Missouri branch of the Burlington are
preparing for the South Dakota and
Wyoming sections, while the Rock
Island system is to exploit Oklahoma,
Texas and Kansas.
The object of the educational work
to be done is to induce the small far
mer and small rancher to settle along
the new lines of the companies al
ready opened up or to be opened with
in the next six months.
In the northwest this especially ap-
plies to the territory between Pierre
and the Black Hills; between Casper
and Lander; in the Cody and Big Horn
region and on the outskirts of the
Shoshone Indian reservation until that
is thrown open to settlement.
In the southwest it applies to the
new regions being rapidly irrigated
throughout Texas and Kansas, and the
yet unsettled lands of Oklahoma. The
roads interested are d~evoting most of
their efforts to exploiting these new
lands in the settled portions of the
middle west and throughout Pennsyl'
vania and New York.

EASTERN MANS VIEWS
OF WESTERN ROADS

Stillman Parker, assistant foreman
in the Boston terminal freight depart
ment of the Boston e. Maine line was
on a visit to Kansas, and in Wichita
the other day he compared the railroad
system in the west to those in the
east in these words:
The system of the western rail
roads Is entirely different from that
Of the eastern lines. The first thing
that attracted my attention after ]
left Chicago was the mixed trains. On
the Boston & Maine line a mixed
train would be a curiosity, and in fact
il is the same on all other lines. An
other thing which attracted my at
tention was the number of buns
They also are almost a curiosity on
the eastern lines. many of the lines
employing special policemen to see
that no tramps board the trains.
"On our line we do not handle much
wheat. most Of the s%eaboard exports
going via New York, but the cotton
traffic easily makes up for that. Our
leather shipment is surprisingly heavy
for all the leather for the big Lynn
shoe factories and for many others
must come through Boston.
Most Of the freight trains run at
night, so as to give the passenger
trains the right Of way, as fully thir,
ty passenger trains make daily runs
from Boston and nearby points, such
as cities thirty and forty miles dis
tant. In Massachusetts the through
trains only run about $50 miles.
"In my state the express business
Is done largely by the little local eX
press companies. Each town has &c;
own express company and each com
pany has it's own car running int
Boston.
zone thing that the eastern com
panies don't have, is the red ball sys
TEN, although we do have systems in
ferior to that. On the vegetable car
and cars carrying other perishabl0
goods we put a tag bearing the in
scription of 'perishable goods and I
is given preference to other freight.

SYMPOSIUM ON SPEED
OF RAILWAY TRAINS

In answer to Il question as to the
speed of passenger trains, says Les
lies. Weekly, the Hon. Martin F.
Knapp, chairman of the interstate
commerce commission, says that with
in limits the whole question is n of
conditions, and adds:
"The rate of speed entirely safe on
one line might be positively danger
GUS on another. The varying circum-
stances on different lines would seem
to preclude any rule of general appli-
cation"
President Ripley of the Santa Fe
road, who recently caused a special
train to be run between Los Angeles
and Chicago in record-breaking time,
says that the only difference in a fast
train is that the fast train is COM
posed of fewer cars than the slow
train, and that having none of the dead
weight represented by express and
mail cars of the slow trains between
the engine and the passenger cars,
the passengers On the shorter train
are more liable to injury in case of
accident.
President Wilson of the Delaware &
Hudson road, compares a fast train
to a s~kyscraper. saying that the man
who falls from the top of such a build
ing receives injuries no greater than
the mar who falls from the fifth story.
President Barr of the Seabord Air
line, says that high speed trains re
ceive more care and better protection
than slow speed trains do, as all EN-
ployes are required to facilitate and
protect the movement of high speed
trains to the utmost.
G. M. Basford, editor of the Amer
lean Engineer and Railroad Journal
says that until our railroads have {
more uniform installation of the sig
Mailing system, as In England, W.
should not greatly increase the speed
of our trains.
And yet, asked why it is that the ia
~talities on English railways are 81
much smaller than on American rail
ways, President Newman of the New
York Central, said:
81 do not believe there is any sucl
great d~isproportlon in fatalities o.
roads in this country and in England
considering the difference in condi
lions. 1t is indeed, impossible, to max,
a fair or just or intelligent compaI
ison."

