THE SANTA FEs SUCCESS.
The Vast Passenger Traffic to the N.
E A. Attributed to Judicious
AdvertisiuC

The liberal use of printers ink has
been of vital importance in giving to the
Santa Fe railroad a liberal share of the
passenger traffic of the National Edu-
catiOnal association excursion to the
Pacific coast.
Never before in the history of rail-
reading have such extensive prepara-
tons been made and such large adVer-
tising contracts been cOnSumuated for
the benefit of one enterprise by one rail-
road as that advertising which the San
ia Fe executed on account OF the n. E.
A. excursion. This was not a new un-
dertaking except in the size of the ad
Vertising contract, as the Santa Ee is
very generous in its advertising. and
knowing that it pays on a moderate
scale, decided to prove that it would
prOpOrtiOnally pay better on a large
scale.
Mr. W. J. Black, general passenger
agent Of the Santa F'e selected about 2
of the most prominent and representa-
tive newspapers west of the Missouri
river, and early in the season closed
contracts with them for quarter, half
and full page advertisements In the
east the excursion was equally as we'll
brought to the public's notice, by well
constructed advertisements placed in
Puck, Judge, Life, MunSey'S, ScribnerS ;
and other magazines Nothing was left
undone which would honestly turn the
attention Of the travelling public to the
advantages offered by the Santa Fe
route.
That the scheme has borne fruit, it
IS only necessary to point to the i'm
mense crowds which have daily filed to
overf1OWing the cars of the Santa Fe
route and tested its travelling facilities
TO their utmost capacity. That ii pays
to advertise judiciOusly and constantly
keep before the public eye is one of the
unwritten laws of the Santa Fe and
this last signal success has proven its
prOpriety.

the Independent appear various articles
upon the foreign relations of the United

chairman Of the committee on foreign re-

There are some who say that the lust

COMMISSION HOUSE FIRE.
W. a. Anderson Suffers a Severe
Loss.

Fire was discovered about II o'clock
Wednesday night in the commission
house Of W. o. Anderson at 225 Kansas
avenue and only the prompt and effec-
tive work Of the fire department saved
a serious confiagTatiOn-
The fire was not discovered until 1t
had gained considerable headway and
when the department arrived the flames
were bursting through the rear of the
building The fire was in a pile of ship
ping cases and was probably OF incen-
diary origin.
The Sons of Hermann occupy the sec
ond floor and suffered considerable loss
from smoke. The building was not ser
iousIy damaged and the loss to Ander-
son was the destruction of his stock
He carried an insurance of $500 and
the lodge on the second floor $500 which
will probably cover the loss.
