EFFECT OF NEW RATES AGAINST CMAHA Local drain Man hows Slsty Vt-r Csitt of Shipment fiotna to St. Louis Despite irfomrnt ol lioulil ttfflrlali. GET SUBSCRIPTIONS STARTED Auditorium Directors Pronioto Ifaas for Active CampmlxB to Hals Final Balaace. Auditorium directors met yesterday In the Hoard of Trade building and compared results of the canvas for $1 BuhBcrlpUoni which was Ix-gTJn early In the week. The members eiweesod themselves as well pleased with the showing. Monday the publiration of subscribers to this IJO.00O will be begun and an active campaign to raise this last sum of new stock needed for the building. Oraln rates In Nebraska and Kansas again have suffered a r -lapse. The Mis souri Pacific Is the latest line to Mir up trouble for almost everyone concerned. The trouble Is caused by that line serving notice that It Intends to haul grain from all Interior points on Its line In Kaunas and Nebraska to tho St. Louis market for S cents per l'O ixmnds loss than the exist ing rates from the samo points to Chicago. As a result of this announcement the Burlington has nerved notice that It will take the same action. The new rates mnd public! by theso two lines mean that jrrnln will be hauled from Missouri river points to St. Louis at 1 cent per PO for wheat and nothing for corn. In other words, the local rates from Interior points to the Missouri river on corn have been made to apply to St. Louis and the same rates on wheat have been made to apply with 1 cent added. This action, It Is said, will have the effect of taking all grain which originates on the lines of the Missouri Pacific In Kansas and Nelwaska away from both Omaha and Kansna City, and will consequently be another blow to the local Oraln exchange. The same Is true of points on tho Hur llngton tributary to the two cities named, but the Hurllnjrtfpti hes gime only so far In following the lead of the Gould line as it was forced to do. That Is, It has only cut the rates to St. Iouls from points where It Is In competition with tho Mis souri rncltlc. Rates from all other sta tions hn.ve been allowed to remain as they were before the cut. Missouri Pacific's Excuse. The argument Is made by the Missouri Pacific in support of Its action that very little grain comes Into this city over Its rails under the most favorable circum stances, and that It Is considered not a feeder for this city, but an outlet. This Is said to be true, but the damage to Omaha does not arise from the cut made by the Missouri Paclflo alone, but from tfie effect of the cut upon the Burlington, which Is an Omaha feeder and which Is likewise compelled to make reductions. It Is contended by the Missouri Pacific that there has always been a B-cent differential existing between the fit. Louis and Chicago markets, and that this differential Is an equitable difference and should exist, but that, owing to the rate war which has been In effect between the east bound lines, this differential has been wiped out by tho Northwestern. This places the two cities on a parity, so far as grain, rates are concerned, and gives Chicago an unfair advantage. In speaking of this stand a local railroad man said: 'The Missouri Pacific might make thlB ar gument hold good were It not for the fact that notwithstanding the two cities are on an equality In rate the bulk of the grain has been going to St. Louis. During the past two months about IB per cent of Nebraska grain hus found a market In Chlcugo and about 60 per cent ' In St. Louis, and this, mind you, when no differ ential existed between the two places. If we were to take tho Missouri Paolflo as a basis wo would find that almost 100 per cent of the grain originating' on that line has gone to the St. Louis market during I the same period. From this It will be seen that there was no necessity for a cut In the rate to protect the Bt Louis market," Ilenrflt These Tivo Lines. In regard to the effect of the cut upon the Northwestern and Great Western this samo official said: "It will be a good thing for these two line, as It will divert some traffic from them which they might otherwise have to haul under the present rates to the east at a loss. Tho Great Western will be bene fited more than the Northwestern, for tho latter line Is getting Its local rates Into Omaha for the through haul, while the Oreat Western has to take It out of this city on Its proportionals of 4 and 3 cents in case the grain Is offered It, which every railroad man knows Is a money losing oireratlon." It la the opinion among railroad men that the Northwestern has reached the end of Its string in the rate war and that It will announce no further reductions In the through rates to the east. Traffic officials How are awaiting the next move with an expectant air and are hoping that some thing will ba done to secure a restoration and stop the loss. The Rook Island announces that It will meet tho last Great Western cut in the Chicago rates, effective March T. These rates are 4 cents on wheat and 3 cents on corn. The Kock Island is the first Una to tneet the out, which was made over a week ago. nm BOMI It lM-HASE MATE. X. W. Harris to.. Invest Heavily In St. l,oula (ins Property. ST. I.OUI8, Mo., March 4. The recent rumor that Chicago and New York banker! were negotiating for the purchase of a large block of Laclede Gas Light company of St. Louis bonds Is confirmed by the an nouncement that N. W. Harris & Co. of Chicago. New York and Boston have com pleted their Investigation and have pur chased in.nno.niio of the new Issue of refund ing and extension mortgage 6 per cent 80 ear bonds. The mortgage securing the bonds will authorize a total Issue of $30. vn,rin, of which $10,000,000 will be reserved to refund at maturity the present outstand ing bonds. The present capital stock of $11,000,000 will be increased by an author ized Issue of $9,000,000 additional, making the totnl authorised capital stock $:0,000.0n0. The Laclede Oas Light company does the entire gtis business of the city of St. Louis. Since the change In ownership the control pasolng to the North American company in April last the new management has added many thotisands to the number of consumers and has Installed over 20,000 new meters. To provide for this large Increase In business and to ennble the company to greatly extend its plant, expenditures of about $5.onn.ooo will be made by the com pany prior to February 1 of next year. The Lnclede Oas Light company has paid divi dends on both Its preferred and common stock for many years and It Is believed by the officials of the company that the earn ing power of the company will be greatly Increased by the expenditure above mentioned.

The Trans-MlsslsslppI Mutual Fire as sociation, one of the oldest mutual com panies doing a general Insurance business In the state, was organized by the business men of Omaha In 1X9H. At that time there were only two com panies doing a general Are Insurance busi ness In Nebraska: the Home Fire of Omaha and the Farmers and Merchants of Lincoln, and to those Interested 1n the organisation of this compnny It seemed an Imperative necessity that some other company should be organised to assist In carrying Insur ance for the business men of Nebraska, where the control and handling of the com pany would be In the hands of the Insurers and to a small extent keep the mony paid for Insurance In our own state. This company has met with uniform suc cess since the organization and has always been able to save the policy holders from B to !S per cent of their premium and pay all losses and expenses, and Is recognised today as one of the substantial institu tions of the state.
