Its DAYS Numbered,

The Western passenger association will
soon be thing of the past, and all business
of the passenger departments heretofore
managed by this assertion will be managed
and controlled by the Western traffic asso-
citation. The causes for this move are
many, but primarily it is the result of the
Altou's refusal to longer recognize the asso-
citation or its authority, but really the prime
cause of the trouble is the attitude of the
Maple Leaf. From President Egan down
to trackman every employee of the Maple
Leaf is a ruStler for business. and though
the road has been handicapped by the asso-
citation from the time it opened its line for
traffic to the present. this opposition has de-
veloped strong fighting qualities in its
traffic men. After 4 long struggle, it sue
ceeded in getting into Kansas City, but
here association roads managed to keep it
out of the Union depot. The Maple Leaf at
once issued coupon tickets, transferring
passengers to and from the Union depot to
its depot free OF charge, thus reducing to a
considerable extent the great advantage the
other roads had over it in point of
Union depot facilities. Now the road is
called down by Chairman Finley on the
ground that it is using undue influence to
secure business. and was ordered to desist.
Traffic Manager Busenbark's capillary
adornment is somewhat of an auburn tinge
and to this demand he responded the chair
man and his association could go to the
tropics; that the Maple Leaf proposed to
see that its passengers were given equal
facilities with those of other lines, and its
withdrawal is now in order. This trans
ferring of the business of the Western pas
senger association to the Western traffic as
sociation means that the passenger rates
and movements will hereafter De directly
under the eye and immediate supervision of
the presidents of the roads. 1t is thought
this combination of the associated roads
will have the effect Of enabling them to
more successfully resist the fight of the
Maple Leaf and Alton. As the Santa Fe is
the short line between Kansas City and
Chicago, it would apparently make the rate,
but this will probably be done by the Maple
Leaf or the Alton hereafter. Busenoark
carries sharp knife, and he does not hest
tate to use 1t.

Dir LcckYIl and M. HYDE.

Charles Berry. assistant general freight
agent of the Maple Leaf, is q modest young
man, says the Kansas City Times gossiper,
who never knows where to put his hands
when in the presence of ladies.
He is as bashful as an eight-year-old girl,
but with it all is good-heartcd and con.
stantly anxious to please. The other day
he was coming down over the Missouri
Pacific and, as the train was nearing Atchi-
son, his attention was drawn to woman
with six small children trying to get out of
their seats. The woman had loaded herself
down with bundles and was getting the
children III line.
Stand around there, Johnnie, . she said,
and the moment Johnnie got around, the
other five We're all wrong. Mr.. Berry hest
tated moment then went forward in the
line of duty.

you to alight.

Then he looked up. Coming out of:theother

notice of the appointment of G. A. Knis-
kern as assistant general passenger agent
OF the road with headquarters in Chicago.
Mr.. kniskern was chief clerk to General
Passenger Agent A H. Hanson previous to
his promotion.
1.-The Canadian government has received in
formation that owing to the great promise
of the crops in Manitoba and the North
west, the Canadian Pacific railway COM
pany has ordered fifty new locomotives
and 1900 box cars TO transport the seasons
harvest to the seabord. 1t is estimated
that it will require ten trains daily for
seven months to transport the crop.
A company has been organized 10 manu-
facture an extension car step, recently pat
ented by Michigan man. The step is an
ingenious continuance, which it is expected
will do away with the necessity of carrying
foot-stools with each car as a means of
alighting from or entering ear. The de-
vice consists of an extension step under the
ordinary steps of cars. While the train is
in motion this extra step is folded out of
the way beneath the lower step of the plat
form stair, and is concealed frow view
When the car is at rest the step can be let
down to u point within sixteen inches of
the ground.
The travelling passenger agents associa-
ton will hold their annual meeting at the
Inn, Lookout Mountain, on Tuesday, Aug
ust Is. Extensive arrangements are being
made to entertain the visitors. \ novel
feature will be the presentation by the man
ufacturers and business men of Chattanooga
of handsome souvenirs. No effort will be
spared by the local committee of that city
and by the citizens to see that the visitors

The Memphis is not 4 member of the
Trans-MissOuri passenger association and
does not care Il picayune for the wishes or
desires of other roads. The latest move is
to put on tourist rates to Florida from Kan
sas City These excursions are one fare
for the round trip and the dates are
the same as those on the roads run
nlng south from St. Louis, viz. Sept. 9
and %, Oct n and IS and Nov II and %.
The Memphis does not run to Texas, hence
no cheap excursions are being run from
Missouri river points to Texas The Santa
F'e is more of Kansas than 4 Texas road
and the Atchison end of the concern is
handicapping the Gulf end i'll the latter 5
effort to build up the state. The Cotton
Belt belongs TO Gould, who don't want Texas
developed. And the same is true of the
Iron Mountain. so the only hope Texas can
have of securing some of these benefits is
through the action of the Katy. CASTOR
Meslier generally gets what he wants from
the other roads and if ne decides to run ex-
cursions to Texas on these dates there is
little doubt his eastern connections will
make the same rate.

gives equal justice to all shippers, unless
possibly it be that the heavy shipper
must pay the same as the small

in this case, the roads will not be seriously
