The OIL RATES.
J. r. KOOntz Says Santa Fe Has
Been Misrepresented.
Declares Railroad Wants to En-
courage Oil Industry.
GIVES SOME FIGURES.
Compares Rates in Effect Prior
to and After Aug. 10, 1904.
Rates Established by Maximum
Rate Bill Now in Effect.

officials of the Santa Fe railroad de-
clare that the Santa Fe has been mis-
represented and placed in a wrong
light before the public in the oil rate
controversy.
General Freight Agent ]. r. Koontz
declares that the Santa Fe railroad is
anxious to encourage the oil industry
on the theory that the building up of
industries along the line of the road
means a resultant increase in tonnage
of freight offered to the road to be
| transported. The Santa Fe. Mr..
Koontz declares. is anxious to encour-
age and assist all kinds of industries
and the construction of independent
refneries is welcomed by the traffic
men for the reason that the construc-
ton of refineries opens up channels
for increased freight revenues to the
railway, whereas at the present time
/ there is practically no revenue from
that source. The establishment of in
dependent refineries means that
market will be provided for oil which
will not be transported by pipe line
and consequently the railways will get
revenue for its transportation. Mr.
KOOntz also declares that the Santa
Fe has not yet transported enough
crude oil from the Kansas field to
make an appreciable showing in the
accounts.
I'VE have adopted the rates estab-
lished by the maximum rate bill pass
ed by the last legislature" said Mr..
Koontz. For the present we will take
and transport all oil offered to us for
shipment at those rates. We intend
to make a fair test to determine
whether or not oil transported under
that law will prove profitable and
whether or not it will yield a fair reve-
nue.. During the past year there has
been no way of determining this mat
ter for the reason that there has been
no movement of this comm odity.''
There has been d great deal of con-
troversy," continued Mr.. Koontz,
over the question of rates on petro-
leum and its products from Kansas
producing points to points within the
state of Kansas. also from Kansas
producing points to interstate points.
AT no time has there been any ex-
PLANTATION given as to the reasons
which prompted the changes in the
rates on petroleum and its products.
The facts in connection with the
transaction are as follows. in so far
as the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway are concerned:
1.-The Santa Fe had in force prior to
August Is, 1904, the.-following rates

At the present time there are no
plans under consideration looking to

freight and passenger offices in Topeka
The affairs of the freight and passenger
departments in Kansas are presided

There is still considerable speculation
as to who will succeed H 1. Miller
who was formerly general manager Of
the Rock Island. The Rock Island made
an effort to secure General Manager H.
U. Nudge, of the Santa Fe, for the
place. Mr. Nudge, however, announced
that he was not planning to sever his
connection with the Santa Fe. The gem
eral impression existing in Rock Island
circles has been that the appointment
would be given to w. NJ. Hobbs, now
general superintendent of transporter
ton, and this may yet be the solution
of the matter.
The resignation of H. J. Slifer, gen
eral superintendent of the northern dis
trict, and the failure of the company
to announce a successor lends color to
the belief that when an appointment is
announced, the new man will be given
entire jurisdiction over all lines east of
the Missouri river and as far north as
Minneapolis and St. Paul. The work of
the general superintendent of the north
ern district is being handled for the
present in Mr.. Hobbs office.

by the Santa Fe at the time the sche-
dule of rates as indicated above were
put in force met with approval 1 quote
below from the Puru Oil Gazette of
July IA, 1904:
1t seems from the reduced tariff
rates which the Santa Fe railroad is
making on refined oil that they are
helping the Independent refiners to
buck the Standard Oil company. The
independent refiners are not posses
sors of capital sufficient to build pipe
the railroads was too high to compete
with product which was piped. The
Santa Fe has reaped little, if any, from
the oil companies that pipe the product
and in order to help make it possible for
competition between the independent
and the consolidated refiners have
made this reduction in rates and there

people,
Il also quote from Topeka daily
paper a special communication dated
Chanute, Kansas, June 20, 1904:
The action of the Santa Fe rail-
road in putting in a reduced tariff on
refined oil has created some talk
among the oil men in this section. 1t
is believed the action of the railroad
people is intended to encourage the
independent refinery at Humboldt, a
few miles north of Chanute. This
means that the railroad is going to try
and give the independent refinery a
chance to do business in opposition to
the Standard Oil company which has
its pipe lines throughout the district.
The action of the management of the
Santa Fe has stirred up a good deal
of comment and it is all favorable.
The railroad has been getting little

Seven Employees of Santa Fe Railroad
ut EmpOria Are Let Out.
Emporia. Kan, March 15.-Seven San
ia Fe employees were recently discharg-
ed by orders from headquarters, no
special reason being given. 1t is said
that the names of Is more are in the
hands of the company's officers here,
subject to discharge. The railroad al
leges that their loss of position is due
to the work OF spoilers, and that the
only reason advanced was that they had
been drinking. Some of the men are
indignant over this charge, and claim
they will go to headquarters and de-
mand that they be shown where they
have violated rules of the company The
local Santa Fe officers claim that
number of the recent wrecks have been
traced to drink. and that the company
is making an effort to stamp out the
evil among the men.

