Nfore Santa Fe Improvement.

Emporia, Kan. Feb. 22.-The San
ia Fe is coming to improve the shops
here. The latest improvement is the
machinery being installed with which
the trucks of an engine may be TAX
en- from it in half the time it has TAX
en- in the past. A large pit is con-
strl1cted. over which an engine may be
run. The pit is large enough that sew
eral men have room to work at one
time under one engine. Large jacks
worked by compressed air are put un-
der the body of the engine and when
the air is turned on the whole engine
is lifted off it's trucks, the trucks are
run from under it and the BODY of the
engine propped up on blocks The
trucks of an engine may be taken off
in hours by the new machinery, where
it took days before. The santa re
win lay all new rails on the two main
line tracks, between the junction and
the west tower house. The old rails
are the 72-pound and are too light.
and s0-pound rails will be put down
instead. Not only is the Santa Fe
changing the rails through the En-
poria yards, but it will reset the tracks
on the two main lines. The rails with
which to make the change are on the
ground between the west tower house
and West street.

Of South American Trade.

Gossip and Matters of Interest

Presidents of the railroads in the
southwest seem to be unanimous in
the opinion that there is a period of
prolonged prosperity in store for that
section of country They believe the
ports on the Gulf of Mexico are to be
the outlets for a vast flow of COM
merce between the United States and
Central and South American coun-

countries to the south are going to
provide the best foreign market of
any Of the new lands with which the
United States now has commercial re-

In discussing this phase of the ques-
ton B. F. Yoakum. chairman of the
executive committee of the Rock
Island-Frisco lines, said:
LAS shown by the earnings of the
various companies of the Rock Island
Frisco system they are doing more
business than they can handle prop
erly. While the car shortage still ex-
lists, there is a decided improvement in
the situation, due to the action of the
shippers in more promptly unloading
cars at destination, coupled with the
fact that all the companies, as fast as
the work can be carried on, are en-
car shortage, strictly speaking, is not
as serious as generally is believed. 1t
has been due largely to the inability
CT the shipper to handle freight
promptly at destinat ton and the lack
of terminal facilities promptly to aid
the movement of cars.
Another gratifying feature is the
evident change in public sentiment.
After a long siege of agitation, follow
ed by plenty of time for observation
and reflection, the people are begin
ming to see the other side of the prob
lem, and more fully realize that vast
sums of money must be provided for
the railroad companies to take care of
the growing business Of the southwest.
Expenditures necessary to furnish
facilities on the different railroads in
that section will continue. l mean
that while new work may not be un-I
dertaken and improvements may be
deferred. there is so much which
needs immediate attention that the
roads will be compelled to do all they
can with the men and material avail

Use of ThuInbscrew and Rack Won't
~ Get Money From Investors.
The general condition of public hys-.
terra on everything relating to rail-
ways, born at Washington and kept
alive by daily utterances scattered
broadcast from that center of agita-
ton, is having its effect upon inves-
tors, says the Railway and Engineer
ing Review editorially. The admins
tration and the legislature together
can not compel men to invest their
money when only a very low rate OF
earning is possible and even that Is
seriously endangered. The, country
may think that 1t needs another hun
dred thousand miles of railways, and
a doubling Of the present equipment;
but it will never get them by the use
of the thumbscrew and the rack You
may draw it out by making induce
ty, but no big stick will force 1t. and 1t
is easily scared.
1t is undoubtedly true that some
good has come out of the increased
ought to have been accomplished
without the clamor and denunciation
which has accompanied 1t. A cham
Der of horrors" has broken loose and
spread all over the country; and even
the administration at washington Is
now unable to stop the devastation.
Investors are perfectly justified IN
view of this situation in buttoning up
their pockets. Railroads are justified
in resisting a demand for expansion,
and awaiting more proDitious times.
Nothing else will bring the agitators
to their senses Business interests
must cease to be dominated by po-
litical demands; and must assert them
the relief of prompt transportation
If they do not, the politicians and
Missionaries will soon make prosperity
a dream of the past.

1t is now a question whether this will

More than So, 100000 has been paid
to claim owners in the Ely district by
the mining companies in this field dur
ing the past year This total is taken
from figures furnished by men who are
in a position to know what has been
actually disbursed.
During the year, the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper Company paid out a
considerable sum for ground recently
acquired, but most of its ground was
obtained and paid for long before the
beginning of the year, it being the
company that made the district.
When the Nevada Con. entered the
field, much of the ground that is now
commanding tremendously high prices
was open for location. The company,
after consolidating the holdings of the
New York and Boston, and the White
Pine companies, was able to locate
much open copper ground surround
ing it's properties, which subsequent
development has shown to be equally
valuable as the claims actually paid
for. The total disbursements OF the

MANY DEER IN
RHODE ISLAND
Animals So Numerous They
Prove a Menace to
Growing Crops

Deer have become so numerous IN
Rhode Island under protective laws as
to be menace to crops, and the State
Board of Agriculture in its annual re-
port recommends an amendment of the
laws so that person may kill them
when they are found in the act of de-
stroying property. The report says:
'The law protecting deer has been
in force for such length of time that
the deer have become very numerous,
so numerous in fact as to be dangerous
to the farmers crops and nursery stock.
A great deal of damage is done yearly
by deer. One weli-known farmer in
Washington County estimates damage
to crops and trees in his locality at
over thousand dollars. The farmers
does not feel like killing deer when
found in the act of destroying his prop
erty. If anything is to be done, either
by way of extension of time in which
no deer shall be killed, or in amendment
of the law, it should be done at the
1907 session of the General Assembly,
as the law expires January, 1908 =
