tanned the lions share of the tourist
business, for the reason that they cater
ed to it more than their western con-
necticns and net because there were
any more attractions in the east than
in the west This summer the western
roads bid boldly for tourist travel.
A majority of the big conventions
and association gatherings were book
ed east of this city and the pan-Amer-
lean exposition, with its low rates, were
attractions that the western lines did
not believe would be easy to overcome.
Officers of the latter roads got together,
however, and agreed to put in a series
or low rates that would tend to cOun-
teract the east bound movement These
rates were lower for the mileage than
those given by the eastern lines. For
example. The round trip fare agreed
upon and for which tickets are now
being sold from Chicago to Denver and
Colorado common points was SIS, to
Utah points s35 and to California $50
The round trip to Buffalo is $3.50 and
Sl4-5O, and to New New York, a few
miles nearer Chicago than Denver,
$780, via the differentia1 lines and S35
by way Of the standard roads. With
these rates a constant warfare has
been carried on between the eastern
and western roads
By this competition In ratei the
travel in both directions has been enor-
nous. There are now twice as many
return parts of tourists tickets on de-
pOS1t with the joint agents of the west
ern roads at Colorado points as there
We're at this time last year.
Officials of the east-bOund roads are
entirely satisfied with their business,
which means that it is excellent for
passenger agents always complain
when cars are not filed The low rates
in all directions, including those put in
from Chicago to the Wisconsin resorts
for the present month have caused
such a movement of travellers as has
not been known in the history of the
railroads operating out of this city.

New Santa Fe Engines.

The Santa. Fe railroad has ordered 40
new passenger locomotives to be built
by the Baldwin Locomotive works
some time this year These engines are
to be OF what is known as the prairie
type, and will be among the largest
passenger engines in use on any west
ern railroad, the increase in size over
what has been in service heretofore
having been made necessary by the
great increase of passenger traffic
which the Santa Fe has experienced
recently. They will go into service be-
tween Chicago and La Junta and with
them trains Of as high as IA coaches
will be run instead of those Of about 10
coaches, the size of trains now handled.
Besides these there are to be five Bald
wins with the Vanderbilt firebox built
for service on the California. lines of
the Santa F'e. These locomotives will
be equipped with oil burners and will
run between Needles and Los Angeles.

ing to know where these figures were
obtained for nothing is more certain
than that they are wide of the mark. It
may be said to be fairly doubtful if
any material reduction in earnings will
be experienced because of the drouth,

made up in another Present indica-

Some Ministers Refuse 20 Accept the
Customary Cut.
The Railway and Engineering Re-
view says:
Among the subjects which come up
for frequent discussion and which Of
late has occupied some attention, IS
the clergyman's half rate privilege.
Just how this practice was inaugurated
is now difficult to say, but the finding
of any valid reason for its continuance
would be a. still more difficult PROPOSE
ton. Clergymen are not objects of
charity, and than themselves, none
would be quicker to resent such an i'm
putation They are educators, but so
are thousands of other people who are
denied the half rate privilege AS a
means of advertising the practice is
without effect. for all roads grant the
concession, and hence, nothing is to be
gained by any particular road in that
way. Further than this, the practice
furnishes a means of temptation which
frequently proves too strong even for
the clergyman's morals. The blacklist
kept by railroads of the cases where
the privilege is misused would astonish
most people, and it is not probable that
all infractions are detected. Many a
seIf-respecting clergyman declines to
be Inundated by the acceptance of the
so-caIled courtesy. but pays his full
fare like any other man. The whole
practice Is entirely indefensible and
should be discon tinued."

BAD IN KANSAS.
President Eoakum Does Not See
Much hope For Crops Here.


President 3. F. Yoakum of the Frisco
system, who has just returned to St.
Louis from an extended trip through
the southwest, and who made a person
al inspection of the corn, wheat and
cotton crops, has this to say of the
present situation.
Outside of Kansas, I believe the corn
crop along the Frisco line will average
so per cent. and the entire revenue from
corn handled by the Frisco, the past
year was less than 2 per cent of our
total revenue, and the tonnage, which
may be short this year on corn, will be
more than made up by increased wheat
crop of which product we not only
have an increased acreage, but better
quality.
Live stock through the Territories
and Texas is in good condition. The
grass is now green and the stock from
this time on will continue to improve,
and do not anticipate any shrinkage
in the live stock traffic.
1.-THE hay crop was being seriously
damaged until the recent rains, and
the hay tonnage will, no doubt, be re-
duced, but not materially, for the rea-
son that, although the first crop of hay
was cut short by the drought. the adj
vanced price Of from 81 to $6 per ton
is causing farmers to exert their best
efforts, and they are cutting hay from
pastures that have heretofore been
overlooked. Several well-informed par
hay tonnage will be as great as that of
last year.
This. however. does not apply to
Kansas. where the drought was more
serious than prevailed in the south
west.

Why PEOPLE TRAVEL
Intense Composition Between West
ern and Eastern Railroads.


Fierce war is being waged this sum-
mer between the roads operating west
from Chicago and those running east,
says a Chicago paper. The travelling
public has little or no idea of the fight
between the two sets of lines because
the strife is for business and cut rates
have not entered into the affair 1t is
the first time in the history of trans
portation companies that trouble of this
kind has prevailed without cut rates
and the quiet phase of the matter is
due largely to the community OF in
terest.
During the past year or two Chicago
has become a great distribution point
for summer tourist travel 1t is said
more tourists depart from Chicago than
from any other city in the country. This
new life has caused the keen rivalry
among the roads operating in every di-
rection from this city
