Death to High Prices.

Kansas City bicycle dealers are ex-
pecting a sharp decrease in the prices
of wheels in the near fu ture as a result;
of a combination formed by the large
manufacturers of the east. 1t is said
they will try to freeze out the small
dealers around the country who are
making cheap wheels and lizing
prices. The combination, it is claimed,
will reduce prices of standard wheels
to such low figure that the cOmpetir Q
firms will be unable TO meet the reduc-
ton and will be forced to cease manu-
featuring.
Several loan agencies which make a
practice of advancing loans on wheels
have been notited by their eastern
representatives not to take bicycles as
q security for money loaned, stating
that the war of determination would
likely commence in the near future
and this would cause prices to drop
quickly.

For Mountain Climbing.

The two mammoth consolidated en-
gines which have been in the course of
construction at the Santa Fe shops in
Topeka, Kas., for the past four month 8
were turned out of the paint shops the
other day and one went on trial trip
to Argentine. AS soon as thoroughly
tested the engines will be sent to Raj
on, for service on the mountain divis-
ion of the Santa Fe.
The engines were built especially for
mountain service, and are two of the
largest locomotives ever constructed in
the west. They are of the consolid at
ed type, adapted for mountain climb
ing, and were built after the original
plans prepared by Superintendent of
Machinery John Player and other
members of the Santa Fe mechanical
department. Their construction was
in a sense an experiment., and if they
prove satisfactory in heavy mountain
service, number of similar engines
will be built.
With the exception of the engine
now pulling the ''plug" these are the
first engines to be built at the Santa
Fe shops in Topeka since the Player
engines were built several years ago.

EDHEM PASHA, who ranks as one o
