The Local Freight Question.

1t seems as it there is lots of
COON for improvement in the
ocal freight service OF the Santa
Fe. AS local freight shipments
are now handl, d it takes from
two to six or ten days to get goods
from Denver or Kansas City or
any other point few hundred
miles distant. In fact there is no
certainty when goods will arrive
or whether whole shipment will
come together or part of it car
.ied by aud returned after many
days of waiting. 1t is this ele.
ment of uncertainty that worries
the merchant and makes it I'M.
possible for him TO keep up his
stock.
If the Santa Fe desirea to
please the people along its line
upon whom it depends for its
dividends it should institute some
sort of system of handling freight
that would enable its customers
to tell with some degree of GER
tanity when goods order red may be
expected to arrive. This would
be an improvement that would
be appreciated all along the line.

CAUSE OF THE QUAKE
FELT IN INDIA
Growth of the HimaIayas Started the
SeismoIogicaI Trouble
Special Foreign. Service

Special Foreign Service
LONDON, April 29.-Prof Milne, the
eminent seismologist, tells an interest
ing story describing how and why the
Lahore earthquake occurred recently.
1t took place. he says. on the southern
side of the Himalayas, and was due to
the continuous growth of these noun
tains. The Himalayas are a form of
stratified materials, which were once
beneath the sea, and these materials
are being crumpled up in much the
same way as one might make folds in
a table cover by rubbing a hand along
its surface. In this process the strata
are bent upward, and when overbend-
Ing takes place there is a fracture.
The fracture is accompanied by a jar
or series of jars and vibrations which
constitute the earthquake.
we shall no doubt hear later" says
the professor, something more about
the magnitude of this fracture. as it is
called. 1T extended many miles, with
the result that the work of the trig-
nometricai sservey will require rectifi-
cation.
This was the case after the great
earthquake in Assam in 1897, when it
was found that as a result of reSur-
veys that about 10000 square miles
had been displaced latterly as much as
twenty or thirty feet. In Japan, after
the great earthquake. of 1891, the sur
vivors refused to pay taxes on the
ground which had been left. to them,
saying that it had not the same area
after the earthquake as it had before.
Their contention was found to be cor
rect. We shah probably hear of a
number of secondary disturb
ances, which will originate along the
line of the. newly created fault" in
dfcating that broken and disjointed
strata are settling to a state of equi-
hbrium. These shocks will not reach
Europe or Great Britain, but will be
felt in many places in northwest India
If We look back at the history of
the last 200 years We shall find that
this disaster is only repetition of
what has occurred many times before"

BANGKOK, April 29.-Gambling IN
Siam has been abolished for three
years. The notice issued to this effect
by the minister of finance is an inter-

His majesty the king, says the min
lister, has long been impressed by the
fact that. although the revenue de-
rived from gambling is an important
factor in the finance of the kingdom,
the evils resulting therefrom are much
greater than the benefits.
People expend in gambling not only
their own wealth. but the wealth of
others. They devote to gambling time
during which they should be attend
ing to their work.
Large sums of money which come
into the hands of the gambling farm
ers, also leave the country, and gam
bling is responsible for much of the
crime that is committed.
Its abolition would, therefore, not
only result in an Improvement of the
morals of the people and increased in
dustry, but money expended in it would
remain in the country. adding to the
wealth of the community.
Owing to the loss to the eXchequer
caused by the suppression of gam
bling, fresh taxes will have to be
