BIC STEEL CONTRACT
WABASH WILL HANDLE FOUR
MILLION TONS FOR cARNE-
GLE COMPANY.
Interesting Article by Edward 3. Jones
In the Toledo Blade Concerning
the Contract and the Power of the
Wabash Railway Company to Full
fill It..

Sealed, signed and approved in the
safe of the Wabash Railway Co.'S Office
at st. Louis is a contract for the trans
p~ortation of 4, O00,O tons of iron and
steel products. This immense volume
of traffic is to returned over to the Wa.
bash railway yearly by the Carnegie
Steel compomy on condition that the
Wabash own and operate a line into
Pittsburg.
When President Joseph Ramsey, jr.,
closed this contract he provided that
nothing in the way of a combination
would invalidate it. When the Steel
trust took over the Carnegie company,
the contract was included in the deal
just IS much as the plant and other
assets of the Carnegie company. In
sary for the Wabash to secure control
of the Wheeling a deal involving the
purchase of $1,000, 900 or $4,000
900 in securities and the construction
of terminals at Pittsburg at the ex-
pense of several millions more. All this
must be done in opposition to the Pen
nsylyana's interests. At a time when
an attempt is being made to bring all of
the large systems INTO closer relations
is this movement a bold stroke Of al
most Incredible magnitude.

1t is a singular thing that in the
popular view of disease the interde-
p%endence of the several organs of the
body is lost sight Of. The heart, for
example, is diseased and it. is treated as

Even in these days of large combina-
lions, when deals run up into the dizzy
millions and billions, this one ranks
among the largest. 1t is an almost i'm
possible ask to get at anything like a
conception of the magnitude Of the con
tract. Some of the largest railway sys-
tens in the country do not move 4,O00,-
| 900 tons including all classes of freight
in a year. With one dash of a pen Pres
ident Ramsey secured sufficient traffic
to upp a railroad system. Last
year, when it's traffic was the heaviest
in the history of the road, the Wabash,
with a mileage of 1858, extending from
Buffalo to Kansas City through most
important commercial centers, moved
only little over twice the amount call
ed for in the P%ittsburg contract. In
the previous year the number of tons
moved by the Wabash lines east and
west of the Missouri river amounted to
a time when the Wabash officials
thought that the property would reach
its limit when it moved 1000, 900 tons.
And the earnings resulting directly
from the handling of the 1000, 900 tons
will scarcely exceed the evenue from
other business which the tonnage will
bring to the company. It is very diff
| cult to estimate the strategic import
ance to the Wabash of this great in
crease in tonnage. 1t will 20 to all of
its connections with 1000, 900 tons of
new business. The western lines, In
distributing their %eastbound business,
will give great consideration to the
fact that the Wabash has 1000, 900 tons
of steel and iron out of Pittsburg.
| They will want their share of it, and
will increase the amount of business
routed by the Wabash. With a line into
| Pittsburg the Wabash tonnage ought
to be almost doubled with a CORES
ponding increase in earnings.
-
The volume of business represented
by 1000, 900 tons is not comprehended
by considering the abstract figures.
1t will require from eleven to twelve
trains per day with the largest locomo-
tiyes to handle the business out of
Pittsburg. This calculation is based
on the s~upposition that the weather is
favorable TO the movement of large
trains. During the winter, the num-
her of trains would be increased to ff-
teen Of sixteen.

 ''In any event this department has at all times been impelled by desire to do whatever it could, and all that it could, consistent. with the Interests of the government, to promote the welfare of the communities affected by said re- serves, and whenever it is shown that the paramount interests of those com munities demand the consolidation of these reserves with the odd-numbered sections adjoining them, and the own CTS of said sections will get together and submit proposition to the depart ment that it can entertain, it stands ready to use its best efforts to effect that consolidation.

that fully three-fOurths of the surface of the San Francisco Mountains forest reserve slopes to the north, and the run-oR is in that direction, and emp ties into the Little Colorado, and thence by means of the Great Colorado into the Gulf of California.
 ''It was, however, contended by the representatives of MaricOpa county that notwithstanding the slope of the greater portion of the area of said re- serve to the north that the bed rock sloped toward the south, that the water percolating through the soil flowed along this bed rock and came out in springs towards the south, which fed the Salt and Verde rivers.
 ''In reply to this, however, it was al- legged by the representatives of Coco ninO county, and not denied by Mari copa, that investigation at the geologi- cal survey and department of agricul- ture disclosed the fact that there was no absolute evidence in their posses sion showing in which direction the bed rock did incline, but that such evidence as they did have, indicated that it sloped to the north.
 "If it be true that the major portion of the surface of said reserve slopes to the north and that the bed rock also slopes in that direction, it would seem that the anxiety of the people of the Salt River valley and their anxiety in regard to the source of their water supply is not we'll founded.
 ''It was further disclosed at that hear ing that the Salt and Verde rivers had decreased in their flow during the last three or four years but that there had existed all over that country for that period condition of unusual drouth, and that springs on the tops of the mountains inaccessible to sheep graz ing or any of the agencies that 1t is alleged affect the water flow, had lost seventy-five per cent of their capacity in that time.
 "A remarkable fact, however, in con- nection with that hearing, or rather a remarkable allegation made by the representatives of Coconiuo county, and not denied by Maricopa, was that the only stream that originates and re- ceives its water supply in the San Francisco Mountain forest reserve, and which receives the rain fall and run of from the only portion of the reserve that slopes in a southernly direction, is stream by the name of Oak Creek; that Oak Creek is a tributary of the Verde River, and that along the head waters of Oak Creek timber has been cut, sheep have been grazed and all the agencies that are presumed to affect adversely the water supply have op- erated there, yet notwithstanding these facts, the flow of water in that stream has not diminished to any preceptible extent, but has practically maintained itself at flood tide.
 "I have expressed myself herein at some length for the purpose of showing you first, that this department put forth every honorable effort that it could to bring about the consolidation of these reserves, under the impression that it was necessary to protect the timber and conserve the water supply and to protect the irrigating interests of the Salt River valley; second, that when it came to the point of perfecting said consolidation, it was discovered that the ability of the owners of the odd numbered sections to transfer their

