RAILROADS WANT PEACE.
Hill Hartman Feud in Northwest
MAY Be Settled.

1t is stated on good authority that S;
NJ. FELTON,, president of the Chicago and
Alton is now making tour of the North
ern Pacific from st. Paul to the Pacific
inspection of all the properties. He is ex-
pected to complete his trip and return to
Chicago Friday, and from there will has
ten to New York to lay before E. E. Har-
riman a full and complete report, covering
the physical conditions of the Northern
Pacific, as to make such a report is the
object of Mr.. Felton's previous tour
This trip grew out of recent meeting
between James J. Hill and Edward H
Hartman. which was held in New York
for the purpose of trying to reach some
agreement so that the Great Northern
Northern Pacific feud, between Hill and
Hartman. which has been raging with
such bitterness. might be brought 10 a
close. At present the prospects for a
two giants in the railroad world seems
bright. Both men agreed to Mr.; FELTON, 5
ma king the inspection trip. and his report
is to form a basis for an offer to be made
by Hartman for the control of the North
ern Pacific and a half interest in the Bur-
lingtOn.

Coast Line Manager Says His Shops

MT All II ull.
Albuquerque, n. M, May 25.-A. c.
Wells, general manager of the Santa
F'e coast lines, is here looking over the
strike situation at the local shops. Re
garding the strike of machinists and
boiler makers on the coast lines, Mr..
Wells said; I'VE are getting all the
new men we want, and business is
moving along smoothly. Our business
at present is at least 80 per cent better
than this time last year. and is in con-
tinuous movement. Extra heavy traf-
fic is causing some delay in passenger
traffic on the western divisions. We
have no fight with union labor outside
of the machinists and boiler makers,
and in the future neither of these or
CARNATIONS will be recognized on the
Santa Fe coast lines. The latter or
ganization violated its agreement with
US in the stipulation that no strike
would be participated in by them
without first giving the company thir-
ty days notice. In the future we viii

BUILD A sTOCkADE.
Santa Fe Puts Up Nine Foot Fence at
Arkansas City Yards.

AEk1lSdS lily
Arkansas City, Kan, May 25.-Car-
penters in the employ of the Santa Fe
have begun the construction of a nine
foot fence along the east side of the
south yards. This is done to protect
the company's property and to keep
persons not wanted from coming in
on that side. At several points along
the line, the company has constructed
a stockade around the entire yards
but here only the east side will be
fenced at this time. This was order
ed done when the machinists' strike
began but the work was delayed here
until now.
The company will probably save
many times the cost of the fence in
coal. Heretofore the east side of the
yards has been unprotected and has
afforded an excellent means of access
to the company's coal cars. This will
be cut off and those who have been
receiving their supply of coal from
the Santa Fe will have to get it some
other way.

Ivory In Vogue Again.

1t is remarkable how the cycle of
fashion wheels round and round,
bringing back into vogue that which
has been formerly vulgarized and,
therefore, set aside by connoisseurs
of beauty who can afford to satisfy
their whims. Ivory toilet sets, for
instance, are again in fashion, after
years of neglect, during which time
the silver-backed brushes have been
in vogue, WHICH have been superseded
by gold ones, and again by tortoise
shell sets mounted in gold, at present
the Apex of extravaganza and
fashion.
Some people say it is the interest
we feel in the Japanese at this mo-
ment that has brought back the ivory
toilet sets into favor, but others de-
clare that it is simply the moment
for ivory. A ieweler says that there
is another cause, and. that is that.
ivory is not quite so expensive as it
was. It is being used either plain or
carved, and sometimes de1icately,

signs. e. 81 y

IN Bernard explained ct length why
the only feasible and rational route

tart from a Norwegian port, cross
the southern portion of Barent's Sea,

transported thither by special steam
err; pass at the end of the summer
along the Peninsula OF Taimyr, ar
rive by the end of the autumn at
the Islands of Mex Siberia, and then,
instead of going northward. as did the
|. Fram, manage at all costs, even if
itsb necessary to winter in the Laik-
3 hoff or sBennett Island, to reach a
point on the 150th degree Of east lon
gitude. Thence the ship or ships
need only:drift with the ice. NJ Be
Ssnard urges the utility of having
5the expedition composed of two yes
&sels in touch with each other by
4 means of wireless telegraphy. The
expedition should take three years,

you'd not cost more than 100000.

81 ion TO be of scientific utility.
