PROPORTIONAL RATES END.
Tariffs on Iowa Grain Go Temporarily
Out Of Existence.


Omaha, March Proportional rates
from Omaha on grain originating in.
Iowa Friday will go out of existence
as far as the Northwestern and the
missouri Facisici are concerned q
The Missouri Pacific will be without
these proportional rates for four days
and the Northwestern for an indefinite
period, which must extend over thirty
days, at least.
Something over a month ago the
Missouri Pacific announced the with
drawal of the proportional, along with
other lines. When the railroads de-
cided to withdraw the tariffs abolishing
the proportionals the Missouri Pacific
was Just four days. late Thirty days
from the withdrawal of the tariff, the
time Of notice required by law, will be
March 5, while the proportionals will
be off March 1. They will be in effect
again March 5.
The Northwestern has steadily re-
fused to withdraw the tariff which
abolishes the proportional and for thir-
ty days, at least, will have no propor-
tionals from Omaha on Iowa grain.
What grain the elevator companies
ship over the Northwestern will go on
Nebraska billing, and when Nebraska
billing runs short the Northwestern
will suffer. The consensus of opinion
is it probably will suffer in large
measure anyway, for the unfriendly
spirit shown towards Omaha is not
calculated to bring the, road any bus
mess. In the short space of four days
the Missouri Pacific will feel the effect
but slightly.
