DISSOLVE THE TRUST

Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railway Circles.

Stuart r. Knott, president Of the
Kansas City Southern railroad, has gone
to New York. and will be in that city
until April 1. when the voting trust is
to be dissolved and the ownership of
the road definitely settled.
A railway official makes the state
ment that a new deal win be offered
for the consideration of the board of
directors of this company at its meet
ing, which involves a Canada to the
gulf grain route scheme by consOlidat-
ing this system with lines running
through Iowa and into Minneapolis.
It is said the consolidation proposed
would include the Kansas City, Quincy
and Omaha to its connection point with
the Iowa Central. ana that road to the
north and east to its connection with
the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul, and
thus into Minneapolis. 1t is said that a
general proposition will be submitted
by the interests after this latest con-
solidation proposition. and that if the
board is favorably impressed, there will
be no reason for delay in completing
the consolidation
Kansas City business men would not
get the benefit from the Kansas City
Southern, proba bly,, that they do now;
at the same time it would do a good
deal more through business. The weak
point of the road is its gulf terminal,
and for that reason the newly planned
Kansas City-New Orleans line will have
an advantage. as soon as completed,
and its promoters think the newly plan

Southern will benefit them more than

THE SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Santa Fe Encourages the Growing OF
a Profitable Commodity.


Charles L. Seagraves, representing
the passenger department of the Santa
F'e railroad, has been deyoting cOnsid-
cradle time in educating the farmers
along the Santa F'e route to the profits
and advantages of raising sugar beetS-
During the past few weeks Mr.. Sea-
graves has held a number of confer
ences with those interested in the sub
ject at and around Arkansas City,
Kansas, and in several localities in
California.
1t has been found that sugar beets
may be raised profitably up and down
the Arkansas river valley. and expert
mentS which were carried on at Ar
kansas City last year almost justifes
the belief that the sugar beets may be
prohtably grown in that section. Fur
Their experiments Will be carried out
this summer by extending the area in
which the beets are grown
1t is announced that the indications
are favorable to the esta blishment of
beet sugar factory at Arkansas City
next summer.
THE sugar beet industry of the
United States is comparatively in its
infancy" says Mr.. Seagraves. Few
people realize what an important part
this unpretentious vegetable is des-
tined to play in the future prosperity
of the country. 1t alone can solve the
great economical problem: Shall this
country produce the 2,225,0O tons of
sugar that are consumed here every
year, and thus keep at home the i'm
mense sums of money represented by
the present importation?
Until the fact that sugar beets
could be raised to perfection under ir-
rigation had been thoroughly demon
strated, capital was extremely cautious
about investing $1.OOO.000 in a plant
that would probably lie idle much of
the time on account of crop failures
There were too many dangers to be
considered Excessive rains in the
spring are liable to rot the seed A
drought may hinder their coming up,
or later may stunt their growth. Fall
rains might induce a second growth
and lower the percentage of sugar.
All these discouraging features are
| overcome to great extent in irri-
gated districts, and capital now stands
ready to double the number of fac
tories in the Arkansas valley as soon
as mere Is sufficient amount of beetS
raised to warrant it There is posi-
| lively no grumbling heard among
agriculturists who raise beets for the
factories now running It matters
not in what section the farmer is To-
Gated, he has the same advantages as
II ne were within hauling distance of
the factory The Santa Fe railroad
delivers. the beets from any station in
the valley with out extra cost to the
grOwer-the first case on record where
| the farmer doesn't pay the freight.
The phenomenal success of this in
dustry under irrigation is not entirely
due to the fact that the water supply
can be controlled by the grower but
partly due to the direct action of the
suns rays upon the leaves of the sugar
beet that causes the saccharine matter
to be stored up in its roots. So that
the sunshine, like the rich soil and the
water, must be considered as a part of
the farmers assets"

TO BUILD REFINERIEs.
Southeast Kansas viii Be DeIuged
With Oil Business.

