PREDICTIONS SEEM GOOD.
Pennsylvania Road to Earn $3.50, ,O0O,-
600 on Eastern Lines.

New York, Oct. 7.-Predictions that
the gross earnings on the lines of the
Pennsylvania railroad directly opera
ted east of Pittsburg, would reach
S1S0, ,000, GOO for the fiscal year ending
than in 1904, bid fair to be realized.
That estimate was based on the ex-
pectation that the earnings on these
eastern lines would average at least
S11, 500. .O0O a month for the last five
months of the year. August has now
shown s11, 1,91489S and September viii
doubtless exceed this. How large cur
rent gross earnings are running may
be realized when it is remembered
that not until this year have the gross
earnings in any month been as large
as 81, ,000, ,O00 and it is expected that
some of the closing months of 1905
will pass the s12, 900 mark Already
three months in 1905 have surpassed
81. .4OO. 600.

CANNOT DRILL FOR OIL.
Santa Ee Must Not Use Right of Way
for This Purnose.


Decision has been given by the dis
trict court at Sedan, Kan. making
permanent the temporary injunction
secured against the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa F'e Railway company by the
PittsbuFg Crude Oil & Gas company,
of Pittsburg, Kan. This decision pro-
hibits the railroad company from bor-
ing for oil on its right of way and is
of such importance that the road will
carry it probably to the highest court.
The oil company has one of the
best oil properties in the state and
after it had bored several wells, some
parties under the name Of Jones eros,
began drilling an oil we'll near those
of the local company on the Santa Fe
right of way under the terms Of a
lease from the railroad company. The
Pittsburg company took the view that
the Santa Ee could not allow wells to
be drilled on its right of way and i'm
mediately brought an Injunction suit
to stop the drill. This suit was first
argued last May, and resulted in the
granting of a temporary injunction.
The matter came up for a final hear
ing at Sedan a couple of days ago and
the court, after a full hearing had
been given, made the injunction per-
manent and sustained the Pjttsburg
company in every point it made The
case has proven an interesting one to
oil men all over the state because the
points involved were new to law in
Kansas and haze a bearing on every
oil property in Kansas through which
a railroad passes.

EXPERT on CATTLE RATES.
Says They should Be Lower on Live
stock Than ON Dressed Meat.

Chicago. Oct. 7.-Expert testimony
on the subject of freight rates was
given in Judge Bethea's court Friday
in the interstate commerce commits
sion suit against Il western railroads
T. w. Tomlinson, secretary of Amer
lean Stock Growers association of
Denver, traffic agent for the Chicago
Live Stock exchange and for fifteen
years connected with the freight de-
partment of a number of western
roads, was on the witness stand and
was questioned at length by counsel
regarding his opinion of the reason
ableness of rates on cattle, dressed
meat and packing house products.
I'm my opinion the present rates on
live stock from Missouri river points
and southern Minnesota to Chicago
are too high" said he. 1.-THE rates on
live stock should be lower than on
dressed meat and packing house pro-
duets from these points. Even with
equal rates on these commodities, the
live stock interest will be discrimi-
mated against. The present schedules
are unfair to Chicago. They give an
advantage to the South ST Paul and
Missouri river market"
During his testimony MT Tomlin-
son endeavored to compare the rates
on live stock and packing house pro-
ducts shipped to Chicago, and the rail-
road lawyers objected but were over
ruled. The witness declared that If
the rates to New York from Chicago
were the same as from Missouri river
points to Chicago there would be little

There is talk in Washington that in
