CAN'T MAKE TERMS.
Washington State Having Tilt With
Railroad Freights-

War is being waged between the rail-
roads entering the Pacific northwest and
the Washington state commission hav-
ing charge of the exhibits for the St.
Louis exposition. The roads have re-
fused to amend their demand for full
tariff freights on all exhibits and the
commission has issued an open letter by
which it hopes to arouse public sent1-
ment and compel the roads TO recede
from their position.
The roads claim that all the tranSpor
tation lines of the country have entered
into an agreement that full tariff rates
shall be paid to the exposition city on
exhibits. but that the exhibits shall be
returned free of charge.
The commissioners claim Washington
is different from other states in that
practically none of the exhibits are 10

portatiOn to the state officials to ana

other provision regarding the freight
rate. The matter has been brought to
the attention of the presidents of the
roads interested, but SO far no action
has been taken.

ALLENDoRPHs NEW RAIL.
Santa Fe Conductor Introduces Some
Novel Ideas

]. G. Allendorph. of Kansas City, and
at one tins Santa F'e conductor with
Hutchinson as his home, has recently
invented a steel rail which may replace
the standard rail now in use on the
railroads in the United States. Mr.
Allendorph was n conductor through
here about twenty years ago and mar
ried Miss Hattie Foote, a sister of
Willis Foote, formerly of this city.
The new rail has been shown to 300
railroad operating officials and they
have pronounced it a more practical
rail than the one now in use.
The present rail is five and one-half
inches high and has five and one
half inch base. 1t is solid. Mr. Allen
dorph's rail is four inches high and has
a six-inch base. 1t is a hollow rail. An
other improvement which some Off
Gals consider the best part of the in
vention IS the device for connecting
the rails. Instead of the fish plates now
in use the rail is Joined by means of a
plate two feet long, six inches wide
and carrying an upright the length of
the plate which fits into the hollow of
the two rails to be connected. A COM
plete and satisfactory connection is
readily made.
The particular advantage of the in
vention is that it will prevent the many
accidents which are attributed to
spreading rails" AS matter of fact
the phrase spreading rails is a mis-
homer. The train in striking the rail
rounding a curve forces the rails over

HE DIDN'T COME BACK.
Doesn't Like Guest
Sent from Topeka.

The Leavenworth Times prints a
story which is news to Topeka people.
Nobody ever heard anything about it,
and the officers here did not purchase
ticket to ship" an old cripple as stated
in the following item:
John Anderson. an ex-Confederate
soldier. who started from his home in
Texas to go to Boston, Mass, was
stranded in Topeka yesterday morning.
The officers in that city. thinking to do
Leavenworth a good turn, purchased
for Anderson a ticket to Leavenworth
and sent him here on the Santa Fe.
Anderson arrived safely and got from
the train.
He was found on Cherokee and Sew
enth streets by officer O'Leary. His
legs were so distorted by rheumatism
that he was unable to walk and he had
crawled that far when the officer found
him. O'Leary reported his case to the
county commissioners and a ticket was
provided for Anderson back to Topeka,
but the train was unable to leave owing
to a wreck and Anderson wandered
back to the city. He said he wished to
get to Platte City as he knew ex-Con-
federateS lived there and that they
might send him to the state home for
Confederate soldiers at Higg1nsville.
Mo He was still in the city last night"

NEW DEPOT THIS WEEK.
Santa Fe Has It's Chanute Station
About Completed.

Chanute, Kan, Sept. 16.-Trains will
soon be running into the new Santa Fe
depot. The long looked for happening
will occur the latter part of this week
or the first of next. The delay has been
due to the fact that the Harvey eating
house has not been ready for business.
Several changes had to be made right
at the last in the interior arrangement,
which caused some delay. Nearly all
the work is done, however, and Mana
ger H. H. Pitken who will be in charge
here, says they will be ready to serve
meals about Thursday or at the farth-
crest next Monday. Just as soon as they
are, Agent Gable and his force will move
from the old shack and the new order
of things will be inaugurated.

EARNING BIG MONEY.
Canadian Pacific Cleans Up About
100000 a Week.

The way Canadian Pacific earnings
have kept up through the end of the
season is considered remarkable. In
creases in gross have run away over
100000 a week all summer.
The two crops have overlapped again.
The earnings during the last week in
August ran $4,000 over the same week
last year. This is largely due to the
maintenance of the grain movement, but
is also due in part to a general move
ment of freight and to well maintained
passenger business.
Next to wheat. lumber is the import
ant item in the freight list of Canadian
Pacific. The movement of this freight
will run nearly 300, 600 900 feet over the
movement last year. The total number
of feet carried in 1902 was 1,033, 500. 900
which was an increase of nearly % per
cent

MAKE OMAHA A MARKET.
President stickney Tells His Ideas
About Grain Crop.

If the views of a. B. Stickney. presi-
dent OF the Chicago Great Western road,
be given practical effect something of a
revolution may be created in the grain
trade of the west. In an address before
the commercial club of Omaha Mr..
Stickney explained that one object of
the extension of his road to that city
was to make Omaha a grain market.
Chlcago's greatness, he declared, was the
fact that every conceivable product in
every conceivable quantity, finds buy
er in Chicago. Grain. fruits vegeta bles,
live stock, everything, goes. He said
he verify believed that if some idiot
should ship car loads or train loads of
black cats, some Chicago dealer would
buy them, and some Chicago bank
would loan the money to carry" them,
and both would realize a profit. Chi
cago. he declared, is peerless and incom-
parable In all the world there is no
market town like it.
An axiom he laid down in this con-
nection was that, in the words of the
late Mr.. Peavey Of Minneapolis:
The place to carry grain is at the
market town nearest the place. of pro-
ductiOn. because at that point it con-
tains the smallest amount of transporta-
ton charges. and is in a position to be
sent to the best markets as they de-
Velop, which no one San foresee, at the
least cost for transportation"
Nothing, he added would be of much
advantage to Omaha as the establish
ment of a grain market there. Continu-
ing. he said:
1T is a task not easily accomplished.
1t cannot be established in a day. But
/ believe that, by united and intelligent
effort, it can be established in a rea-
sonably short time. 1 believe the time
is opportune to begin the undertaking.
because, as 1 have before said, 1 be-
lieve the collapse of stock speculatiohs
has set free large amounts of capital,
n hundreds Of hi
for just such legitimate business enter

New Rates for California.

San Francisco, Sept. 16.-The new
transcontinental freight rates affecting
California and the entire Pacific coast

way freight officials have just made this
announcement for the benefit of shippers

chases and shipments by the transporta-

extensive extensions of the freight
yards, new shops, round-houses, chang

branches on the mountains and in all
changing the character of the road for
21O miles east and 600 miles west to
Chicago. The total yard capacity is to
be increased to $4,000 cars. There will
be several degrees of curvature elimi-
mated and in some sections entirely new

and upsidedown, causing a wreck. With
the height of the rail reduced from five
and one-half to four inches and resting
on a broader base than the present
standard rail the chance for an acct
dent from spreading rails" is greatly
mininized, if not entirely eliminated.
The present standard rail carries so
pounds to the yard. Mr.. AIlendorph's
rail carries but Il pounds to the yard.
With steel at the present quota ton, $2S
a ton, there is a difference in cost in
favor of the Allendorph rail of $571.76 a
mile. Mr. AllendoIph is confident of
securing the adoption of the rail by the
larger systems of the country. Mr..
AIlendorph has been railroading for
twenty wears.
