Santa Fe is Guarding Against
Shortage in Coal Supply.
Thousands of Tons Now Being
Stored Along the Line.
READYFOR THE WINTER
Will Have Plenty of Coal on
Hand During Bad Weather.
Forty Thousand Tons to Be
Stored in Kansas Alone.

Following out the custom inaugu-
rated two years ago, the Santa Fe is
storing coal at different points along
the line.
Heretofore the railroads have expert
enced great difficulty at times in keep
ing the coal supply from running short
because of the fact that snow storms
often block traffic until the supply in
the yards and chutes is exhausted. To
guard against shortage is the reason
for the storage of the coal.
On the Chicago division ten thousand
tons will be divided between ChilIicothe
and Fort Madison. On the New Mexico
division ten thousand tons will be d.
vided between Ration and San Marcial.
La Junta will get 1900 tons and Dodge
City 1900. In Kansas 10000 tons of
F'rontenac coal is being stored at each
of the following four places: Topeka,
Newton, Arkansas City and North OF
tawa- The same amount is being stored
at Edmund, Oklahoma Territory.

GRIEVANCE MEN MEET.
Physical Examination Again Taken
UP by Union Pacific Employees.

Omaha, Aug. 9.-An five chairmen OF
the Union Pacific grievance boards
those of the BrOtherhoOds of Locomotive
Engineers, Locomotive F'iremen, Con-
ductors, Brakemen and Telegraphers ar
rived in the city yesterday and are now
holding sessions at the Arcade. George
w. Vroman Of North Platte represents
the engineers; c. H. Engle of Ellis,
Kan, the f1remen; J. NJ. Cahill Of
Cheyenne, the conductors; S. c. Macom-
Der of North Platte. the brakemen. and
F. A. Baldwin of Willard, the telegrapherS
B. J. Harnish of Laramie also came in
to present a particular grievance held
by the firemen.
In speaking of the work now on hand,
one of the chairmen said: I'VE are
here to finish the work left undone at
our last meeting. We expect to meet
the officials of the road who were not
here at that time. Till we can meet
them and find out what they will do, we
can say nothing ourselves"
The work referred to as having been
taken up at the last meeting is that of
physical examinations, which many
of the employees feel is being forced
upon them in a way to make it a hard
ship to them, and a system calculated
to make it possible to discharge men on
the pretext of being physically incapa-
BILE when other buried reasons really
exist. The watch order, which has since
been published, will also be taken up
with the general manager.

to this meeting, the school levy will be
twelve mills and one mill for the bonds
that were voted last fall for the erection
of the new school building For the
past six years the board says it has
been making up a deficit which COM
PEELED the borrowing of money.
This year there was a balance on
hand of nearly $4,000, which will aid
greatly in putting the board on a fair
financial basis although no returns
from the levy will be due until Deem

The following statement was given

RIPLEY WILL DECIDE IT.
Continuance of 8. F. and G. S. Agree
ment Rests With Him.

Denver, Aug. 9.-President Ripley of
the Santa Fee will come to Denver to
confer with President Trumbull of the
Colorado & Southern over the track
agreement between Denver and Pueblo.
I'VE have a. great many figures to go
how we are situated" said Mr.. Trurn-
bull yesterday. 1T will require some
time for US to go over these figures and
know exactly what the status is, but
after we have done so we will be in a
position to take up the agreement. I do
not believe that there is any doubt that
the agreement will be signed. Our
agreement with the Santa Fe expired
Aug. l. but we are still operating trains
over the Santa F'e tracks to Pueblo and
are following to the letter the old agree
ment. The old agreement will continue
in force for the present.
The meeting in Denver between the
two railroad presidents will be Aug. 10.

They established stores at Dagaupan.

Aubrey, in speaking about his bust
ness experience over there. said last
night: I'VE did fairly well in our bust
ness ventures Carlac was the best
point at which we had a station. The
people at large have the Filipinos' in
telligence moderated They are smooth
Their faces are very childish and sim
pie looking and this helps to deceive a
person. They are very cunning, espe-
cially in business dealings, and it kept
me hustling to hold my own with them
There is another mistaken opinion in
regard to these people. Most people think
they are towards. I believe if they had
the right kind of leaders they would be
fine soldiers. They do not lack cour-
age.
"A good many of the Filipinos are
wealthy and many soldiers marry one
of the natives as soon as they are mus
tered out They usually marry one of
the half breeds known as Mosquitoes. I

quest that the officers of the western
lines place their tickets on sale in
Washington to enable the employees to
purchase their transportation direct
from the capital to their respective
homes, avoiding the Inconvenience of
rebuying tickets in St Louis or Chi
cagO.
For the last presidential election the
railroads conceded half-fare rates for
all government employees who desired
to go home to VOTE said a general pas
senger agent of one of the western
roads. II have no doubt that a similar
arrangement will be made this fall.
However, the Republican folks ask for
something new this year-that is, they
want the western roads to place their
tickets on sale in Washington, SO that
through transportation may be obtain
ed there if desired. 1 cannot say wheth-
er this will be done. One thing is GER
tain, and that is that whatever rate
is put in will be for the benefit of all
voters and not for those who are
pledged to stand for one party. Mr..
Babcock has been advised to take his
application to the roads which have a
terminal in Washington If those lines
grant reduced rates I have no doubt all
roads will do likewise"

MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
Presidents Still Have a Trans-Conti-
mental Association in View.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Another determined
attempt will be made to organize a
transcontinental railway passenger as
scciation according to the wish of the
presidents, expressed in the New York
meeting. At that time General Passen-
ger Agent Sebastian of the Rock Island
was appointed chairman of a commit
tee selected for the purpose of trying to
organize such an association, but the
attempt that was made soon after was
without result. Now Mr.. Sebastian has
called a meeting of the tranScontinental
lines for Glenwood Springs, Colo, Au-
gust 30.
It is expected that opposition will be
met from the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific. If this proves to be
the case it is not at all unlikely that
the association will be organized with
out the aid of these roads Lines run
ming west from Chicago, at least, are
exceedingly anxious to organize for
transcontinental business under the be-
lief that it will tend to greatly coszsezs-
revenue in that territory.

DR.. Bowers left Louisville, his home, in
