la. Some time ago Judge Kelligar placed
the older of the two children in the cus

sas City is 1 cent under the Kansas Clty
Memphls proportional under the equaliza
tion plan, the grain naturally goes by the
cut rate, and the 'Frisco's "equalization"
is noneffective.
It Is said but a small amount of grain,
in comparison with what the railroad peo
pfe expected to get, has gone to Kansas
City from what Is regarded aa Omaha's
territory. From . the time the 'Frisco a
plan went into effect, the Omaha grain
firms, determined to hold their own, paid
I to 8 centa more for grain than the mar
ket warranted, simply In order to hold
prestige and bring the grain througn
Omaha. They have handled large quanti
ties of grain without any profit.
The cut ratea will keep Omaha from
harm at the hands of the Rock Island
and "Frisco until August 10. when they
become noneffective. In the meantime
the boycott on the Rock Island by Omaha
merchants la In effect, and it la said the
road Is getting practically no business out
the city. The Oraln exchange and the
Commercial club promise to keep up the
light indefinitely unless the railroad comes
to terms by August 10.
