NOT AFRAID OF FLOOD.
Rock Island Making It's z. @. Yards
Better Than Ever Before.

Kansas City. Mo-, March 1.-THE
Rock Island Railway company yester-
day installed at it's Armourdale yard
the only water filtering plant used by
any railway in Kansas City This plant
will filter all water used by the COM
pany's locomotives. Kaw river water
contains a large per cent of aIkali. This
eats the iron.
The Rock Island Railway company
will place large force of men at work
Monday on the improvement of it's Ar
mourdale yard A new roundhouse,
with room for thirty large locomotives,
several ice houses and fifteen additional
miles of yard track are to be built this
summer
How little the large corporations in
Armourdale fear another flood can be
seen by the manner in which the Rock
Island has been pushing work since that
time. The Rock Island had to rebuild
every inch of the track in the Armour
dale yard. More than 100 cars were
strewn over the space. Work began at
once after the water subsidized. Not only
was the track rebuilt. but more was
added until the company now has forty
two miles of track in its Armourdale
yard. The large electric scale house
was rebuilt and another scale house
built in the west end of the yard. The
round house and ice houses. three in
number, were repaired. This took until
fall.
The first of February the company
house was built. 1t is twice as large as
those built several years ago. The new
roundhouse will be one of the largest in
the city The new yard tracks are to
extend west one mile. This yard will
be used for coaches.

BUYING BIG ENGINES.
Southern Pacific Has Some Which
Rival the Decapods.

A dispatch from Chicago states that
]. Kruttschnitt. fourth vice president
and general manager of the Southern
Pacific. has announced that his COM
pany is beginning to receive forty new
freight engines of the compound con-
solidation type, which are probably
the largest in general use in the coun-
try. The engines weigh $4,000 pounds
on the drivers. the engine proper 213.-
600 pounds. and the engine and tender
in working order 178 tons. The Santa
F'e decapods. used solely in the noun
tain division, weigh more, but the
Southern Pacific engines are intended
for general freight use.
In addition to these the company is
receiving twenty-eigh new prairie
type engines for passenger service,
which weigh nearly as heavy as the
freight engines, and are said to be
larger than any now in use. These en-
gines weigh 10000 pounds on the
drivers: the maximum weight hitherto
has usually been 100000 pounds. The
engine proper weighs 100000 pounds,
and in working order IT'S tons. All the
tenders are 1000 gallons capacity,
which will greatly minimize the num-
Der of water stations. The Southern
Pacific is rapidly equipping the system
with water purifying plants, which Mr..
Kruttschnitt declares is the solution
of the water proposition with which the
company is contending.

Taft Talks to Capitalists and
Railroad Officials.
Trying to Interest Them in
Philippine Railroads.
NOT BITING WELL
Secretary Taft's Remarks on
the Result of Conference.
- Il n
8 NOT BITING WE'LL. -
Propositions in Regard to Con.
cessions to Be Made.

