CHICAOO , Doc. 6. The nock Island has
formally announced that , effective December
20 , It will cease all Interchange of business ,
both freight and passenger , with the Chicago
cage Qrjat Western. This Is' In line with
the Santa Fe's action of last Friday , which
takes effect December 16. The trouble between -
tween the Great Western and Its competitors
arises chiefly out of freight matters.
ST. PAUL , Dec. 6. President Stlckney of
the Chicago Great Western has returned
from the east and had this to eay about
the boycotting of his road , which he pro
nounced "an Insignificant affair : " "Out of
the business we handled In connection with
the Santa Fo last year the Chicago Great
Western received only $5,000 , the Santa Fo
receiving about $19,000. If they wnnt to lose
119,000 to Injure us to the slight extent
they can they may do so. I do not know
Just how much freight we exchanged with
them last year , but the whole affair that
the newspapers are talking about amounts to
little. The Chicago Great Western has many
connections. I have not received any offi
cial statement that the Rock Island Intended
to discontinue traffic relations with the Chicago
cage Great Western. "
It Is generally supposed that the cause of
the Santa Fe's dissatisfaction was the irregu
larity of rates , the blame for which the
Chicago Great Western refuses to shoulder.
No Notice In Ottmhn.
Neither the paneengcr nor the freight de
partments of the Rock Island In Omaha
have received any advices concerning the
discontinuance of the traffic relations with
the Chicago Great Western road. No adVices -
Vices ou the subject wcro received from
Chicago yesterday. The Santa Fe railroad
does not maintain an office In this city.
The determination of the Santa Fe and
Rock bland roads to boycott the Great
Western was productive of a great deal of
discussion In railway circles during the
day. Some railroad men say the boycott
will do the Great Western more good than
harm , while others hold to an opposite opin
ion. Not a few think that the rate dis
turbance ! over which the officials have
bean so trubled that they have decided on
a cessation of through business with the
Great Western wlH be straightened out be-
for December 20 rolls around , forestalling
the occurrence of the reported boycott. It
Is understood the boycott , If made effective
on December 20 , will not absolutely prevent
the Interchange of business between the
Rock Island and the Great Western or the
Santa Fe and the Great Western , as busi
ness cannot legally he refused for points
on the Great Western If focal rates are paid.
The understanding Is now that the Rock
Island and the Santa Fe will pull out
their through tariffs with the Great West
ern , practically preventing any exchange
of passenger or freight business with that
load.
Haw noycutti Work.
In discussing the situation an Omaha railroader
reader saye : "It's the old game of the big
follows trying to freeze out the little one ,
but It will not succeed this time any more
that It baa In the past. About two years
ago the Lake Shore road , eelf-satfefled at
Its own uperlorlty , started la with an open
boycott of the Clover Leaf , a weak lino.
Circulars were Issued over the names of the
traffic officials of the Lake Shore road com
pelling the Lake Shore agents to refuse
to ecu a person a ticket or to route any of
his freight over the Clover Leaf , no matter -
tor If the person did ask the Lake Shore
to make such connection. What was the
rosultT In less than sixty days the Lake
Shore people were In the United States
court begging off like so many babies. The
Clover Leaf WOE In the hands of a receiver
and the receivership made It possible for
the court to protect the property In ita care.
That ended that boycott.
"Then about a year ago the Santa Fe
found that the Port Arthur route was get
ting through southern business because It
named cheaper rates. President Rlpley of
the SanU Fe started In to boycott the Port
Arthur route. No tickets were to be
sold over that line or any freight
shipped that way. Wel , that boycott was
quickly called off through the aid of an
Injunction which the Port Arthur people
very properly secured. The courts have
ruled on this boycott matter so many times
that I am surprlecd that even the Santa Fe ,
which Is sometimes called 'the great Amer
ican boycott route , ' would attempt It.
AdvertUlnir Aluo Ilelpi.
"But the matter does not end with , the
courts. An official of the Port Arthur route
told ma that the Santa Fe boycott against
bit Hn did them at least $10.000 worth
of good. It favorably advertises the line
that li to be boycotted. It always operates
that way. The American people are great
people to look out for the under dog and
a road that Is boycotted always cornea out
of such an ordeal more popular and In a
better condition to get traffic than before It
vaa boycotted. I don't care how big a line
or how powerful a corporation back of It
a railroad has got to have friends to get
business. The road that la most popular In
Omaha today Is the road that Is getting
more business In and out of here than any
other road. The Lake Shore Is a strong
line and It had the backing of the Van-
derbllt system , but It lout lots of friend/a /
cd some business boycotting the Clover
Leaf. The Santa Fe Is a great system , but
Jt Ihurt itself when It boycotted the Port
Arthur route. The Santa Fe and the Rock
Island together form a powerful combina
tion , but they will do the Great Western
loU of good Uirough the best kind of adver-

