BARS ON MILEAGE BOOKS.
VIII Not Be Good Where 2-Cent Fare
Laws Prevail

Chicago, April 30.-On and after
May 1 the interchangeab mileage
books of the Western Passenger asso-
citation will not be sold or honored for
local transportation in the states
which have passed laws making 2
cents a mile the maximum rate of fare.
The tickets will be good for interstate
trips when one or more of the states
through which the trip is made has
legal rate higher than 2 cents a mile
The 1000 mile book is sold for $50,
or a rate of Y cents a mile. but a re-
fund of $3.50 will be made to the pur-
chaser who complies with all the con-
dftions of the ticket The Transmits
souri, interchangeab mileage book
will not be good for trips wholly in the
state of Nebraska. but may be used
between points in other states and
Nebraska.
Practically the same restrictions viii
be made as TO the use of the inter-
changeable mileage books of the east
ern railroads, so long as there is
single state which allows higher rate
than cents a mile. 1t is likely that
the interchangeable mileage tickets OF
the eastern roads will be discontinued
within two years, but the western
roads may retain them longer.

CAR STRIKE ENDS.
Company Yields Everything Except
Formal Recognition OF Union

Salt Lake City, Utah. April 30
The street car strike was ended last
night. At an early hour this morning
the street car company sent for form
er Congressman Brigham Roberts
and gave him plenary powers to come
to any settlement with the men that
would not involve formal recognition
of the union. Mr.. Roberts imme-
diateIy met National Secretary c. O.
Pratt, who told him the terms of the
men. To these Mr. Roberts assented
and the strike was over
The demands of the men which
were granted are a rate of 25 cents an
hour for carmen, 80 cents after the
first years service The recognition
Of the union was not granted by the
company, but Secretary Pratt thinks
that the change in attitude of the
company which terminated the strike
amounted nearly enough to recognf-

TO FIGHT TWO CENT FARE.
Union Pacific VIII Resist Nebraska
Statute

Union Pacific headquarters to the sta te
railway commission yesterday fntimates
that the roads contemplate resistance
to the two cent fare law. The letter is
in answer to an inquiry from the COM
mission asking why Nebraska patrons
were not being given the benefit of
the two cent rate on interstate travel
In reply to this the Union Pacific says
the lawyers for that line and others
are seriously disposed to unite in a
suit attacking the validity of the law.
The letter further says II is inadvis-
able to rearrange its interstate passen-
ger schedule until the two cent fare
laws of Iowa and Missouri take effect.
There is a chance, the letter says. that
two cent fares may be declared uncon-
stitutional and it is therefore unwise to
change schedules at present

An Immigrant Boom for the
Great Southwest.
Gould and Rock Island Lines
Promote Steamship Service.
AGENCIES IN EUROPE.
John Sebastian Is Establishing
Many of Them.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

Railroad systems of the southwest
are getting ready for the greatest i'm
migration effort in their history.
Plans are being perfected which will
result in the esta blishment of new
and effective steamship service be-
tween European ports and the gul1
ports This service will be in addition
10 the service already maintained by
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company. Among the railroads which
are interested in the great immigra-
ton movement are the Rock Island
and Frisco systems, the Missouri Pa
cific, the Hartman lines and all the
Texas lines having terminals at the
gulf ports. ]. NJ. Johnson of the
traffic department of the Gould lines
is now in Europe arranging for sew
various European countries. from
which it is expected to draw the
bulk of the immigrants
The Rock Island and the Frisco
systems, through John Sebastian,
passenger traffic manager, who was in
Topeka yesterday, have also establish
ed large number of European
agencies at a very great expense 1t
is stated that the recent ruling of the
government to the effect that a state
administration can engage in the
work of coIonizing its territory has
lent new energy to immigration pro-
jects- 1t is the plan of one or two
systems of railroads to get the south
western states interested in immigra-
ton SO that there may not be any
question as to the legality of the eff
forts which are to be made.
1t is stated that an entirely differ
ent method is to be pursued in get
ting immigration into the southwest.
1t is the plan to take the immigrant
from his home in Europe and to per
sonally conduct him until he is set
tied on his new home in the south
west. This work will be done by ac-
credited agents of the railroads who
will start the immigrant right and
who will meet him at the docks at the
port of entry. and take him to his new
farm in the southwest In many
cases the new homes will be pur-
chased conditfonalIy before the i'm
migrant leaves Europe. In this way
the settling of immigrants will be on
more Intelligent lines.

