the most popular one to the Pacific
coast.
C. H. Mcvey, who is drilling ar
tesian well for the Santa Fe north of the
rount1house, informs that the well is
about completed. A depth of 525 feet
has already been reached. The new well
will be about the same depth the one

gasoline engine. similar to that
now in use on the hospital well.-La
Juuta Tribune.
An order has been issued by the Santa
Fe management governing the rate of
speed to be maintained by engineers with
the new consolidation engines. The Or
der says that rate of a mile in two
minutes is all that will be allowed when
the engine is running light, or when
hauling freight train, unless under very
urgent circumstances.
The Santa Fe road will within few
DAYS have 600 borrowed box cars in use
hauling wheat from Kansas points to
the Missouri river elevators. The Rock
Island during the past eighteen mouths
built nearly 5000 freight cars and a
result will not be compelled to- borrow

AlIyELY CONTEST.

One Of the liyeliest contests now going.
on in congress, and which is engaging.
the attention Of agricultural organiza-
lions and dairyrnen as we'll as CONNER
cial bodies and merchants generally in.
all sections of the country, is over the
bill pending in the house proposing 10
cents pound tax on oleomargarine
acolored in imitation of butter. The
duce the tax on uncolored oleomargar-
inc from the present rate of 9 cents a
pound to half cent a pound. There is
tremendous pressure upon congress
from the agriculturists and dairymen.
for the passage of this bill They claim
that the coloring of oleonlargarine is
not not only al fraud upon the consumer,
but also an unfair competition with
dairy butter. On the other hand, the
oleomargarine and butterine manufac-i
turers, aided by cattle men interested in
the utilization of oleomargarine, and the
cotton seed oil producers, whose product
is also employed in this manufacture.
are bitterly opposing the bill. The cons
test is almost as vigorous on both sides
as was that waged fifteen years ago
when the first tax of 9 cents pound
on oleomargarine was carried thru by
an act Of congress.

are involved. Iowa dairysnen are NOV
