SOME HARTMAN DEALS.
Methods in Merger Of Pacific Coast
Roads Told Of

SAN FRANCISCO, January 3O-At the
hearing before Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Lane yesterday much light was
thrown on the methods by which E. H.
Hartman merged the control of the rail-
ways of the Pacific coast. John B. Spree
kles, president of the Oceanic Steamship
Company related the details Of the sale of
the Coquille river road to the Hartman in
terests. He said the deal was made through
James B. Smith, head Of the Western Fuel
Company, who acted as Harriman's agent
The operation of the railroads sold to
Hartman was profitable, Spreckles said,
but the properties as a whole involved n
loss, as the steamers were not profitah v
operated.
A. H. Payson, vice president of the Santa
Fe system, testified that the Northwestern
Pacific purposed to build lines to connect
the California Northwestern of the South
ern Pacific with the San Francisco and
Northwestern, the name given to the lum-
Der railroads of the Santa Fee in Northern
California. In other words, the Santa Fe
is to have line from Willis to Eureka,
so that the Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe jointly are to have a coast line from
Eureka to San Francisco. contract has
been made between the two companies by
which each Is to have a majority in the
board OF directors every alternate year.
thus dividing the control. This contract
will be produced as evidence. 1t is now in
New York.
This fact shows that the Santa Fe aban-
doned its intention of building a through
line from San Francisco to Eureka when
1t found that an arrangement could be
made with the Southern Pacific for the use
of Its road from Willis to San Francisco
Characterization of Capt. Payson by
Attorney Lovett, for Hartman brought
out the fact that the Santa Fe rail hold
ings north of San Francisco are wholly
within California. This indicated that the
combination between the two compa MES
does not come under interstate commerce.

BALDWIN WORKS BURNED.
One Building Destroyed, With Loss of
S1,OOO,OOO.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 3O.-Fire
which started with an explosion in the
paint shop. destroyed one entire section of
the big Baldwin locomotive works last
night, entaling loss of $1,000, OOO The
destroyed building is about 175 feet long
by $50 feet deep, facing on Spring Garden
street and Immediately adjoining the main
office, at the corner of Broad and Spring
Garden streets, and the erecting shops,
smith shops and foundries on the south.
These buildings were threatened with de-
struction, as were other departments in
the rear of the destroyed building along
Spring Garden street and on 18th street,
out to fight the flames
About 1.Ovo men were employed in the
burned building, which was five stories
high; The pipe-bending department was
on the first floor, the "jacketing' or sheet
iron department on the second, a metal
pattern store room and brass fitting room
on the third, the paint shop and cab-fin-
ishing department and paint store room
signing rooms on the fifth floor.
The fire was discovered in the east end
or the building, adjoining the main office
building. few minutes before O'Clock,
and. though the flames spread quickly. ali
were able to get out of the building safely
Shortly after the fire started the upper
portion OF the wall on Spring Garden street
fell into the street, and one fireman and
three workmen were caught by the falling
bricks, but fortunately received only slight
injuries. The firemen, with the assistance
of the fire patrol from the plant succeeded
in getting the flames under control within
an hour after the fire was discovered
The administration building, adjoining
the burned structure, contains the offices
OF the president of the works, the record
and the drafting rooms. Here all the
plans for locomotives are drawn, and on
the boards work was outlined for the next
two years So crowded are the works that
no contract is made which does not contain
clause providing twenty-five months for
delivery. Much of the work already under
way in other buildings of the huge plant
depended for its completion on the preser-
walton Of these plans.
The Baldwin locomotive works is the
largest industrial plant In the United States
and employs 5000 men in this city and
nearly 10000 in departments at Lewistown
and other places. John H. Converse, presi-
dent of Durham, Williams & Co., which
operates the Baldwin plant, said that the
loss would reach probably 100000, fully
covered by insurance. The 1000 men en-
ployed In the burned building, he said
would be Immediately put to work in other
departments. The fire, he added, would
not greatly hinder work, as the depart-
ments destroyed are duplicated in other
parts of the plant.

COAL FROM AUSTRALIA.
Hartman System Finds It Cheaper
Than Using Cars to Haul.

