Atlantic type locomotive that can
make eighty five miles an hour, pull
ing heavy trains. These are the
monsters fighting time for the rail-
road companies So far, there is little,
il any difference in the time of the
runs, but each road is straining every
point to set the pace 1t was report
ed in Kansas City last night that
another thirty minute cut would be
ordered today on both lines
The hardest fight, perhaps, is for
mail from st. Louis Two months
ago the Frisco put into service fast
mail train, covering the distance
from st. Louis to Monett, 2S3 miles,
III seven hours and twenty-five minu-
ues At Monett the mail is distribut-
ed to branch lines for Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Texas. The Frisco's fast
train leaves st. Louis at 2:45 O'Clock
in the morning Soon afterwards the
Missouri Pacific government mail
train starts for Kansas City and
reaches here at $50 in the morning.
Within twenty minutes mail for the
Southwest has been transferred to
two Santa Fee trains and is moving.
The Santa Fee train that passes
through Award, Ok, is the one which
has the race with the Frisco. So. far
four hours have been cut from is
schedule, and runs through Southern
Kansas and Eastern Oklahoma with
the speed of almost any limited West
ern train. 1t has caught up with the
Frisco flyer, and the two are now rae
ing each day for Award. This town is
a distributing point for mail to the
Pan Handle of Texas, and the price
the government pays for the hauling
is light.
Zone of the greatly desired sources
of revenue of the railways is the rail-
way mail contract" said an official
last night.
"a good mail contract is worth
$4,000 year. It's worth the while
for fight. Kansas City and st.
Louis are the big mail distributing
points in this part of the country. =

coal lands are being taken up.' 1t
has been generally understood for a
long time that much fraud was in
dulged in to get these lands, but no
one had any idea of the extent of the
business till the Secretary of the In
terror put the geological survey to
work in conjunction with the land
Office to find out just where the west
ern coal lands were and what meas
ures were necessary for their protec
ton. The survey has now mapped
roughly the larger coal beds of the
west, showing that there are immense
areas in Colorado, Utah. Wyoming,
Montana, idaho and New Mexico
where there are great coal measures,

(From our regular CORES ondent0
WASHINGTON, d. c., April IA, 1906.
While there is a temporary lull in
Eate legislation, the Marine commit
tee of the house is having its hands
full with the hearings on the ship
subsidy bill There have been q num-
Der of prominent witnesses before the
committee since the hearings were
commenced last week. Former Chief
Instructor Bowles, once of the navy
and now of the Fore River Ship Build
ing Co., spoke in favor of the. bill. He
contradicted the testimony of Edwin
Cramp, saying that while there was
no difference between the price of
English and American steel in Amer
lean yards, steel was % to 80 per
cent cheaper in English yards than it
was here, as American firms have at
different times in the past underbid
English. firms in providing steel for
English ships, it looks as though they
had been selling fully quarter cheap
er abroad than at home. But Mr..
Bowles is no longer an officer of the
navy He is in the employ Of a private
ship building firm, and he naturally
wants the subsidy bill passed.
There were number of other wit
nesses and letters from interested
ship owners, saying that if the sub
sidy were not granted all of the
American-Pacific lines would be fore
ed to go out of business. 1t was point
ed out that the English and Japanese
lines engaged in the Pacific trade
received large subsidies. amounting
to several hundred thousand dollars
each, while the most that any of the
American lines received was 200
for carrying the mails. AS matter
of business, it was urged, this carry
ing trade ought to be saved TO the
United States and the only way of
saving it was by a subsidy. Nothing
has yet been done in the way of re-
porting the bill, however, and it is a
question whether the speaker will
ever give it a chance on the floor.
1t is matter OF some interest to
all the people of the United States
and especially to the people of the
west, that the president has injected
himself into the fight against the IL
legal fencing of grazing land on the
public domain. There has been law
formulated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, with the approval of a special
commission, for the leasing of graz
ing lands to cattle owners in the west
at very nominal price. The income
from the leases would pay for polio
ing and seeding such parts of the
range as needed 1T and improving the
watering places on which the cattle
depend But so long as the fences
that have been Illegally erected re-
main In place, it will of course be i'm
possible for the small cattle owners to
take advantage of the new law The
president, however, has inuimated
his intention of giving the big cattle
owners a reasonable time, say sixty
days in which to remove the fences
they have erected in defiance of law
at the end of that time if they refuse,
to prosecute them vigorously
In line with the law which will
straighten out the fencing tangle of
the west, it has been decided also to
