will be over the Emporia cutoff to
Emporia and from thence to Newton
over the main line. From Kansas
City to Newton the Santa Fe has
ton are located the largest yards on
the Santa Fe system. Just west OF
Newton is the little station of Sand
Creek which also has extensive yards.
From Newton the freight traffic will
be routed south to Wellington from
whence it will take the Panhandle
division to Amarillo and thence over
the Belen line.
For the present, however, the traf-
fc will be merely local traffic in both
freight and passenger business. Be-
fore the through traffic can be d.
verted over the cutoff extensive I'M
Panhandle division. Many steep
grades will have to be reduced and a
large numbersofs low places will have
to be filled in. The crews and outfits
used in the Belen construction are
now at work on the Panhandle line
and when this is completed the Santa
Fe will have one of the best lines il
the west for through freight.
The new passenger service which
will be installed next Wednesday will
consist merely of one local passenger
train each way day. Later on the
passenger service will have to be in
creased but for the present the one
train will suffice for the traffic. The
westbound passenger train will make
a connection at Amarillo with No. 5,
the California and Ell Paso train. The
train will leave Amarillo at $50 a. IN.
Texico will be reached at 1920 p. m,
central time. and the train will re-
main there until 11:40 a. m. mountain
time. The train will reach. Belen at
9:4O p. m. and the train will run up
to Albuquerque, reaching there at
1O:45 D. m. The return train leaves
at 7:05 a. M; Belen at
$50 a. M; Texico at $3.50 p. m. and
Amarillo at 10:45 p. m.

HOW LONG HAVE
YOU HAD 1T

Kidney disease may develop sudden
ly and become fatal in a few weeks
but this is rare. 1t usually appears
with mild symptoms, although as the
kidneys are not sensitive it may have
been developing for months seven
years. It is usually durable the first
few weeks-in fact, it often gets well
of itself. But if 1t has been long
enough in the system to have become
chronic (fastened) the books then de-
clare it to be incurable. Right here
is the crucial question:: VIZ, HOW
LONG HAVE YOU HAD IT? If it has
been in the system for some months,
there is only one thing known that will
reach it and we have sent for it. 1t
differs from all kidney treatments in
this tremendously important point-it
is the only one that reduces infamma-
ton and corrects the kidney function
AFTER it has become chronic. as well
as before. As there is no sharp divid-
ing line marking the time when the
trouble changes to the chronic form
isn't IL as clear as MONDAY that
should take at once the only known
specific that reaches it in ali stages?
The annual deaths are over $4,000
10 per day. These census figures
show how appallingly serious and pre-
valent this thing is getting to be that
is innocently referred to in the homes
as kidney trouble

ANOTHER OFFICIAL RESIGNS.
Tax Commissioner HighIeyman Re
tires From Service on Gould Lines.

S. L. Highleyman, tax commissioner
of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain,
with headquarters in st. Louis, will at
the close of the year sever his connec-
ton with the company after thirty
six years of railroad service. He
leaves of his own volition, believing
that he is entitled to a rest from the
onerous and exacting duties of the
tax department. Vice President
Clarke and the heads of departments
of the Gould lines with whom Mr..
Highleyman comes in daily contact
express sincere regret in losing his
services, and he retires with the best
wishes of all for many years of we'll
earned happiness and repOse.
Mr.. Highleyman began his railroad
career with the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas in February, 1872, as general
claim agent. In 1874 the state senate,
sitting as the board of equalization, as
sesSed railway property for the pre-
vious year, and, the assessment being
regarded as confiscatory, the railroads
applied for an injunction to prevent
the collection of the taxes. Judge Jno.
F. Dillon of the United States circuit
court, now general counsel of the Mis-
souri, Pacific in New York, held that
before an injunction could issue the
railroads should offer to pay the
amounts in the various counties con-
ceded to be due. This left the adjudi-
cation and compromise of the differ
ence between the railroads and the
county officials. Mr.. Highleyman was
selected to represent the Missouri
Kansas and Texas in the adjustment,
and his efforts were so. satisfactory
that the company determined to es-
a tax department, appointing
him tax commissioner
This was the beginning of the tax
now known to all the
large railroad systems, and since that
time Mr.. Highleyman has faithfully
and conscientfously represented the
Gould lines interests in all matters of
assessment before the respective state
boards in the west and southwest.

