FEED1XC-IX-TRASSIT RATES
An Old Privilege that la Soon to Bo
Withdrawn.
SO RAILROAD MANAGERS HAVE DECIDED
Omnlin Ornlii Mrn Mnlnlnlit tlin < Ilii-
O Will IVeil AlU-ct . Hie
Corn 31m-l * 'l In \c-
1'cedlns-ln-trnnslt rates , which have been
In effect for a good many years , nro doomed.
This privilege , originally granted In the In
terest ot western stockmen , will soon bo
withdrawn. Instead of the railroads taking
this action nt a mooting of the different
lines It has 'been done almost entirely
through the avenue of correspondence. In
this way the roads relieved themselves of
the pressure which the stockmen might
bring to prevent the withdrawal of the
rat PS.
The exact date whim the withdrawal will
take i-ffcct has not been announced , but It
will not .bo . later than May 20. Under the
interstate commerce law n notice of ten
days must bo given before such changes are
made , .Itut on state business In Kansas wlxty
dajs nro required. This will make the data
May 20 before the Kansas roads can take
out the rate , but all other western roads
nro ready to withdraw U now. It will not
bo generally In effect , however , until the
duto mentioned. It Is reported that some
of the far western roads are squirming al
ready , but It IH said the agreement Is Iron
clad nnd that the rate must come out.
StiirUiuoit Will Object.
This decision by the railroads will ralso
n vigorous kick by stockmen In Wyoming ,
Colon-ado and other grazing states In the
fnr west. Up to the present time these men
have Kucrcudcd in 'bringing ' enough influence
to bear to prevent the roads , from with
drawing the rate , but the roads secured the
advantage nt this tlmo In perfecting an
nRrccment for the change before many of
the stockmen realized that such a move was
on foot.
Grain men In Omaha say Uio chungo will
not adcd the corn market In Menraska ex-
cupt In localities Immediately adjoining the
feed lots along the railroads running
through tbo slate. At those places the
farmers have received from 1 to 2 cents
more for their corn than the grain would
fcavo brought In the open market. ThlH ad
vantage , the grain men say , only accrued
to llio few farmers who were within haul
ing distance of the points where the stock
wm ( flopped for feeding purposes. They
any that western Iowa will bo moro gener
ally affected adversely through the change
than Nebraska because stock feeding there
wan moro universal among the farmers than
in this state. IJut they add again , the 20-
000,000 or 30,000,000 bushels ot corn in the
two states which has usually been fed to
stock , will not affect the general price now
that It will bo thrown upon the open mar
ket.
Shippers I'll Id tinItlll. .
Tim fcedlng-ln-translt rate was put in by
the roads west of the Missouri river eorao
ycara ajis to accommodate western stock
jn'emsls. It In simply a through rate to the
llssourl river , with a privilege to the ship
per to stop his stock at any point between
destination nnd point of shipment for six
mouths. Under this privilege the
feeding business In Nebraska nnd Kan
sas has grown to considerable pro-
jiortlons , and under It the lamb-feeding In
dustry has been built up In Colorado. The
Bhipper paid the through rate on his ship
ment , nnd for the additional sum of $10 ho
Jias boon granted the right of a. stop-over.
With this privilege the cattlemen have taken
the thin stock from the range , and after six
month ! ) In the feed lols of Nebraska and
Kansas have forwarded fat stock to the mar-
Hots. Hereafter the shipper will pay the
local rate to the feed lots , nnd rcshlp his
clock under a new bill of lading to the mar-
let , materially reducing the amount of his
profits.
The railroads , in giving their sldo of the
Btory , allege that the concession to the stock
men has been abused at the expense of the
roads. It Is charged that shippers have dis
posed of their contracts to other parties and
that cattle have been shipped to
jimrket under contracts other than those
brought from the range , giving the benefit
of a low rate to parties not entitled to it.
On the other hand , the roads nro charged
with n desire to haul the corn rather than
cattle. It Is said that with the fecdlng-in-
translt ralo the roads receive $88 a car for
Block hauled to Chicago. It Is uald that
during the tlmo the cattle are stopped for
feeding purposes they will eat three oars of
corn , for which the roads would have re
ceived $204 had It been shipped to Chicago.
On this argument the stockmen , who have
boon lighting for the retention of this con
cession , allege lhat the railroads c.ire moro
for the Immediate receipts from their busi
ness than for encouraging the growth of .1
lilg Induslry , which would redound to their
inestimable advantage In the future.

