COMMF R THE _OMAHA DAILY BER: SARURDAY, DECEMBER ¢ HAVOC WITH LOCAL RATES Bituation that Might Be Oaused by Separate Receiver for the 8hort Line, HARVEST FCR WESTERN TICKET SCALPERS Figures Showing How a Merry Game of See-Saw Could Be Worked on All the Loeal Business of the Great Northwest, In connection with the application of the American Loan and Trust company of New York for a separate receiver for the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern and opening the gateways, Ogden and Silver Bow, for passenger and freight business, there s some mighty Interesting Information to be galned from figures in the possession of The Bee, and it gives a clear insight as to the probable #ituation of the Short Line should the appli- cation of the American Loan and Trust com pany prove successful, The prevalling rates from Kansas City and Omaha to Portland and Puget sound points are $35, second class. These rates run ind criminately through the common points al- luded to. The first class rate Is $45 from Missourl river points to Pacific coast points and run indiscriminately through Colorado and Utah common points. With the low rates on Pacific coast business which have been in effect, it is Impossible to open the Ogden gateway and protect local rates on the Short Line, The entire proportion west of Ogden on Pacific const tickets which can accrue to any line or lines is 63.1 per cent. In case of the Short Line this proportion has to be divided with the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation company from Huntington. This sec ond division would give the Short Line any where from §9 to $11, while the local rate from Ogden to Huntington fs $21.80, or from Ogden to Portland $35. Consequently it is impossible to maintain the local rates of $21.80 from Ogden to Huntington A passenger who desired to go to Ogden or Salt Lake would buy a ticket to Portland under these conditions, and on arrival at Salt Lake or Ogden sell it for anywhere from $10 10 $16. The ticket thus sold by the passenger would be used and resold to a local passenge going to Portland or any other point beyond Huntington. The limitations on Pac fic coast tickets even as close as twenty-four ho beyond schedule train time affords the broker or middle man sufficient opportunity to resell the tickets to local passengers who are going back and forth between local points daily. As regards the Silver Bow gateway, which takes in Garrison on the line of the Northern Pacific for business to Portland and Pu sound points, and also Helena on the line of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern for St. Paul business and business through St. Paul to Chicago and other eastern points, the scalp on through tickets would be even more than via Huntington, because the Northern Pacific on business to points west of Garri- £on on account of longer mileage would more in division than the Navigation com- pany. In that case the Short Line proportion between Ogden and Silver Bow would be at best $2 to $3 lower than the through propor- tion they would get on tickets via Hunting- ton. It 'is safe to eay, therefore, the propor- tlon via Garrison would run from $6 to $§ againat a local rate from Ogden to Garrison of $20.50. On eastbound business from Ogden and Utah common points via Silver Bow and He- lena the lines east of Helena would want a large division of through rates in order to protect their local business between Helena and St. Paul, and on a first class ratd of $37.50 from Provo, Utah, which Is a com- mon Utah point south of Ogden, the through rate of $37.50 would be. whittled down to €omething like the following: The St..Paul and Chicago lines would at least expect their arbitrary of about $11, and out of the $26.50 remaining tho lines east of Silver Bow would expect about §21, there belng an arbitrary of $6.35 between Silver Bow and Helena, which would leave for the Short Line, Provo to Silver Bow, about $6.50, against a local rate of $21.65. And it would be safe to say that under these circumstances the local business between Utah and Montana points would have to be done by the Short Line for about $5. What s true of business westbound to Utah, Montana and Pacific coast points and east- bound out of Utah to St. Paul and eastern points would apply with the same, if not greater, force -an business in the opposite direction. For example, the local business done from local points in Oregon, Washing- ton, Montana and Idaho destined to local points in Utah would be ticketed on through tickets destined to Kansas City, Omaha, St Louis and Chicago. And the local business from Montana to local points in Utah would be ticketed on through tickets from St. Paul to Ogden, Salt Lake, Provo and other Utah points. It would also be as hard to maintain local rates in Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska on account of the eastbound through tickets as it would be to maintain local rates in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, Therefore, if the Short Line should insist upon opening up these intermediate gateways it would be at the utter sacrifice of the local rates. It will be remembered that these Inter- national gateways were open three years ago fand had to be closed in order to protect the local interests of the Short Line, Utah North- ern and Union Pacific, the competition for the through business via these intermediate gate- Wways when they were open belng so strong that it was impossible to protect the local business centering at these intermedlate gate- ways. The freight situation 15 about the same, because while ono cannot scalp local freight business on through bills of lading as on local passenger business on through tickets, one would have to pay out a large amount Of money for mileage on through freight cars while the Short Line cars would be lying on the side tracks, idle or else assume the ex- pense of breaking bulk and reloading the freight into Short Line cars. It will be clearly seen that should the trustees of the consolidated bonds of the Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern be successtul In the ap- pointment of a separate receiver the Short Line at that moment would be at the mercy of every transcontinental road entering its territory. ™ R TROUBLE FOR NOTRING, Atchison-Southera Pacific Dificulty Likely to Kill the Transcontinental Assoclation, CHICAGO, Dee. 28.