TEN for the last so years, who has spent
the last five months in Tucson. Arizona
for a slight pulmonary trouble. has re-
turned to the southern Arizona city af-
ter spending several days here.
Nj Wilder says that he is almost a
cure after his protracted vacation in
the balmy climate Of the southwest and
his physicians have told him that he
may return to his duties at Topeka as
soon as he has completed another
month in Tucson.
Il have had a little work sent to me
from Topeka" said Mr.. Wilder, but
have been taking it as easy as possible
and enjoying a real vacation. While
the weather in Tucson. like the wealth
er in all parts of the country this year
has not been up to it's reputation it has
been fair and 1 think as good as any
where else in this section, from the re-
ports I hear"
In reply to a query as to the report
ed notable decrease in Santa Fe earn
ings for the month of March, Mr.. VIII
der said: Il have not seen the figures
but understand that March was an of
month as far as net profits were con-
cerned. This is not at all strange
considering the immense outlay made
for betterments this year. If the mel
earnings showed such a decrease while
expenses were confined to ordinary op-
Grating cost, it might have some sig
nificance, but at present has none
Then there are always of months, and
off years, as far as that goes, in the
way of clear receipts. This year the
outlay of money for extensive improve
ments in shops and rolling stock, line
and equipment and new trackage Is
something enormous"
In referring to the recent departure
of Mr. Nudge from the Santa F'e, Mr.
Wilder expressed evident regret and
spoke most highly of the esteem il
which Mr.. Nudge was held by officials
Of the entire system, high and low,
Mr.. Mudge's popularity was some
thing unusual I Think said the treas
urer. He is a quiet, nnassuming man
who makes no bid for popular favor
but whose sterling qualities and per
sonal magnetism make him friends
wherever he goes. We all sincerely
regret to see him sever his connection
with the system.
'Nr. Hurley is an entirely different
style of man, but is a reservoir of en-
ergy and will doubtless. make a mosi
efficient man in his position. He is {
man who accOmplishes things in spite
of obstacles and will likely make a rec
ord for himself as manager"

WILL REBUILD STEEL MILLS.
Union Pacific Plant at Laramie, Wyo.,
win Be Run to Fun Capacity.

Laramie, Wyo., May 6.-The Union
Pacific railroad has begun rebuilding
the old steel rolling mills at this place,
and 1t is said will begin operating
them as soon as the work is finished.
Formerly the Union Pacific rolled a
large number of rails here, and until
one year ago all the bolts, spikes, etc,
used on the road were made in the
mills at this place.
It is rumored that after being re-
built the Laramie mills will be worked
to full capacity and will turn out work
for the entire Hartman system. This
work is now done by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, but because
of Gould's connection with the West
ern Pacific Hartman will transfer
bushes to his own plants. The Lara
fnie plant can roll but a small pro-
portion of the steel used by the Harri-
man lines.

Fort Scott, May 6.-Niss Grace Sake,
daughter of Rev. ]. B. SAKE, who re-
sides a few miles south of the city, and
who has been connected with the Tor
England for a year or more, has re-
turned home. Since her return from
England to this country Miss SAKE has
taken the lecture platform and has
been addressing audiences in New
York, Chicago and St. Louis. She will

present.
While in New York, on her return
from across the Atlantic, Miss Sake
was a guest of Miss Helen Gould. Miss
Gould is very much interested in the
revival meetings in England, and upon
Miss Saxe's return Miss Gould invited
her to become her guest during her
stay in the metropOIis.

TO HAVE LAWSON.
The Author of "Frenzied Finance to
Visit lola

lola. May st was stated today by a
Humboldt oil man who knows Thomas
w. Lawson personally, that Allen
county would have the privilege of en-
tertaining the author of "F'renzied Fin
ance" within a few weeks.
He has written that If he comes to
Kansas he wants to visit the Humboldt
oil field and the Webster independent
refinery at that place.
NIr. Lawson has received several in
vitations to visit Kansas among them
one from the Ottawa. Chautauqua- No
definite answer has been received to
the ottawa invitation, and it is under
stood that his visit hinges upon his
ability to accept that invitation If he
comes, however-and the outlook is
very promising-he has promised to
visit the Allen county oil field.

.'GENTL.EaIIEN.s AGREEAII1NTs. 2

Mexican Railway Traffic Managers Do
Not Understand American Pledges.
Mexican railway oficials have been
initiated into the mysteries OF gentle
mems agreements, - for which American
railway officials are famous. Just be-
fore the close Of last year there was
held conference of traffic Ofncla1s OF
Mexican lines and their connections at
the international border. At this con-
ference 1t was agreed that the puDllsh-
ed rates OF the railroads in the United
States would be strictly maintained and
would furnish the basis for all through
rates on exports to Mexico.
Before the new year was out OF its
sWaddling clothes the Mexican railway
ofnciaIs began to receive notices from
traffic officers of American roads that
1t had been found necessary to make
certain reductions in through rates to
Mexican points, and the Mexican roads
would be expected to stand part OF the
shrinkage in rates.
Notices of this kind continued to
pour IN on the Mexican officials, each
calling for a further decrease in their
revenue on freight exported from the
United States, until finally the Mexican
railway men determined to ascertain
DeTore 1t was too late whether their
gentiemen's agreement with the
American roads would ruin them.
At the earnest solicitation of their
Mexican associates the traffic officials
Of western roads agreed to meet them
at Chicago and discuss the rate situa-
ton At the meeting, the western rail-
road men without hesitation or en- bar-
rassment stated that rate agreements
in the United States are made in good
faith and are always strictly maintain
ed-until some line finds it can beat a
| competitor by violating the agreement.
Every American road represented at
the meeting admitted that it had
strictly maintained the rate agreement
with the Mexican lines, but had proof
that all its competitors were guilty of
securing export traffic by cutting the
through rates.
Then the surprised Mexicans were
further surprised by a proposition
from the American lines to enter into
a new "gentlemen's agreement" to
maintain rates. Every American line
unhesitadngly pledged itself to main
tain the new agreement.
The Mexicans wonder how long it
will last. They viii not help to pay
for the fights between American roads
hereafter, but will demand their full
rates, regardless of the cuts in through
rates made by American lines.

PHOTO PASSES.
Plan to Put Pictures Of Holders on All
Trip Passes.


A pow WOW of the representatives of
the general passenger departments of
the Texas roads has been held in Fort
Worth. While nothing official has
been given out about the conference,
it is said that one of the chief propo-
sitions on the programme was the
photO-pass plan 1t is proposed to
have every trip pass bear a photo
graph likeness of the party to whom
it was issued. One passenger agent
suggested that two views of the pass
holder be exhibited, one side view
and one front view. Another agent
has sent in his idea that the two views
be before" and latter" receiving the
pass. The question of who is to stand
the expense of the pictures has afford
ed all kinds of argument. Some of
the passenger men declare that a. per-
son receiving complimentary trans
pOrtatiOn should be willing to pay Is
or 20 cents to have his or her mug
took" and pasted on the pass. 9th
ers argue that this would make the
issuers of free transportation appear
cheap John" to collect photo charges
every time they issue a trip pass.
Whether the official photographer
shall be stationed in the Office of the
general passenger department or be
assigned to quarters in the depot
ticket Office is another perplexing
question to be decided.
