WILL NOT RESIGN.
President Ripley of Santa Fe Attrib-

President RipIey of Santa Fe Attrib-
uteS Rumors to Strikers.
Santa Barbara. Cal, April 24.-Re-
garding the published statement that
e. p. Ripley, of the Santa Fe system,
would resign and be succeeded by
President George H. Harris. of the
Burlington system, President Ripley
said to a reporter of the Associated
Press
II have not resigned have not been
asked to resign and have no intention
of doing so. This report about my
resignation crops out every few
months and I am beginning to get
tired of contradicting it
ct think these reports are originated
by the leaders of the mechanics
unions. There have been several
strikes on the Santa Fe and these la
Dor union leaders start reports that
officers of the road are about to re-
sign from Office and a new set of Off
GERS put in in order to keep UP the
courage of the strikers, make them
believe conditions will be changed and
that they will get their old positions
back again. They think this helps to
keep the men who are supporting the
union in line. Some time ago they
had it that Mr. Kendrick, who is in
charge of our operating department
was about to resign, but this was
false and he is still lin Office. We do
not. in fact pay much attention to
such reports"

BUILD WESTERN PACIFIC.
Gould Has Placed $5O,OOO,OOO Bonds
Despite Hartman Opposition.

Denver, April 24.-Confirmation of
the report that $50,000,000 of bonds
had been placed in New York for tn G
completion of the Western Pacific rail-
road between Salt Lake City and San
Fanrcisco has been received here in a
telegram from E. T. Jeffry, president
of the Denver & Rio Grande and d.
rector of the Western Pacific, to J. 3.
Andrews, assistant to Vice President
Charles H. Schlacks of the Denver &
Rio Grande.
The message further says that the
placing of the bonds insures the build
ing OF the road as rapidly as possible.
The attempt of George J. Gould to
secure an independent outlet TO the
Pacific coast has aroused the ire Of
E. II. Hartman. The latter has been
doing all he can to force Gould 10
abandon the project of building the
Western Pacific from ogden to San
Francisco. For weeks past the South i
ern Pacific has been giving no business
to the Rio Grande that can be d.
verified to other roads
Could had hoped to secure an out
let from Salt Lake City to southern
California over the San Pedro and

BUILD MORE MOTOR CARS.
Union Pacific Is Pleased With Its
First Experiment.

First Experiment.
Omaha, Neb, April 24.@That the
Union Pacific operating officials are
satisfied with the trials of the new
gasoline motor car and believe that it
will revolutionize traffic. was attested
when the official announcement was
made that the construction of addi-
tional motor cars would begin imme-
diately. These cars will be much
larger than the one Just completed,
and which is now being successfully
operated on one of the branch lines in
this state. and which will be sent to
Portland in a few days.
Speaking of the Union Pacific plan
to build additional cars Vice President
Mohler said:
There is little doubt that when
this service is established the people
on branch lines can be accommodated
at intermediate points instead of sole
~ at the stations. They can be taken
on or can leave the cars at these
points, which will be an accommoda-
ton of great help to the travelling
public There is no doubt but that
this method of transportation will
reVolutionize the work on branch lines
and to some extent on the main lines.
It will also permit the construction by
older lines of branches of a less ex-
pensive character than those now in
operation. The roads will thus be
enabled to materially improve the
service and facilities for the benefit
of the people tributary to the present
and projected lines.
The significance of the official an
nouncement lies in the fact that while
other roads have experimental with
gasoline cars the Union Pacific has
succeeded in building the first success
full car. None of the other roads,
after thoroughly testing the expert
mental ears, decided to build addi-
tionaI cars If the Union Pacific pros
pers in its enterprise, the trunk lines
all over the country will undoubtedly
adopt the gasoline car for use on
branch lines and to some extent on
main lines"

OVER OIL PROPERTY.
Controversy Arises Regarding Fields
at PaoIa.

Controversy Arises Regarding Fields
at PaoIa.
Paola, Kan. April pa. D. Nick
erson has through his attorneys filed
suit in the district court against Louis
Baehr, J. c. Beatty and ]. T. Beatty
and c. A. Larkin. and also a suit
against Kate and Henry Lohnas. in
volving a controversy over valuable
oil property in the southwestern part
of Paola, which Beatty Bros. & Lar
kin have developed. Mr.. Nickerson
claims in his petition that in Deem
Der, 1890, he leased this land Of Louis
Baehr to drill for gas, oil, coal and
other minerals, and that according to
the lease he was to drill a gas well
to supply Baehr with light and fuel.
Some time after this, Baehr brought
suit to have his lease declared null
and void. It was decided in favor of
Mr.. Nickerson, the court holding that
the lease was valid and in force until
1915.
Later Baehr sold the land to a man
named Lohnas. who used it for garden
purposes until his death. Kate
LOhans. his widow. married again,
her second husbands name also being
Lohnas. They gave a second lease on
this land to Beatty Bros. & Larkin,
who have some of the best wells in the
field. They have a pumping plant in
operation, and are selling the oil to
the Standard Oil company. Mr.. Nick
erson claims that the lease is worth
$4,000, and asks for $4,000.

SEES BETTER DAYS.
Cattle, Grain and New Buildings
Boom MOrIand.

Boom AIOrIand.
Morland. Kan, April 24.-One of
the sprightly towns of Graham county
is Morland which is situated in the
center of a rich agricultural and
stock raising district. It has broken
the big shipping records heretofore,
and in two days last week there was
shipped from this station fifteen cars
of cattle and hogs in two days.
In less than a year the town has Sc
cured bank and newspaper, besides
the Methodists have built a church,
and more than a dozen other buildings
have been completed, both business
and residences. Among the latter is
that of the Morland Mercantile com
pany. of stone, 28xs0 feet
During the present year Morland
will break all her building records in
new buildings. Among those now
under way is the stone business block
of Cain & Son. 2Sx80 feet. two stories
high, the upper story to be used for
public hall and lodge purposes.
George w. Stober, present member
of the legislature from Graham cOun-
ty, contemDlates the erection of a
business building and a modern resi-
dence.
AIorIand needs a hotel. It is a safe
investment, as the business of the
place is a big drawing card for the
commercial men.
The deposits in the bank have more
than doubled since the commencement
of business.
The Union Pacific officials often
throw out bouquets for the business
they do at MOrland. It is a great
shipping point for grain and stock,
and the business of her merchants is
growing.

WHO GETS THE PENSION?
That's the Fight Two Widows Are
Making at Fort Scott.

Fort Scott, Kan. April 24.-Al-
though her husband has been dead
for three years, Mrs. Kate Jackson of
Rosedale, Kan, Saturday filed suit in
the district court of this county to set
aside a divorce decree granted to her
husband, John Jackson, six years ago.
The couple formerly lived in this
city. Jackson applied for the divorce
while his wife was living in Rosedale.
After getting the divorce Jackson
married another woman and died here
three years ago. The first widow ap-
piled for and secured Widows pen
sion.
The second Mrs. Jackson has ap-
piled for the pension and the pension
department sent a special agent here
to make an investigation. The first
wife to save her pension now alleges
the divorce was obtained through
fraud, and that it is invalid because no
personal service was had upon her.
The result of the suit will also settle
the title to valuable property in this
city.
