Merchants Plan to Save
On Freight From East
Railroads and shippers have
evolved a plan by which in the future
they are ot the opinion that they will
be able to get freight through from
the east at c. reasonable cost and in
fairly good time.
East of Chicago on all rail lines
the congestion of freight is something
fierce. The situation has become so
accute that Omaha merchants are re
ceiving their .New York shipments by
express and at a cost of around $3.70
t hundred pounds on fourth class.
Now a scheme has been figured out
by the Rock Island by which the
merchants will save 70 cents to $1 a
hundred pounds. It contcmphtes
shipping by express to Chicago and
by freight from there to Omaha. In
Chicago the transfer from the express
to the freight depots will be made
free of charge.
