TRAFFIC GOING TOGULF

Chicago, May 3.-Trafic officials Of
the Chicago Missouri river lines are
much disturbed over the diversion of
provision shipments to the gulf ports.
For several years the gulf lines have
been giving the eastbound lines consid-
erabIe trouble by taking from them a
large proportion of the western grain
and flour business, but not until recent
ly have they been making any inroads
on the provision business. Lately, how
ever, the gulf lines have been going af-
ter the provision traffic, and they are
now taking the bulk of export provis-
ions from Missouri river points to gulf
ports and are also taking some of the
business from Chicago
The eastbound roads from Chicago
and the Missouri river find it a difficult
task to meet the competition Of the gulf
roads, as the latter quote through rates
to European ports and file new tariffs
with the interstate commerce commits
sion almost daily. In order to prevent
all this business from being WreSted
from them the Chicago Missouri river
lines are willing to grant a differential
rate to the gulf roads SO as to insure
the maintenance of tariff rates. The
principal obstacle in the way of such
an agreement is the unreasonable de-
mands the gulf lines are making. The
latter it is said will not be satisfied
with less than differential rate of 10
per cent If they do not recede from
their position. nothing is left for the
eaStbound roads from the Missouri riv-
er and Chicago and St. Louis to do than
to meet the competition by making
rates on provisions to the Atlantic sea-
board so low that they will leave no
margin of profit to the gulf lines if they
cut under them. The executive officers
of the western roads will meet here to-
day to consider the situation.

Rock Island Has Located a Colony in
Seward County.

Through E. G. Sheldon the passen-
ger department of the Rock Island
has succeeded in locating a new coli
ony of Menonites in Seward county,
Kansas. The colony has bought 81
quarter sections of land, one quarter
section for each family. This land a
few years ago was regarded as arid
and worthless. For years this land
was considered wholly unfit for for
agricultural purposes, but It has
known as Durham wheat. Artificial
irrigation of the land in that section is
not necessary. The railroads of the
southwest are doing all they can in
dividually and collectively to secure
settlers along their lines, and it is ex-
pected that thousands of families will
be added to the population of the
southwest during 1905.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 3.-signal ex-
perts, representing all the main rail-
roads of this country witnessed a sue
cessful demonstration Monday after
noon of the new automatic device for
the prevention Of railroad collisions on
about five miles of the eastern division
of the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chi
cago railroad, which had been equipped
for this purpose. A duplicate of the de-
vice had been fixed up in passenger
coach. About 200 experts were present.
There were seven blocks in the i've
miles, and wherever It was necessary
the new device automatically shut off
the steam and applied the brakes with
out the assistance of the engineer.
Tests were made at rates Of speed vary
ing from 35 miles an hour to 60 miles,
and in every case the train was auto
matically stepped. Visiting experts
took their turn in the cab.
Among those present were F. B.
Corey of the General Electric company
of New York, and it was the opinion
of all that Witnessed or took part in
the tests that the system had proven a
necessity for railroads. Special com
ment was made on the manner by
which the human element had been
eliminated. thereby preventing all the
many accidents brought about by mis-
reading of misunderstanding of orders.

With Santa Fe.


Arkansas City, Kan, May &C. L.
Dolman of the firm of S. Dolman &
Son, railroad contractors, of Topeka,
is here arranging to begin work on the
Santa Fe from Arkansas City and
Newkirk. This line is to be straight
ened and the grades lessened to a
great extent SO that less power will be
required to handle trains between the
two towns. The track will be nearly
straight from the south end of the
Arkansas river bridge to the state line,
and the grade will be reduced 50 that
the heaviest will be about six of one
per cent.
The bridge across the Arkansas will
be raised or a new one built and the
south end will be raised ten feet
above the present position. The north
end of the bridge will be six feet
above the present.
To do this will require the moving
of about one hundred and fifty thous-
and cubic yards of dirt. It is expected
the cost of grading. building the
bridges that will be needed and laying
the steel will be upwards OF 800, 900.
Mr.. Dolman is subeontracting the
work to numerous other contractors.
