HARTMAN BoRRows s1o,ooo,ooo
Wall Street Is Curious to Know What
y Will Be Done with It.
Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
New York, July 2S.-It has become
known in Wall street that the Union
Pacific railroad recently borrowed $780,
100000, and that it is one of several
instances of heavy borrowings by the
company in the last few months. The
last loan was for six months at 512
per cent. What the terms of thepre-
vious loans were has not been made
known nor their exact amount.
What Wall street wants to know is,
what this money was used for and why
it was necessary for the Hartman in
terests to borrow at all.
The general belief was that the
treasury of the Union Pacific was in a
we'll filed condition. When the North
erin Securities company was dissolved
by order of the supreme court, there
came into possession Of the Union Pa
cifc large holdings of Great Northern
and Northern Pacific securities. Their
sale would have provided the Union
Pacific with a vast amount Of cash.
Now the question has arisen, what
has become of the money. from those
securities, and also what is being done
with the large sums borrowed in the
last few months. !
There is a suspicion that much Of this
money has been expended not only in
Illinois Central purchases, but in Atchi-
son, Northern Pacific and Great North
ern deals, and there was expressed a
feeling that an attempt was being made
to secure for the Union Pacific system
an important, if not controlling voice
in Illinois Central and Atchison which,
with the South Pacific would extend
the inhuenceof the Hartman system
to an extent that few had suspected.

TOWN HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
CROSBY FLIRTS WITH TWO RAIL
ROADS AND SECURES ADvAN-
TAGEoUs CONCESSIONS.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Crosby, N. D., July 2S.--It now ap-
pears to be settled that the Great
Northern will extend its branch from
Berthold thru northern, Williams county
this season and that Crosby will be it's
terminal.
Whether or not the Great Northern
intended to follow up its survey with
actual construction has been question
of much concern, especially to the bust
ness interests of Crosby, which, as the
trade center of northern Williams
county, has assumed considerable
growth.
The 500 has road graded thru this
section from Flaxton on it's main line
and the laying of rails on this has be-
gun. The road, however, does not en-
ter Crosby, but passes about mile and
half to the north, and the company,
taking it as granted that the town
would. move, plated q new Crosby
townsite, two and half miles northeast
of the present site. , H.. #t@
When the sale Of lots was opened
about two weeks ago it was found that
the business men had formed COM
pact, and refused to buy, giving to the
officials a prepared statement of their
objections and dissatisfaction. AS a
| result the sale was declared off and a
| new site selected half a mile nearer,
| be without many of the Objectionable
features Of the former.
The leading motive, however, back of
the objections of the business men
seems to have been to defer action un-
til definite knowledge could be had rel
alive to the intention of the Great
Northern.
On Wednesday Messrs. R. E. Tate,
engineer, and G. H. Babcock, land com
missioner of the Great Northern, ar.
rived and settled the matter in the
minds Of the people by selecting a site
for terminal purposes, and at a called
mass meeting, giving assurances that
the road would be built and in opera.
ton this year.
The new townsite will be mile and
a half east Of Crosby's present location
and two miles south Of the proposed
500 Crosby townsite. AS the 500 is
built only six miles south Of the inter.
national boundary line and the Great
Northern only two miles south of the
500, in this county, the object Of the de-
lay of the Great Northern seems OBJ
vious to many, and with a rich agricul
tural country lying to the. south it is
felt that the towns along it's line will
be prosperous trade centers.

Law HITS scALPERs
Railroad Men Discover. New Beauties
in Rate Measure.

Ticket scalpers now fall under the
federal law as well as the state law,
according to the belief of railroad men
who have studied the new law.
1T is a certainty. that if the rail
ticket brokers will not be allowed to
sell any cut-rate tickets,'' said a rail
road man Yesterday. ct believe the
law will affect railroad conductors also.
They will not be allowed to cut fares
between stations, but must charge full
fare, according to the published tariff,
or else stand chance of being prose-
cuted.' ... ..oE-4
The law provides penalty Of not
less than $1,000 and not more than
$4,000 for each offense. If the scalp
ers are to be. offenders in the sight Of
the law, it is certain that they will
not continue long in the business after
they have been convicted of one Of
Tense and made to pay one fine.

Waterloo, Iowa, July 28.-The off

demand of the city of Waterloo. En-

Export Trade Increasing.

New York. July 2S-Bradstreet's summary
Of export trade says: The heavy movement Of
winter wheat to market. while tending to some
ease i'll prices has a favorable side when the
export business is considered. Reports are that
a large future business in this direction has al.
ready been booked. An interesting sdelight on
the pessimstic predictions current some time
ago as to the meat trade, is found in advices
from Chicago that cattle and hog prices are at
the highest point of the year. Railway traffic
returns point to an unprecedentedly heavy vol
ume of business Offering. Export trade on
the iron and steel keeps up surprisingly we'll,
this being made possible probably by excellent
trade in foreign markets.
