RAILROAD WAR INEVITABLE.
Fight VIII Be Between Gould and
Hartman for Western SUPREMACY.


Chicago, April 2s.-The new com
munity of interests plan which the
railroads have been working out for
the last three years received a severe
setback by the resignation of George
j. Gould from the dictatorship of the
Union Pacifis.
His retirement from the board of
that company undoubtedly marks a
complete division if not a hostility be-
tween the Gould and the Hartman in
terests- Hereafter, it is said, it Will
be war to the knife between the
Goulds and Harrimans for a mastery
of the western situation. as it has been
between the GOulds and the Pennsyl-
vania interests for mastery in the
eastern situation.
Now the Goulds and the Hartman
interests, which also mean the Rookie
Teller interests, are to engage in war
for supremacy in the territory west of
the Missouri river and extending clear
to the Pacific coast.
That the fight between the contend
ing intrests will be vigorous there is
little doubt. Traffic men alone real
ize what it means for a single railway
interest to have q continuous line or
railroad stretching from ocean to
ocean to the east and west and from
the great lakes to the Gulf north and
south. The power which such an or
ganization carries with it is almost
beyond conception for it means that
one interest can make rates II jill
ocean to ocean without asking permits
sion, concurrence or leave from any
one. Such a power practically gives
the railroad interests possessing 1t
complete control of transcoutinental
rates and hence Of transcontinental
tonnage.
Realizing this the most powerful
railroad interest of the east in the first
place and now the most powerful rail-
road interests in the west have de-
clared war against the Goulds and
their ambitious projects.
Mr. Gould's resignation follows
closely the underwriting of the $50
100000 of Western Pacific railroad
bonds The Western Pacific IS the
Gould extension to San Francisco
paraueing the Central Pacific at a
distance of from so to $50 miles all
the way from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco.
Mr. Gould says: IT have put in my
resignation because I thought that as
I am interested in the Western Pa
cific it would not be right for me to
remain upon the board of a competing
line I do not think that the resigna-
ton should be considered as having
any other significance"
Mr. Gould said he had also resigned
from the directorate of the oregon
Short Line. Asked "HOw about the
BurHngton?'' he replied: Il cannot
say as to that"

CROSSING RAILROAD TRACKS.
A switch1nan Relates a Few Observa-
tons.

LlO4Es
1T is a peculiar thing, the way peo-
pie will act at a grade crossing when
they see a train coming said a Santa
Fe switchman yesterday, after he had
watched a crowd pile helter-skelter
across the railroad tracks. "Of course,
it is useless to tell them again that it
is always necessary to look up and
down the track before trying to cross.
They have been told this by the rail-
ways and the newspapers and the
courts so often that they surely ought
to know it. But what I would try to
impress upon them is the necessity for
keeping their wits about them. AS
general thing, when they see the train
it is a hundred yards away. Further
than that, they would not become ex-
cited. and nearer than that they would
hardly have time to do anything-not
even to think.
"A train travelling at full speed will
cover a hundred yards in a very little
time: still it does not get over the dis
lance quicker than a horse could get
off the track if struck a good, sharp
cut The track is not very wide, you
know. The trouble is that these peo-
pie, when they realize in what q. pre-
carious position they have got them
selves, generally try to stop and turn
back. and then they will hesitate as to
which way they are going. The thing
to do is to be careful before crossing,
and if by any chance, you should be
about to get caught, don't hesitate-cut
across and do it in a hurry. Hike!"

KANSAS Crry, Mo-. Ger. 20-Cat- tie receipts this week amonnt to 91,000 head, including 1l.0OO calves; the largest run this wear. Killing steers have huctuated some with a weak tendency, but have strengthened last two days, while cows have sold strong easing up a little last day or two. Country demand continues very good, an average of 150 car loads per day going out to this trade, with prices steady to strong on desirable steers, weak to ten lower on medium and common stuff. The general quality of the range cattle IS not as good this week as last, and prices do not show as good on paper. Kill ing steers have ranged from $2.S0 to $3.60, stockers and feeders $2.95 to S3.75, with a good deal of stuff in each class at $500 to $3.25. Cows have sold mainly ut $24O to $270 with some choice Colorados at $500 and S325, and good Texas COWS $265 to S2.S5. Good veals are very scarce, and sell up to S6.25. heavy calves S2.75 to $4.OO. A few bulls and stags coming now, S2.00 10 $250 All tue markets have had extremely heavy runs this week, and conditions are gen. erally very healthy to stand up under the strain as we'll as they have.
 Sheep and lamb receipts are de- creasing, as the season is drawing to a close, and markets are 5 to g cents higher than a week ago, and active. Lambs made $7.25 this week, wethers and vearlings $5.25, ewes $475, but this is not the limit in any of these classes for prime stock. Country buyers are secur- ing some stuff, a large string of New Mexico ewes n pounds, sell ing this week at S3.90, feeding lambs at $5.SO to $6.05. Supply for the week is only 24,000, against 43,O00 last week. and small runs and a good market seem to be the prospect for awhile.
