and the Southwest are in their infancy

1t will be interesting to note how the
Rio Grande lines will view the aggres-
sive California policy of the Rock Is
lands subOrdinating the middle route
to the West to the Southern route, and
should 1t be done there may be a rup-
ture in their relations.
Officials of the Santa Fe assert that
they do not view the advent of the
Rock Island into the California field
with apprehension on account of the
una desert, which interveneS between
FL Paso and the coast 1t is a desert
proposition, however, whatever route is
taken, and there is a difference only in
tfe degree of discomfort undergone.
On the whole it is said that the Rock
Island is extremely solicitous for the
future of its new line into Texas and
the connection which it shall make
through to the West.
The Santa F'e appears to entertain
the same feeling. The Rock Island has
the advantage of having the short line
as compared with the Santa Fe, and in
addition, an alliance, temporarily at
least, with the Southern Pacific which
IS the Santa Fe'S particular adversary
in Southern California. The two things
have stirred up the antagonism of the
Santa Fe and are said to be RESPONSE
bic for the determination to parallel
the Rock Islands Texas line.

UNFORTUNATE ENe11sHMAN
Does Not Like to Ride in American
Sleeping Cars.

One Englishman at least is not fasci-
mated with the American sleeping car.
AT a recent banquet in London the man
ager of the Hull & Barnsley line in re-
spending to the toast Railways of the
United Kingdom clearly indicated that
he was not enamored of everything
American.
The American sleeping car he singled
out as an abOminable affair. He said
he remembered we'll his first experience
in one OF them There were about 20
persons in the car, six or seven women,
and no two persons We're related. They
sat about and presently had to be shift
ed from seat to seat while the various
berths were being made up. He stared
out of the window until he was tired
because women were fitting about in q
more or less incomplete state of attire.
There was nothing in England. he
said, so incomplete as the American
sleeping car system and he would not
be surprised if some Americans came
over to England to pick up a wrinkle or
two. He also told Americans plainly
that all the ability, all the energy and
all the genius was not theirs-a good
deal of it was left in England

MORE FAST RUNS.
Santa Fe No. Cuts Down Mile Record
to "A Seconds

General Superintendent Hurley has
filed with General Passenger Agent w.
j. Black some more records of fast
runs made by the Santa F,e California
Limited and Chicago Limited between
La Junta and Dodge City.
On January l. No. 4, the Chicago
Limited, cut down the mile record TO
A seconds.
On January Is, No. 4, drawn by an
other engine, made 64 miles an hour.
Superintendent Hurley considers that
the record made by No. 8, the west
bound limited, is wonderful one, in
view of the fact that No. has an up
grade pull. and made it's record under
unfavorable conditions.
The distance between Dodge City and
La Junta is 202 miles. and the state
ment of average speed given by Mr..
Hurley is for the entire distance of 202
miles. In the following statement the

I'D. HAMILTON TALKS.
Tells Los Angeles Express About
Santa Fe Claims Department.


J. d. NJ Hamilton, claims attorney
for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway, was in Los Angeles few days
ago. His visit is one of inspection of
the Pacific coast department of claims
of the Santa F'e system. While in Los
Angeles Mr.. Hamilton was interviewed
by a reporter for the Los Angeles EX-
press. The Express gives a prominent
place to the interview. Referring to the
charter of the claims coming within his
department, Mr.. Hamilton said: Gases
in my department are wholly for in
jurieS, either to passengers or employees.
The latter outnumber the former by
more than ten to one, but even they
have been minimiZed greatly during the
past year. The employees are becoming
more familiar with the machinery in
use in the yards, where the creates
number of injuries are sustained. The
improved methods now in use through
out our yards have aided greatly in re-
ducing the liability of accidents to the
workmen along the Santa F'e system.
Carelessness is generally the cause Of
accidents among the employees, but as
compared with the records of the past
there is evidence that the men are
either more careful or more adept in
their special departments of work
Accidents to passengers frequently
are the result of careleSSnesS of en-
ployes but the claims for passenger in
juries, and for that matter employees
as well, on the steam railroads of the
United States is less than the percent
The percentage of accidents in the street
car omnibus carriage and steamer is
much greater in proportion to the num-
Der employed and persons carried.
am stating facts which can be verified
by the statistics compiled by the rail-
road commissioners of the different
states. Many will take exception to
these statements of facts, but 1 am in a
position to know the exact situation in
all the roads throughout the United
States. The modern appliances now in
use on all the trains have contributed
toward the protection of the passenger
as much as the employe, and the result
is easily seen in the decrease of the
claims.
I'VE endeavor to settle all claims out
of court. 1t is the belief of the Santa
F'e people that the settlement of all just
claims without resorting to legal pro-
cedure puts the public in an amicable
frame of mind toward the road, and
they wish to be friendly to the patrons
of their system. This result seldom is
attained if there is any unnecessary
pickering. Frauds and doubtful cases
the only ones the Santa F'e people
carry to the courts

SUPPLIES SEVERAL TOWNS.
lola Thinks the Missouri Pacific Has
Too Much of a Good Thing.

Too Much of Good Thing.
The lola Register wants the Missouri:
Pacific to pay for the water it gets. 1t
saws:
1T will be remembered that at the
time lola bought the water rights on the
Neosho river and put in good water
works plant, it was understood that the
Missouri Pacific would probably take
city water, paying the city a small rev.
enue for the same. But no further ar
rangement was ever made. The city
has the plant and the water, but the
railroad has never made any terms for
using it and continues its pumping
plant at the river.
Not only does it supply the trains
which pass through here, but the Pa
cific has a long water train which hauIS
to Gas City. At Yates Center the en-
gines for the road are supplied with
lola water. At LaHarpe train loads OF
water are hauled and emptied into the
big dry pond, from which part is used
by the Smelter and part SoakS into the
ground. At Gas City the same trouble
is arising.
There is no reason why lola should
be hoggish, nor is there any reason for
her to be idiotic The Missouri Pacific
railway induced the factories which
went east of lola to go there where that
wise lola would have had more of them.
Now the road is hauling train loads of
water out on the hills to supply the fac
tories. And every drop of it is lola city
water, bought and paid for by lola. And
the Missouri Pacific ought to pay for ev
cry drop Of it. Not big, ruinous price,
but a reasonable compensation. 1t is
only right and fair and Just and the
city ought to get after the road with
hot poker and make proper terms"

EXTRAORDINARY MERIT
OF a New Catarrh Cure.

Physicians are slow to take up new and
untried remedies until their value has
been esta blished by actual experiment and
they are naturally skeptical of the many
new preparations constantly appearing
and for which extravagant claims are
made
The most liberal and enlightened physi-
clans are always ready, however to make
a fair trial of any new specific and get at
its true medical value.
