western bonds were very attractive,
and II properly handled We could dis
pose of a great many Of them in the
state However, he said that II was
almost necessary that the bonds
should be In small denominations
that is to say in 800 and $500 pieces
He thought that the majority of our
bonds being $1,000 each. we would
not have nearly as good an oppor'
tunity to market them. He found this
so essential that he changed their
mortgage, which called for $1,000
bonds and had new bonds printed at
a considerable cost. He said, how
ever. that it was we'll worth the ex-
ira expense"

Plan for Topeka Southwestern.

Lamprecht Bros. and Co. OF New
York City, who are financing the To
neka Southwestern. have decided to
issue the bonds for the road In de-
nominations OF 800 and $500 because
II has been made known that Kansas
investors desire to purchase the
bonds. instead of letting all of these
securities go to eastern capital.
This information was contained In
a letter from the company to W. l.,
Taylor, the president and promoter OF
the company and in which letter M.
Taylor was asked to come to Ne"
York for the purpose of whipping in
tn shane all of the details incident TO
the beginning of the active work OF

first of the week to consider the ques-

go to all important points in the west.
For a month the general passenger
agents wrestled with the problem,
but could not reach an agreement
At the outset some one wanted to add
eighteen hours to the running time of
the fastest train between Chicago AMI
California, but the longer the passen'
ger officials talked the shorter became
the time they were willing to add to
their schedules.
While 1t was generally admitted
that the present schedules are so fast
that trains can run according to them
only under the most favorable condi.
tions. and that not half the trains
reach their destinations on time dur.
ing the winter months. no road was
willing to relinquish any advantage
which it had over its competitors
One company, running the fastest
train between Chicago and Denver
said it could not change its schedule
to Denver, but would agree to length
en- the time to other points. The
shortest lines to St Paul would moi
agree to lengthen schedules to that
point to suit their competitors witr

that when Senator Bailey examined

using his office to defeat him and
be stated as evidence OF the fact that
last May he had written the attor-
