PAUL MoRToN's ORDER.
Says the New Freight Rate Agree
ment Must Be Enforced

New York. Feb. 1.-Instructions from
headquarters are reaching the Broad
way agents of the western and trans
continental railroads to allow no re-
auctions or concessions of any kind to
shippers of freight, and each agent is
required to make it clear to business
men that the western roads intend to
give the new rate agreement a thorough
and fair trial
According to President S. NJ. FELTON,,
of the Chicago & Alton, and Vice Pres
ident Paul Morton, of the Atchison,
the new agreement to maintain rates
is to be enforced rigidly. and any traffic
manager or freight agent, east or west,
caught cutting rates will be discharged.
The order to make no concessions to
shippers means that there must be~no
free transportation, no presents" and
no implied favors of any kind offered
by freight agents to shippers. For the
past two years complaints have been
exchanged between some of the western
railroads that their respective Broad
way agents were making presents of
considerable value to persons who could
influence shipments. On one occasion
these presents" took the form. it is al

rs THERE A LARGER ONE P
Santa Fe Decapods Said to Have q
Superior in Size.

Are the massive compound decapods
recently received at the Santa Fe yards
in this city the largest locomotives in
the world? says the Albuquerque Jour-
nal-Democrat. Ever since Vice Presi-
dent Kendrick submitted plans for the
monster and it was turned out of the
Schenectady works, papers which have
made mention of the machine have in
variably stated that it is the largest the
world has ever seem But in the Rail-
road Trainmen'S Journal appears a cut
of an engine turned out by the Pitts
burg Locomotive works advertised as
the heaviest and most powerful engine
in the world, and several railroad men
say that it will outweigh the decapod.
A local trainman has written the
Brotherhood of Trainmen's magazine
sending its editor figures regarding the
No. 1855 dimensions, and asking wheth-
er or not it can be matched in size.

MAY NOT BUILD BRIDGE
Rock Island Likely to Use Bates
Bridge at z. O.

H A. Parker, first vice president of
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad, who was at the Union depot
this n orning on his way to Texas, says
the Kansas City Star, said with regard
to the Rock Islands plans in Kansas
City:
THE Rock Island is preparing to
enter Kansas City over it's own tracks
Regarding the proposition to how We
will cross the Missouri river at this
point. I am hardly prepared to make a
definite statement. We have a bill in
congress asking authority to build a
bridge, but we may use the Bates bridge
if it is completed. I do not know of any
material reason why a new bridge
should be built by the Rock Island.
There are two bridges here now, and
the completion of the Bates bridge, if
it is completed, will make a third
bridge. A lease of track rights over
the Bates bridge would fill our purpose.
We are now using the Hannibal & St.
Joseph railroad bridge, but it has been
deemed advisable to terminate that
arrangement, hence the introduction
into congress of bill authorizing a
new depot

TOO HARD FOR USE.
Santa Fe Chemists Turn Down the
Wellington Water Supply.

Wellington, Kan, Feb. 2-Santa F'e
railroad chemists at Topeka have fin
ished an analysis of the water taken
from different sources in Wellington,
and have arrived at the conclusion that
for the most part the water is too hard
for practical use in their engine boilers.
Especially is this true of the water ia
ken from the two wells the roads eX-
pert, William Archer. had bored east
of the passenger depot month ago.
The samples of water taken for
analysis by the road came from the
Santa Fe wells, the Rock Island well,
Hunters well and Slate creek. The
water from the creek was found to be
the softest, yet it is labeled poor by
the chemists.
In a letter to Supt Whisenand of
the Panhandle division here, Archer,
who took the water to Topeka to have
it analysed, says:
1.-The creek water is the best of all
the water. but it is hardly fit for boiler
use. Hunter and Rock Island water are
poor, while that taken from our wells is
positively bad"
1t is believed that had the Santa Fe
wells been pumped more thoroughly the
water would have become softer. While
it is believed that the Hunter we'll and
the Rock Island well are fed from the
same stream from which the Santa Fe
wells receive their supply, yet the water
in the latter wells is found to be much
harder. The Rock Island well has been
in use for years, and the Hunter well
Santa Fe wells, or had been at the time
the water was taken from them for
ANALYSIS.
I'VE have an opinion" said Mr.
Whisenand today, that If our wells
had been given a more thorough test
the water would have been softer. We
intend to have the machinery put in
again and the water pumped out for
several days. Then another analysis will
be made. The water comes through
sand and gravel and we are at a loss
to know what makes it so hard"
The result of the analysis will result
in wells being bored in other sections
of the town by the Santa F'e should the
plan to pump more water from the wells
prove it becomes no softer. The road
specialists are convinced that there is
plenty of water available here, but they
want it to be of a less violent nature be-
fore they use it in their boilers.
Mayor Hunter has a sample of the
water from his we'll at the state uni
verSity for analysis.

Theory of the Santa Fee Regarding
$3O.Ooo.OOO Bond Issue.

A director of the Santa Fe road who
has had much to do with the recent issue
of debenture bonds, in speaking of the
reasons that led to that issue, said: 1.-THE
Issue was made by the unanimous vote of
the directory, all members being present
butA three, who would unQueStionably have
voted affirmatively If present. 1t seemed
to them a wise and conservative thing to
do, and I do not think any of them have
large unmortga ged assets, and it would
have been quite feasible to issue col
lateral trust bond, and the necessary
equipment could have been provided in
the car trust plan, but our preference was
for short obligations. which we could ex-
tinguish in L years We believed. and
still believe, that the returns we will get
from the $50 COS. 600 will suffice to pay IN
terest and principal without regard to
present earnings.
I'VE fail to see any connection between
this issue and our recent action in put
ting the common stock a 4 per cent
basis. There must certainly be some limit
to the extent to which the money of
stockholders may be withheld from them
us that we had about reached that limit
when we showed that in five years we

additions to property.

Proposed Santa Fe 1mprovemen ts.

Extensions of the Santa Fee the cost
of which is to be provided for out of
the recent issue of bonds, include the
following: The eastern Oklahoma cut
off is to be built from Cedarvale. Kan,
to PauPs Valley Ind. T., almost a
straight line, running through very fer
tile territory. This is to be a road with
low grades and is intended for extern
sive through trade to the gulf well
as local traffic. The local traffic will
make the road a profitable feeder for
the main line. The extension of the
Montgomery branch connects the gulf
division of AtchiSOn with the Gulf,
Beaumont and Kansas City lines, which
were acquired year ago. The branch
taps the long-leaf pine lands of eastern
Texas, which supply ties for not only
the whole Santa Fe system, but also
nearly all other western roads. The
Kirby Lumber company, which owns 80
per cent of the lands, has begun their
development on a large scale, and the
Santa Fe expects large increase in
profits from this branch, which is on a
paying basis at the outset. Among the
details of the Santa F'e'S intended inn
provements there is the continued re-
duction of grades on the freight line be-
tween Kansas City and La Junta to a
maximum of twenty-one feet to the
mile; the purchase of several hundred
oil-tank cars for the transportation of
oil from the Beaumont fields and the
wells of southern CalifoT MIA, and of a
large number OF cars to replace those
hitherto obtained from other lines, the
aggregate mileage paid for the use OF
these alien cars having been over ST.
900 900 in 1901. The heaviest item, how
ever, will be locomotives. which will be
purchased from the Baldwin and Amer
lean Locomotive companies.
