Denver Gateway Opened.

The Denver gateway of the Union Paclflc,
which has remained closed since 1896, has
been thrown open to the Rock Island road
both for freight and passenger traffic, and
to the Burlington for freight traffic. This
radical change in the policy of the Union
Pacific caused great surprise at Chicago
yesterday when it became generally known
and led to much speculation as to the cause.
An official Of the Hartman lines stated
that there was nothing to be said regarding
the matter, except that the Denver gateway
was now wide open and that ii remained
for the Rock Island officials to say how ex-
tensively it would be used for Pacific coast
business. The new agreement regarding
traffic was entered into early in August,
but has been kept fairly close secret until
yesterday.
The great advantage TO the Rock Island
will come in traffic destined for North Pa
cifc coast points, which hitherto has been
river, the latter company refusing TO &C
cept IL at Denver. Under the new ar
rangementS the Rock Island will enjoy the
long haul on all of this business, thereby
securing an added advantage of over 1000
miles.
An official of the Hartman lines stated
the management had decided that condi-
lions had changed since the closing of the
Denver gateway, and that there was no
good reason why the roads east of the river
should not have the long haul on traffic
originating in their territory. For one
traffic west of Denver by the Union Pacific
had greatly decreased, and this and other
new conditions made IL good policy to
throw the Denver gateway open.

OUTLOOK is PROMISING
ALL LINES OF BUSINESS INDICATE
GENERAL PROSPERITY.
Fruits and Vegetables Have Never
Sold LOwer-Grain Market Active
and Steady Prices Ruled.

Wholesale merchants who speak con-
servatively say that they do not remember
a fall in which the business outlook has
been more promising. The country is well
supplied with money. The farmers are
prosperous and labor in all branches is
employed and well paid Prosperity seems
to be in all lines of trade and steady but
not exorbitant prices are the rule. Fruits
and vegetables never sold lower. Flour,
very important item in living, sells low
and cereals of all kinds are on the decline,
and with this, the consumption increases.
In prices yesterday, there were but few
changes. Staple groceries ruled steady,
the tendency to higher prices for sugars
being apparently checked. The dry goods
houses are doing a healthy fall business,
as are the milliners and dealers in hats,
caps, boots and shoes, all combining to
make business active. Confectioners report
their trade as excellent and daily improv-
ing On Commission row, trade yesterday
was more active than last week, and sum-
ming all up, there is little room for COM
plant on the part of the merchant, the
producer or the consumer of the necessary
articles of Sustenance.

The railroads are now face to face with a
lack Of freight engines to move their BUSH
ness. Fall crops have not yet begun to
move, but complaint of a shortage in mo-
tive power is heard, and traffic officials
fear this cause may lead TO more conges-
ton in business than did the car shortage
which is now practically overcome by an
increase of 5000 cars in the last few
months and the operation of the per diem
plan. 1t is true that the new engines are
capable of hauling more cars per train,
but the new cars are larger. a railroad
official who is connected with one Of the
large Eastern systems says that after a
careful survey of the field he is satisfied
that the roads as a whole have not suffi-
cient equipment to take care of the bust
ness that is now In sight, and which may
reasonably be expected during the coming
winter. 1t is pointed out that the increase
in the tonnage of freight business of the
country has increased enormously during
the last year or two. That the railroad
managers are alive to the necessity for
providing more engines Is evidenced by the
large number of orders for new locomotives
that are placed daily. One compilation of
such orders given during the week shows
that they amounted to nearly 600. Out of
this total of new locomotives contracted
for over 400 were freight engines All sec
tons Of the country are represented by the
lines placing these orders.

Southern Indiana Scenery.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
An item in to-day's Journal is headed
Indiana Scenery" in which the Rev. Allan
b. Philputt speaks glowingly of the scenery
about Madison and Hanover. The writer
has no desire to detract anything from
these points. but If Mr.. Philputt will come
TO New Albany we will agree to show him
from the knobs back of New Albany
views that will surpass any he has mem
toned. Those from Bald Knob and
"Orolo Heights" are not so wild as Swift
zerland affords but as fine. At night, when
the lights in New Albany, Jeffersonyille and
Louisville are on, the scene from these view
points is enchanting.

Tracing Passenger Trains.

A system of tracing detention of pas
senger trains and keeping a record there
of has been adopted by the Pennsylvania,
which promises to prove of inestimable
value to engineers. Passenger detention
sheets, as furnished by the average oper-
ating office, extremely meager to
details. They also lack originality and do
not serve as practical permanent records.
For example, train may leave Pittsburg
for Columbus thirty minutes late and ar
rive at Columbus ten minutes late. The
assumption would be that only twenty
minutes had been made up AS a fact, the
engineer may have gained the thirty min
utes and lost additional ten. Under
these conditions 1T is customary to credit
the engineer with having gained twenty
minutes. The cause of the ten minutes
detention or delay is not taken into ac-
count. The Panhandle recently had this
fact brought forcibly to the front. No. 2,
running from Columbus to Pittsburg, in
variably left the former place late. The
time, however, was usually made up. The
trouble, 1t was found, lay with the con-
nection of No from Indianapolis. That
train left Indianapolis usually on time,
but made It's connection late. After inveS-
tigation it was learned the trouble lay in
passing the fast mail, No. IL, on the In
dianapolis division. By means of the new
detention records ii was not difficult to de-
termine the cause of the trouble.
