RAIL WAYS TO
MEET CANAL
RA TES
TranScontinentaI Lines Will
Fight Steamships to
Finish

Not for a minute will the great
railroad companies of the United
States sit idly by and watch their
enormous freight business go into the
hands of the steamship companies,
who are planning low transportation
rates with the opening of the Panama
canal. Million dollar brains behind
the railroads are at work planning
overland tariffs that will meet any
competition the steamboat men may
be able to put into effect
This was made apparent this morn
ing, when it was announced by off,
cials of the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe systems that already plans
are being made to put into effect ex-
port rates on freight from all points
in the United States to the orient and
Australia, and, If necessary, to other
widely distributed spots on the globe.
RATE CHOP ASSURED
For years the Canadian Pacific and
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound railroads have enjoyed exclu-
sive export tariffs to the orient and
Australia They have done an enor
iIlOuS puSlHeSS But OlneT TdllTOduS
are beginning to realize that they
must put export rates as low as pos
sible to leave a margin of profit IL
they intend to be in the running after
1915, or after the canal opens for the
worlds commerce.
1t was announced officially by w.
G. Darnwell, assistant traffic manager
of the Santa Fe, that the Great North
ern, the Northern Pacific, the Santa
Fe, the Southern Pacific and the West
ern Pacific are now engaged In franz
ing export rates to the orient and
Australia, which will be in competi-
tion with the lowest rates the steam
ship companies will be able to ad-
vance.
RATES EFFECTIVE JANARY I
The officials are not willing to say
what their new export rates will be
until they have been revised and are
ready to go into effect. about the first
of the year. Neither do they know
what competition rates they will have
to face, but they know that the Pan
anna canal will enforce much lower
freight tariffs than is being paid to
the railroads now.

Talking of sculpture, it was a queer

Uncle Sam, this vagrant fancy of an
official architect. 1t is perhaps an
illustration of the haphazard way in
which congress makes appropriations,
or the way in which the departments
spend the money that, when 1t came to
providing the necessary harmless clocks
to keep time for the custom house stan,
it was found that there were no funds
left, as the appropriation had been all
exhausted in providing the decorations.
1t used to be an ancient joke among
the politicians that, when the other
jobs were all filled and there remained
somebody who had to be taken care
Of a place was found for him to wind
the clock in the mint. There is no
such place in the custom house, for
there are no clocks. The money went

The account proceeds:
