The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-12-08

Steam and hot air furnaces have well
nigh displaced the picturesque f1replaces
OF half century ago. This is unfor-
tunate, for women never looked more
charming than when lost in reverie be-
fore the Pickering blaze that touched
even the most unpromising FEATURES into
softness and sweetness. Women are so
much creatures of environment that it is
pity the freplaces have gone out of
fashion. A cheerful open fire would do
much to dispel the blues into which over

NEW RAILROAD DEAL.
Santa Fe Said to Be Backing New
Lines of the ssThree I's.''

The Indiana, Illinois & Iowa railroad,
better known as the Three Ts," has
thrown down the gauntlet to the Van
derbilts and to the Hill-Harriman COM
bination as represented in the Northern
Pacific-Burlington deal. says the KAN
sas City Journal
Orders have been issued by the man
agement to begin construction of an
extension from South Bend to Elkhart,
and this is the preliminary m owe in a
struggle which may be waged with
the most powerful railway influences
in the west, northwest and east
On the eve of the annual meeting of
the presidents, which is to occur in
New York Wednesday, the announce
ment is made by a reliable source that
the Three Is" will be extended from
South Bend to Toledo and from South
Bend to Chicago. An extension from
South Bend to Detroit is also among
the possibilities, and will, it is said, de-
pend largely upon the reception that is
given the growing ambition of the little
road.
Although no official confirmation can
be secured regarding the matter there
is reason to suspect that the move is
backed by the management of the San
ia F'e road If this is true it becomes
evident that the Santa Fe has deter
mined by means of the Indiana, Illi-
nois & Iowa road as a nucleus, to
establish itself in such a manner as to
be independent of whatever combina-
tion may be made in the east or north
west.

SHOP SITE PURCHASED.
Orient Road Secures a 4O-Acre Tract
Near Wichita.

Wichita, Kas.. Dec. 2-The Orient
shops site has been definitely located,
the ground purchased and paid for.
Yesterday morning James Allison
passed a check of $1,000 to Coler Sim,
who as the agent of parties in Keene,
New Hampshire, had charge of forty
acres of land between the Arkansas
river and Seneca street and directly
west of the fair grounds. The property
is not now in the city, but it will be
brought in.
1t is said that the site will not cost
the railroad company a cent, and that
it was a local syndicate which really
purchased the property, after first MAX
ing the deal with the Orient company to
locate their shops there. The site ad-
joins Princess addition, where Mr..
Chas- V. Ferguson has been purchasing
a great deal of property during the past
two or three months.
The land purchased is very poor, be-
ing valueless for agricultural purposes
1t is a fractional piece, caused by the
winding of the river, and is exactly
two miles from the corner of Lawrence
and Douglas avenues. 1t is half a mile
from the Harry street terminus of the
street car line.

WHEAT FOR MEXICO.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Handling
100000 Bushels.

Distribution of the grain traffic of the
western roads is just now regarded as
phenomenal. Instead of grain going
from the west to the east. as is usual,
1t is being moved from the sources of
supply to sections farther west and TO
the south and southwest. where corn and
cats are required, owing to crop fail
ure5. The removal of the Mexican i'm
port duty on wheat is causing large
shipments to be made into that coun-
try, and it is estimated that about s.
1000 bushels will be taken to Mexico
before January /, the date on which the
duty Is to be restored. The Santa Fe
aAd the Rock Island get the greater
part of this traffic, as the wheat is to
go from Kansas and Oklahoma Rock
Island officers estimate that fully one
third of the quantity required has al
ready been shipped There is 300 900
bushels of wheat at Fort Worth to go
to Mexico, and more will be sent from
that point To provide for the grain
traffic of West Texas a $50 600 bushel
elevator is to be erected at FL R1so.

JUDGING BEGINS.

Chicago, Dec. 2-The work of judg-
ing the aristocratic animals at the In
ternational Livestock exposition began
today. Judging of pure bred steers and
the inter- collegiate judging contest both
began at 9 a. m. Later the judges dis
cussed the fine points of grade and
cross bred steers.
Thus the great show got into full
swing and will continue the Mecca of
admirers of domestic animals till the
close of the show on December Z.
In the sheep department the judges
took up pure bred wethers in the swine
department. TamWorthS and York
shires; and in the horse building Perch
erons were put through their PAGES on
the tanbark. The intercollegiate judg-
ing contests in swine and sheep began
during the afternoon.
The gates of the exposition were
thrown open at a. m. to a big crowd,
considering the earliness of the hour.
The ma jority of them were out-of-t town
cattlemen, in many cases attended by
members of their families, and General
Manager Skinner baSing an estimate on
this crowd said the days attendance
would be between 10000 and $4,000 peo-

EMIGRATION CHANGING

The Santa Fe railway takes a great
pride in Oklahoma, and is trying TO
keep a record of the progress made oy
that commonwealth insofar as it IS d.
rectly affected by means of the santa
F'e road.
Preparations are now being made Tor
the compilation of a book of staustlcs
TO show the advancement of Oklahoma
towns on the Santa F'e during the past
twelve months. The word towns -
used in a very inclusive sense, Tor the
Santa F'e proposes to show by its sta
tistics the growth not only of the towns
but of the wide belt of farming coun-
try which is tributary to the road
One of the interesting things whicn
the forthcoming box of statistics Will
show is that the trend of emigration
on the Santa F'e is no longer TO souln-
ern Oklahoma, but is toward the Pan
handle country. This is an indication
of two things: First, that southern southern
Oklahoma is passing the place Where
there is more land than the population
can attend to. and second, that the
Panhandle country is believed py
those who visit it TO offer opportunl-
ties for prOfitab BILE farming as Wei as
stock raising. The Panhandle IS Wlth-
out doubt a rich agricultural country,
the only doubtful point being the water
supply. 1t is claimed that plenty OF
water can De secured DE QIlAlA4lS, eAAAN IL
so the great cattle ranges Will soon De
cut up into fenced farms.
The statistics concerning the growth
of the country during the year will be
furnished by the agents of the Santa
Fe at every town in Oklahoma reached
by the road Blank forms are now be-
ing prepared by the passenger depart
ment, and will soon be sent out to the
agents. Reports will be received from
about sixty points in Oklahoma and 1t
is thought that the canvass will be
complete early in 1902.
The agents will be asked to state as
far as possible the number of families
coming to thar respective localities
during the year, the average amount of
farm land purchased by each family,
the increase N the size of the town,
and the important business houses and
other improvements established in the
course Of the year An effort will also
be made to ascertain approximately
the number of families who have come
in on the home-seeker excursions, and
the general character of the new popu-
lation-

and published in the usual attractive
