ed so materially as a result OF higher
prices, the line is to be built.

Frisco President Is Well Satisfied
With Outlook In the Southwest.

Kansas City,July ED B. Robinson.
president of the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco road, is authority for the state
ment that the wheat crop of Oklahoma,
which is being harvested. will amount
to 40 600. 600 bushels. and that the cotton
crop will aggregate 100000 bales.
The winter wheat crop of Kansas he
estimates at IS, 600, 900 bushels. and the
partial failure Of that crop will be more
than covered by the increased acreage
of corn, rye and other grains, which will
be just as profitable for the railroads
to carry. In Missouri the activity is
greater than it ever has been Prices
have almost doubled for these products,
and this has stimulated production AS
a result the tonnage has greatly in
creased. The west bound movement
of harvesting machines is now unusual

eXceedingly dourishing condition.

York for information on the subject.
It is reported that the Chicago COM
mercial interests have devised new
scheme TO make the gulf lines withdraw
their gulf rates as at present in erect
and cease all demand for the diferen-
tiaIs. It is proposed to ask the inter-
state commerce commission to compel
and short haul clause of the in
terstate commerce law, which they
claim has been ignored. Another wedge
that is TO be used is the charge that
the Texas points are Disseminated
against in that the rates from some of
the Texas points are higher than those
in effect from points several hundred
miles beyond. And that rather than re-
duce the Texas rate and materially re-
duce their revenue from their Texas
traffic they would increase the gulf
scale to an equitable basis.

CARE IN ENGINE BUILDING.
Unusual Attention Given It's New
Locomotives BY the Santa Fe.

The Santa Fe road is making a great
Improvement in the class of engines
which they are putting on their passen-
ger service. They have always had the
best class of engines, but now they are
paying more attention to speed as well
a first-class equipment The railroads
of today realize that speed is of more
Importance than it used to be, and the
builders Of engines are working to that
end Not only the engines that they
have contracted for in the east, but
those which the Santa Fe are building in
their shops here are of the compound
type and built for fast service The
two engines now being completed for
their new Chica gO-Denver train have
drive wheels n inches in diameter.
In the freight service many improve
ments are likewise being made. The
Player compound engines are already
highly spoken of by engineers in all
parts Of the country In the Railroad
Gazette of June 18th, there is an ex-
tended article in regard to the tandem