Caney, Kan, March As the re-
suit of laws recently passed for the
protection of oil business, it is esti-
mated that 81 900, 900 will be invested
in Independent refineries and pipe
lines in Kansas within the next four
or five months. There are now more
than a dozen propositions before the
various towns in the oil belt. Chanute
is negotiating for four ref1neries, one
from a syndicate of New Workers,
which desires to put up d plant with
daily capacity of 1900 barrels; one
from a Beaumont concern for a re-
fnery with a capacity of 500 barrels;
one from the National Refining com
pany of Bakersfield. Cal. and Chicago,
with a daily capacity of 1900 barrels,
and another from a. local syndicate for
500 barrel refinery at Niotaze. This
also involves the construction of a pipe
line. The sta&te refinery at Peru will
have a daily capacity of 1000 barrels.
At Paola money has been raised and
the material ordered for a small re-
| hnery There is a proposition at indie
pendence for a 1900 barrel plant. In
addition to these refinery plans there
is the independent pipe line, which
the Corn Planter people will build to
| st. Louis.

He "SET EN- UP"
senator waggener's and Governor
Hoch's Exchange of Humor-

Some days ago Governor Hoch
vetoed a bill because an exact copy
of the bbil had already been passed
by the legislature and signed by him.
In his veto message Governor Hoch
suggested that as the joke was on Mr..
Trigg, of Anderson county, in trying
to pass two bills just alike, he ought
to ''set 'em up
This demanded the attention of Sen
ator Waggener, the Democratic SEN
ator from Atchison. He introduced
the following resolution few days
ago and the senate adopted it:
Whereas, The governor, in his mes
sage vetoing senate bill 341, recon-
mended that the gentleman from An
derson county, Mr.. Trigg, be required
to "set EN- up" and
Whereas, Kansas being a prohibit
ton state, the recommendation of the
governor that a member of the house
be required to set EN- up is an i'm
putation upon the good name of the
state, if the governor of the state
used the phrase set 'em up in the
common acceptation of the term as
understood by all good Democrats,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the governor be re-
quested. at his earliest convenience,

Friday afternoon Governor Hoch sent
a
reply to the Waggener resolution. The
message read:

the senator from Atchison county re-

This expression, used playfully and
without having any particular meaning,
and possibly hardly COMFORTING with
the dignity of your body, seems to have
had, if not a good. at least an unex-
pected effect in that it has caused the
emaciated corpse of the Kansas Democ-
racy to take on the semblance of life

NORTHERN SECURITIES.
Analysis of Causes Contributing to
Rise of Stocks.

The advance in Northern Securities
stock in the last few months has been
generally attributed to circumstances
which have reflected themselves in a
large raise in Great Northern pre-
ferred. That stock has risen 100
points, which is equivalent to a fifty
five point advance in that portion of
Northern Securities stock issued for
acquisition of Great Northern. 1t
may, however, turn out that the
Northern Pacific has been responsible
for a large part of Northern Securities
advance Northern Pacific stock, be-
ing all tied up, has not been quoted in
the market, and consequently, there
has been no reflection of Northern Pa
cific affairs, as such. so far as the
stock market is concerned.
The Northern Pacific reports gross
earnings except in the annual state
ment for the fiscal year ending June
30 Taking the gross earnings for the
six months ending Dec. 81, the follow
ing estimate has been made:
Gross earnings (reported) ........ SIG, SIG, $50
Expenses. taxes (estimated) ...... 100000
Net earnings (estimated) .......-. 13516,SS0
Other income lestimated) --..-.... 100000
Gross income (estimated) -......-. 14316,O00
liked charges go $50 e GEO
surplus 10, l66, $50
1t is safe to say that in the six
months ended Dec. 81, the company
earned its proportion of fixed charges
for the half year and a surplus equal
to fully z per cent on the capital
stock.
Assuming the remaining six months
of the fiscal year to show as well as
they did last year, the company would
earn for the year a surplus over fixed
charges of fully SIG, 100000 or better
than u per cent on the capital
stock.
Northern Pacifc's cash holdings
must at present be enormous in view
of the fact that it has not been per-
mitted to pay dividends for a year At
the date of the last annual report it
excess of s17.OO0.OOO excluding cash
owned by the Northwestern Improve
ment company. Since that time there
has been added from earnings the best
part of S11 600, 900. and it is undoubt-
edly safe to figure the total cash at
