FORMER RATES ARE RESUMED
Roek Island wfthdraws Tariff which
Abolished Proportional
Grain Rates.

The Rock Island has onicially announced
20 local grain men the withdrawal OF It's
tariff abolishing proportional rates from
Omaha on grain originating west Of the
river. The amended tariffs announce that
the old proportional rates will apply on
sTain from both sides OF the river.
The Rock Island was a party TO the agree
nent. whereby the railroads proposed to
make local rates apply on Iowa grain TO
Omaha. thereby preventing the grain from
going TO Omaha and thence to the gulf
and giving the Omaha Chicago lines the
long haul. The agreement fell through, as
similar ones have many times before.