RESERVE CONSOLIDATION.
What the Secretary of the Interior has to Say on tho Matter Con-
 solidAtion will bo Made.

The following statement was recently made by the secretary of the interior in reply to an Arizona water corpora. tion located in the Salt River valley. It will be seen that the secretary has decided views in regard to the pro. posed consolidation of the lands in the San Francisco Mountains forest re. serve, and that the COcOninO county delegation to Washington last March accomplished good work for this county;
 ''In reply beg to advise you that for the past two years have been endeav' bring to reach some arrangement with the owners of the odd numbered sec. tions adjoining the San Francisco Mountains forest reserve in Arizona, that would enable me to recommend to the president such action as would effect the consolidation of said reserves.
 ''Such proceedings were had in the matter that proposition was finally submitted to this department by the owners of the odd-numbered sections within the exterior limits of sad re- serves, which approved and which it was believed would effect the cOnsoli. dation desired.
 Approximately said Odd-numbered sections embrace an area of about 900, NM in t,ar all p< which I understood was to be relin- quished to the United States and other lands in lieu thereof selected else where.
 "When it came, however, to the car rying out of the proposition it was dis covered that the owners of the odd. numbered sections had overlooked that an estimated area of l5O,OOO acres, and which were timbered land, could not be relinquished because they were either covered by contracts of sale or by contracts providing for the removal of the timber therefrom.
 "Other information received by the department led me to believe that a large portion of the remaining 750,OOO acres which it was proposed to relin. quish were in no sense timbered lands, and that the actual acreage of timbered lands that would be acquired by the government would not be great enough to warrant the government in making the exchange of lands under the terms of the proposition, not great enough to aid materially in conserving the water supply.
 'I therefore declined to proceed fur ther in the matter or to ask the presi- dent by proclamation to make such con- solidatiOn, and so advised the parties in interest.
 Tn this connection, referring to the stress placed by you upon the rroposi- tion that the water supply of the Salt and Verde rivers, upon which the irri- gation of the Salt River valley depends, and in which your company is largely interested, is almost wholly dependent upon the consolidation of this reserve, for the purpose of preserving the tim Der and conserving the water supply, desire to call your attention to 8 phase of this matter which appears to have heretofore been overlooked by you in consideration of this question.
 "You are, of course, aware that when 1t was learned that this consolidation was contemplated the supervisors in Coconino county, in Arizona, protested against the contemplated action, alleg- ing that the political existence of the county was threatened, and would be

TOOK A NOBLE REVENGE.
Governor of Missouri Pnrdoned
Rudian Who Had Wronged
Him.

Gov. Robert Stewart, once governor
of Missouri, was one of the kindliest
of men. He had risen from lowly life
to a position of eminence through his
own efforts and never forgot the days
when he had to work hard for bare
subsistence, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. When he was in the guberna-
torial chair a steamboat man was
brought in from the penitentiary as
an applicant for a pardon. He was a
large, powerful fellow and when the
governor looked at him he seemed
strangely affected. He scrutinized
him long and closely. Finally he
signed the document that restored
the prisoner to liberty. Before he
handed it TO him he said: "You will
commit some other crime and be in
the penitentiary again, ] fear
The man solemnly promised that he
would not. The governor looked
doubtful, unused a few minutes and
said
"You will go back on the river and
be a mate again. suppose
The man replied that he would.
"Well, / want you to promise me
one thing" resumed the governor. Il
want you to pledge your word that
when you are a mate again you viii
never take a billet of wood in your
land and drive a sick boy out of a
sunk to help you load your boat on a
stormy night" The steamboat man
said he would not, and inquired what
the governor meant by asking him
such a question.
The governor replied: because
some day that boy may become gov
ernor and you may want him TO par
don YOU for a crime. One dark
stormy night some years ago you
stopped your boat on the Mississippi
river to take on a load of wood.
There was a boy on board who was
working his passage from New Or
leans to st. Louis. but he was very
sick of fever and was lying in bunk.
You had plenty Of men to do the
work. but you went TO that boy with
stick of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses out
into the wretched night and kept him
toiling like a slave until the load was
completed. ! was that boy. Here is
your pardon. Never again be guilty
Of such brutality"
The man, covering and hiding his
face. went out without a word.
What a noble revenge that was and
what lesson TO a bully!
