RAISE THEIR OWN RICE.
The F1Iipinos soon win Be Able to
Stop ImportatiOns.

Manila. Aug, s1,7-Governor Ide has
received reports S stating that during
the fiscal year ending on June 80 the
inaportatious of rice TO the Philippines
decreased e1sOT2.411 pounds, valued
at s3,0s4, 1873 in gold. Commenting on
the reports Governor. Ide said:
prom these reports 1t appears that
the number of pounds of rice import
ed into the Philippines during the
fscal year of 1906 was something less
than three-seventfls Of the importa-
lions in 1901. and the sum sent out
from the islands for rice was less than
four-elevenths of the sum sent in
1894
IF the same ratio Of decrease con-
tinues for d year, or even semester,
no more rice will be imported, and IN
two years the islands besides supply
ing the home demand ought to be ex-
porting rice"
The publications of the report has
caused a controversy. The local ship
pers contend that the decrease of i'm
portal tons is a result OF the poverty
of the people, who it IS alleged are not

HURLEY DENIES IT.
About Twenty Men win BE Brought
From California.

Exaggerated reports have become
public regarding the contemplated
Santa F'e railroad move in transfer
ring portion of the work of the Los
Angles general Offices to the general
Offices of the company at Topeka.
A report was circulated which was
published in the State Journal indicat-
ing that 200 employees OF the Los An
geles Offices would be moved to To-
peka. This report was not conflrme1-
j. E. Hurley, general manager Of the
company, denies enphatically that any
such move is contemplated.
There is an element of truth in the
report" says Mr.. Hurley, but it is
absurd to state that the move will af-
feet 200 men, 1t will in reality affect
but about dozen clerks, and not more
than twenty at the highest. There is
nothing in the report that the Office
of superintendent Of transportation will
be moved to Topeka from Chicago.
Only a portion of the work of the
auditing department Will be transfer
red from the California offices to To-
peka. One auditing department ham
dies the auditing of passenger receipts,
freight receipts and disbursements at
Los Angeles, whereas there are three
separate departments for the handing
of the respective branches at Topeka
The contemplated move will AFFECT
only the clerks in the Los Angeles
offices who handle the auditing of
uterine accounts. both freight or
passenger. BY "interline" accounts is
meant business that originates on some
road other than the Santa Fe. and
which passes over both the Atchison
lines proper which are the lines from
Chicago to Albuquerque and Ell Paso,
and the Santa Fe coast lines, which are
the lines between Albuquerque and
Los Angeles and San Francisco.
As the business is now handled two
separate settlements have to be made
with eastern connections of the Santa
Fe for business which originates on
said eastern connections.
The proposed changes which it IS
planned viii be worked out within
sixty days contemplate only the re
moval to Topeka of such clerks of the
Los Angles Offices handle this
'Interline" business, and the move is
made for the purpose of facilitating
the making of settlements of the 'in-
terline'"' business. making it necessary
to handle but one set of accounts in
making such settlements instead of
two separate accounts as is necessary
under the present arrangement.
