Show et RATE WAR imminent. The Santa Fe's Cat Is the Cause of It Railway Rail-way Notes. The cut of the Santa Fe, making a $13 rate from Chicago to Denver for the Conclave, Con-clave, has staggered the other lines. Mr. Vallery, the general agent of the Burlington at Denver, says: ''Unless we are released by the association we cannot meet the cut, though if applications applica-tions were made such release would probably proba-bly be granted. It may be that the Burlington Burl-ington will meet the rate and it may be that it will consider that it has too much valuable valua-ble traffic west of the Missouri to apply a Tate, which would -necessarily go into effect for other points thau Chicago." O. A. Tripp, general agent of the Missouri Pacific at Denver, says: "As the rate is from Chicago it may not affect us, but if it must apply to all points west of Chicago then the roads will have to meet the cut or turn the business over to the Santa Fe, in which event that corporation might find H difficult to secure car for its business. In any event it means the flooding of the city and state with thousands of people without a mo. ment's warning to prepare for it. Passengers Passen-gers cannot be carried at a profit at the rate made. I think it will have the effect of bringing in an undesirable class of people, migratory laborers and others who jump at a cheap rate to go somewhere else." The general impression in railway circles Is that a big rate war is imminent, and that it will extend clear to the Pacific coast. It is claimed that the next move will be an attack at-tack upon Santa Fe territory, in such places as it is most vulnerable. KNIGHTS TO KANSAS CITY. Itinerary of the Trip to be Made in August Next.

About 500 people from Ogden and points north came down on the Union Pacific. It was Judge C. O. Stackslayer who was shot near Hailey by Judge Thurston, the Union Pacific attorney, a few days ago. A gang of Rio Grande Western surveyors left silver City this week to run another line to Deep Creek. It looks like as if the company com-pany really means to build the road on from Silver City to the Nevada line. Tintic 'runk lines are frightened at the eastern rate demoralization that has followed the Christian EndeaTor traffic, and it is said that at the next meeting of the passensrer committee a resolution will be introduced to discontinue special rates for societies to any commercial city. ,It is reported at Boston that the Burlington Burling-ton has, by order of its directors, notified the Western Traffic association that it will in October withdraw from the association if the four-fifths rule is not adopted by that time. President Roswell Miller said yesterday yes-terday that he bad received no communication communica-tion from the Burlington since the New York meeting. . . |
