Frisco Officials Not Satisfied With
New York Decision.

With reference to the decision of
Justice Traux in the Supreme court.
New York city, setting aside the traf-
fic agreement of April IA. 1904, be-
tween the Chicago & Eastern Illinois,
the St. Louis & Santa Francisco and
the st. Louis Memphis & Southeast
ern, statement has been made by
Robert Mather. general counsel Of the
Rock Island which owns the Frisco.
He says: THE decision VIII have lit
tie effect. because the traffic agree
ment which is in litigation exists be-
tween companies owned in the same
interest. The effect is to deprive Ger
tain bonds issued of the benefit of the
security of the traffic agreement. The
bonds are. however. amply secured by
first mortgage on some 700 miles of
road. Mr.. Kissel. who brought the
suit. contended that the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois railroad had no right
to enter into the traffic agreement and
that the value of the stock certificates
Of the Frisco would be impaired. The
case will now be taken to the appel
late court and thence to the court Of
appeals"

FUTURE OF CATTLE TRAFFIC.
Cutting Up of Ranges Has No Eject
ON Car Orders.


on Car Orders.
IT is generally admitted by railroad
men as. Wen as cattle men that the day
CT the big cattle business is passing
FAST but they say they are cheered by
the realization that as the cattle ship
ments pass out. more profitable bust
ness in the shape of agricultural prod
ucts must come in. Besides, the cat
tie business they argue will never be
ended. as the cutting up of the big
pastures means that farmers will raise
and feed smaller punches of stock
which will be sold.
1t appears that these convictions
have had no effect upon the orders for
stock cars. this being largely due to the
combination of facts that there is still
heavy cattle shipping at seasons, the
old rolling stock is wearing out and
because the stock car may now be used
for other purposes.
They have always been utilized for
shipments ow watermelons and other
similar products, but with the use of
oil as fuel it has become customary to
ship cotton in them Under the old
rules cotton had to be shipped in box
cars owing to the danger from sparks.
