The Railroads and the People.


Thote who have so glibly discussed
measures TO reduce the revenue and re-
wise the practise OF the railroads viii
find that truth lies at the bottom Of the
well by reading the article entitled
1.-THE Farmer. the Manufacturer and
the Railroad" in the November NUM-
Der OF the North American Review.
Upon premises obtained from the pub
LEGATIONS and from the officers of the
United states government, Mr.. Logan
Il. Mcpherson demonstrates that the
railroads pay a higher average salary
than either the farm or the factory.
and that they obtain "a greater pecuu-
larry return for each dollar Of eN-
penditure than either the form or the
factory, but that Notwithstanding this
the net return 90 the railroads for
each dollar OF capital BIS less than one
half OF the net return o. the farmers
and less than one-third Of the net re-
turn 20 the manufacturers.
The farmers during the last ten
years have waNed and prospered; the
owners of the mills and mines have
piled up manifold profits, and the ma
tion has rcjoiced exceedingly thcreat.
The railroads, NO less am important
factor in the industry and the conf
merce OF the country, have had 90
struggle 20 keep abreast of the mount
inE traffic in the face Of public ohloquy
ongeudered and fomented by politi-
clans There are indications that the
people In whom Abraham Lincoln
placed his trust are opening their
eyes 90 the performance Of the rail-
roads and their needs. That part of

ANOTHER QUAKE FELT
BIG SHOCK YESTERDAY NOT
YET LOCATED.

The weather bureau today issued the
following bulletin:
"A small earthquake shock was recorded
al the weather bureau the morning of
october II, beginning at about hours
20 minutes am. 18th meridian time and
lasting three-Quarters of an hour
1T Is quite possible that this record
may represent an after shock Of the great
disturbance recorded throughout the world
yesterday The disturbance Is SO small.
however. that all its characteristics are
not clearly defined. The relatively strong
motion occurred from 6:35 to $40 am
The maximum motion was greatest in the
east and west direction, but amounted to
only about one two-hundredth part of an
inch. The distance of the disturbance
may be placed at approximately five thou
sand miles from Washington but no esti-
mate can be made as to the direction"
Cannot Locate It.
NEW YORK, October 17-Inquiry among
all of the cable companies yesterday
failed to disclose any interruption of COM
munication in the two Americas. Those
lines which run through the West Indies
and to Central and South America were
reported as working smoothly, and the Of
ficials of the companies said that none of
their offices or those Of their come citing
lines to the south had reported any earth
quake disturbance. AS the field thus COW
cred embraces all Of the West Indies all
of Central America and both coasts of
South America, 1t Is evident that the
quake recorded by various seismograpfls
today did not occur at any largely popu-
lated region on the western hemisphere.

places in Japan, at Strasburg, Potsdam
La1bach. Austria; Goetlingen, several
points in Russia. Harpoot, Turkey; Asia
Minor, In Australia, the Samoan Islands
and from the coast and geodetic sur
veys stations at Honolulu and in the
Philippines.
There is said to be a strong feeling
IN scientific circles in favor of request
ing Congress to create distinctive
seismographic bureau.
At the weather bureau the precise
beginning of yesterdays quake cam
not be made out, but 1t was noticed, be-
lore the strong motion began, that an
earthquake was occurring. and the rec
ord was adjusted to the middle pOr-
ton of the sheet. Even with this pre-
caution the motion of the instrument
was so great as to carry the record
lever far beyond the margin of the
sheet so that this disturbance was
evidently of considerable violence. The
strong part of the motion began at
OLA am. but its duration was rela-
lively short and subsidized at about $40
am, seVenty-fifth meridian time
The Toronto observatory estimates the
distance of the quake at > 900 m les, at a
point presumably south. Its Oificia S re-
port the matter as an extraordinary earth
shock, the extreme tremors of which ex-
ceeded during three minutes the scale
limit of the instrument. The preliminary
tremors were noted at 900 a. M the large
waves at 9:12 to 9:15, and the sturbance
continued until 1915
The seismograph at the coast and geo.
detic survey magnetic observatory at
Cheltenham, Md, showed that the vbra-
lions began at S:53:46 a. m, eastern stand
ard time. and continued for about two
hours, the maximum being reached at
from OLA to go. Peculiarly, the college
officials at Amherst, Mass, report that
the seismograph showed no record yester-
day of any earth shocks.
A dispatch received last night from
London said:
The observatory on the Isle of Wight
a severe earthquake TODAY, he
ginning at 2:15 p. m. and lasting more than
four hours. The distance of the disturb
ance Is placed at 5000 miles"
The observatory at Laibach, Austria.
also recorded an earthquake at practical
ly the same time. lasting for two homrs
and half and at a distance of ESQ
miles Va o'~"

California Prune Growers Pool

SAN JOSE, Cal, October 17.-Twenty-
six growers Of prunes have pooled the
product of their orchards in an organi-
Zatdon founded at Campbell and are hold
ing $50 tons belonging to the members
until the market reaches the price they
have set for sale. The crop for the year
is the lightest In the memory of most of
the growers. The $50 tons are the product
of 900 acres of orchard which last year
yielded 1,500 tons and in 1900 a crop of
$500 tons.

SOME COAL FACTS
Plenty Of Fuel In Billings
County.

A: G. Leonard, state geologist, with ].
". Bliss and w. J. Smith. is camping at
the Logging Camp ranch while making
surveys Of the coal lands in this part OF
the country, and through this party some
interesting facts have been ascertained
by our Deep Creek correspondent.
Coal has been found in large quanti-
ties in and about Sentinel Butte and
Bullion Butte.
Sentinel Butte is go feet higher than
the railroad station of the same name
and is $3.50 feet above the sea level.
being the highest point in the state. The
coal bed at Sentinel Butte is Fl feet deep
and is under the entire butte. On the
top of the butte is a white, shelly lime
stone, showing many fossil fish.
Bullion Butte has an elevation of OIL
feet above the Little Missouri river. Acoal
bed, IS feet thick. was found 500 feet
from the top of the butte. A lower bed
was traced along the bluffs of the Little
Missouri, from the ]. D. Harmon ranch
south to the mouth of Sand creek, some
fifteen miles. Just how much farther it
extends has not been determined. This
coal is from 50 to IS feet above the
river bed and has a thickness of from ?
to I6 feet, and DR.. Leonard informs us
that the coal bed at Eugene Russell's,
up Sand creek, has a depth of over 3a
feet. -
