Special Correspondence of The Call.

OMAHA. Nebr., Feb. 29.-The name
Of J. W. AIidgley of Chicago is one
TO conjure with among the owners of
private car lines. Midgley for some
time has been conducting what is
termed a car mileage bureau, and it
has been his business TO inquire into
the methods Of operating these lines
by what is commonly termed the beef
trust" Midgley is said TO be in the
employ OF z. H. Hartman, J. ]. Hill
and J. P. Morgan, and his duties are
to show these gentlemen various ways
in which expenses of conducting their
railways can be reduced.
1t has long been known among rail-
road men that the private car line is
one Of the greatest gratis" known TO
the railroad world for transferring the
funds Of the roads to the pockets Of
the beef Trust. a number of these
lines are in existence, and the income
from them is enormous. The owners
Of these private lines get what is term
ed mileage for the use Of the equip
ment. This mileage amounts to three
quarters Of a cent per mile on freezers,
or frst-class beef cars. A number of
the Western roads pay as high as l
cent per mile on freezers-that is, these
rates are paid for each mile the car
runs both ways over the lines of the
various companies, and is paid by the
industrial company over whose line the
car travels.
For instance, if a car is loaded from
Omaha 10 New York with beef, the
railroads over which il travels pay
three-quarters Of a cent for every mile
il runs TO New York and the same rate
on the return trip. Owing TO the fact
that the car must be returned TO the
shipper in Omaha without delay, it is
rarely loaded upon the return trip,
and therefore the company realizes no
freight charges, consequently the roads
over which it is returned are in the
position Of paying mileage on an empty
car. which is in addition 10 the expense
Of hauling il.
Now, it is figured that if the rail-
roads owned their own refrigerator
equipment. this return mileage would
be saved 10 them, and in addition to
that. the loaded mileage could be cut
down 10 q great extent. In fact, the
mileage which is paid by one road TO
another is not nearly so high as that
paid To owners Of beef trust cars. 1t
has been said that the railroads do
not desire a change in the plan Of
hauling and paying for private equip
ment for the reason that ii is very
safe way in which TO make rebates
of freight TO heavy shippers and at the
same time make these rebates appear
lawful. But il is understood that un-
der the surface the leading railroad
men Of the East are quietly gathering
data with which to confront the pri-
vate car line owners in the near future,
this data 10 be used as an argument
why the rates now paid should be low
cred.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

1t was explained by President Moore
that the idea is to have, at the national
convention, all the States and Terri
tories unite on various lines of legisla-
ton for the promotion of the good
roads projects in the future. In thirty
two States, not including California,
good roads organizations already exist
and the hope of the national body is
to soon have the other States in line.
Next year the Legislatures in thirty
eight States will hold sessions, and the
plan is to have them all adopt the
same measures relating to good roads.
President Moore continued:
At the ST Louis convention there will be
three important measures specially considered.
One is for the appointment in every State of a
highway commission similar to the one IN
this state which will have the supervision of
the construction OF roads and their mainte-
nance A second measure Will be the adop-
tion by all States of what Is commonly known
as state aid bill, =" under which the State
ioins with the county and the property owner
whose land lies contiguous to the lines OF the
proposed roads in paying the expenses of the
construction work. Under this plan Massa-
chusetts has built already more than 700 miles
Of roads and New York State has spent in the
same way more than 50, 0G0, 900, while Penn
sylvania has appropriated SO, 100000 to be used
for road construction in three Years.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS IN VALEN'
GA COUNTY

We quote the following from the
New Mexican THE teachers. county
institute in Valencia County which has
lust closed ut Los Lunas after a two
weeks session has been vert success
full one. although il is to be regretted
that a greater number Of the teachers
of the county did not avail them' elves
Of the opportunity to attend, only
about half Of them having enrolled
themselves.
County Superintendent Jesus c. San
chez made a great effort to secure a
full representa- ion. and in another
year il is to he hoped that every
teacher in Valencia County may res
pond promptly to his call.
The institute was in charge of Pro-
fessor Y. Francis Duff of the Deming
public schools, one of the oldest and
most tried teachers in the Territory.
The instruction was good, and great
interest was manifested on the part of
all teachers who attended the meetings.
Professor Duff is an able instructor,
and every teacher expressed himself
as being greatly benefited by the work.
II is fourteen years since he came to
New Mexico. and in that time no one
/ has worked harder or more faithfully
for the cause of education than has he,
nor has any one done more efectua
work in connection with our public
school system. Energetic and untirine
he has always put his best efforts into
the work 1t is his expressed hope
that the teachers Of Valencia County
as well as all the good people who are
interested in education there, may
work patiently and earnestly for full
measure of success in the years t.
come

for home, himself going to a neigh

STUDIO sCORCHED BY FIRE.
Goede & sattler's Gallery Dam
aged Monday.
Smoke Comes Near to Suffocating
Young Man.
Noise Made by Firemen Awakens
Frank Woratschka.

Damage to the amount of several
hundred dollars was done to Goede &
Sattler's photograph gallery on Broad
way by a fire which broke out in the
studio Monday morning. The blaze
originated when an attempt was made
to thaw out a frozen water pipe and
while it was in progress a young man,
Frank Woratschka,, came near to
losing his life. He was asleep in a
small room opening off the gallery
and all but suffered death by asphyxi-
alton.
Monday morning when the proprie-
tors opened the gallery they found that
a water pipe in the dark, room was
frozen up and to replace it in com
mission burned paper beneath the
faucet. A rag ignited and the fire COM
municated to PARTITION, where it
smouldered for four or five hours.
Shortly before noon passerby noticed
smoke issuing from the studio and,
stepping into City Clerk Schilling's
office next door, notified that official
that the adjoining building was afre.
Clerk Schilling unlocked. the engine
house and rang tina small bell in the
tower, summoning enough men to run.
a fire wagon to the nearest hydrant. A
few minutes later a general alarm was
sent in and when the members of the
department responded they soon had
two streams of water playing on the
building. At first the dense smoke
made it difficult for the fremen to
work but by tearing away portions of
the ceiling they uncovered the blaze
rnd extinguished it.
The tragic part of the affair was
furnished by Frank Woratschka,
bartender. Late Sunday night he re-
tired in small sleeping room Off
the gallery and was asleep when the
fire broke out. He was awakened by
the calls of the fremen and the tramp
ling in the next room and then discov-
cred that his room was filled with
sitting smoke. Beyond being dazed
and Supplied by his confinement he was
not injured but his experience is note
worthy from the fact that only a few
weeks ago Jos. Sattler, one of the
proprietors, nearly lost his life by
asphyxiation in the same apartment.
At the time the fire was discovered
the studio was deserted, Messrs.
Goede, Sattler and Emil Sprenger, an
emplOye, being at the Catholic church
taking a series of views. They heard
the alarm but thought nothing of it
until friends informed them that the
blaze was in their building. When
they reached the studio the firemen
had nearly finished their labors aud