Business for the homescokers1 excursions
yrstorduy was not con plcuouly heavy
on any of the roads. As to trainc originat
ing at this point , It was not apparent to
the casral observer nt the depots. Yet to
day will be 11 fairer test on the extent
of this business , because excursionists start
ing from points east of the Mississippi river
will como through at that tlmo. The bulk
of what lltlle business Ihero was yester
day was ticketed to the northwest , where
the low rates are effective. There was ono
email party destined for Ogdcn. and another
tfor Parma , Idaho. Straggling passengers
wore going through to Portland and other
jiolnts on the North Paclllc coast. It could
not 1)o learned that any considerable num
ber of farmers were going to the plains of
Nebraska in smrch of IIMHIM. Moro of these
may bo on the trains today.
Even the excursion to I'ort Arthur , Tex. ,
for which an unusually low rate was made ,
cannot bo said to have
como up to the ex
pectations of the managers , Among those
who went from this city were M. o. Maul ,
Byron Hastings , w. Urnst Johnson , J. E.
Rugg , C. J. Harber and wlfo and F. J.
CoatcB. There wore some from South Omaha
mid a number from other towns near by.

from Omixha to the Outf of Mexico , good
unlit April 5 , the business was not what th6
concessions KCTC expected to bring.
The lack of Interest In all these low rates ,
which enable one to go cither west or south ,
Is Interpreted by omo Immigration agcnti
to mean that there Is less unrest among thn
population In Omaha than In past years. It
is taken to Indicate that the people in this
vicinity nro generally doing well where they
nre , and low rates are no longer a tempta
tion to them to seek now fields. The expo
sition of next summer Is nlso given ns n
reason why thcro Is but n small movement
out of the city. The success of the exposi
tion lust Rummer has ft tendency to hold the
lloatlng population hero for at least another
season , instead of continuing Its nomadic
movements in quest of the over elusive land
of milk nnd honey. Hut whatever the cause ,
the railroad men uulto in saying th t the
prevailing low rates nro not drawing the
business anticipated.

pelled to add n second section to Its through

J. Jj. Laphnm of 'Denver ' has just closed
a contract with the Union Pacific land de
partment for 10,515 acres of grazing land lu
eastern Colorado , for which hu pays $13CC3.
Mr. Lapham Is a stock feeder , lie will turn
his stock on this range , and before ship
ping to market will toke them to feed lots
which ho owns in Nebraska and fatten
them.
John C. Coble of Iron Mountain , Wyo. , is
now negotiating for a tract of grazing land
In his etato covering 2C.SOS acres. Ho has
also arranged for a largo tract in Keith
county , this state , which ho will use as a
feeding ground for his stock , his methods
of business being similar to those or Mr.
Lnphain.
A largo amount of the land owned by the
Union Pacific company , which has hereto
fore boon classified as farm property , has
been ro-classlflcd as grazing laud. In
vestigation by agents of the company
brought out the fact thnt this land could
not bo successfully farmed , and the
change was accordingly made. The listed
price has been reduced accordingly. In
maily cases to one-fourth of what It was
originally. This in a measure accounts for
the sales of these big tracts. It Is be
lieved that every sale of a ranch in Colorado
rado , Wyoming or Utah will be attended by
another sale In Nebraska , when the latter
lands are put on the market , which will
bo used for feeding lots and contribute to
bettering the grain market In the western
part of the state.
IhllllKN Of tllO PlIMHCllKCr JIlMI.
Heports received here from tlio meeting
of passenger men in Chicago nre that more
attention is being given to the low rates to
northwestern points than to any other sec
tion of the disturbed rate territory. A com-
mlttco composed of the Northern Pacific ,
the See line , and a representative of the
Western Passenger association lias been ap
pointed to confer with the Great Nortliein
on Uhls question. The latter road will be
urged to withdraw its low rates to Inter
mediate points along Its line , and If It will
not do that at least make them effective
only on certain days of tlio months. This
action Jias reference to the one-way half
faro rate to any point west of St. Paul where
the regular fare Is more than $3. These
rotes were announced by the Great North
ern only a few days ago , nnd nro virtually
splitting regular passenger rates. The at
tention of the meeting is now being given
to perfecting an agreement upon which to
icorgniilzo the Western Passenger associa
tion which has been (
, hanging flro for sev

( oinnierelal Club
The executive committee of the Com
mercial club held Its regular meeting at noon
at the club rooms. In the absence of Com
missioner Utt. C , D. Thompbon acted as
secretary.
Fourteen now members were admitted , n
gratifying Increase in the membership. The
principal subject of discussion was the
action to bo taken by the committee lookIng -
Ing toward Increase In the amount ot funds
allowed by the charter to bo appropriated
for the use of the flro department. The
present charter fixes the maximum amount
for this purpose at $125,000. It had been
suggested that the executive committee take
some action which would put it on record
as being In favor of an amendment to the
charter which would permit of $160,000 be
ing appropriated annually for the lire fund.
Most of the speakers were heartily In
favor of such an amendment , declaring that
out present flro system was entirely in
adequate to meet tbe demands that arc
liable to bo made upon it. It was shown
that while Omaha has but three fire engines
that nro flt for service , Minneapolis pos
sesses twenty-two , and all other equip-
nientH of the Omaha department are pro
portionately insufficient. It was declared
that the city boa not purchased a foot of
hose since 1890 , and that what Is on hand
Is rapidly becoming useless.
A resolution was finally passed endorsing
the proposed Incienso | n the maximum of
the appropriation for flro purposes. Chair-
iiuin .11 ji i lu appointed the following com
mittee , with Instructions to use all honora
ble means to secure the passage of the
proposed amendment : Major R. E , Wllcox ,
C. S , Hayward C. II. PIckens , Harry Weller
