R1D1cULEs THE ORIENT.
Railway Magazine Compares Port
Stilwell to Port Arthur.

The Railway Review, which is not
noted for its friendship to the Orient
railway project, hands out the follow
ing jolt in its last issue:
THE reported establishment of
steamship arrangement between the
Kansas City. Mexico & Orient Railway
and the Hamburger-Ame Steam
ship company would seem to be a lit
tie previous, particularly as it is ex-
pected or at least asserted. by those
interested therein, that the port of To-
polobampo. which is the Pacific end of
the railway, will Immediately assume
portion of the transpacific trade. One
can not stop remembering in this con-
nection that somewhat similar predic-
tions were made concerning a certain
port on the Gulf coast, in connection
with the railroads in Kansas City.
which, although greatly advertised,
failed to materialize- 1t is, however,
to be expected that the regularly es-
tablished lines at more northern ports
will proceed to go out of business be-
cause of this new venture, although it
is certain there is not enough traffic to
warrant the creation of another line.
1t will be a good many months before
the railroad itself is completed and it
will then be found that it takes some
thing besides a deep-water harbor and
a railroad connection to establish a
profitab BILE ocean traffic. If an example
is wanted. San Diego and Port Still
well can furnish them. The first named
especially is unsurpassed in all things
that go to make I'D an ideal port, ex-
cept the one item of business, and some
how or other that seems to be quite
important"

srocKMEN MUST PAY.
Will No Longer Get Free Passes
Home from Market.

Chicago, Sept. 2.-Stockmen through
out the west who have for many years
been enjoying free transportation from
their homes and the shipping centers,
will find this privilege curtailed after
January 1, 1904. The executive officials
of western lines met here today and
agreed that on and after the date men
toned they would discontinue the is
suance to stockmen of return trans
portation, thereby compelling them to
buy their fare to their homes after hav-
ing come to the various shipping CEN
tiers with stock.
Before the agreement can be carried
have to be done by the traffic men,
the purpose of preparing digest of all
the laws of the various states pertain
ing to the subject of stOckmen's passes,
with a view of securing what viola
lions, if any, will result from the OBJ
servance of the order. A large number
of the western states have enacted laws
compelling the railroads to issue passes
to men in charge Of stock cars. but
there is no uniformity in the require
ments The new regulations are the
same as those in force in eastern terri
tory where the stock traffic is not near
" so great. The change is proposed
largely for the purpose of curtaihnS
the operations Of ticket scaipers. Stock

of considerable income to the scalpers,

WITHIN go DAYS.
W. r. Stubbs Will Resume Work on
the Choetaw Extension.

Tueumcari, N. NJ. Sept. at has been
positively announced by the w. r.
Stubs Construction company, who have
the contract for the AmariIlo-Tucum-
carl extension of the Choctaw railroad,
that work will be resumed again within
60 days, and all subcontractors who wish
to finish up their contracts at this point
have so been notified. Most of the sub
contractors have shipped out of here
among whom are J. w. Powell and
Jerry Connolly, who have secured work
in Missouri for couple of months. AS
soon as this is finished, they will re-
turn here and finish up their contracts
with the ChoctaW.
This follows upon the heels of the an
nouncement of the trackage alliance be-
tween the Rock Island, Santa Fe, and
E. P. & N. E railroads. and it is also
announced that the Belen cutoff will be
instantly pushed to completion.
Tucumcari will derive a great deal of
benefit from this new deal. as in addi-
ton to the regular Santa Fe traffic
which will go over the main line of the
Rock Island from Hutchinson, Kan, TO
Lano, and thence to Albuquerque, via
Belen, the business of the Southern
Kansas branch of the Santa Fe will
come through Tucumcari, over the Choc-
taw, by way of Amarillo, Texas. AS
this will be a division point for the
Choctaw, and Rock Island. it will doubt
less be the same for the Santa Fe. 1t
means that Tucumcari will have a pop
ulatiOn of six to eight thousand people
within the next two or three years.
Although the town is at present dull,
due to the stoppage of work on the
ChOctaw, there has been more building
going on than ever before. A number of
handsome cottages are going up in the
Russell Addition, and great many
more are contemplated. Work was
started last week on a handsome $4,000
brick school building, and work will be
started in October some time on a
$25, 900 court house. and $1,000 jail. The
big boilers for the electric light plant
are being made and it is the intention
of the company having this in charge
to have their light plant steam laundry
and ice plant in running order by De-
cember. The plant, when completed, will
cost something over $4,000.
A joint depot for the Santa Fe, z. P.
& n. E., Rock Island and Choclaw rail-
roads is contemplated, also joint round
houses and shops for all of these roads.
Tucumcari is destined to be the COM
mercial and railroad center of Eastern
and Central New Mexico, and as the
most desirable location of any town
along the Rock Island railroad in New
Mexico.

