Railroad Men Divided on Question Of
Whether New Fast Trains Pay.

Railroad Men Divided on Question Of
Whether New Fast Trains Pay.
From Denver Times.
| Considerable discussion among rail
road men both east and west is now
being INDUCED on the subject, do
speed trains pay?" Many railroad men
in the east have been interviewed on
this subject since the disastrous wreck
Of the twentieth century limited and
/ they have given a negative reply. A
+ number OF railroad men In Denver,
] whose names are withheld, are also
positive in their statements that the
speed trains are very expensive and
| that they do not pay.
The expenses Of extra crews and
advertising, the wear and tear on
equipment, on rOadbeds and ON ner-
YES, extra coal consumption, Wallets,
maids. stenographers, malIicurisss and
other features go lar Is oEsct the
extra fare cnsrgr-i and 1roate = de-
felt, it is said. Besides, the slightest
congestion along the road, causing
delay, results in the train being late
in arriving at the ultimate terminal
point, which necessitates a refund Of
part OF the extra fare charged.
The two speed trains that have
been the center Of interest IN The ra'.-
way world recently are the twentieth
century limited on the New York
Central and Pennsylvania flyer. Over
the Pennsylvania system the distance
is COS miles by the Central and Lake
Shore in the neighborhoOd Of 965
miles. The grades along the Allegheny
mountains, however, on the Pennsyl-
vania route are quite a handicap. In
addition to this, there is about twenty
minutes to be taken on the eighteen
hours for ferry allowance between
New York and Jersey City Conditions
are therefore about equal, if not in
favor Of the Central.
The average speed on the PennsyI-
vania is about ffty-one miles an hour,
and on the Central about hfty-three
and One-half miles
Weight OF Trains.
The equipment Of these trains must
necessarily be the best that money
can buy. On the Pennsylvania each
locomotive carries about 22,4OO
pounds Of coal. The average con
sumption is about $4,000 pounds to
a run. About $500 gallons Of water
are carried Fully equipped with coal
and water each engine weighs about
$50 tons. Independent Of the engine
the weight Of the train is A77,0OO
pounds, or about 223 tons
The same type OF engine IS used TO
haul the New York Central train as
far as Buffalo, where the prairie type
is brought into use The engines in
service on the Central weigh a little
less than those on the Pennsylvania,
but the train is heavier, Weighing
about $50 tons
The actual cost Of running one OF
these flyers from New York to Chi
cago has not been announced, but it
will not be hard for one to realize
that the expense must be enormous.

for the first time in many years and
the picture was taken by a local pho.
tographer and copies framed for all
the members of the family. A finer
looking family could not be found.
The ten sons are Lincoln, Ellsworth
E., and Joseph W., of Exline; Charles
of Moulton; Henry and Carl of Exline
George Of Centeryille; Ray of Exline;
Roy of Keokuk and Harry. who is still
at home. George is freight conductor
and. Roy and Harry are passenger
brakemen for the Burlington railroad

BENEFITS JOBBKRS.
REDUCTION OF ILLINOIS DIS.
! TANcE TARIFF WILL BE FELT
z BY LOCAL SHIPPERS
Action Of the Warehouse Commission
ers of Sister State in Reducing Rate
Twenty Per Gent Is Welcomed by
Ottunwa Merchants.

Ottumwa shippers and .jobbers will
be greatly benefited by the reduction
of 20 per cent of the Illinois distance
tariff, which has been made by the
warehouse commissioners Of the state
and will go into effect January 1, 1906.
For years the shippers and jobbers of
Illinois have commended for a reduc-
ton of the state distance tariff. and
there was general surprise manifest
ed when the commissioners announced
that the tariff will be reduced. Illi-
nois merchants will derive benefits,
though they will not exceed those of
Ottumwa. Among all cities in the
state the reduction of 20 per cent on
the first classes are the following:
Dry goods, groceries, furniture, hard
ware, boots shoes, stationery cloth
ing, ETC. All shipments to Ottumwa
from Illinois cities will be made at a
| 20 per cent lower rate. In addition
to this Milwaukee will be placed on
the same basis as Chicago, and Of
tumwa iobbers will receive goods
from the Brewery City at the same
rate as from the Windy City. The
rates on st. Louis shipments will be
4 decreased and will be practically the
same as those of Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Louis rates are de-
creased to give them an even fight
for the business of the middle west.
The Western Trunk line committee
makes the rates for these cities, and
when the Illinois distance tariff was
reduced, action was taken to give
Milwaukee and st. Louis a show for
the business. Ottumwa jobbers after
the new rate is put into effect will
have equal competition with all Hi
nois towns.
"The reduction in the Illinois dis
lance tariff will greatly benefit Ottum
wa" said prominent local shipper
Gin the first place we will not be cut
out of any business by lower rates
and will be able to receive and shiI
goods at better advantage. Compe
tition will continue the same as be
fore, and the benefits will be derived
by the shipper and jobbers in the
lower rates"
The reduction does not include coal
the shipments of which are the big
gest of Illinois outputs.
