VIII Interfere With Develop

LAND AGENTS SUFFER.

Railroad men believe that the new
interstate commerce law, which goes
into effect August %. viii result in de-
laying the development Of the newer
sections Of the country. They argue
that the fact that they viii no longer
be permitted to furnish free transpor-
tation to a land agent who takes set
tlrs into the territory served by the
roads will result in fewer settlers go
ing there. and a consequent lack OF de-
velOpment.
While the spirit of all laws passed
by CONGRESS is declared not to be con-
trarv to the development Of the coun-
try vet it is plain that the new inter
state commerce law IS not 1ntehQeu 70
be stretched far enough to permit the
granting Of passes to land agents IN
terested in the development Of a sec
tiOn of the country, passenger men pc
lieve. Most of them hold that the land
agents pass is a thing now forbidden,
and that in the future no more OF them
viii be issued.
There IS no doubt in my mind that
the new law will interfere with the de-
velopment Of the newer sections of the
country declared a passenger trafhc
official YESTERDAY "Of course we have
never believed that we had the legal
right to give d land agent a pass when
he is taking hOmesee kers into new
country but we have done so upon the
theory that the general good requires
it. And these passes have aided
great deal i'm building up the new sec
tions Of the country.
Just what viii be the effect upon
this development when the land agents
are denied their passes is more than ]
am now prepared to say. OF course
the larger land concerns viii operate
s they always have done. except that
they viii pay their railroad fares, but
a great many of the smaller concerns.
where only two or three homeseekers
are taken out at time and frequently
trips are made without sales or com
missions, viii suffer. Many of them.
no doubt. viii be forced to quit bust
ness, or will be compelled to make
such charges that their profits will be
greatly decreased"
Other interests than the land bust
ness viii be affected by the loss of
transportation, another passenger man
declared yesterday. He cited the irri-
cation projects of the northwest. where
there is an effort being made to inter
est eastern capital In the past these
financiers We're taken out by the rail-
road companies and shown the project
with the hope OF getting them to in
vest their money. Now If they are
taken out they will have to pay their
fare or the promoting company will be
compelled to do so. In either case, the
project will undoubtedly suffer
All of the western roads are laying
their plans to cease giving free trans
portation, except such as is permitted
by the new law, as soon as the statute
goes into effect. The free transoorta-
ton clause, however. is not effective
until January /, 1907.

GAS FOR WICHITA.
VIII Be Using the Real Article Along
in October

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 10.-Pipe, burn
ers and other fixtures to the amount Of
six carloads have been purchased for
the construction of a natural gas sys-
tenn in Wichita. The six carloads of
supplies are now in this city.
Concerning his visit to Wichita Mr..
Walsh. manager, said:
Everything is in readiness for the
laying of the pipe and work will com
mence in a few days. Laborers have
been contra ted for and fixtures are
arriving. Our company's pipes will
connect with those of the Wichita Nat
ural Gas company's, which have the
contract for piping the gas from the
oil fields in the north part of Wichita
near the stock yards. From there the
pipes viii radiate to all parts of the
city.
I'VE have contracted to lay between
15 and so miles of pipe in the city,
but this will be extended according to
the increase of business. The mains
Will run through the alleys, but the
outline map of the exact line of work
has not been finished
when the work can be completed
can not be definitely said, but it will
be ready for the distribution of gas far
in advance of the main line from IN
dependence An estimate could be
made that Wichita will be using nat
ural gas by the middle OF October"
