During 1899 Arizona shipped out 167,-
433 cattle and slaughtered 80, 40, a
total output of 1919, S43, which at an
average OF S1S per head would yield
an aggregate revenue of 1887, ia.
These figures do not include cattle
killed by stockmen and rsnchmen for
their own use.
The number of Mexican cattle i'm
ported IN to the United States during
the month of February amounted to
only 1875 head, and of these only about
500 head were destined for Texas.

Railroad Facts.

To the casual observer there is moth
ing fascinating in the appearance Of
the ordinary Railroad Guide. To him
Is Is mass of figures, with names of
railroad officers and little bit OF
unattractive advertising. That it
contains some interesting and useful
Information for the ordinary reader,
as we'll as for the actual traveller, was
strikipgly illustrated by a wager
among party of men the other even
ing.
fsI:ll bet you new hat,' said one,
that you can't name the four longest
railroads in America"
81 can feel that hat on my head n ow.
| may as well let you buy me new
tile as purchase it myself" replied his
friend.
The wager was witnessed by few
friends, and then great guessing
tournament was inaugurated. If you
think this is such an easy matter, just
write down the names OF the four
longest railroads in America, before
reading further or without referring
to a guide. See how near right you
come. AS rule nine out of ten persons
will miss it. Even well posted railroad
men occasionally go astrsy on this
subject, the common error being to
plsce the Santa Fee system second,
While as q matter of fact the Burlington
route passed the Santa F'e In the
mileage race and secured second place
several months ago. 10 point OF
mileage the first four American
railroads are: The Chicago & North
western, the Burlington route, the
Santa Fe, and the Canadian Pacific.
This inform alton may be had by any
one willing to look into a current issue
of the Travellers Official Guide. That
SO few persons can correctly name the
four longest Americans road is apparen nj
proof that they do not often see rail-
road guide. Exclusive of side and dou-
BILE tracks, the mileage of the four lon
gest roads is as follows: Chicago q
North N estern, S,346 miles; Burlington
route. Z, $50: Santa Fee, 7,71S; Canadian
Pacific, 1854. Most persons guess the
Pennsylvania and the Southern Pacific
as among the first four. The Southern
Pacifcrauks fifth with 1901 miles then
comes the Pennsylvania, with 1898
miles.

MEXICAN CENTRAL BULLETIN
A Drunken Conductor In Charge OF
A Passenger Trdin-A Brake
man Discharged And Arrested.

| A Mexican Central bulletin says:
During the past fifteen days EN-.
ployees have been disciplined as fol-
lows:
| A conductor in charge of q passen-
ger train was found to be in an in
tOxicated condition. For some time
past, we have been endeavoring to i'm
press upon all employees the necessity
| OF letting Intoxicating liquors alone.
| In this case the conductor was unfit
| for duty of any kind ana by attempt
| ing to run the train in his charge he
not only imperilled the property of the
company but the lives of the passen-
gers.
A conductor and three brakemen
have been discharged on account of
unsatisfactory record with other roads
where they had been previously en-
ployed.
A freight conductor, whose work has
been unsatisfactory and who was in
the habit of drinking intoxicating
liquors while on the road, has. been dis
charged.
An agent at small station has been
discharged for general unsatisfactory
work. Upon checking the accounts of
this agent 1t was found that he was
short and this fact has been shown
against his record.
A bridge foreman recently asked q
passenger conductor to carry q man
who was not in the service of the COM
pany. The conductor being aware of
the fact refused to carry him without
proper transportation. whereupon the
bridge foreman used very abusive
language to the conductor, aud sent
telegram to the general manager,
division superintendent and division
carpenter saying that the conductor
had refused to carry one of his bridge
men.
Two brakemen have been discharged
for fntoxicatfon. One of these men
got into fight and was taken in charge
by the authorities.
A yardmaster, taking SO little in
terest In his work, allowed cars to &C
cumulate so as to block his yard and
delay trains. He has been discharged
for incompetency.
Four men have been shown on
our records as dismissed for leaving
without notice and DESERVING their
trains between terminals. A record of
this kind is considered as bad as being
discharged for intoxication, and it is
to be hoped that when an employe
desires to leave the service he will
give us the customary notice in order
that we may provide men to relieve
him,

Who Is GUILTY.?

9 HICAGO, April 6.-Western roads are
stirred up over widespread demoraliza-
tion which has broken out in passenger
rates east bound from Kansas City.
Brokers there are stocked with tickets
reading to New York, via Chicago,
which they are selling considerably
below tariff rate. These tickets ap-
p ear to be portions of through tickets
from points in the far west to New
York, and the brokers have them In
such numbers that 1t ia asserted they
must'have been stocked by the road or
roads over which they read after the
portions between the starting point
and Kansas City had been clipped off.
This is an old trick of passenger men
wishing to secure an advan-
tage over competi tors. The demora-
lization is great enough to lead the
Missouri Pacific to declare it will meet,
via ST. Louis, the cuts the brokers are
making in the tickets reading via
Chicago, as their action places it at a
great disadvantage SO far as through
business is concerned. OF course the
result of the manipulation will be to
d emoralize things not only between
Kansas City and New York, but be-
tween Kansas City and all important
i intermediate points, such as Chicago.
