Geha Els Of Politics Rule Us.

The Rev. Dr. W. r. Richards, pastor Of
the Brick Presbyterian Church. preached
yesterday morning on "Gehazi. the Mer
cenary Man." in the course OF which he
touched on the city campaign. The one
issue in that. he said, is whether or not
we want the city in the hands of men whose
one idea is to get money for themselves
and for their friends. Said Dr.. Richards
At this election there is just one issue be-
fore US. Try as We NAV. II IL impossible
TO avoid this question: DO we wish to put
the government Of this city into the hands
OF men whose one idea Of politics is money
friends, money out of the honor OF their
friends, the purity Of women I call no
names. but every sane man knows that is
the one issue. Shall We turn the government
OF this city over to Gehazi?

Santa Fe Doing Business in
Second hand Goods.
Closes Out It's Old Engines and
Steel Rails
MOFFATT BUYS RAILS.
Will Use Them in the Line to
Daggett.
MOFFATT BUYS RAILS.
Santa Fe Putting in so Pound
Steel on West End.

From current reports it would seem
that the Santa Fe has gone into the
second hand business quite extensively.
It recently sold to a South American
railway a lot of 100 wornout locono-
tives, to be patched up and used on the
lines in South and Central America. Ac-
cording to the San Rernardino Sun, it
has now sold all of its wornout rails to
the Moffatt line. The Sun says:
The Santa F'e is selling a large por-
ton of its 7O-pound steel rails to the
Salt Lake road, and the latter is lay
ing the same between Daggett and
Caliente for sidings and switches along
the line. Several carloads of the second
hand iron have passed through the local
yards and more are to follow.
The Santa F'e is replacing all its track
age with 8O-pound rails, that is to say,
that portion of the road not already
built of that weight of steel. Some 40
miles of track on the second district, be-
tween this city and Los Angeles, is be-
ing gradually torn up, and 1t is a por-
ton of this displaced steel that is being
sold to the Salt Lake. Not all is being
disposed of, the Santa Fe utilizing part
of it in the laying of side tracks and
switches. In connection with this re-
construction work. it is announced that
before January 1 there will not be q
foot of road in this section which will
not be of the 80-pound variety.
Besides the second hand steel which IS
being shipped from this vicinity the Salt
Lake is receiving a large amount OF like
material from the east each week. And IN
connection with the arrival of the eastern
steel is the beginning of the delivery Of
400 flat cars which the new transcontinen-
tai line has ordered from Chicago. Six OF
these cars loaded with rails arrived at
Daggett over the Santa Fe, this week,
and it is announced that trains Of about
10 cars will arrive weekly until the entire
lot is delivered Arriving at Daggett, or
at whatever point along the line most con-
venient to the track layers, the cars are
unloaded and added to the permanent
equipment of the road.
Word received from the contractors
camps at Daggett and Caliente is to the
effect that the work of track laying IS
progressing rapidly. The machines for the
laying of rails, which are being used on
the line for the first time in western rail-
road building, are proving great success.
The monsters are putting down something
like three miles Of track each day. me
graders had a good start before the laying
Of ties began and are still ahead OF the
machines. When the rails are first laid
they are only lightly tackled in place and
are Strengthened and spiked after the ma
chine is out of the way. From now on the
company anticipates no dfffieuIty in Sc
curing all the material needed to keep
work steadily in progress.
From five to ten car loads OF ties pass
through the local yards each night on the
way from San Pedro to the scene of con

where Are the Big Engines ?

Press reports from Chicago and To-
peka continue to circulate through the
country announcing that the first of the
monster engines manufactured by the
Baldwins for the Santa Fe has been de-
llvered at the southern terminus of the
southern California coast division, says
the San Bernardino Tines-Index. De-
spite these reports local officials deny
that they have heard of the receipt of
one of the engines. Last week a Point
Richmond paper quoted the master me
chanic there as adn1iring one of the
monsters which he had steamed into
Needles. A press report from Emporia,
Kansas, declares that to the Santa F'e
seventy engines of the 900 Glass;
weighing fifteen tons more than the
famous decapods which were the largest
engines in the world year ago have
been delivered. The closest calculations
heretofore have given it that the Santa
Fe has only ordered forty-five of these
big engines, and the statement that
seventy have already been delivered
seems like a wild dream of the night
In speaking of the arrival of the mon
sters assigned to this division, General
Foreman Hicks of the locomotive de-
partment, states it as his belief that
the first will be delivered on this divis-
ion about the first OF the year

EXPENSES WERE HEAVY.
N. z. & T. Has the Prevailing
Trouble With N ct Earnings.

The September statement of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas indicates a sur
plus after charges for the twelve months
ending September 80 amounting to $S13,30S
compared with $1,099.916 for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1903. Of the Il months net
earnings, interest, rentals and taxes alb
sorbed about five-sixths.
During the three months following the
close of the fiscal year gross earnings in
creased only $15,0S5. Owing to the large
increase in expenses net earnings fell off
S251, 904, or Is per cent. The loss in surplus
was 1886, COS. or CT per cent.
Last year the fixed charges of the COM
pany amounted TO s4-0S4710, of which So
291, 1876 was interest on bonds. Net earn
ings were s., 1S4, 627, leaving a comparative
ly small margin of safety for interest.
The roads grain tonnage this fall and
winter should be about as large as last
year. In Missouri and Kansas the corn
crop will be less than a year ago, but in
Texas, where a large portion of the mile
age lies. the corn crop is about twice as
large as last year. The road should also
benefit from the record wheat crop in
Kansas.

MoFFATr's NEW PLAN.
Would Get Mexican Line to Connect
With Orient.

1t is reported that number of Colo
RADIO capitalists of whom David Moffat
is the head, will make application to
the Mexican government for con-
cession to build and operate a road
from the border of the state of Sonora
and the United States south to the city
of Guadalaiara, connecting there with
the Mexican Central. The road will
start at Douglas and pass through the
the Yaoui river to the Gulf of Cali
fornia, from there south to the port of
Topolobampo there connecting with
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient rail-
road, and from there farther south and
up the Guadalajara valley. The road
will be known under the name of the
Mexican & Pacific coast line, the en-
tire length of which will be about L.,
500 miles, touching and penetrating the
richest and most fertile portions of
Mexico Astounding in minerals as well
as agricultural wealth. and a wholly
virgin country. The promoters of the
road expect to receive the concession
shortly.

WOMAN IN a BOX CAR.
With Her Child She Travelled to 81
Paso, Texas

A local switch crew this morning in
switching train of cars came across a
woman and a child who had been fast
ened in a box car and sent to Ell Paso
from the east, says the Ell Paso Herald.
The woman was not a tramp in the
ordinary sense of the word but in her
statements to the switch crew she said
that she was in destitute circumstances
and had conceived the idea that if she
could beat her way to Ell Paso with her
child she could probably get something
to do.
She was taken care of temporarily by
the big hearted switchman and will
probably be able to get something to do
in this city, or secure help from the citi-
zens so that she may go somewhere else
without riding in a box car.

May Cut Down Rates to 2
Cents a Mile.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov 27lThe rail-

another battle over passenger mileage
IN the legislature which convenes here

stood a member of the lower house
will take the lead in the fight for its
passage there. There are now in Iowa
9,415 miles of road valued at $51, 307, ESQ.,
A greater enemy to the steam railroad
than threatened legislation is the rapid
ly increasing mileage of the interurban
which, wherever it is found, is pulling
from the patronage of the steam roads.
