RAILROAD NEWS.
Statistics OF Railroad Building
In 1889 Are, Complete.
Show 4,5OO Miles of Track
Built Since January 1.
BEST In NINE YEARS.
Not Since 1890 We're tka Rail-
roads as Active.
Majority Of Building Done by
Old Established Lines.

The Railway Age has made a very
complete canvass Of the country, in
Guiding every state in the Union. and
while the returns are not yet all in. the
reports show that more miles Of new
railroad have been built during 1899
than in any previous year since 1S9U,
when s. $40 miles If line were completed.
Since January L last, no less than 4 800
miles of track have been laid in Lhe
United States on Sl2 lines in Al states
and territories.
Early last spring. when it was aDpar-
ent that q very pronounced revival IN
railway building had set in, ii seemed
certain that before the close of the year
5000 miles or more Of new road would
be completed. Many important extern
siOns had already been undertaken or
We're being planned by large systems in
the west and south, and for the first
time in a number of years railway con
tractors found their services in great
demand. W 0Tk was SO abundant and
contractors were so unpTepared for
such q rush that The price of grading
began rapidly to advance This was
followed by an almost unparalleled de
maud for labor, and wages soon in
creased TO the point where it became
necessary for contractors to figure very
carefully before obligating themselves
to complete a piece of work in 4 given
time. Before the summer had fairly
set in The demand for labor was far
greater than the supply, and offers of
81 and $3.50 per day failed to obtain
the men desired.
Then the price of All kinds of material
used in the construC tion OF a new rail-
road began to go up, and the advance
was so rapid that a. great many small
roads, on some of which a good
deal of grading had been done,
had to be laid aside-not aban-
doned, but pOstponed-untn prices re-
ceded to the point where the work could
be carried on at less expense.
Consequently, it is not surprising that
the predictions Of the early spring have
not been realized. Taken in connection
with the vast amount of work that has
been done in the way of improvements
TO roadway and track-a work which
| perhaps never reached such proportions
! in any previous year-it seems remark
able that so much has been accOmp-
IShed in new building.

CHEAP SERVICE MAY 90.
Present Rate War May Result In
Abandonment of Through
Tourist Cars.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-Tourist sleeping
car service between Boston and the Pa
cific coast via Chicago may be aban-
dOned entirely unless the peculiar rate
war in which the lines in this territory
have become involved is settled within
a week or ten days.
For years the railroads running west
from Boston and Chicago have main
tanned what is known as a tourist sleep
ing car system. The cars are run from
Boston to Chicago, where a change is
roads from this city. In these sleeping
cars second class or tourist tickets are
accepted. The excursions are run two
or three times a week and the business
has grown to large and profitable di-
mensiOns.
Out of Boston are two classes of
roads, a differential or low fare and a
standard. The former class is made up
of the Boston and Maine and the Fitch
burg roads, while the Boston and Al
bany, being a Vanderbilt line, is the
sole representative of the standard
class
The Boston and Albany business is
taken west from Chicago by the Mil
waukee and St. Paul, the Rock Island,
the Burlington and the Northwestern,
while the Santa Fe and Alton take care
of the traffic from the Boston and Maine
and the Fitchburg lines. A few weeks
ago the two diferential lines out of
Boston began to reduce the tourist rate
These cuts continued until the second
class rate from the hub to Pacific
coast points via Chicago was brought
down to S49.50 or SO lower than the sec
Ond-claSs fare from Chicago to the same
Pacific coast points. Yesterday the two
weak lines from Boston announced q
further cut of S2-35 in this rate, bringing
it down to $4715. This makes it posi-
BILE for a person in Boston to buy q
| ticket to the Pacific coast for $535 less
| than he could buy a similar ticket from
| Chicago to the same point on the Pa
! CiflC coast.

WANTS BIG DAMAGES.
Mrs. Susie Cadwalader Sues Wichite
For Bad Sidewalk Injuries.

Wichita, Dec. SO.-Mrs. Susie Cad
walader yesterday, through her attor-
neys. Stanley &. Stanley, fled her claim
against the city for damages, estimated
and claimed by the petition at S10,12O.
She alleges that the sidewalk on South
Lawrence avenue at about 1921, being
in front of Mr.. E. Hutchins, was in a
bad and dangerous condition and that
on or about the 18th day of March, 1899,
Mrs. Calwalader, while travelling on the
said sidewalk Of Lawrence avenue, her
foot caught in a broken board and she
was violently thrown to the ground. It
is alleged that she was greatly injured
in the head, limbs, body, womb and
other internal injuries, and that these
injuries are permanent and have been
very painful.

little railway building for the the years
previous to 1899, stands at the head of
the list with $50 miles of new road The
work in this state has been remarkable
and has been carried on almost eXcIuS-
lively in the interest of large systems,
such as the Chicago & Northwestern,
Illinois Central Chicago Milwaukee &

Chicago & Northwestern has built 35115

Rock Island May Attempt to Secure
Rich TerriterY Exclusively.

Oklahoma City. Dec. 30.-Something of
a sensation has developed recently in the
railroad situation in Oklahoma caused by
the evident determination OF the Missouri
Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific system to occupy the territory
north of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf
and west of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe. A few weeks since grading was
begun a line from Kiowa- Kansas, TO
Augusta, o. T. 1t was believed by the
behind the enterprise. Quite recently
graders have been put to work on line
from Augusta to Kingfisher and this line
is also credited to the Missouri Pacific
The theory is that the Missouri Pacific
wants an entrance to Oklahoma City and
is determined to secure it before the Rock
Island can occupy the field. The Rock
island has recently withdrawn its force
of graders from the proposed kinghsher-
Guthrie line and there is good reason to

EAT BUFFALO MEAT.
Wichita Citizens Dine on Bison Steak
at So Per Pound.

Wichita, Dec.30.-A few people in this
city are having the privilege of eating
buffalo steaks, which have been in cold
ago last November Charles Payne kill
ed a large buffalo at the Dold Packing
ocmpany's plant. Part of the meat was
sold and. some distributed among Mr.
Payne's friends. The rest was placed
in cold storage at Mr.. Dold plant,
while some parts of it was corned.
Yesterday Mr.. Payne called at the
plant and obtained a quantity of it and
there still remains in cold storage a
considerable part of the animal.
The remainder of the buffalo meat a t
the packing house will either be sold
or held until those in charge of it de-
sire to eat it. 1t is now valued at 81
a pound This is probably the last buff
falo meat which will ever be obtained
for eating purposes.

NEW SANTA FE COMPETITOR.
Capitalists Propose to Build Another
Pacific Coast Line.

Chicago. Dec. 30.-The Record says: An
other railroad to the Pacific coast is a
strong probability. Several eastern CAPT
talists and promoters have been in this
city for two or three days and It is said
that they are considering plans for the
construction of such line. Among them
is Warner Miller, and he has admitted
that his business in Chicago at this time
IS in connection with traffic matters and
a new western railway
1t is said that a line from Salt Lake
City to Los Angeles, Cal, is In mind and
that the building Of it practically has
been decided upon The plan is
to construct almost direct to the Cali
fornia city, traversing the most fertile
and encouraging portion of western Utah
and the sOuthernmOst part of Nevada.
1t is said that among the capitalists in
terested are men prominently connected
with western and southern railways.