DECISIONS FOR RAILROADS.
Handed Down by Commerce Commits.
sion in Case of X. G. Shippers.


sion in Case of X. G. Shippers.
Washington, Dec. 13-In an opinion
rendered late yesterday by Commits
sfoner Clark, the interstate commerce
commission announces it's decision in
one report of eleven cases, all of them
of live stock dealers and shippers in
Kansas City against the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas Railroad company and two
or three other carriers. The question
involved was that of rates on live stock
from various points in thesewesta.to
Kansas City and the facts in each case
were substantially the same. The COM
mission held that carrier may, be-
cause of commerce condition or com
petition, establish at given point an
especially low rate but it does not fol-
low necessarily that all like traffic
moves through that point in the same
direction must be given the benefit of
that low rate. The commissioner also
held that specific through rate or the
lawful rate for a through shipment
even though some combination of rates
make a lower rate but the carrier may
not charge the higher through rate
upon one shipment and the lower COM
bination rate upon another The COM
mission further held that neither car
rier nor an agent of a carrier may act
as forwarding agent for a shipper in
such manner as to evade the purpose
of the law. AS no complaint of the
of the through rates was
made the commission denied the com
mission for reparation in all cases
Mr.. Clements rendered the opinion of
the. commission in the case of the
Southwestern Kansas Farmers and
Business Mems league against the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe and other
carriers. The complainant questioned
the reasonableness of rates on coal from
mines in the Rockvale and Trinidad
district, decided that the rates were I'M
reasonable and order them to be re-
duced in accordance with the com
plants petition by January 20, 1908 !

First Passenger Train on Belen
Cutoff Next Wednesday.
Line Ready For Service After
Four Years of Construction.
FOR FREIGHT TRAFFIC
New Extension Avoids High
New Mexico Ranges.
Other Items CT Interest in
Railway Circles.

Regular train service will be estab-
hshed on the Belen cutoff next We'd
nesday, December Is. The Belen cut
off, or Eastern Railway of New Mex
leo, as the new line is known officially,
has just been completed after long,
tedious construction work of nearly
four years.
The Belen cutoff extends from
Texico, on the western end of the Pan
handle division through Belen. small
station a short distance south of AL
buQuerQue, west to Rio Puerco. where
it connects with the coast lines. thirty
four miles west from Denver. The
train service over the new line will
start at Amarillo, Texas. From ANA
rillo, to Texico on the Texas-New
Mexico line the distance is So miles,
while from Texico to Rio Puerco the
distance is 270 miles, making a total
mileage of 365 miles over the new
cutoff.
The work on the Belen cutoff was
completed last week. The track on
the new line is a standard track and is
as good a piece of work as there is
on the entire Santa Fe. 1t was con-
structed at an enormous expense and
should eventually prove very profit
able piece of property for the Santa
Fe.
The Belen cutoff will give the Santa
Fe two routes to the coast. There
will be but little difference in their
mileage, however. and although it has
been generally understood that the
new line is shorter. the two lines will
be about equal in length. The Belen
line, however, will be much better for
freight service, as it will take away
the heavy traffic from the old route
which has to cross the Ration and
Glorietta mountain ranges. AS these
two ranges average in height about
$500 feet, the cost of transportation
will be greatly reduced.
The new line was constructed prin-
clpally for freight traffic and will
6oubtless relieve the main line of a
vast amount of through traffic. IL
may be in time that through passen-
ger trains will run over this cutoff,
but it is not likely to happen within
several years. as the country which
the new line traverses is not as thick
ly populated as the country along the
main line.
However. it is destined to become
the leading freight line of the Santa
Re. The through freight from Kansas
City will be routed over the Belen
cuton From Kansas City the route

ANOTHER LID FOR ST. PAUL.

that the IL o'clock lid be put on. Com
mittees of the Epworth Leagues of the

end in view. The Mayor thought it was
up to the Commission rather than to
committee called upon him he stated that
would like to have him and didn't know
as he would If he could.
Then the executive committee Of the

dressed a communication to Attorney
General Young asking him to take the
necessary steps to secure the enforce
ment of the II o'clock law in st. Paul
Meanwhile a delegation of st. Paul
bus mess men called on the Attorney Gen.
eral to prevent his taking any rash"
steps in the matter. They thought the
II O'Clock lid, as provided by the ordi-
nance, just the thing for business and
morals. Mr.. Young gave them to under
stand that IL O'Clock was the closing
hour over the entire state as well as in
the cities and that there could be no devi-
alton from that policy as far he was
concerned When violations We're shown
all he could do was to assist in the

torney General that his official head was

"MALT" MUST GO,

The Minnesota supreme court has vim
dicated the justice of the fight of the
Prohibitionists in Minneapolis and else
where against so called Malt intoxicants
with which the state was being flooded
by the brewers. The Minneapolis Chief
Of Police thereupon issued orders to stop
the sale of the drink at all places except
saloons. The brewers will doubtless con-
tinue to place upon the market similar
beverages, decreasing the proportion of
alcohol as public sentiment on the SUBJ
