Chicago. Oct. 31.-No more passes nor
free transportation of any kind will be
accepted on the overland limited of the
Northwestern road. Officers of this line,
in connection with those of the Union Pa
cifc and Southern Pacific roads. over
which three lines the overland is OPP
Grated, have sent out notices that here
after nothing but paid tickets will be good
on the California limited-in other words,
that it IS to be strictly a revenue train
between Chicago and San Francisco and
vice versa
Officers of the three roads say that the
train is run at q high rate OF speed, nee
essitating a big expense, and that they
can not AFFORD to accept free tranSporta-

Gradually the western roads are follow

There is no reason why passes should
be taken on trains of extra speed, SAID
a veteran passenger agent 1hese limit
ed trains are really special affairs Their
schedules are cut down to the minimum
the best cars are put in them, and as a
general rule they cost the railroads con-
siderable extra money to operate them.
It has been my experience that the person
with pass always wants the best &C
cOmmOdattOnS and he protests II ne does
not get just as much service as he W no
pays full fare. If passes were accepted
on the limited trains those holding this
class of transportation would go on no
other trains. As a consequence persons
with f1rst-claSS tickets would be crowded
out and into less speedy trains
So far as can be learned the California
limited of the Santa Fe and the over
land limited of the Northwestern are the
only trains west of Chicago on which
will not be accepted.

POSSESSION IS POWER.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Seeking to
Control Oklahoma and Indian
Territory.

Although several thousand miles of new
railroad are projected in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, practically all the new
mileage under construction in that sec
ton of the country is being built by large
systems, chiefly the Rock Island and San
ia. Fe, says the Railway Age, The Choc-
taw Oklahoma and Gulf. the St Louis
and San Francisco and the Hutchinson
and Southern have built short extensions
this year, but the Rock Island and Santa
Fe are adding more important branches.
These two companies appear to be work
ing together to cover new territory. which
is now without railroad facilities, but
which is rapidly developing and which
gives promise OF profitable traffic. Ok
lahoma is rich in agricultural lands, and
as other sections become sufficiently set
tied to warrant railway extension the
Rock Island and Santa Fe will be found
ready to undertake the work.
Some of the territory now being pene-
trated may not at the present time pro-
duce sufficient traffic to make the invest
ment a paying one for the companies. but
it has been necessary to occupy the terri
tory in order to prevent its invasion by
other lines.

A RAILROAD RACE.
Three Roads Are Making All Haste to
Enter Cripple Creek

Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. 31-The
Importance of the Colorado Springs and
Cripple Creek air line is apparent from
the opposition it has aroused. Denver
and New York capitalists have organ
lied the Florence and Cripple Creek
and the Midland Terminal into a Den
yer road. Only fifty miles of track,
beginning at Divide, are necessary to
connect with a branch of the Union
Pacific. This connection is being rush
ed through. A third road, the Cripple
Creek and Canon City, twenty five
miles long, is being crowded to compile
ton. Work on the air line is progress
ing. The three roads are racing to
get to the camp.
The Colorado Philadelphia reduction
plant, of $50 tons daily capacity, 10
Gated at Colorado City, on the latter
road, is doubling it's capacity. Ar
engagements are making to build a sec
Ond mill there. From Cripple Creek to
these plants the grade is rather steep.
Low freight rates are assured. The
promoters of the road represent IN
limited wealth.
