QUICK ROUTE 10 GLORY.
Passenger Trainmen Are Reinstated as
Conductors


An unusual controversy. and per-
haps one without precedent. has just
been settled between the New York
Central and the Order of Railway
Conductors and the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
During the Pan-American six pas
senger trainmen were promoted to be
passenger conductors After the expo
sition they were put back on their reg
ular runs again as trainmen. To that
they protested, and demanded that they
be continued as passenger conductors.
The New York Central has an agree
ment. Jointly with the conductors and
trainmen, that a trainman. must brake
on freight for eighteen months before
he can take the examination for con-
ductor. and that the route Of promo
ton shall be freight brakeman. freight
conductor and passenger conductor. It
is generally accepted that a freight
brakeman who takes a position as pas
senger trainman forfeits his rights to
promotion to freight conductor.
The passenger conductors opposed
the reinstatement of the men, but it
has been done, nevertheless.

MONEY IN CATTIE SHIPPING.
Missouri. Kansas & Texas to Have
Greater Gain This Year.

Greater Gam his a ear
Denison, Tex. May 3.-since April 1
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas has ham
died over the Fort Worth division over
$4,000 head of cattle. The total num-
Der of carloads handled up to today
was 4.7s3. The highest number of cars
handled in any one day was sos. which
broke the record on the Missouri KAN
sas &. Texas.
While the heavy part of the cattle
movement is supposed to be over, the
cattle will continue to move to northern
pastures for another month. It is ex-
pected that the movement will be about
the same this year as last season. which
was the largest in the history of the
road.
The Missouri. Kansas & Texas Will
make more money this year than last
on the cattle shipments, as almost all
of the cattle has gone over the Katy to
the pastures. Last year large pro-
portion of the shipments was turned
over to the Rock Island, while this
year the Rock Island has received no
cattle from the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
has thus had the long haul.

BETTER PRICES FOR LAND.
Demand for Farms in Western Kansas
Increasing.

Marysville. Kan, May 3.-Priees of
western Kansas land have advanced
rapidly in the past five years. Land
which three years ago could have been
bought for $3.50 an acre is selling today
Tor $50. Weekly excursions are run
every Tuesday over the Union Pacific
out of this section to take land buy
ers west Many people are locating in
the west and it is believed that every
acre of ground put under the pillow
helps to retain the moisture and as
sists in maintaining good conditions on
the land adjacent. There has not been
a prolonged drought in the west for
five years and land owners claim they
can raise as much wheat on an acre
of cheap western Kansas land as they
can on land in this section of the state
worth $50 an acre.

private refrigerator car lines have not
sent out a new icing tariff for this sea-

The Missouri, Kansas & Texas this