Railroad Topics

SAYS the Springer %Stockman. He re-
NAMED two or three days, and left
Tuesday morning very my~steriously
on No. S passenger for the east. The
night operator suspected something
was wrong and sent word to inquire
of the conductor at Maxwell City If
the young man had a ticket. Word
reached here that he had a ticket,
properly stamped, to Strong City,
Kan. He was allowed to go to Ration,
where he was taken In charge by the
officers, and landed in the county jail,
to await the action of the court in his
case
The young man is said to belong to
a good family and in reality there is
nothing bad in him, but he had be-
come vey homesick, and Monday af-
ternoon lifted the ticket in his des-
perate desire to get home.

SANTA FEE STILL oILlNG
ITS RIGHT OF WAY,

The Santa Fe is still hard at work
oiling its rights of way in the various
districts, and tomorrow the outfit will
be started to oiling the right of way
from Ell Toro towards San Diego.
Many miles of right of way, in south
ern California, have already been oiled
but the Santa Fe expects to have much
more of that work done within the
next couple of weeks, so that when the
tourist season, proper, opens, there
will be no going back on the COM

SANTA FE's NEW WAY FOR

The Santa Fe has in effect on It's
lines a system for securing the prompt
payment of freight claims which
Freight Auditor Healy thinks Is tar
superior to that of any other road. -.
With the new system all general
agents Of the company are supplied
with a fund of several thousand dol
lars from which they make prompt
paymen Of all claims Of ~overcharges
presented by shippers. A system OF
checking the claims before they are
paid excludes all possibility OF loss
by the company and does away with
The formality of business methods gen.

FROM THE CITY OF
THE VERDANT MEADOWS.

Considerable complaint IS heard
from nervous citizens from the fact
that mischievous boys are in the habit
of placing cartridges on the street car
track, just to hear the report when a
car runs over them. The practice
should be suppressed, as the noise not
only shocks the nerves, but there is
danger that a flying bullet may hurt
some one.

JOINT DEPOT AT COLO
RADIO SPRINGS ENLARGED.

Plans have been made by the offic-
ials of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cific, and the Denver & Rio Grande, to
enlarge and improve the depot they
use Jointly at Colorado Springs. Sew
eral thousand dollars are to be eX-
pended on these improvements. The
proposed changes are to be made be-
cause of the steadily increasing husi'
ness transacted at the depot, which
makes the present baggage and eX-
press quarters inadequate. During the
recent G.. A. r. convention rush the
baggage rooms at the depot did not
begin to hold the thousands Of trunks
and boxes which arrived and departed
by every train and it vas necessary
to utilize the platform for this pur'
pose.
When the depot is rearranged the
baggage rooms will be removed from
the south to the north end where a big
addition is TO be built. This will leave
the entire south end Of the depot tc
the express companies. Another
change at the depot is the transfer o.
the depot hotel from j. ]. Grier to the
Rock Island. 1t will be run In con
nectlon with the latter's dining ca.
service.

REBATES UNDER NAME
OF DAMAGES PAID.

Schwarzschild & Sulzberger have,
through their traffic manager, B. S.
Cusey, delivered another body blow
to the railroads. Ordered by the court
in the cattle rates case to produce
the accounts of the company showing
the amounts of rebates received from
the railroads on their shipments of
dressed meat, packing house products,
and live stock, since 1902, Mr.. Cusey
showed by these accounts that the
railroads had paid them in the guise
Of damages, an average of $3.50 on
every car of dressed meat and 81 on
every car of live stock shipped.
Attorneys for the defendant rail
roads were taken by surprise by the
order of the court, but they were in
no position to object. Meanwhile the
government attorneys are making
preparations to bring out still more
testimony on this subject by sub
poenaing the traffic managers of the
other packing houses.

INCREASING USE OF
ELECTRICITY BY RAILWAYS

A few years ago the railroads found
it necessary to bring out another of
flee in the catalogue of officials and
they appointed a chief electrician.
His business is to look after every
thing electrical on the system. and see
that there is no hitch in the workings
of the electrical plants on trains, in
shops, offices and block signal sys-
tens. The chief is in control of at
least 200 men, who have their
branches to look after, and this branch
of the service is more closely watched
than any other outside of the actual
running of the trains by crews, dis
patchers nd-trackmen. The cleo
trician looks after the electric light
ing on the trains, and knows that
everything is in condition before the
train leaves the terminal. He travels
on the train and sees to it that there
is nothing going wrong, either in the
lighting of the train or the electric
headlight.
Some of the roads have installed
I electrical motive power in their shops
and this mea of transmission OF
power is used in every department OF
the repair shops, engine building shop
machine shops, and in fact wherever
power is required.
