AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
The Atchi.on Slabs IL. Competitors.

CHICAGO, Aug. Wv. L. White. traffic
manager of the Atchison. Topeka d Santa
Fe, has written q letter to Chairman
Midgley. of the Western Freight AssOcia-
tion, in which he says that. "a year ago,
when the road opened its Chicago line for
traffic. it was thought best, pending
the action of other roads. not to put In
effect the policy adopted by nearly all OF
its competitors, j. O., to make through rates
to Chicago exclusively by its own line but
to continue its through rates and divisions
with other lines east of Kansas City. In
view, however. of reductions recently
made in the rates ON live stock from points
west of Kansas City TO Chicago ana ot.
Louis on a lower basis than these at present
in effect, it becomes necessary Tor this
company, in protection of its own inter
ests, to change its policy above re-
ferred to in so far as hye stock
traffic to Chicago is concerned, and to
adopt the policy in effect on the lines of
most if not all It's competitors viz, to make
its through rates on live stock from all
parts of its system to Chicago over its own
line only. This plan VIII be adopted IN the
issue of the new tariff, which is now under
consideration, and which Is made necessary
by the reduction in the Kansas City-Chi-
cago rates on live stock made effective
few days since"
Santa Fe, If it carries out the above threat,
will cut off not only the Alton but the st.
Paul and Wabash from all participation in
its business originating west of Kansas
City, except it is taken after paying full
local rates to Kansas City. thereby ma
teria!ly lowering the former Kansas City
Chicago proportion on this business. 1t is
an exact duplicate of the stand taken by
the Rock Island.
Speaking of this matter General Manager
Chappell. of the Alton, said to-day: THE
Alton joined the Western Frei ght Associa,
ton under the stipulation that 1T should
share in Kansas City in all business orig
mating west of there. This stipulatlonwas
made especially in reference to business
coming in on the Atchison, as at that time
it did the bulk of the business. The stlpu-
-lation applied only as general principle:
the Rock Island, at the time of our joining
the association. did little business west of
Kansas City. Owing to this stipulation, the
issuance of the threatened tariff by the
Atchison practically sewers our connection
with the association. We shall certainly
withdraw as soon as the tariff is issued"

Slice Of the State Boom.
Syec.ai C5Tesp0ndeacs Of ne Regts,sr.
LUlBBRPoRT. October 23-The outside
world rarely ever hears from this part of
the State, though to know the resources
which nature has provided and which ex-
ist here is but to realize more fully the
bOundless wealth OF our mountain State.
Here on the waters Of Ten Mile aud Bing-
anon and other smaller streams lie thou
sands Of sores Of the best Of coal, whose
quality, until recently, for fdel coke and
gas purposes was not known. The Cam
den syndicate has bought up nearly all
the front OF the coal, and before another
year has gone this valley will be ab'sze
with ovens which will bring prosperity 10
all the people. And, as if coal we're not
sufficient, nature has placed great rsser-
vOirs Of OIL in the earth, and Judging from
the activity among oil men, It Will not be
very long before the country will be pOur-
ing ont the volatile substance. Since the
Warrington well came Ia oil men have
been securing the country day and
night, Offering fabulous prices
for leases - some Offering one
fourth and a rental of one dollar-Others
taking options Of the land at 500 per
acre. IL seems TO be agreed by experts
that Ne are right in The line OF the oil belt,
and yOur correspondent sits within
stones throw of Whites line just q
mile and half from here, on Cunning
hams Kun, they are drilling a well, and
have reached 4 depth of 500 feet, having
found an unparalleled Gas Gusher," ~
Really, the sight ia magnificent, Tesem-
bling more an electric light than burning
gas. For miles arourd the light can be
seen sitter dark, so the D, ople oE the hills
and those living near the well need -
light, neither lamp mol candle, for the gas
we'll is the light thereof We have OH
here snd IN abundance, as will be demon
strsttd some OF These days.
A half dozen or more companies sre IN

trict within the next ten months. Surely
the days of prosperity are dawning, and
the cry has gone forth, 'Lat FER 20 Gal