GIRLS MUST GO.
N Northwestern Railroad Decides to
Abolish Female Clerks.

Chicago. Ill. Sept. 2-There is con-
sternatiOn among the women employees
of the Northwestern railway. BY a gen.
eral order of the company the employ
ment of women in any capacity on the
entire system is barred. Since the is
suance of this order the women stem
ographers in the general offices of the
company have suddenly acquired do
nestle tastes and matrimonial proclivi-
ties formerly unsupported. None of the
young women has been discharged, but
they admit an uncomfortable feeling
of not being wanted. Personal stenog-
raDhers to various officials have been
relegated to the outside offices among
the general clerks. The Northwestern
officials are not adverse to the soften
ing and refining influences of women
and personally are said to regret the
ultimate loss of the women stenogra-
piers, but business is business, they
say, and it has been decided that the
women must go.
The reason for this decision is found
partially in the pension system which
naturally carries with it civil service
Women stenographers are always wo-
men stenographers. it is claimed, I'M
less they get married, and are not fit
ted for promotion under civil service
rules in force on railroads with pension
systems.

STUBBORN RAILROADS.
Fight Among Themselves About the
Mileage Book System.

Chicago, Sept. 2-The fight in the
Western Passenger association over the
adoption of new mileage book is be-
coming so personal and bitter that there
is possibility of its wrecking the or
ganization. The committee having in
charge the rules and regulations for the
government of the proposed bureau met
again yesterday and tried in vain to
bring some order out of the general
chaos. The situation at present is this:
All OF the lines except the Wabash
Missouri Pacific, Santa F'e and one or
two other southwestern roads have sign
ed the agreement to adopt the new 1000
mile book Internationally. The Rock
Island stands firmly for a continuation
of the credential system, threatening to
make severe reprisals if the other lines
withdraw the use of the old book. These
threats, at least a fear of what the
Rock Island NAV do. have led some of
its competitors to hesitate upon entering
the new bureau.

Four Roads to Reach California
Over Santa Fe.
Cars Will Be Picked Up at
Kansas City.
A BIG TRAFFIC DEAL.
Will Bring Large Business from
st. Paul.
Daily Schedule of Limited Will
Resume Nov. L.
4 BIG TRAFFIC DEAL.

Four of the big railroads in the mid
die west have arranged to run through
cars to Los Angeles on the Santa Fe
overland next winter, says the Los An
geles Herald. Al four lines will radi-
ate from st. Paul They are the Wa
bash, Great Western, Milwaukee & st.
Paul and Burlington. The cars of these
several lines will be picked up by the
Santa Fe overland at Kansas City and
carried through to Los Angeles. In the
same way they will be taken back.
The arrangement is expected to become
effective October 1. General Passenger
Agent Byrne of the coast lines says that
all the railroads are looking for large
coast business next winter and the ar
rangement that has just been compile
ted with the four lines mentioned is in
anticipation of heavy travel from the
various points touched by these roads.
Mr.. Byrne does not think that the heavy
travel to the coast this month. on &C
count of the Grand Army encampment
will affect the tourist travel next fall
and winter Most of those who have
come out here this summer are people
who can not get away at any other time
in the year. while those who will come
in the winter are that class which an
nuauy strive to escape the raging of
winter. and can leave without seriously
interfering with their business.
The Santa Fe expects to restore the
daily running schedule of the Overland
Limited November l. This train is now
making the trip from Chicago to thus
city only three times a week, as the
travel in the summer time does not war
rant running the train Oftener.
Mr. Byrne is in receipt of a letter
from H. Fulton of Flagstaff, Arizona,
suggesting that it would be a good idea
to inaugurate an automobile line be-
tween Adamana and the petrified for
est. A stage line is now being operated
between these two points. Mr. Byrne
thinks the idea good one. and he has
written Mr.. Fulton suggesting that he
make arrangements for an automobile
service with Mr.. Stevenson, who has
the contract for running the stage line.
