RAILROAD NEWS.
Traffic Agreement Between
e. P. and Pennsylvania.
No Opposition Is offered by Big
Railroad Interests.
PRESAGER OF PEACE.
Transc0ntinental Lines Prepare
to Work in Harmony.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.
PREsAGER OF PEACE.

Word comes from the east that a
traffic contract has been entered into
between the Union Pacific and the
Pennsylvania with the full knowledge
and approval of the Morgan and
Vanderbilt interests. as well as the
Kuhn-Loeb interests in the Union Pa
cific. The agreement between these
roads is regarded as rejecting further
progress in the harmonization of the
transcontinental railroad interests, which
began with the arbitration adjustment
made last spring between the Union
Pacific and the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Taken all in all it
foreshadows the perpetuation of trans
continental railroad peace, and in addi-
ton it affords a, protection to the Penn
sylvania railroad from the possible in
f1uences of the future completion of the
WabaSh-Missouri Pacific line from
ocean to ocean.
1t is understood also, that this deal
was Influenced largely through the good
offices of E. ]. Berwlnd, who has long
been known as a large owner of Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa E'e securities, and,
therefore it may be considered as being
agreea BILE to the management of that
road. Since the Union Pacific interests
some time ago, acquired a large block
of Santa Fe stock, the relations between
The Pennsylvania railroad already has
close traffic alliance with the Santa
Fe, and this will not be affected in any
way by the new agreement with the
Union Pacific. This new agreement is
expected to enlarge greatly the Penn
sylvania's eastbound traffic from points
west of the Mississippi. 1t has been be-
lieved for some time in we'll informed
railroad circles that the HillMorgan
interests have increased to a considera-
bic extent their holdings in the Union
Pacific during the past year. Naturally
they will welcome any development
which tends to benefit the Union Pacific
property.
The approval of this contract between
the Pennsylvania and the Union Pacific
by the Vanderbilts, who have the con-
trolling interest in the New York Cen
trail system, is looked upon in railroad
quarters as foreshadowing an early de-
velopment of importance in connection
with the Vanderbilt group of roads.
Just exactly what this may be, no guess
has been hazarded, but some persons
believe it will concern the members of
the Vanderbilt systems of roads in the
central west

GRAssHoPPERs EAT CORN.
The Pest Doing Considerable Damage
in IeaYenMOrth County.

Leavenworth. Kan, Aug. Is
Grasshoppers are the cause of an i'm
mense destruction to the corn in this
vicinity this year. Ordinarily the ma
tive grasshopper, is not considered a
pest, but this year they are more nu-
merous than usual AM consequently
the damage is more apparent than be-
fore. Farmers say that the destruc-
ton will be greater next year unless
the winter is severe enough to destroy
the eggs. Their favorite diet appears
to be corn leaves and husks, but in
some instances they devour entire
patches of weeds also.
Will Seymour of High Prairie says
that on his farm grasShOppers attack
ed a weed patch and as a result de-
vastated swath five rods wide entire
ly around the edge of the tract. On
his place the insects also devastated a
tract of corn three rods in width
around the edge of corn patch, leav-
ing only the destitute stalks standing.
The sons of Francis Goble of near
Wallula say practically the same of the
corn fields in that district.

NOT TO GET MIDLAND VALLEY.
Deal for Its Purchase by Santa Fe
Is Off

Arkansas City, Kan, Aug. 2s.-That
the Midland Valley road will not be
sold to the Santa Fe was the emphatic
statement made by F. A. Molitor, chief
engineer of the former road, who was
here recently letting contracts for ter
minals for his road. He stated in
terms that were positive that the Mid
land Valley was being built by a COM
pany wholly independent of the Santa
Fe, being the same company that built
the Choctaw. Mr.. Molitor admitted
that there had been a deal on whereby
the Santa Fe was trying to purchase
the road. This failed. Since then, said
Mr. Molitor, there has been absolutely
nothing in the reports that the Santa
Fe was going to purchase tie road and
it is not for sale now.
The Midland Valley will be operating
trains into Pawhuska by September 1,
and into this city by January 1. 1t has
not been decided yet whether or not
the road will use the tracks of the Mis-
souri, Pacific from Silverdale, Kansas,
to Arkansas City.

BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY OPENED.
New San Pedro Road Taps an. Un-
touched Empire.

Salt Lake, Utah, Aug. 2S.-With the
opening of the new railroad across
southern Utah and southwest Nevada,
which is known as the San Pedro line,
a new country has been opened, which
in area is large enough for a good
sized empire. the natural resources of
which are practically untouched. This
region has until now been without any
railway facilities. The laws of trade
and transportation are such that its
rapid development is now assured. The
Goldheld and Tonopah mining camps
are to be reached by branch lines.
There is a strong possibility that other
mineral districts will be discovered and
developed as a result of this new rail-
road enterprise.
There is some beautiful scenery
along the route, particularly in what is
known as the Rainbow Canon, and the
citrus fruit region of southern Cali
fOrnia is reached near San Bernardino,
the road leading from that point
through Riverside and Pomona and
other towns in one of the greatest
orange growing districts in the world.
