Traffic Deal of Western Pacific Re
garded With Anxiety.

New York, Aug. 27.-It is predicted
that the traffic alliance between the
western Pacific and the Togo Kison
Kaisha Steamship company will bring
on an International freight rate war.
The Southern Pacific traffic agreement
with the steamship company termi-
mates in January next, when one with
the Westedn Pacific goes into effect. It
is asserted to be the intention of the
Gould line to make things interesting
for the Hartman road.
It is appreciated that for a few
years the expenditures for main
tenance of equipment and way will be
light on the Western Pacific and this
prompts the belief that it means to
start a rate war with a view to cap
turing a large share of transcontinental
and Oriental business. seeking traffic

This Wonderful New Cadillac was not possible l2 months ago

 It is the embodiment and the expres- sion of d manufacturing principle to which the Cadillac Company commit ted itself more than ten years ago.
 The Cadillac principle, faithfully fol- lowed all these years, is this-that any one of ten thousand or more Cadillacs should be interchangeable in it's parts with any other Cadillac of the same type.

 This principle implies very large production with its consequent econ omy.
 But it also implies painstaking ex- actness which must be exercised every hour of every working day in the year by every branch of a highly skilled organization.

DEAL CLOSED WITH FLORIDA
LAND SYNDICATE-WlLL DIVIDE

Messrs. G. r. Hickey and D. Alder
son, well known railroad men, who are
connected with the Northern Pacific
railroad, with headquarters at Detroit,
Mimi, have just closed deal with the
Florida Land syndicate through J. M.
Bremen of Fargo, N. D., by which they
have acquired a valuable tract of land
situated near Green Cove Springs, in
Clay county.
This tract of land, embracing 1000
acres, is bounded on three sides by
water and is well adapted to the grow
ing of fruit and truck.
The st. Johns river, which is about
five miles wide at this point, flows
along the eastern boundary of the land,
the rivers depth there being from
twenty to sixty feet and navigable for
large vessels.
Messrs. Hickey and Alberson looked
over a number of tracts before finally
deciding on this land, purchasing it
on account of it's nearness to Jackson
vile and it's accessibility to the largest
markets of the state
This land will be surveyed immad-
lately and divided into farms of from
ten to twenty acres each. The owners
will colonize the tract themselves,
selling the farms to their associates
in the railroad circle.
1t is expected that many OF these
new settlers will immigrate to Florida
within few weeks. Mr.. Bremen re-
ports a large number of sales recently