—The western roads have suddenly ran up against a snag in the formation of the Transcontinental Passenger assoclation that bids fair to upset the whole thing. When the plan of forming an asso- clation was broached, the Atchison road dis- tinetly declared that it would not and could not be & party to such an association until its troubles with the Southern Pacific were settled. These troubles came about because of the announcement of the Southern Pa- olfic that it was going to charge the Atchi- son local rates on all through business for Ban Francisco which passed through Los Angele There were other side {ssues in dispute, such as the rates via San Diego and Mojave, but the Los Angeles-San Francisco TOW was the principal thing. Recelyer Walker, of the Atchison, went to New York and, after a meeting between him and C, P. Huntington, it was announced that the roads had settled all thelr difterences and that the ‘Atehison would be willing to go into an at- tempt (o revive the old 'Transcontinental Passenger association. The Southern Pa- cifio was, of all the transcontinental roads, the most anxlous to form such an assoclation, Despite the report that the two roads had reached an agreement, nothing has been dons toward & settlement of their difficulties, be- yond the agreement between Messrs. Walker and Huntington, Third Vice President Stubbs, of the South- ern Pacific, has now caused it o be under stood that the Southern Pacific will not fulfill the agreement reached by the two highest officlals of the two roads. If the Southern Pacific takes thix stand, it sounds the death- knell of the Transcontinental association, for the Atchison will enter into no agreement whilo It business between Los Angeles and San Franclsco is lable to serlous Juterruption by the Southern Paclfic at any time the lat- ter may choose to cause trouble. In addition to this trouble, which has coms up very suddenly, the Union Pacific has de- yed the formation of the agreement by slsting that the boycott on its through bus- iness be removed. The general meeting of the lines was \o have taken up this mat- ter with the Union Pacifictomorro General Passenger Agent Lomax, of the Union Pacific, cannot be in Chicago before Wednesday of next week, so that no agree- ment can be reached until then, W.

Injunction Prevents Awarding the Con- tract for Sherman Avenune Paving. The plans of the friends of Hugh Murphy to get the contract for paving Sherman avenue through the council last night were overturned by a second injunction, which was applied for in the district court at noon yes terday. General Cowin, representing William F. Sweezy, appeared before Judge Scott and applied for an injunction restraining the Board of Public Works, the city council and Hugh Murphy from entering into, the pros. pective contract on the ground that the pro- posed document did not designate the sort of material that had been selected by the | property owners, and that if the contract was executed, material would be used which was undesirable and inferior to that desig- nated by the petition. Judge Scott grantea a temporary restraining order, and the case was set for hearing on January 28, The effect of this restraining order will be to postpone action on the Sherman avenue matter until after the new council gets into office. The other contractors are highly elated. Tt is now believed that all bids will be rejected and that the board will be in- structed to readvertise. suits at maj clearing for MORSE The members of the board had decided to approve the contract with Mr. Murphy at $2.07 at the regular meeting yesterday. Just before the hour of meeting~ Attorney McHugh appeared and notified the members of the impending injunction, and half an hour after a deputy sheriff served the sum- mons. No action was therefore taken by the board in regard to the contract, and it will be'held until the decision of the court has been recelved. ———— Ask for n New Park.

In the equity court Judge Ferguson was busy yesterday listening to the evidence and arguments presented in the case of A. P, Tukey against the city of Omaha, enjoining the city of Omaha from using Jefferson square as a market house and auditorium site, The evidence brought out in the case, by the examination of witnesses, shows that an ordinance was passed in 1865, forever dedicating to the public, the piece of land known as Jefferson square and park. Mr. Andrew Rosewater testified that the park had been used for school purposes at one time, and later on had been used for circuses and a ball park. He also testified that the land dedicated to the city known as Washington park, lying between Fifteenth and _Sixteenth - and Douglas and Farnam streets, which had been dedicated and shown in the original plat, had been put to private use. Also an extensive strip of land lying between Eighth and Ninth streets and south of Davenport, had been acquired for private purposes.
