FREIGHT RATES REDUCED
The Omaha and Milwaukee Road,
Have Insued Tariff on Grain
Rates

The schedule of freight rates which
are now in force on the Chicago, Mil
waukee s. ST. Paul and the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha roads
make quite a reduction on what 1T
costs the farmer to ship his grain to
eastern markets. The reduction is
the same on both roads.
The rate on fax and millet to
| Minneapolis formerly was 10 cents
pc, hundred and the reduction brings
it oown to 1719 cents. The rates on
| wheat and -four heretofore was II
cents and the new rate places 1T at
l4h cents. The former rate on all
coarse grains was II cents and this
! has been cut to "a cents.
The following rates apply on grain
to the Chicago market: Flax 24L
ents; wheat and -four u cents;
coarse grains 20 cents.
This will be quite a large saving to
the farming interests of the country
and the reduction Will be appreciated
by the farmers.
While the credit for the reduction
OF RACES has been largely to the Great
Northern road, as it was the first to
announce the new rates, it is well
understood that this reduction was
agreed upon six months g by the
western roads.
What the people in this country
would appreciate next as the greatest
favor would be the reduction on
freight on coal from Duluth.
