SANTA FE SURVEYING.
Proposed Southern Cut Of Is Being
investigated by Management.

F. Meredith Jones, the well known
civil engineer who for so many years
has been in the employ of the Santa Fe
railroad, is paying a brief visit to his
family, they being residents of Las
Vegas, says the Optic.
Mr.. Jones for some weeks has been
at Portales, in the recos valley, but
is now on his way to Belen, or rather
to the section of country a little south
of that place. His headquarters, how
ever, will be at Belen. He is engaged
upon the survey of what has been
called the Santa Fe cut off-a line to
leave the Pecos valley system at Por
tales, run a little north of west till il
crosses the Santa Fee a few miles south
of Belen and ultimately connects with
the Santa Fe Pacific about fifty miles
west Of Albuquerque.
The object of this cut off is to short
en- the Santa Fe route between Chica
go and California, it being claimed
that such a line will make the SAINTS
Fe fully fifty miles shorter than the
present Rock Island line. At presen,
the Rock Island is so much shorter
than the Santa Fe that it has beer
able to secure from the government
the California mail, which the Santa
Fe so long carried.
OF course, Mr.. Jones cannot say
whether the cut off line will be bull
or not. He knows hat it is being
carefully surveyed, with estimates
and that the proposed line will be
quite feasible both as to directness o.
route and cost of construction.
Much conjecture has been engaged
in concerning the effect such a cut of
would have in north-central New Mex
leo, the section through which now
runs the Santa Fe's main line. Tht
Optic does not believe that this sec
ton would be at all damaged by the
cut off. OF course, the portion of this
territory through which IL may ruI
will be largely benefited thereby, bur

TAKES THE DIFFERENCE

this viii be a benefit to the entire ter
ritory instead of damage to any part
OF 1t.
On the other hand. only fast freight
and fast through passengers and fast
through mails, would use the cut off,
All other travel and traffic would seek
the old route through the more desir-
able, healthful and picturesque por-
tons of the territory. In fact, the
Optic doubts should the cut off be con.
structed. whether the ordinary travel
er or cl,izen would see any difference
along the old line.

In Missouri and Confiscated in New
York.
Judge Clarke, of st. Louis, has con-
victed and fined heavily a lumber of
grocers for selling baking powders
containing alum.
The week before the health depart
ment Of New York seized a quantity of
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they found was alum mixed with
ground rock. and dumped it into the
river.
The health authorities are thus TAX
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into u markets of injur-
ious substitutes in place of wholesome
baking powders.
AS alum costs only 2 cents a pound,
there is a great temptation for those
manufacturers who make substitutes
and imitation goods, to use it. Alum
baking powders can be detected by the
health authorities by chemical analy-
sis. but the ordinary housekeeper,
whose assistance in protecting the
health of the people is important, a n
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders,
however, from the fact that they are
sold at from 10 to 20 cents for a pound
can. or that some prize-like a spoon,
or glass, or piece of crockery, or wood
en- ware-is given with the powder as
an inducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and consum-
ers insist on having baking powder of
established name and character, and
as the health authorities continue their
vigorous %crusades. the alum danger
will, it is hoped, finally be driven from
our homes.

RATES TO BE ADVANCED
IMPORTANT ACTION BY INSURANCE
COMPANIES AT NEW YORK.
Fire Policies to BE 25 Per Cent. Dearer
in All states East of the
Rocky Mountains.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-The Journal of
Commerce tomorrow will say that at
largely attended meeting of fire insurance
companies held Tuesday afternoon a reso-
luton was adopted providing for an ad-
vance in rates throughout the United
States east of the Rocky mountains, with
the exception of New York and its i'm
mediate vicinity.
The resolution, given by the Journal
of Commerce, gives as the reason for this
advance that losses have been very heavy
and during 1901 a remarkable number Of
fine insurance companies were forced TO
liquidate. The Paterson and Waterbury
confia grations coming on the heels of
bad year necessitated prompt action by
insurance companies. 1t was agreed that
throughout the country metioned rates
shall be advanced 25 per cent. on mercantile
stocks in all buildings except such as are
occupied as dwellings above the ground
floor and on frame store buildings; also on
all manufacturing risks and other special
hazards which have not been rated under
revised and approved schedules within one
wear.

FREE BATHS AND MORALITY.
A Paper by George Edwin Hunt, Sec
retary of Commercial Club.

'The Economic Influence of a Physically
Clean Citizen was the full subject of
George Edwin Hunts paper read before the
State Board of Commerce yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Hunt is secretary of the Com
mercial Club. His paper, in part, was as
follows:
THAT cleanliness is next to godliness
is an automatic phrase handed down TO
us from the early Hebrew fathers. Unlike
many other plausible assertions that have
been accepted incontroVertibe this one
has the inherent element Of truth, which
permits of its defense by argument. L am
not prepared TO state that all physically
clean persons are necessarily beyond re-
prOach morally but | believe it can be
successfully contended that nlne-tenths of
those arrested in every town and city in
this State would be benefited by a bath.
Crime and crime are with difficulty di-
vorced. To wash criminal population
might not result in the abolition of our
station houses, for heredity and habit COM
bined are of greater force than changed
environment, If a clean skin may be
designated a change of envil onment, but
as a general proposition "A clean person is
less likely to violate civic and moral laws
than one of the great unwashed.' clean
skin indicates a certain amount of pride.

A FELICIToUs SMOKER.

Secretary Hunt. OF the Commercial Club.
called the smoker TO order last evening
and asked Augustus L. Mason TO take the
chair. Mr.. Mason called on number OF
men for speeches, among them {. Nj. Kim
brough. of Muncie; Secretary Russell OF
the Charlottesville Commercial Club; John
w. Hoffman, of this city: c. w. Sheriff
of Muncie, and J. c. Adams and William
Fortune, of this city. They all spoke of
the purposes and accomplishments of the
State Board of Commerce.
Mr.. Fortune especially asked that Secre-
tary Murphy, of the board. and Mr.. Mason
be esteemed for their hard work in the in
terest of the State. He said Mr.. Murphy
had done more for Evansville than any
other man of that city, and that he had
been devoted TO the interests OF the state
Board OF Commerce for nVs years MT
Mason had distinguished himself by con-
structing the charter of Indianapolis,
which had taken nine months of night and
day labor.
Referring to his resolution of the after
noon, which the board adopted, Mr.. For
tune said that the present trend is 10 give
the people more of a hand and persuade
them to take more interest in their own
affairs. He thought that making necessary
popular sanctiOning of franchises would be
another step in the right direction. The
peoples rights were the only ones affected
by a franchise, and they should have the
right to protect them. The county and
township reform law, too, was a progres-
sive measure, Mr.. Fortune said 1t saved
the State $30OO,000 in the first year OF It's
operation. In this connection Mr.. Fortune
asserted that the reason the state statisu-
clans report for the second year OF the law
did not show that it had saved money for
the State that the new statistician
had been a township trustee, and that he
strenuously opposed the reform law.
After the speeches buffet luncheon was
served in the clubs dining room.
