BURLINGTON CUTS MAIL RATE
Rock Island Meets New Opposition in
Contest for Business
WAR FOR GOVERNMENT BUSINESS FEARED
Omaha OmcfhIs Think Cut May BE
Caused by Waiver of Cost
of Transfer at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb 1.-The Inter Ocean to-
day says that in order to prevent the
transcontinental mail from being trans
ferred to the Rock Island system the Bur-
lington railroad has notified the Postoffice
department that 1t will cut its rates for
this. service about per cent, equal to about
$4,000 per annum. E
This Is the first time that a railroad has
offered to cut the rate fixed by an act of
congress for mail service. The Burling-
toms proposition caused amazement in rail-
way circles yesterday. In view of the bills
which have been introduced in congress to
lessen the pay to railroads for mail service
The fear was expressed by officials Of
other railroads that the Burlington's. ac-
ton might lead to a rate war between the
railroads for mail traffic between all COM
petitive points, and might also be regarded
by congress as the best Of evidence that
the price paid by the government for the
transportation of the mails has been too
high.

PLAN OF DRAWING FUNDS.

state Treasurer Seed Makes Amnouace- nent on Allotment From DeDositoriea.
 state Treasurer Walter D. Seed yes- terday made the following announce nnent in reference to the drawing Of the second allotment on State Deposit ories.
 Tn the last few days. I have drawn on every State Depository for the first small allotment, and have begun draw ing on the second allotment. It VIII be my plan to start alphabetically at the first of the list. rdnning through the entire list and calling on each bank for a small percentage. For the second allotment, I will start at the last of the alphabet and run backward. This will be done so as to place each bank on absolutely the same basis.
 The probabilities are that the de- posits with all the banks will remain from now until the middle of January below the amount designated. It is not likely that the banks will be drawn on for more than twenty or twenty-five per cent of the States funds before October 1. The probabil- ities are that during November they will have less than half of their al- lotment nhand for part of that month.

CONFERENCE PLANNED

Freight OfaciaIs of Railroad To Ga- ther In Jamestown For Ex-

Freight officials of the Atlantic Coast Line on Mo-' somery have re- ceived notice from headquarters that a meeting of the solicitation forces and local agents at prominent stations of the railroad will be held at Jamestown, September 5-6. The officiais are re- quested to attend the gathering.
 In all, the notices have been sent out to fifty three persons employed by the Coast Line who are eligible to attend tn meeting. Montgomery will have three representatives: W. T. Savage, local freight agent. ana S. P. Collier and H. c. Allen, commercial agents. v A gathering of this kind Is an inno- vation in Coast Line circles. and, in fact. 1t is said there are very few roads, if any. which have such meet ings. The officials attend entirely at tn expense of the road, and, estimating that the trip will cost each man about $50, tho meeting win cost the Coast Line approximately $2,000.
 It is intended for an exchange of idea among the various freight men scat tered over the country. with the idea that each official can gain much in- formation that will be useful to him in transacting the business of the com pany.
