Bakinu Powder hostilities.

Missouri has thirty companies that
manufacture baking powders. Last
winter, it is alleged, an eastern firm had
a bill introduced in the Missouri legis-
lature prohibiting the sale of baking
powders containing alum. The thirty
manufacturers have now issued a circu-
lar to the trade admitting that all of
them use alum, but claiming that it is
entirely innocent of the crimes charged
to it in the advertisements of baking
powders. The only substitute they could
use for alum is controlled by a monop-
oily, they assert, which maintains pro-
hibitive prices. They also allege that
the cheap powders are as good as those
hat sell for double prices. In conclu-
sion the thirty firms announce that the
law is unconstitutional, and they will
keep on selling alum powders and will
pay the fines of any customers convict
ed of selling the product. They will also
resist any effort of the pure food COM
mission to confiscate the stock on hand,
valued at 81, 500, 900. Missouri country
editors may all be able to go to the
Paris show If this thing keeps up.

Railway REGULATION,

In a speech in Chicago a few days ago
Paul Morton, vice president of the San
ia Fe Railway Company, expressed a
desire to have all railway regulation
under government control. The lack of
uniformity of regulations by states and
the constant and radical changes keep
the railway companies in a condition of
apprehension. Often assaults and
threats by legislatures doing politics
depreciate the value of railway securi-
ties and hinder investments in railway
properties. Not infrequently the fear
Of radical and unjust laws prevents the
building of new lines that would bene-
fit the country.
The proposition so often discussed of
government purchase and ownership of
all railroad lines may never be realized,
but government regulation is possible,
since such an able official of so extern
sive and wealthy a corporation as the
Santa Fe company is an advocate of
the policy. Indeed, there are said to be
but few railway men who would not
sanction it. With the railways out of
politics in the various states, and they
are in only to protect their interests
from inimical legislation and official
impositions, there would be less of cor
ruption and obstruction in the conduct
of, public affairs.
The charge is often made in states
having railroad commissions that the
commissioners are elected by railway
influence, or as antagonists Of the rail-
and that either the people or the
railways are denied justice. frequently
1t is stated that commissioners are
bribed not to lower rates. Appeals to
courts and setting aside the action of
commission occur often.
The establishment Of an interstate
commerce commission has, to a certain

Ell Paso is awakening. This week tn

Ell Paso is awakening. This week the
city council ordered a fire-alarm system
constructed at a cost of $6, 200. Santa Fe
led in this instance by contracting for
a similar system last week. Ell Paso
has to pay out cash. Santa Fe secures
a system without the expenditure of a
cent, the telephone company giving the
outfit and maintaining it during twenty
years for a franchise for the telephone
business. The capital city now has in
prospect an electric railway proposition
to operate here and on a line thirty-five
miles long to Bland. In fact, the enter
prise has advanced to a further stage
than an electric railway scheme in Ell
Paso, which still adheres to the candle
box cars of early days.

The Coming Vehicle.

The automobile vehicle has come to
stay. 1t is gradually being adopted for
freight purposes in cities and is used
Upon the highways for pleasure. I'M
provements being made in construction
are adapting it to country travel where
firm roads can be found which do not
have holes. 1t a generally be stated
that an automobile can travel on a sur
face which a bicycle can pass over. The
high price of the vehicles will be re-
duced by competition of manufacture
ers, as has been the case with all other
vehicles. Within a few years automo-
biles will be seen even in New Mexico
upon the firm mountain roads, and may
in some cases take the place of passen-
ger and mail stages. The government
has already put a few into service in
place of carts for gathering mail from
suburban letter boxes and postoffices.
The existing demand for this means of
conveyance both for passengers and
for merchandise, is, for a new industry,
far beyond all former experience. Buy
els dlt uIHeu away NY Lie l. CuS'
The facilities for production bear little
or no relation to the demand.
To-day there are four systems in OPP
Grafton. Each claims advantages of it's
own. The electric system requires the
carrying of storage batteries on the
wagon weighing, say, 1000 pounds for
four horsepower and 10000 pounds for
twenty horsepower. These storage Dat
teries require stations where they can
be recharged, and economy in recharg-
ing requires as much time for recharg-
ing as was used in discharging in the
operation of the carriage.
The compressed air system in opera
ton claims half the cost of the electric,
but about the same cost for original In
stallation of the plant. This system al
so necessitates the carrying of heavy
weight in the shape of steel cylinders
containing air compressed at 2,40O
pounds to the square inch. Also, sta
tons must be convenient for renewing
the compressed air.
The oil system may be in the shape of
oil burned to create steam, the steam to
operate a small steam engine: or, oil
may be mingled with air and there be
injected into a motors cylinder, where
it is exploded by means Of an electric
spark, causing the piston to nov to
and fro.
The gasoline system mixes the gaso-
line with air, nine parts of al: to n
part gasoline, which forms a gas. This
gas is exploded by a Jump spark" in
the motor cylinder, causing the piston
to o
In either of the four systems here
briefly outlined, sometimes one motor
and sometimes two motors are used to
each vehicle.
The common claim Of economy in the
use of a horseless wagon is one-fourth
the cost of the use of horses, for the
same load. Some claim ever greater
economy than that.