OMAHA, Neb., January 3O.-The Harri-
man railroads are buying coal in Australia
and shipping it to the United States for use
in the locomotives of the lines of the sys-
tenn. The coal costs the railroads $40 a
ton at the docks in Australia. and by the
time San Francisco is reached the cost has
become enormous, but the shortage of
freight cars and locomotives on the Harri-
man system is such that the railroads save
money by Australian coal, instead of TAX
ing cars and engines from general traffic
and using them to haul domestic coal.
Out in Wyoming the great coal COM
panes of the Union Pacific are almost at a
standstill. Fires in the Cumberland mines
prevent work at that place. and the No. l
mine at Rock Springs, which produced 1000
tons daily, is closed because of lack of
machinery. The railroad is short nearly
1900 tons daily from that field alone. Sew
eral steamers are en- route from Australia
now with bituminous coal for the Hartman
system. and the importation will continue
until the coal famine is over.

THOSE FISH STORIES.

1t Is q rule of human thought that
man constantly goes through the pro-
cess of setting first one goal for his
achievement, gaining that goal and
then advancing the pegs to aim at
further on and up Such restlessness
as this found in an unusual degree
among the people of America &C.
counts almost wholly for the mar
velous progress that has been made in
this country within the past hundred
years. In other words there is a
little more human nature found in
rapid America than in some other
parts of the slow old world.
Striking examples of this desire to
accomplish always more and more,
to move always further and further
along the route of advancement in
thought and action, has been found
here in northern Nebraska within the
past few days. Those fish stories
have furnished the example.
A few days ago a Verdigre dispatch
in these columns told of remarkable
fish catch in the Verdigre creek. A
small fish had been drawn out of the
when very large catfish came along
and swallowed the little three-pound
fish and was hooked. After a struggle
the monster catfish was landed. Steak
from the catfish was enjoyed in a
Verdigre restaurant for supper that
night The story had the ring Of truth
and the fish editor of The News cord
tally believes that it happened. But
that is neither here nor there.
Western America is not satisfied to
stand STILL To remain stationery is
retrogression, and the west goes for
ward. Came a story from Neigh
next day. A much bigger fish had
been caught at Neigh. First small
fish was hooked. On this as bait an
other bit. Then came the monster third
fish to swallow both the other two.
A man was drawn clear across the
stream in trying to land the mammoth
catch. 1t was fish story pure and
simple, But as fish story 1t was a
clever yarn. And fairy tale though

NEEDS OF NORFOLK.

The opinion regarding Norfolk's
possibilities as expressed by number
of visiting railroad officials in the city
from Minnesota, is of value as tend
ing to show how Norfolk is seen by
the outside. These railroad officials,
in Norfolk for an inspection trip over
the NJ. & o. lines in the state, and
including the general manager, ex-
pressed the very emphatic belief that
Norfolk's paramount duty to itself
today lies in the securing of a new
industry to occupy the abandoned
sugar factory buildings. The import.
ant work of the Norfolk Commercial
club, in the opinion of these officials,
lies in gaining for Norfolk an industry
that will once again put life into those
ghostly structures, an industry that
will once more set wheels in motion
and bring a payroll to town.
Since the Norfolk sugar factory was
dismantled and shipped to a less
fertile land, for the reason that the
soil hereabouts is so productive of
easier crops as to make it difficult to
gain beet contracts, many PROPOSE
tons have been received looking to
new industries to take the place of
the sugar plant. No proposition thus
far submitted to Norfolk people con-
trolling the empty sugar buildings
has shown the possibilities believed to
be essential to any industry for whose
use the factory buildings are turned
over. But somewhere in this broad
land there ought to be an industry
that would be glad to come to Norfolk
and an industry that Norfolk would
be glad to have.
Norfolk was never so prosperous as
it is today. Bank deposits have
trebled in Norfolk since the days of the
sugar factory's birth. Postoffice re-
ceipts, an accurate guage, have steady
shown an increase in Norfolk's pros
perity and commercial activity.
Express companies have trebled their
force of men and wagons to handle
the increasing business through that
channel. Every business interest in
the city is growing steadily and sub
stantially and Norfolk today is gener-
ally prosperous. But for all Of
Norfolk's prosperity and possibilities,
the empty sugar factory buildings
hang over the towns head to ever
remind visitors of the industry that
has gone away. And the gaining Of
a new one to fill those echoing build
ings with the roar of machinery and
the hum of toll would mean much
more than merely the adding of a new
payroll to the town. 1t would mean
the wiping out of an unwholesome
vision and the elimination of present
constant menace to the city's growth.
