Continental CreaI1uzs "a. force Railway
to Give Better Service

to Give Better Service
Mandamus proceedings were com
menced last week IN the supreme court
by the Continental Creamery company
to compel the Rock Island railroad to
handle cream on all its passenger trains,
it being claimed that the Rock Island
has Disseminated against the Cont
mental company and forced It to ship its
cans Of cream on the line between Good
land and BeIleville by freight, resulting
in the spelling Of the greater part Of the
product. An alternative writ of man.
damus was allowed BY Chief Justice ".
A. Johnston and made returnable
August 10.
It is claimed by the Continental com
Pany that it established its skimming
stations along the line Of the Rock
Island at a cost of over $4,000 upon
the promise Of that company to handle
its cream on passenger trains and that
the refusal OF the Rock Island to do
since the first Of the year has resulted in
a loss to the Continental company of at
least $500 a day. It is stated that unless
q peremptory writ of mandamus is al
lowed and the Rock Island forced to
carry cream on its passenger trains it
will result in the destruction Of the bus
mess of the Continental company in
the territory covered by the Rock Island
and will force the Continental company
to abandon the northwest Kansas field.
Some time ago in order to handle the
cream business Of the Continental com
pany between Goodland and BelleYille
on fast train the Rock Island put on
daily milk train between these two
points. From Belleville to Topeka the
milk cans were carried on the passenger
trains, which constituted a fast service.
But about ten days ago the milk special
was taken Of and the cream business
between this place and BelleEille was
handled by the local freight. The service
was so slow that the cream spoiled be-
fore it reached Topeka, and the writ Of
mandamus is to force the Rock Island
either to carry the cans on the regular
passenger trains or TO establish a new
train which shall have an effective
time schedule.
The Continental pays the farmers of
this county several thousand dollars a
month for cream and if the market we're
destroyed by a slow freight service the
interests Of both parties would suffer
great injury.

VICTORY FOR THE TRAINREN
Rock Island Grants Increase in
Wage Schedule Of IS Per Cent.
Crisis In Disagreement over Pay for Ter
minal Waiting Reached and Employees
Gain the ConcessiOn-ScheduleT VIII
BE Completed without Friction.

After a conference extending over
several months, the officials Of tie Rock
Island railway company Tuesday grant
ed the demands Of the conductors and
hEakemen in both the freight and pass
enger service for a raise IN the pay
schedule, and other allowances. Freight
conductors and brskemen received a 10
per cent increase IN mileage, and pass
enger conductors and brakemen u per
cent.
There wss -aetically no trcnhle - 50
curing the Is per cent increase, but IN
going down the items Of the schedule
the officials held out upon the previous
arrangement Of paying for terminal
waiting. The old schedule allowed .
cents an hour FOR terminal overtime, but
the officials for long time refused to
pay the overtime 10 case the men had
only to wait and not to switch. The de-
Gliding Of this point resulted in a strong
stand on both sides, but finally the Of
ficials made the concession.
AS the matter now stands a freight
conductor gets $3.50 a hundred miles,
excess mileage, and also 3 cents an
hour for terminal overtime. The freight
brakeman will receive $3.50 a hundred
miles, excess mileage and overtime.
Passenger conductors and brakemen
receive stipulated salaries and their in
crease amounts to u per cent Of the
salary paid.
When the average speed OF a freight
train over a division is less than ten
miles an hour the conductor and brake
man receive 3 cents an hour overtime,
and is called excess mileage.
A telegram from Ed Luther, a mem
Der, Of the grievance committee and q
| delegate Of the trainmen from this di-
vision, dated August >, says, settlement
satisfactory, will complete schedule" A
similar message was received here by
! the conductors from William Stephens,
their delegate.
Il An agreement had not been reached
last week and the members Of the griev
ancs committee went home for Instruct
4 ions from their respective lodges, and j
was understood that there was posi-
biIity of a strike IN case the officials re
fused the demands for terminal waiting
The strike would have involved all the
conductors and braSemen on the ROcl
Island and would have brought on 1
serious condition indeed, but the crisi
resulted in a victory for the employees

amicabls agreement was finally reached

WHEAT BELT MOVING WEST
Thomas and RawIias Counties This
Year Enter Million Bushel List.
viii Have Large Effect Upon Future Of
Northwest Kansas-Sherman County
win Get in Next Year in all
Probability.

The Kansas wheat belt has moved
west. An analysis of the figures Of
wheat production in Kansas this year
shows that the counties Of the east cen
trail part Of the state which have for
years been in the foremost rank Of wheat
counties are dropping behind in wheat
production while the more western
counties, especially those Of northwest
Kansas, are coming to the front as
wheat counties.
The map Of the wheat belt this year is
considerably different from what it was
in 1901. At that time there we're 30
million busheI counties" of which .
we're in one group extending across the
central part OF the state, and Mont
gomery and Marshall counties further
east. This year there will probably be
80 million-bushel counties, but three of
those of the 1901 list will not be on this
years list. Montgomery and Marshall
will not come anywhere near the million
bushel mark, and Clay will also fall be-
low it hundred thousand bushels or
so. On the other hand IL short grass
counties will be added to the list, eight
in the Sixth district and three in the
Seventh. These counties are Phillips,
Norton, Decatur, Rawlins, Thomas,
Sheridan, Graham and Trego counties,
in the Sixth district, and Ness, Edwards
and Ford counties in the Seventh.
This conclusion is based upon figures
produced by careful estimate of the
yield per acre in the various counties,
taken in connection with the acreage in
each county as reported to the state
board of agriculture in its June crop re-
port. These estimates are believed to
be conservative and approximately cor
rect. They run from IA to Is bushels
per acre in the eastern counties Of the
wheat belt and from 10 to p bushels in
the western counties. These 50 counties
in the order Of their rank, together with
the estimated yield per acre in bushels,
and the total yield on this basis are as