Catarrh. Neglected Catarrh
Becomes Chronic.

The fact that catarrh will continue
to affiict one person for thirty years
shows how chronic the disease really
When catarrh has once fastened
itself upon the human system, it shows
a disposition to remain.
Catarrh is not self curative nor self
eIinlinative 1t continues as long as il
is allowed to remain
Catarrh is naturally a chronic dis
ease and continues to grow worse not
better.
For thirty years Cong. Meekison had
catarrh, and yet he experienced cure
by the use of Peruna.
Surely. if Peruna will cure case OF
catarrh that has run thirty years, it
will cure more recent cases.
There are probably ten million OF
incurred cases of catarrh in the United
States alone.
What a multitude of victims this is!
What an ocean of announcement and
unhappiness! What Niagara OF
anguish and suffering!
In all probability Peruna would
quickly cure every one of these cases
Taken according to the directions, Pc
runa rarely fails to cure any case OF
chronic catarrh.
Indeed, if it ever fails, it is because
of some complication entirely one side
from catarrh.
Troubled With Catarrh Lifetime
Cured by Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. William Mann, sos ComIey
Ave, Niles, Mich, writes:
after having been troubled with
catarrh all my life Peruna cured me.
Il was so bad that I had lost the
sense of smell when / was about fif-
teen years old. My head and nose
were continually filled so that I had
to breathe through my mouth.
There was a constant dropping IN
my throat My general health was
, miserable. I felt tired all the time.
'"About two years ago began to
take Peruna and feel like a different
person. Now 1 can breathe through
my nose without any trouble, and the
soreness in my throat is all gone.
"Peruna has done so many wonders
for me that I gave it to my little
daughter who had bronchitis and it
helped her. I cannot praise Peruna
enough for what it has done for me-"
Used Pe-ru-na as a Catarrhal Tonic
Hon. W. E. Andrews ,ex-Congress-
man from Nebraska. writes from the
Treasury Department, Washington, D.
c., as follows
Il can cheerfully recommend your
preparation, Peruna. as healthful
tonic, and a successful remedy for ca
tarrh in its various FORMS"

RAISING GRADE.
Santa Fe to Get Above High Water
Mark in Neosho Bottoms.

Chanute. Kan, March 15-The Santa Fe
has let a big contract to Ransom g. Cook,
Ottawa grading contractors. The contract
is to raise the grade in the Neosho bot
toms north of town above high water
mark and out of flood danger.
The Santa Fe grade is to be raised and
same time this elevation of the track is
made the new heavy rails will be put in.
The new heavy rails line is to be COM
pleted between here and Ottawa the last
of May. The elevation of the road bed in

is one that has for some time been con-
templated- Two years ago the floods in
terfered with safe and quick traffic con-

A PHENOMENAL ENGINE.
5000 Miles Without Stopping at Rate
of 100 Miles an Hour.

Chicago, March 15.-Three thous-
and miles without a stop and at the
rate of 100 miles or more an hour. is
the capacity of a new type of Iocomo-
tive which has been ordered by the
Southern Pacific railroad. If it does
all that its makers promise for it this
locomotive, which is a revision of the
Diesel engine. will revolutionize trans
portation.
The locomotive, or really, power
house on wheels, is entirely different
from anything now in USE The cost
of operating it will be less than one
half of the cost of operating the pres
ent type Of steam engine. Fuel oil
costing but three or five cents a gallon
is the only fuel that has to be pur-
chased and there is no necessity for
erecting and maintaining expensive
water tanks or coal chutes.
The machine is what is known as
the four stroke cycle. There is COM
pressed air reservoir from which the
power is obtained for starting This
gives the piston it's first stroke, when
it takes in the air alone at atmos-
pheric pressure and temperature. The
second stroke congresses this air and
raises it to a temperature of about
1000 degrees Fahrenheit. The third
stroke is what is known as the work
ing stroke. The oil is sprayed into
the hot air, the amount being regu-
lated by governors. During the first
part of this stroke the combustion OF
this oil is carried on at a constant
pressure for period that is regulated
by the amount of oil sprayed The
second part of the stroke is practical

Northwestern in Iowa.
The Rock Island system is making
overtures towards the requirement of the
Newton Northwestern road which was
built two years ago by Hamilton Brown

Dodge Ia. It extends from Newton,
where it connects with the Rock Island
through Cambridge, Boone and Gowrie
to Rockwell City, where it connects with
the Illinois Central Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul and the Great Western
roads. The Rock Island wants the road
for a connection with its main line from
Gowrie for the Sibley line, having lost this
connection when the St. Louis road ac-
Quired the Des Noines and Fl. Dodge. The
road is 125 miles in length and was bu7rt
