FIXING THE CORN RATES
Atlantic Seaboard Lines Will Meet TO
morrow to Discuss Vexing Question.

Conference in New York between
the Atlantic seaboard lines regarding
the proportionate rates for hauling ex-
port corn from the Missouri river to
Baltimore was postponed from Tuesday
to Thursday. Meanwhile the gulf lines
are profting from the low rate which
they have in force. The Atlantic lines
have maintained the regular tariff.
1t. was agreed the first Of the year
that the rate should be II cents from
Kansas City and Is cents from Omaha
to, the gulf, with 271a cents from Kan
sas City and Omaha to Baltimore. In
view of the inability to carry out all
the contracts by the first of the year,
it was agreed by both the gulf and the,
Atlantic seaboard lines that the cheap
rates should be deferred until Jan. Is.
/ On that date the gulf lines put In the
cheap rate and the lines east and west
Of Chicago were left with the local rates
because they could not agree as to the
proportionate rates east Of Chicago.
The advantage for the gulf lines is eYi-
dent. The Wabash is the only ) line
which has bid for the business with &
2113-cent rate. The payment of 1.6
fob. charge at Baltimore is the bone
Of contention. The western lines say
they pay the elevator charge Of IL d
cents at the river and should not be
asked to assume the other. The eastern
lines demand the full local rate, of III
cents to Baltimore, which the western
lines say is more than enough. It is ex-
ter in charge of Denver terminals, and
the Lyons branch Of the Chicago. Burl-
ington & Quincy railway, with head
quarters at Denver, Col.

WANT THE INTEREST T..
State Will Try to Collect $4,000 from
Federal Government

The state of Minnesota will put in a
claim for $4,000 against the United
States; The amount in question is
issued in 1862 to defray the expenses
of the Indian war. They ran ten years
at I per cent. and the government paid,
back the principal, but not the interest.
A recent decision Of the United States
supreme court held that in similar cir
cumstances the government must rei1n-
burse the state Of New York for inter
est paid. Under this decision it is be-
lieved that Minnesota s claim must
be allowed, after hanging up more than
thirty years. T

G. P. R. FEARS not
A HILL INVASION.
WILLIAM WHITE THINKS TRAF-
FIG WON'T BE DIVERTED.
He Believes the Hill Lines Will Be
Chartered but Depends Upon Rates to
Maintain Canadian Traffic for Cana
dian Lines Canadians Prefer to Eos
ter Canadian Lines.

Special to The Journal
Montreal, Jan. l7.-William Whyte,
second vicepresident Of the Canadian
Pacific railway, when asked if he
thought the new lines President j. J.
Hill Of the Great Northern is reported
to be promoting, would result in divert
ing much traffic from Canada into the
states said, 81 hardly think so. OF
course Hill is not appearing in the mat
ter himself, but he is believed to be
behind the project for new line from
the border up to Brandon and westward
to Regina. He will not appear on Che
local men, who are friendly to the gov
eminent, and they will sell their char
ter to Hill.'
"You think the scheme will go thru,
the legislatures7'
would not be surprised. OF course,
true patriotism should stimulate our
western people and lead them to as
sert their influence to prevent Cana
dian products from finding their way to
British markets by United States routes,
but I am afraid patriotic sentiment
would not in all cases weigh much
against cheap rates.
However, our rates are cheaper than
those of the Great Northern, SO I do
not think the new lines, which are sim
ply intended to be feeders Of the Great
Northern, will take much Canadian traf-
+ fc. It would not be- to, the interest Of
the Great Northern to cut it's rates be-
low the usual tariff in order to get that
traffic. Our people realize that money
they spend on the states railways does
not come into the country again, where
as that spent on railways in Canada is
spent for the most part in Canada pro-
viding work for our own people and
building up our own Institutions
