the livestock men of Chicago claim
that the order only covered rates to Chi
cago and have asked the United States
circuit court to enforce the order as
applicable to rates tosthat city without
regard to rates to other points. If the
court grants the prayer of the Chicago
men, the effect will be that Chicago will
secure a monopoly Of the trade from the
| Missouri river -,s,. 49,.

Again Interviewed.

. In fighting the case, the stockyards
people of Omaha and st. Joe have
again interviewed in the court case, as
they did in. the commerce case, and
have asked the court to grant the same
relief to them as is asked by the CHI
cago men. They contend that dis
turbance Of rates, as proposed, unless
the same order is granted to western
points, will turn all the cattle and hog
shipments to Chicago and place the
other yards from St. Paul to st. Louis
at such disadvantage that they can
PCT compete for business.
~ The rate complained Of affects what
is known as the "231a-cent zone,' and
statistics submitted to the court show
that at present Chicago is getting from
IS to 70 per cent of all livestock from
that zone, owing to favorable shipping
conditions offered by the railroads.
How this rate will affect Omaha and
the other Missouri river packing points
is shown by the testimony of Presi-
dent Stickney of the Great Western
and H. R. Mccullough of the North
Western, who testified before the com
mission that the first road, in 1904
brought from the zone in question 5000
cars of stock to Omaha alone, while
