Hutchinson. Kas., Feb. 12.-One of
the changes in the business of the

COLD AFFECTS TRADE.
Gross Earnings Of Railways
Show a Decrease.

New York, Feb. 12-Bradstreets says:
Cold weather is still a bar to expan-
sion in spring trade throughout the
west, but signs of life are found in
leading eastern markets. The Balti-
more fire and the beginning of hostili-
ties in the far east, though affecting
speculative markets to some extent,
have not had notable results on trade
outside of sections Immediately con-
cerned, though some of the present
great strength of prices of most COM
modities may be attributed to the lat
ter development. Trade and industrial
operations betray effects of conserva-
tism some time ago predicted. but it is
yet too early to measure the possible
extent to which the season turnover
will contrast with the exceptionally
large business done in all lines one
year ago. Railway operations, owing
to severe weather in January are re-
sulting in decreased gross earnings fol-
lowing reduction in net returns in De-
cember. Outside of the diversion of
some immediate diStributive business
from the burned city to other markets,
the effects of Baltimore fire have been
strilxingly in contrast with correspond
ing events in the distant past. Good
management of the insurance business
is illustrated in the fact that with a
possible total loss of $685. 900, 900 no real
embarrassment in meeting obligations
is expected and the. restoring of the
city to normal conditions is making
swift progress. Cold weather prevents
outside activity in building and limits
buying of material. On the Pacific
coast trade is improving, and special
activity in war supplies, coal, fodder,
dried and canend fish and flour is
noted.
Raw wool is quietly firm, with coarse
wool displaying most strength
The iron trade is irregular. Other
i metals are dull. but copper is rather
firm, while lead is strong.

1T WORKS WELL.
Manual Training Annex to Buchanan
School Success.

The manual training annex at Bu-
chanan school is in full operation. and
100 children are receiving instruction
in sewing. clay modelling and wood
carving. and within a month the cook
ing room will be equipped and lessons
in the culinary art will be given daily.
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon was respon-
sible for the establishing of the man
ual training department at Buchanan
school for the instruction of the col
ored children. Several years ago he
asked the board of education for per-
mission to establish a manual training
department there. The board agreed
to the proposition. and Rev. Mr.. Shell
don paid the salary of the instructor,
Miss Susie Dick. Last fall Rev. Mr..
Sheldon urged the board to move two
rooms of the abandoned Nickel Plate
school building to Buchanan school and
equip it for manual training. and to
place Miss Dick on the list of city
teachers, to be paid by the city. The
board agreed to the request, and now
Buchanan school has a full-hedged
manual training department in its own
separate building.

ooLoNIsr RATE WAR.
Santa Fe Will Charge Less Than One
Fare for Round Trip.

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. 1.-THE eagerness
of several roads to colonize Texas,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory threat
ems to result in a passenger rate war.
The Santa Fe immigration department
announced today that round-trip rates
of $25 to Texas and Oklahoma would
be placed in effect February is, March
l and Is. effective to all points in Texas
east of a line drawn through San An
tonic, Amarillo. and Galveston. In adj
dition a round-trip rate of $50 will be
made to Roswell and Carlsbad, N. M,
on the same days. Return tickets will
be good for twenty-one days.
The rates announced are considerably
less than one fare for the round trip
Rate cutting to the southwest was
started when the Rock Island gave
notice that it would put in a rate of
$11.50 for homeseekers on February IL
and March 1 and Is. The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas at once announced a
rate of SIS for the round trip from
Kansas City, and this necessitated the
Santa Fe putting in correspondingly
cheap one-way rates from Chicago.

AFTER CANADIAN TRAFFIC.
Hill Will Build Two Lines to the
British Boundary.

In the headquarters of the lines in
Guided in the Hill group of roads it is
announced that more than ordinary ex-
tensions were contemplated in the
northwest, the object being to touch
the Canadian boundary line as soon as
possible and make a bid for the BUSH
ness emanating from this territory.
The new Great Northern extensions,
one from Pelican Rapids and the other
from Thief River falls, both running
almost due north toward the Canadian
boundary, will be constructed at once.
According to statements by executive
officials of the Hill lines in Chicago,
contracts for the new lines will be let
early in the spring and it is said that
the Great Northern will extend into the
White Earth reservation country and
beyond almost before the $500 line
can construct the remaining portion of
its Glenwood branch, which is now I'M
der construction.