New York, March 14-William H
Taft, secretary of war. came here and
had prolonged conference with sew
eral men prominent in railroad and
financial matters, including Sir Will
liam c, Van Horn. chairman of the
board of the Canadian Pacific railway;
Vice President FUrnbull of the Guaran-
tee Trust company: E. H. Hartman,
president of the Union and Southern
Pacific railways; George Peabody, Lin
don w. Bates, Miner Green. rail-
road builder: J. Gilbert Smith. who
is now building electric railways in
Manila; Colonel Edwards, chief of the
bureau of insular affairs; James Speyer
and Charles H. Tweed of Speyer & Co.
The representatives of the Speyer firm
were with the secretary for an hour
and a half The conference was held
in the office of former Secretary of
War Root.
After the conference Secretary Taft
said that it had been called to consider
the possibilities Of steam and electric
railroad development in the Philip
pines. that ne other enterprises were
discussed and that no conclusion had
been reached.
These gentlemen the secretary
said, have been here at my invitation
to talk over the conditions which may
attract capital to the Philippines. We
want to get capital to go over there and
help develop the islands"
Asked what was the DISPOSITION of
the CAPITALISTS he had seen, the secre-
tary laughingly replied: well, must
say they are not biting quite as hard
as we would like. Still. some of them
have displayed interest,"
The secretary admitted that the pur-
pose of the conference was to get infor-
nation for use in framing laws regard
ing franchises, which would give the
Philippine commission further powers
the islands. This information we have
been getting today is to be used in
drafting the bills that may be put be-
fore congress- he said.
Asked if the matter of liberality of
concession would be considered in con-
nection with the proposed legislation,
he replied that this would have great
deal to do with it, but added that there
was, of course, a disposition on the
part of the administration to make as
good terms as could be obtained. There
was actually no desire tic make the con-
cessions too liberal.
| 1T is our idea" said he, eto get cap
ital to the Philippines without giving
up everything While today's confer
roads, it is not the intention to limit
development in the Philippines to these
industries 1t was first the intention tic
confer on steamship routes and lines,
too. but it was decided not to do this
today"
Mr. Taft, who left for Washington
last night, said he would make re-
port on the subject to a congressional
committee Saturday next. J. ]. Hill
president of the Northern Pacific, was
to have attended the conference, but
he was in the south.

NEW COMBINATION ROAD.
Denver Hears of a Great Alliance
Formed in New York.

Denver, Colo, March 1.-THE Bur-
lington- Moffat road-San Pedro & Los
Angeles railroad-that's the lineup for
the greatest transcontinental route in
the United States.
1t is now fixed fact.
For three weeks David H. Moffat,
William A. Clark, the owner of the
San Pedro & Los Angeles line, and J. J.
Hill, the big gun of the Burlington, as
well as principal owner of the North
ern Pacific, have been in daily confer
ence in New York, and now the news
comes that the great coalition is ac-
complished and the splendid steel high
way, through. the very middle of the
country is now certainty and Dem
ver is to be the great middle distrib-
uting point, the executive headquar-
tiers of the big combine.
]. j. Hill of the Northern Pacific has
for years been figuring on a southern
route to the coast as a western outlet
for the Burlington road traffic.
Clark is equally anxious for a con-
Meeting link between his road and the
Burlington.
And now the Moffat line people have
furnished the link.
There remained only the matter of
terms in the tripartite agreement,
which is understood to have been ac-
cOmpIiShed.

BANKS MAKE COMPLAINT.
The officers Want Their Assessment
Reduced.

The Topeka banks will make an effort
this year to have the assessed valuation,
on which the banks will be taxed, made
less than it was in 1903
William Sims, president of the First
National bank, and p. l.. Bonebrake.
president of the Central National
bank, appeared before H. NJ. Philips, the
chief assessor Saturday to state their
case The question, however, will be set
tied by ]. G. Allison, who has charge of
the assessing of the banks and business
houses, and Mr.. Philips. who will consult
about the matter. After they have determ-
med what assessment shall be made
against the banks those figures will go
before the board of county commission
ers sitting as a board of equalization.
and the assessments can be raised or
lowered by the board.
For many years there has been criti-
cfsm that the banks were not assessed as
high as they should be. In 1893, when the
banks submitted statements of their as
sessed valuations, which the banks
thought they should pay taxes, Allison re-
turned the statements and required tho
banks to list their capital stock. surplus
cided increase IN the taxes paid by each
bank AS this brought the assessed val
uation of the banks to a much higher
figure than ever before, Mr. Allison al
lowed the banks a reduction of 10 per
cent for shrinkage-
Now the banks wish to have a ten per
cent or greater reduction, allowed "a the
loans of the banks instead of on the c@S-
ital. surplus and undivided profits The
Changing of the basis on which the re-
bate of ten per cent would be computed,
as desired by the banks, would make q
decided increase in the amount of the re-
bate.
