FEWER WEIGHMASTERS.
Found Necessary to Reduce Number
From Six to Four.

The plan to discontinue check
weighing in state grain department has
been abandoned. The force of weigh
masters will be reduced from six to
four. The department was not bringing
in sufficient income to pay the men, 1t
has been decided TO reduce the force
and pro rate the income among those
remaining at work
This plan was suggested by the state
grain dealers association, which held
a meeting in Kansas City Thursday
night. Secretary COrtely of MuscOtah,
explaining the situation, said:
The present light receipts in Kan
sas City are a temporary condition
only, brought on by the shrinkage in
values. With every little bulge in the
market there will be a new movement.
Fully three-fOurths of the wheat crop
of SO is already out of the farmers
hands and the corn crop will begin to
move with an advancing market. The
weight checking bureau has been found
to operate to such great advantage to
all concerned that the assOciat tiOn
deemed it wise to continue it If any
plan could be devised whereby we could
do so. We have considered the mat
ter thoroughly today and we can say
that all arran gements for it's cOntinu-
ance are about completed. Kansas City
has established a better reputation for
correctness of weights since the bureau
has become operative than any grain
market in the country, and it would be
an unfortunate matter il we were
forced to discontinue it."

FROM LAS VEGAS.

There are at present eighteen extra
f1remen on the list.
The local bagga geman of the Santa
Fe handled for the month of November
1900 pieces of baggage.
Engineer Parneu is off with a broken
finger caused by the handle coming off
while he was shaking the CRATES.
1t is expected that 1900 cars Of or
anges will be shipped from California
to the east within the next ten days,
the Santa Fe road handling half of
them.
The passenger engine crews are
working more hours than ever before.
Those running between Ration and Las
Vegas often have only thirty minutes to
clean and turn their engines at this
place.
Passenger Engineer Rue has report
ed for duty after a couple of weeks
spent in recovering from bruises re-
ceived at the "hOrse shoe" some time
since.
George Thompson, who proved him
self a faithful shop emplOye at Albu-
querQue, has been promoted, and left
for Williams, where he will superin-
tend the putting up of a big galvanized
water tank for the Santa Fe railroad.
Half a dozen men are working under
Mr. Thompson.
One of the longest runs recently heard
of was made by Engineer Murray and
Fireman Bourne last week. They left
Ration on No 1 at a m. coming to
Las Vegas. They were sent home here
to Albuquerque on No. II, arriving at
8:25. They were then turned there and
brought No out at 10:45 p. m, and
sent through to Ration, arriving at that

here, after completing a trip over the
White Oaks Route to the SaladO coal
fields. General Dodge was taken ser
iOusly i'll on the trip, and a physician
from here attended him to Ell Paso. Mr.
Jones says that there is no truth in
the reports sent out from FL Paso that
the Rock Island and Denver and Fort
Worth have entered into a combination
to purchase both the White Oaks and
Sierra Madre lines, and extend the for
mer to Liberal, Kan, and the latter to
TopObolombO Bay, Gulf of California,
and furnish a shorter line to Kansas
City and Chicago
There is no doubt that the Rock Is
land win eventually build from Lib
eral, Kan, and connect with the White
Oaks, and thus cut off 300 miles of the
present line to Kansas City, or that the
ChOctaW, Oklahoma and Gulf will build
from Weatherford, Oklahoma, and con-
meet with the White Oaks, thus fur
nishing shorter line to st. Louis from
Mexico by 200 lines

FIGHT MAY BE BITTER
Legislators Are Taking Up Double
Header Question In Texas.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 16.-Dudley G.
Wooten, representative from Dallas in
the legislature, today said that he will
use his influence with Governor Sayers
to include in the subjects for which the
legisla ture is to be called in extra. ses-
sion on January 23 that of double head
ers on Texas railroads. In a long and
carefully prepared communication to
the governor, Mr. WOOten urges the
necessity of legislation against the
dOuble-headers, which are becoming so
common on Texas raiIrOadS-that is
single freight trains of such length that
it requires two locomotives to pull them
but only one train crew being employed.
In addition to what he considers an
injustice to railway employees, Mr..
WoOten gives many other reasons why
the double-headers should be outlaw
ed. He declares to the governor that
the tracks and bridges of the railroads
in Texas were not constructed for such
heavy strains as the double-header
trains subject them to. and that there
is grave, danger of disasters in permit
ting the dOuble-headers to be run

Where the Victims of the M aine Will

Washington, Dec. 16-Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Allen having Sc

Maine are to be buried is now making
arrangements for the reinterment sub
stantially on the same lines as those
followed in the case of the Santiago
victims. The remains of the Maine
victims will be brought by a special
train directly from Fort Monroe to Ar
lingtOn. They will be carried through
General Sheridan's gate and placed in
hospital tents pending the burial ser
vices, each casket covered with an
American fiag.
It is expected that the president. the
members of the cabinet, most of the
army and naval officers in Washington
and a large number of persons will be
present in Arlington when the final in

CATT1EMEN DETERMINED.
Will Make a Big Effort to Overthrow
the Charge by Weight For Stock.

Kansas CITY. Dec 16-Executive Off
GERS of railroads running through Kan
sas have received copies of the follow
ing circular. signed by the president
and secretary of the association OF
growers and shippers of live stock in
Kansas:
"A meeting of the Kansas Live Stock
association of Kansas will be held at
the court house in EmpOria, Kan, De
cember 2S for the purpose of taking
action toward protecting cattle shippers
against the reaSOnable and unjust
rates recently put into effect by the
Kansas railroads, and also to make an
effort to obtain better service from the
railroads in the transportation of live
stock. All parties interested, whether
members Of the association or not, are
invited to attend"
This month the railroads in Kansas
began to charge by weight for trans
porting live stock, instead of a fixed
rate per car, as has been made for
many years in that state Everywh ere
else the railroads have based rates for
cattle on actual weight, just as rates
are made on every other class of traf-
fic.
The change in basis of rates on the
average will make no difference to the
railroads or to the shippers of live stock.
It Will prevent some shippers from
crOWding more cattle into a car than is
safe or humane, and will save other
shippers from paying higher rates than
they should. No traffic nets less profit to
the railroads than live stock. 1t re-
quires fast train service and a special
kind of cars, which must be hauled
empty one way, as a rule. Shippers of
live stock everywhere else pay freight
rates based on weight. The railroads
can not make fixed carload rates for
Kansas shippers alone without showing

Mr.. j. ]. Kinney will Leave the
Service of the Santa Fe.
Has Resigned as Superintend-
ent Of Special Service.
DEPARTMENT CUT OUT.
To Be Abolished as Announced
January 1.
Work Will Be Handled by Di-
vision Superintendents.

Mr.. J. J. Kinney, superintendent of the
secret service of the Santa Fe, has re-
signed, effective January l. Mr.. Kinney
has not yet decided what he will do after
leaving the service of the Santa Fe.
1t was announced in the State Journal
some time ago that the secret service
department would be abolished the first
of the year
Hereafter, secret work on the Santa Fe
will be principally in charge of the su-
perintendents of the various divisions.
The claim department will handle some
special work of a general nature, but the
discovery of any crime that may be prac-
ticed by employees will be left to the di-
vision heads.
While there is no intention on the part
of the officials to entirely abandon special
work, much less attention will be given
to detective tactics after January 1 than
has been true of the Santa Fe for the
past several years.
Mr.. Kinney formerly held a similar po
sition with the M, K. & T. road with
headquarters in st. Louis.
