Has President Ripley Changed
His Oriental Policy?
Santa Fe Seems to Be Preparing
to Buy Steamships.
RUSSIA is PREPARING.
Will Run Sleeping Cars From
Warsaw to Coast.
Quick Connections With Amerl-
can Railroads Needed.

1t still remains mystery what the
Santa F'e proposes to do concerning the
purchase of a trans-Pacific line of
steamers from Spreckles & Co., who
have a line which they are anxious to
sell.
1t is a well known fact that Presi-
dent Ripley has not openly favored the
competition of the Santa Fee for ORR
entail trade. When in Topeka last jan
uary he said to a reporter for the State
Journal: THE Oriental trade is an
empty shell. There is nothing in it for
the Santa Fe.'' Mr. Ripley expressed
the opinion that the roads in the north
west would be able to develop this new
opening for trade much more success
fully than the Santa Fe, because of
their geographical conditions and the
character of shipments which they are
able to handle.
The recent rumors of the deal for the
Spreckles line seems to conflict with this
former policy of President Ripley, and
the question is whether or not he has
changed his attitude on the subject Oh
Oriental trade.
Chicago railroad traffic men attach
considerable Importance to the an
nouncernent that the Russian minister
of the interior has completed arrange
ments with the International Sleeping
Car company for putting on a modern
equipment of through cars from War
saw to Port Arthur over the new Trans
siberian railway. The Russian govern
through trains from the ancient Polish
capital to the eastern terminus of its
great line on the Pacific coast. The in
formation which has come to Chicago
is that the intention is to make this line
a sharp competitor for the business be-
tween central Europe and the United
States
The activity of the American trans
continental lines in acquiring steamship
connections of their own the Pacific,
in connection with the same progressive
spirit on the part of the Russian gov
eminent is taken by railroad men to
indicate the certainty of great develop
ment in the traffic between America and
Asiatic ports. The development of the
Siberian plains is being looked forward
to as certain to create a demand for
immense quantities of the manufactures
of the United States.
American roads are watching all the
moves in northern Europe and each one
of the lines now reaching the Pacific
coast and it's connections which give ac-
cess to the interior of the United States

BoDY's DAILY FUEL SUPPLY.

Man needs a certain amount of food
to run his body. just as an engine needs
coal, water, oil and repairs. Starch is
by far the most important part of mans
diet, this coal being about four times
the required quantity of .'oil and re-
pairs" Starchy foods should be dex-
trinized, however, as they overwork the
stomach. The easiest, most appetizing
and best way to secure the necessary
starch is through the use of that thor
oughly cooked cereal. Toasted Wheat

trinized food-ideal in that it gives the

EXPRESS coMBINArIo
Big Companies May Exchange Sc
curities in Common Pool.

New York, Aug. ia combination
of express companies is believed to be
practically an accomplished fact A re-
port is current that a basis has already
been reached for the exchange of Sc
curities of the several companies. The
express business has been particularly
profitable of late years. a fact in evil
dence of the high prices at which the
various express companies stocks sell
in the open market. Wells, Fargo s.
Co issued balance sheet today show
ing the profits of it's banking business
during the last fiscal year. This COM
pany transacts a banking business as
well as an express business, having it's
main bank in San Francisco, with
branches in New York, Salt Lake City
and Portland, Ore. 1t has a capital
stock invested in the banking business
of $500, 900. During the fiscal year just
ended undivided profits showed an in
crease of a little over 81, 100000, or m ore
than 400 per cent. on the banking cap
1tal. There is also shown an increase
of almost $500, 900 in the value of bonds
and stocks owned by the banking de-
partment of the company. The express
business is extremely profitable, and it
is said that Wells, Fargo & Co. as well
as other companies, show profits from
the express business of from Is to 40
per cent. on the capital stock.

Low RATES FOR BRITISH.
Their Army Officers May Get q. s..
Army Rates.

Transcontinental Passenger associa-
ton roads have been asked by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
to authorize the same reduction in rates
for officers of the British army and
navy as are made for American officers
Strange as this request may appear at
first sight, it is not made on account of
any lack of patriotism on the part of
purpose of getting share of the bust
ness The Canadian Pacific makes half
rates over its lines for these officers.
and consequently has been getting all
the business. If placed on an equality
the American roads think they might
get a share. Should their request be
denied, it is probable they will take in
dependent action in making the rates.

SPLENDID RACING.
Seasons TrOtting and Racing
Records Broken at Brighton.