NEW ROUTES FIXED UP.
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Make
Traffic ArrangementS.

As has been stated the Phoenix &
Eastern. extending from Phoenix to
Wfnkelman, -Ariz-, 1O3 miles. has been
sold nv the Santa F'e to the Southern
Pacific company The road is to be
extended from Winkelman to a con-
nectiou with the Southern Pacific S
line in Southern Arizona, and a con-
tract has been entered into by which
the Santa Fe is given trackage rights
over the Southern Pacific line from
Phoenix TO Deming. n. NJ, in return
for which the Southern Pacific Sc
cures rights over the line of the Santa
Fe. Prescott & Phoenix. from Phoe-
nix to A & c. Junction. near Wicken-
burg; thence over the Arizona & Cali
fornia branch of the Santa Fe, which
is under construction from A & c.
Junction to Bengal. Cal, and which is
almost completed to the Colorado
river; thence over the main line OF the
Santa F-e to Mojave. Cal
This arrangement will be Of mu-
tuaI advantage to both companies.

and will likewise be of great advan-
tage to the territory through which
the roads pass The Santa Fe will
thus secure a long desired line from
Phoenix to Deming without the ex-
pense of building from Winkelman to
Deming, and the Southern Pacific will
secure a more direct line to San Fran
cisco for its southern route
The Arizona & California line of the
Santa Fe will be extended from the
Colorado river to Bengal as rapidly
as possible, and the Southern Pacific
is to undertake the extension of the

G. E.. KREATZ WAS NOT TO
BLAME FOR DAMAGE DONE
Board of Arbitration Consisting of Efficient Men, Decide
That Damage to Thome & Mayer Block Was No
Fault of Contractor.

Attorney F. E. Mcdonald; Attorney
P. J. Russell represented Thome &
Mayer, and Mr.. Strassburger of
Crookston, the architect who drew
the plans for the building, and A.
A. Buckingham, the general mana
ger of the Northern Pressed Brick
company, personally represented
their interests.
The commission met yesterday
and decided that the contractor,
George f. Kreatz, erected the block
according to the plans and specif-
cations furnished by the architect,
This clears Mr.. Kreatz, the local
contractor, from all blame for the
damage to the building.
The work of repairing the build
ing will be commenced at once and
the block will be rushed to COM
pletion.
The damage to the block was not
nearly as much as was at first sup
posed, and when the repairs are
completed, the Thome & Mayer
block will be one of the most SUBJ
stantial structures in the state.

THE RUSH TO CANADA WAS
RESULT OF ADVERTISING
Persistent Use of the Press Attracted Thousands Who
Passed Through Minnesota to Reach Lands Which
*.> Are Not Equal of Lands Here .1n.

In developing Winnipeg and the
Canadian Northwest which is tribu
tary to it, methods that are distinctly
American have been used, and ir
using them the Canadians have
outdone those from whom they took
the hint. % ~. .>:..~-.
This is due, no doubt, in a very
large measure, to the fact that Wini.
peg has become practically an Ameri
can city through the large influx o,
Americans who have brought thei1
push and energy with them anc
joined it with the sturdiness anc
indomitable persistence of thei1
Canadian cousins. --...
Advertising has been the keynote
of the development of this interesting
section. The Canadian government
has spent large sums in calling
attention to the available farming
lands of the Canadian Northwest
and this explains why settlers bound
for the prairies of that fertile area
have passed through Minnesota,
with all it's glorious but unadvertised
opportunities, and have left but a
small percentage of their number to
help develope this state.
An interesting report has lately
been published by the Winnipeg
newspapers on the work of the Win:
nipeg Industrial Bureau. Eighteen
months ago this organization, whose
executive is composed of representa-
tives drawn from ten organized busi.
ness bodies of the city, started a
campaign to extend the manufactur
ing industries of the city. The