NEW UNION PACIFIC' DEPOT

Hooti HP In.
Contractora on the new Union Pacific depot
are taking advantage of every fair day to
push work on that atructuie. They eay this
winter hai not been a favorable ono BO far
for building , and they cannot afford to allow
good weather to pass unimproved when It
tarries with us temporarily. The relics of
the lost snow storm have been removed
from the stonework in the foundation and
twenty-four stonemasons are now employed
to hurriedly complete that portion of the
building. A largo force of brlckmasons la
also employed and one of the division walls
In the express building has been erected
and another Is about complete. It the
weather continues good this week this build
ing will be ready for the steel work by next
Monday.
Some of the cut stone is being set on the
north wall of the depot building. On this
utdo of the depot the cut stone will be five
feet high and on the south elde , facing the
tracks , It will be three feet. The extra foun
dation to support the higher part ot the depot
structure Is being oullt and will be com
pleted within a few days.
Plans for the umbrella sheds have been
drawn and according to them four tracks
arc to be covered. This number may be In
creased if the business of the roads should
Increase between now and the completion ot
the depot.

Oninhn-ChlcnKO Ilouten to He Nearly
the Snmc Length.
J. T. Harahan , second vice president of
10 Illinois Central railroad , Is authority for
.he statement that the Illinois Central's
ow line from Chicago to Omaha will bo
'xnctly ' COS miles long and will BO nearly
5 < iual the other lines that It will cut a big
gure in the traffic between tbo two cities.
If this statement U correct , and the
ource of the Information places the seal of
uthorlty on it , the new line will be only
fteen miles longer than the shortest line
ow In existence between Omaha and Chicago
cage , and two inllca longer than the present
ongest route. The distance from Fort
Dodge to Chicago on the Illinois Central Is
74.73 miles. This leaves 130.27 miles for
ho length ot the new line between
) maha and Fort Dodge , upon which the
ngineers and graders are now at work.
According to the Ofllclal Railway Guide
ho Milwaukee road at present has the short
Ino between Omaha and Chicago , 490 miles.
The Northwestern Is given second place with
mileage of 492.5 miles. The Burlington's
ullcago Is shown to bo 500 miles from the
Chicago station to the Union Pacific trans-
er at Council Bluffs , which makes the mila
ge to this city E02 miles. The Rock Island's
mileage ia 503 miles. The Illinois Central
vlth 505 miles will rank very close to the
our Omaha-Chicago lines now engaged In
ho traffic between the two cities , so far as
he length of time Is concerned.
Talk * of John I. Illnlr.
B. S. Josselyn , general manager of the
Kansas City , Osceola & Southern railway ,
. as at Union Pacific headquarters yesterday ,
'enewlng ' the pleasant friendships with the
ifflclals ot the road with which he was as-
oclated some fourteen years ago. At that
Ime he held an Important position in the
peratlng department. His success slnco
hen and his rise with the 'Frisco line have
been frequently noted.
The road of which Mr. Josselyn Is gen-
ral manager is known as "The Blair line , "
because that pioneer railroad builder , John
, Blair , constructed the line and at one time
wncd It practically all. In speaking ot Mr.
Blair General Manager Josselyn said to a
Bee reporter : "Tho old gentleman Is over
)0 ) years of age , but ho appears hale and
hearty. I saw him not so very long ago at
his home at Blalrstown , N. J. , and he said
ho felt as young aa when ho was out here in
ho west building railroads. Last year he
had a great reunion of his many de-
ceudanta at his old New Jersey home. He
doesn't take a very active Interest in rall-
oadlng now. His New York bankers look
after most of his business for him , though
he clips the coupons himself. You may not
remember It , but the town of Blair , Neb. ,
s named after John I. Blair. He built the
Sioux City & Northern and helped to build
several roads In hero. "When I first worked
'or ' him I was an operator at Cedar Rapids ,
la. , on _ the Northwestern road. He was
ust as 'nice a man to work tor then as he
a a genial old gentleman today. "

When you can buy a fine kid lined Russian leather
slipper for 2.50 a pair you'ro not doing badly. When
yon can buy them for 2.25 you'ro doing a great deal
better. "When you can buy them for 1.90 a pair ,
you are doing something extraordinary and that's
just what you can do right here. In maintaining
this wo simply want to give you an idea of how cheap
we are soiling men's Christmas gifts , whether slip
pers or smoking jacket or shoos or hats or gloves or
bath robes or neckwear or suspenders or anything
that a man wears. A list of prices won't help you
much. From now until Christmas Eve the paper ?
will bo filled with prices that don't mean a single
thing until you see the goods. Wo have slippers for
men at SOc a pair , that cost that much to make them
but it would sound bigger value to say they wore
' 'dollar slippers marked down to 69 cents. " We don't
do business that way. "Wo want every lady who
wants goods in our line to come in and look over
what we havo. You do the looking and the goods
will do the rest.