New York, Aug. 15.-Seven thousand
spectators today saw splendid series
of contests. in which the best trotting
and pacing records for the season in
races were made. IN the first race of
the 2:10 novelty trOt. Susie j. won the
second heat in 2:0611, and in the special
race between Prince Alert and Anacon-
da the former paced in 2:03A- The best
previous records of the season in races
were The Monk trotting 2:07 and Dan
Patch, pacing 2:03A.
The fastest time of the season made
against the watch, by Dan Patch, 2:00%,
was duplicated.
1t was the gala day of the Grand
Circuit meet at Brighton Beach. and
but for a rather stiff breeze the pacing
record might have gone.
The 2:10 trot was the opener. and be-
fore the first heat Fereno sold at so tc
80 for the field. Aggie Medium had the
pole. Louise Mac took the lead, with
Fereno at her wheel and York Boy
within striking distance. The race was
close, but Louise Mac was never head
ed and she won by two lengths. In this
heat, Susie J. finished seventh, yet she
was an even money choice for the sec
ond heat. and with the word she shot
off to the quarter in 81 seconds and to
the half in 1:011k, with York Boy and
F'ereno fighting it out for second place.
The fayorite came home six lengths
ahead, showing up in 2:06A. York Boy
was 6 to choice for the third heat.
and, after All Right had led to the half,
he went to the front and the race was
over.
The Brighton S., 600 purse for the 2:1O
PAGERS had a big field, yet Twinkle sold
for 500 to $3.50 for the field. Don Derby
started out in the most sensational
style and led the field to the half in
101H and came home in 2:06. with Ter
race Queen three lengths back. He
was now the choice at to l and again
led to the half in 1:011s, but at the dis
lance Twinkle shot to the front and
won by an open length.
1t was now 100 to so on Twinkle. yet
it was a close call. as she only won the
next heat by neck from You Bet. In
the deciding heat Twinkle had it all
her own way.
The talent laid 100 to % on Prince
Alert against Anaconda The race was
hardly ever in doubt, as the favorite led
all the way in each heat.
For the special it was announced that
Dan Patch would be AGAINST his own
record of 2:00% and Star Pointers rec
ord of 1:59A- Re was accompanied by
two runners He went to the quarter
in :30A and to the half in 1:00A. The
three-quarters was passed in 49, and
he came home without pressure in 2:00%
equaling his record.
For the PA pace noveltys the roam
gelding Albert was the choice at even
money for the first heat and he beat a
poor field in 2:111z. For the second heat
Orrin C. was an even money favorite
but Free Advice won by six lengths.
Dick Wilson was a to favorite for
the third heat, but it was won by Orrin
B. in the slow time of 2:13z.

STORIES ABOUT HoLDREaE.
General Manager of the Burlington
Lines is Popular.

George w. Holdrege, general mana
ger of the Burlington lines west of the
Missouri river, is in town for few
days, says the Denver Times. He is
probably the most popular general man
ager in the country with his employees.
Another characteristic is that he out
rivals, the late Horace Greeley in the il
legibility of his handwriting.
One day Mr.. Holdrege was at a small
station in Nebraska. He wrote a mes
sage for General Superintendent Cal
vert and turned it over to the operator
and walked out. The operator studied
the message but could not decipher it,
He was in a quandary. He hated to go
to the general manager and ask what
the message was, but there was no 9TH
er alternative, and he did so. Mr.. Hold
redge took the message, looked at it
carefully and then handed it back, say
ing:
what I wanted to say
Then he dictated the message.

asked about the work and then made a
suggestion. The Irish section boss
took exceptions and remarked some
thing about cheap hoboes'' giving them
pointers.

gestions from cheap hoboes,' returned
Mr.. Holdrege.
A few minutes later Mr. Ho1drege's

OVER-PRODUCTION.

THE March issue of The En-
gineering Magazine has for its
leader powerful paper by George
H. Hull, setting forth the mis-
chievous nature of the popular
fallacy of over-production, and
showing how any temporary sur.
plus production really acts as a
reservoir to equalize the inequali-
ties in consumption. The impor
tance of right conception of
these fundamental facts is set forth
most effectively.
Mr.. Mcfarland begins series
of papers upon the development
of economy in marine engineering,
richly illustrated, and his espec
iaI facilities to present this subject
will be appreciated. Mr.. Long
muir will add to his already estab
lished reputation by his appeal to
work en- to be governed by reason
rather than their emotions in the
consideration of their rights and
position. The valuable paper by
Mr.. Sydney F. Walker upon elec
trio power in shipyards discusses
the use of electric power for oper-
ating small tools, thus effectively
supplimenting his paper of the
previous month; while MIR. A
Cooper Key discusses railway con-
ditions in the Transvaal and shows
the method which may be adopted
to reopen and control transport
To these are added most useful
article by Mr.. Kenneth Falconer
upon methods of filing shipping
and manufacturing orders, and

ting of fuels and fine mineral ores

AGAIN it is announced-this time
with more appearance of truth than
usual, but without any basis of fact,
that the 'air line from Denver to
Cripple Creek will be built. This
is called the air line because so
much of it is hot air. The sur
veyed line winds up the steep sides
of the canon of the Platte river,
and while it is the most direct
route in the mum ber of miles to be
traversed, we doubt whether much
better time over it could be made
than is made now by way of the
Rio Grande and the Short Line.

whole thing is in the air, for Pres
