heavy Tor the rails. MOet OF the
wrecks. as II happens. have occurred
where there are already heavy rails In
use. An examination of the track
where the wrecks have happened fails
to show that the rails are injured or
turned over"
The fact that the Santa Fe has de-
termined to replace all the light rails
on the entire system indicates very
clearly. however, that they are not CIV
ing satisfaction. and oven though 30
far the wrecks may have not been &C.
casioncd by the light rails, the evident
intention is to avoid further possibility

GRANT COUNTY COLLECTIONS.
Taxes for First Halt Of 1902 Old Not
Come up TO Expectatlon.

The collections in Grant county on
the first half Of the tax roll OF 1902 did
not by any means come up to the ex-
pectations of Collector Witzel or the
hoard of county commissioners. the
comparative decrease being in round
numbers about $4,000. In explanation
OF this Collector witzel says:
This decrease is accounted for par.
TALLY by the fact that many of the
smaller tax pa.'ers have not paid. as Is
evidenced by the fact that only $40
tax receipts were issued this year as
against 663 for the corresponding
period last year. but the greater por-
ton of tn, deficit Is caused by the fail.
ure of the larger corporations, and par.
ticularly the railroad companies Ia
forward the first half of their taxes.

HEAVIER RAILS.
All Light Rails or santa Re system
Must Go.

In conversation with o reporter for
the Topeka State journal, General
Manager II. u. Nudge. of the Santa Fe,
stated that during the year 1903 the
Santa Fe will lay 1886 miles of new To-
pound rails on the lines between Chi
cago and Albuquerque.
The new rails will replace the 65, &C
and 71-pound rails now In use at vari.
Gus places on the line. BY 1904 II Ia
the intention of the Santa Fee company
to have no rails on it's lines of less
than ~ pounds weight.
About seventeen miles OF new rails
will be put In between Topeka ana Car
bendale, replacing the lighter rails
now In use. II was at Wakarusa, be.
tween Topeka and Carbondale. that
the last disastrous wreck occurred, and
by some the cause of the wreck Is be,
lieved to be the fact that the rails were
too light for the fast and heavy passen.

About twenty-five miles of the new
75-pound rails will be used In double
tracking the Emporia cut of. This
will he nearly enough to complete the
double line of steel from Kansas City
to Emporia.
The Santa Fee main line from Chi.
cago to Peoria viii also be double
tracked
II Is also stated by General Manager
Nudge that similar plans for replacing
the light rails with 75-poundders are
perfected for the Santa Fe coast lines
but he was unable to state the exact
number of miles which will have to be
changed. The plan Is to make the u.s.
pound rail the minimum Of weight for
all of the Santa Fe system.
Cause Of Wrecks.
There IL a general belief with the
public that the cause Of many of tine
recent Santa Fe wrecks Is the practice
OF running heavy engines on rails

that the company has acquired tract
Of land five miles east OF san Antonio

words, they will start another town.
According to Mr.. Van Week. this was
the only c~drse left the company. as
the city of San Antonio has harassed

removal of the yards and shops will
mean great loss to San Antonio.
The mayor of San Antonio has writ
