IseIieve nm Was Misouoted

Railroad operating men in Chicago
are 10th to believe James J. Hill was
quoted correctly regarding an alleged
practice of railroads to permit more
than one train to enter a railway
"block" Darius Miller, vice president
of the Burlington, a Hill road, said:
IT do not believe Mr.. Hill said that. He
NAV have said some Of the recent acct
dents were caused by more than one
train beng in block at the same time.
There is no such practice on the Bur-
lington, nor do I believe there is any
such practice in the country. If a Bur-
hngton engineer runs past q signal set
at danger, and thus enters an occupied
block, it means discharge for him, and
this, believe, is the common practice"
S. NJ. FELTON,, president Of the Alton.
and w. A. Gardner, vice president OF
the Northwestern, both expressed opin-
ions similar to that of Mr.. Miller.

GRADE CONTRACTED FOR.
Ready to Build EngIewood, Liberal and
Trinidad Road.

1t is reported from Wichita that the
first contract for throwing up the
grade for the Englewood, Liberal and
Trinidad railway had been let and that
contracts for other portions of the
roadway would be let as soon as suf-
ficient bids could be received.
Tho Englewood, Liberal & Trin1-
dad railway is to be built from Engle-
wood, Kan, to Trinidad, Col, by way
of Liberal, Kan. 1t will give Wichita
a direct line to Colorado. 1t is also
proposed to build the line to Las Va
gas by a circuitous- route around the
Glorietta mountains so as to reach the
very heart of the coal regions of New
Mexico and Colorado and evade the
heavy grades. 1t is also proposed to
divert line from this road through
Beaver, the county seat of Beaver
county, Okla, and from Beaver south
westernly to the Panhandle line OF
Santa Fe, thus Gaping the best part
of the Panhandle country not now sup
piled with railway service.
That these plans are all the proper
ty of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe is common belief. The fact that the
Englewood branch has been neglect
ed as to track repair is given as cause
for the report that the company ex-
poets to reconstruct the line and ex-
tend it further into the west.

PROMOTERS LOST $4,000.
The Gans-Herman Bout Not as Big At
traction az Expected.

San Francisco, Jan. THE pugi-
listic matchmakers of the Nevada gold
camps do not object to giving big
purses, but they evidently don't care
to have it known when the gate re-
ceipts fall short of the amount paid
the fighters Cans and Herman fought
for a purse of $4,000, and the Casino
Athletic club of Tonopah gave out
that the receipts of the sales of seats
realized $30,700. This is misleading.
The box office Accommodations amount
ed to something less than $4,000, or
$1,000 less than the purse.
The preliminary bout between Adam
Ryan and Lew Powell cost $1,000, and
a few thousands, no doubt, were spent
in advertising. The new arena is said.
to have cost $35, 600. so that the Tono-4
pah promoters must be close to $5o,-
900 to the bad over their first big
Queensberry venture. The arena is
built to stay, however, and Mike Riley
and his associates are bidding for new
attractions as though they had a dozen
Tonopah extensions at their back.

wichita MIN Can't Get His Broom
Corn Moved.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. Inability of
the railroads to move freight from
place to place Is not all the complaint
of some persons who have dealings
with them. J. A. Hockett, the broom
corn dealer, said today that he could
not get the railroad people to set his
cars after they had brought them
here loaded with broom ccrn.
81 have thirty carloads of broom
corn on the tracks in various parts of
the city" said he. But it is impossi-
BILE to get the railroads to set them at
the warehouse so they can be un-
loaded. l have men ready to do the
work, and they can unload six cars
day. but I have to keep them at other
work because I can not get the cars
set in the place to unload"

BETHLEHEM's BIG RAIL ORDER.
Sells 22.5OO Tons to the Hartman
Lines ut $S2

New York. Jan. THE Bethlehem
Steel corporation has sold 22,5eO tons
of open hearth steel rails to the .Har-
riman lines for delivery in the latter
part of this year at $32 a ton. This
represents a premium of 81 a ton over
the socalled official price of $2S for
the Tennessee Coal & Iron company's
price of s29 a ton for open hearth
rails. This is the first time in four
years that a northern steel company
has secured more than the official
price of $28. Open hearth rails are,
however, rated as a better grade than
Bessemer rails, and this is one of the
reasons why the Hartman lines have
agreed to pay a premium. e.

postoffice there are just fifty-four box
es less rented than there were before

was slight increase in the box rentals.
Whether or not the increase in the
price has anything to do with the num-
Der of rented boxes is a question. Not
a single person complained of the adj
vance; they simply didn't pay their rent
and they are now getting their mail at
the general delivery or they wait until
the mail carrier reaches them.
