Washington Juno 21 Acting under
tho authority of tho act of congress
approved June 6 1900 and a notlco
Issued jointly by tho secretary of the
treasury tho acting attorney general
and tho secretary of tho Interior the1
governments Interest In tho Sioux
City and Pacific Railroad company
was Bold at auction yesterday to tho I
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
company for 2112000thls being tho1
upset price fixed by tho government
and Including a credit of 250000 duo
the company for mall transplrtatlon
etc The larger amount was paid In
cash
Some time ago tho commission ap
pointed to estimate tho value of tho
road fixed the amount at 3500000
Of this total there wero prior Hens
amounting to 1628000 which would
leave the value of tho governments
claim 1872000 which with the credit
of 250000 makes the amount realized
yesterday The total amount of tho
governments claim however was
1028320 In principal and 255C2G9 In
interest making a total of 4184589
According to the value of the road as
estimated by experts no amount great
er than tho prico brought could be re
alized hence the upset price was fixed
at that figure The Indebtedness grew
out of the Issuance of bonds by the
United States to the railroad company
under the acts of July 1 18G2 and July
2 18G4

To Be Traffic Autocrat of Harrlman
Lines West of Missouri

Pacific whoso appointment as traffic
manager of tho vast system of rail

terest is announced from Chicago has
arrived In this city In speaking of
the Innovation to be Introduced In rail
road methods by the creation of the
position to which he has just been
appointed Mr Stubbs explained the
matter by saying that Mr Harrlman
had been considering for some time
the feasibility and probability of man
aging the traffic of the lines In which
he is interested and has evolved a plan
-which in Harrimans opinion ought
to accomplish the heretofore impossi
ble task of harmonizing the interests
of the several Harrlman roads As
Mr Stubbs puts it It is a plan to bring
about a unification of interests with
a reduction of friction and the elimlna
t tlon of unnecessary competition with
out consolidating the properties under
one management Under this plan
one man is to have entire charge of
the traffic of the several corporations
and in order effectually to divorce the
traffic from the other affairs of the
road this official will report directly
to the board This power and respon
sibility comparable to no other In the
histqry of railroading was offered to Mr
Stubbs and he accepted The plan Is
an absolutely new one in railroading
