PRESERVING TIES.
CruSe Oil Being Tried by the Albu-
querQue Plant

Albuquerque. N. NJ, Oct. 1.-The tie
picking experiments which have been
going on for a number of months have
been concluded for the present So far
the tests have been pretty largely with
creosote and similar chemical prepara-
tons. The other day, however, sixty
two pounds of crude oil was forced into
one tie by pressure and other means,
and it seems probable now that this
will supersede the former as a wood
preseryative. The claim is made that it
is fully as good for the purpose and it's
cheapness is a strong, favorable point.
Creosote is costly, but it is said that the
California product can be obtained by
the company for as little as cents
barrel Picked ties have been sent out
to many places on the system and their
durability is matter to be watched
with much interest

Big Job For Painters on Frisco and
Memphis Locomotives.

Perhaps the most unique undertaking
incident to the consolida ton of the big
Frisco and Memphis railroads was be-
gun in this city Monday afternoon says
the Fort Scott Tribune. It was the
changing of numbers on all the engines
which run into this city. The sama
work was begun at other division
points on the entire system.
The road has $50 locomotives and the
A4-nbers on every one Of them must be

enormity of this task The responsible

over 60 of the engines in so short a

Surveyors Borrow Instruments and
Make Expenses as They Go.

Emporia, Oct.&The North and South
railroad has had its surveyors at work
during the past week and now has a
route surveyed north from Emporia to
beyond Bushong. The present route
parallels the M. K & T. railroad north
as far as Americas From this point it
goes to Bushong and the surveyors have
now stopped work about two miles
north, in the hills. Their head man,
Richard Nevins, is now in ST. Louis
and the surveyors are sitting around,
doing nothing. Most of the surveyors
for the North & South are ex-Orient
men and quit that road to work for the
new one. They had no instruments and
when they commenced to survey they
got their outfit from the county sur
veyor, Alva ]. Smith. He did not mind
their using the instrum ents, but when
they commenced to work clear outside
of the country he called halt and took
his kit. Nothing has been heard from
Nevins, the surveyors are simply
waiting for the necessary instruments
Mr.. Smith says the surveyors are max
ing each town pay their expenses by
refusing to survey through it unless it
puts up the necessary amount. If the
route is considered a practical one by
the officials, then the towns will feel
that they have been amply rewarded
If, however. the road is built around
them they are out what they gave the
surveyors.

At great banquet recently held at the
Palmer house. prominent Chicago lady
remarked to a physician sitting beside her
her dislike and entire disapproval OF the
popular cereal beverages, so-called food
coffees etc with which the market is
flooded. As the coffee cups were brought
in and the air became freighted with the
delicate aroma which coffee drinkers so
much enjoy, she remarked: THAT is the
genuine thing and drank her coffee with
the greatest delight. Imagine her surprise
when a few moments later she learned
that she had swallowed a cup of Caramel

STOP OBSERVATION CARS.
Too Cold For Them on the Kansas

It is announced by the passenger de-
partment of the Santa Fe that from
October 3 and to the end of the win
ter. the observation sleeper on trains 5
and 6. running between Kansas City

tinued. There will be no observation
sleeper on the train out of Kansas City

The observation sleepers are discon-
tinued for the winter for the reason
that the weather is getting too cold to
make the observation platform a. de-
sirable place to Hnger and watch the
rails roll out from under the train.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Wins Fight For Home
seeker Excursions.
Northern Railroads Made a
Stubborn Resistance
JEALOUS OF SANTA FE.
Passenger Association Leaves
Things in Statu Quo.
Hemeseeker Excursions of Ben
eft TO Kansas.

In spite of the opposition of northern
roads to the homeseekers' excursion
plan. the Santa F'e has announced It's
intention of continuing the homeseek-
er excursions at the regular times IN
the present month. and probably Tor the
rest of the present year
Tuesday, which was the first of the
month, was the regular date for the
homeseeker excursion, and it took place
ON schedule time on the Santa F'e- An
other viii occur on October Is, and sub
sequent excursions on corresponding
dates of succeeding months
During its recent session in Chicago
the homeseeker excursion rate was due
of the principle bones of contention for
the members of the executive commit
tee of the Western Passenger assoc1a-
ton The northern roads stubbornly
fought for the abolition of homeseeker
excursions during all but two or three
of the summer months. The Santa F'e.
and other roads covering the southern
and western parts of the country, want
ed the excursions run nearly the Whole
year around. The Santa Fe won its
fight for the time being, at least, ana
no change will be made during the pres
ent year.
The reason for the opposition of
northern roads is the fact that 1t is only
excursions can be profitably run into
the northern territory. Seekers for
homes are not likely to be greatly at
tracted by the snow covered plains of
Minnesota and the Dakotas. South
western roads. on the other hand, can
continue to draw patronage from the
north till late in the winter
We do not make any profit on the
rates which we give to hOmeSeeker ex-
cursions,'' said one of the officials of
the Santa Fe passenger department
yesterday. The only advantage in the
excursions is that it builds up our ter
ritory. We want to bring people into
Kansas and Oklahoma, and other west
ern and southwestern points rea ched by
our road. We want more settlers out
here, more corn and cattle raised, more
population. All such things help the
road We do not go around in Kansas
stirring up discomfort, and we give no
rates to points within the state. 1t is
outsiders that we try to bring into our
territory Naturally the northern roads
oppose the advantage which we gain
by climatic conditions, because we have
a better opportunity to draw patronage
from their territory than they have to
draw it from ours. The Santa Fe will
certainly continue it's homeseeker ex-
cursions. We are spending thousands of
dollars every week to boom them, and

FOUND $4,000.
But It Is in Mining Stock and May
Be Worthless.

Special officer Rayner, of the South
ern Pacific, has in his possession some
valuable papers which were found near
the depot and turned over to him, says
the FL Paso Herald The papers are in
a leather pocketbook bearing the name
of the owner. The most valuable of
them are certificates of stock in differ
ent mining companies, amounting to
S21, COO There are also receipts for in
surance dues, pawnbrokers tickets for
large amounts, lodge papers, etc.
There is some belief that the papers
We're stolen from the owners pocket
and the pickpocket finding that they
could not be turned to any profit to
him without detection, dropped them
where they were found. 1t is possible,
however, that they dropped from the
owners pocket.
The owner can regain his lost prop
erty by calling on Officer Rayner and
proving his ownership.

FIRE AT DODGE CITY.