Of raising corn and the selling price at
twenty cents is not at all unsatisfactory

will be several times greater on this
enormous crop than the value the Klon-

wheat, hay, oats, beets, butter, eggs,
apples, poultry, live stock, etc, and the
sum total that will be paid to Nebras-
ka farmers this year is astounding.

Nebraska's Income for a Year.

Nebraska will have 300, 600, 900 bushels
of corn this year. AT ten cents per BUSH
ell this would bring a revenue of $780,
900, 900 if all sold. Of course, that used
by farmers and for stock feeding is con-
from 20 to rs cents per bushel. Ten cents
is the low-water mark, and is not likely
ever to be reached again, as the price of
corn, especially since the feeding bust
ness has grown to such proportions, and
as the farmers themselves are now able
to go into the market and purchase
cattle and hogs for fattening. 1t is not
a wild estimate to count that the corn
crop sold and utilized will bring twenty

INCREASED CAPITALIZATION OF
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.

Following the Plan of Central Pacific
Reorganization and its Consolidation
with Southern Pacific-Stock will be
Exchanged.
San Francisco, July 27.-At a
meeting of the shareholders of the
Southern Pacific company held here
today, there was an affirmative vote
upon the proposition to increase the
compauy's capital stock from $3.50,
100000 to 5000, 900, 900. At the
meeting 96,500 shares were repre-
sented, more than the necessary
two thirds.
The decision to increase the cap
ital stock was approved, as it was a
part of the scheme for the financial
reorganization of the Central Pacific
and it's consolidation with the South
ern Pacific. The stockholders ot
the Central Pacific are to surrender
their stock into the Southern Pacific
treasury, and they will receive an
equal amount of Southern Pacific
share for share.
The Central Pacific stockholders
will receive as bonus for the ex
change, certain amount of South
ern Pacific gold bonds, approximate
ly $18, 100000 For issuing the lat
ter the Southern Pacific in turn get
besides Central Pacific commol

WHAT RAlLRoAoERs THINK.
Great Interest in Story of Southern
Pacific plans.

Great interest in Story of Southern
Pacific plans.
Opinion is divided as to results
that would be derived by the South
ern Paci6c's building to Salt Lake.
There is no dissenting voice along
Railroad Row, that this city has long
been an objective point of the big
system, and that the time is now
ripe for the building of the road.
The only difference of opinion is
on the route. Some say the thirty
seven-mile line from Ogden would
accomplish what the Southern Paci-
fic is after-an entrance to Salt Lake
which would give it a new hold on
the local situation and give it at
once a thirty-seven-mile haul on pas
sengers and freight from the Short
Line and Rio Grande Western.
This in addition to any matters OF
future connections.
On the other hand, wsll-posted
railroaders say the line via the south
shore would be the best for South.
ern Pacific. It would cut off the
line to Sacramento fifty or sixty
miles and save the Kelton and Prom
ontory grades.
Railroad men generally believe
that the company is preparing fol
some big move, but the local repre-
sentatives are maintaining the stric
secrecy that characterized their frs
movements. Tribune.
