Co., In Nebraska can ba placed In three classes. The first Is class that Is profitable, and from the amount of revenue received, could be called paying veoturee. The aecond class would be composed of those railroads which are practically self-supporting without much profit accruing, and the third class would bs composed of those roads that do not pay, either from the fact that the country tributary to tbem haa not as yet been de veloped, or their location haa been unfortunate In regard to aecurlng business.

Jobbers of buggies and light vebtclea In tha west ara congratulating tuemselvee upon the action of the Western and Central Classification bureaus In tbs matter of ratea upon car lots between tbe. east and the west About a year ago members of ths Central bureau proposed a change in the classification which would provide a mini mum load for cars of certain dimensions, the cars, whether carrying that weight or not, to cost the shipper the aame amount for transportation, and care ot larger di mension carrying tba aame weight to be charged at a higher rats than care ot smaller size. This rule would have worked a hardship upon Jobbers of buggies and similar goods, as no car will approximate tbe minimum woigbt when loaded as full as possible with such goods. The result would have been a practical Increase of from 10 to 20 per cent in freight ratea be tween tha factoriea and tha Missouri river. At a meeting of tho Classification bureau ot the Central district laat winter tha new classification was adopted, but Immediately there were so many protests from shippers that ths roads to ths agreement decided to auapend the operation of tbe new rule until July 1. At the meeting of the Western Classification bureau at New Orleans shortly after tbs meeting of ths Central bureau tbe aame plan received the aupport ot a majority ot tbe membere of the association, but because of tbe action of tbe Central bursas In auspendlng the operation until July 1 the rule waa not formally adopted.
