kooNTz BLAMEs COAL DEALERS.
Santa F'e Man Says Freight Rates Are
All Right.

Las Vegas, N NJ. Oct 2s.-J. R.
Koontz- general freight agent of the
Santa Fe, has written a letter to the
Las Vegas Optic in which he says that
the coal dealers and operators and not
the railroad company are to blame for
the high prices paid for coal in Las
Vegas, Santa Fe, Albuquerque and
elsewhere. Mr.. Koontz says the freight
rates are approximately lin line but
does not explain why Santa Fe, which
is Sc miles further from Ration than
Las Vegas, pays $3.50 a ton from the
Gate City, the same as Las Vegas pays.
FL Paso, 386 miles further from Ration
than Las Vegas. pays only a dollar
more a ton freight on coal Mr..
Koourz's letter says in part:
In the first place. it is unnecessary,
possibly, for me to say SO, but never
theless it is true, that the conditions
which at present confront you are more
the outgrowth of an advance in the
price of coal as made by the operators
and jobbers than it is in the freight
rate.
7 do not believe, upon comparison,
that you will find that our rate on
coal is, from the service performed,
very much. if any, out of line with the
rates which are in force in other sec
tious of the country.
For example" continues Mr.. Koontz,
the distance from Trinidad to La
Junta is 81 miles; the rate is $1-f5 per
ton: distance from Trinidad to Las
Anfmas. 100 miles, and the rate is sos
a ton In the case Of shipments from
the Trinidad district to eastern Color
ado and Kansas points the rate is rela-
lively as high as the rate from the Ra-
ton district to Las Vegas and it can
be safely said that in the case of ship
ments to the east there is to all in
tents and purposes, practically down
grade haul whereas, as in the case OF
Ration to Las Vegas, as you we'll know,
while it is down grade to Springer. it
is UP grade from Springer to Las We
gas. practically mountainous service,
and all things being considered. must
frankly say to you that do not be-
Ifeve that our rate on coal from Ration
To Las Vegas is out of line with the
rates as in force in other directions for
similar service

/ New York. Oct 2S.-The formation of
plan looking to the retirement of E
H Hartman from the control of the
investments of the Union Pacific road
has been announced Mr.. Hartman.
/ after the meeting of the directors next
Saturday, it is said, will devote himself
exclusively to the Union Pacific, while
the holdings of that company in other
corporations, amounting to $500. 600.
wilt be handled by a holding company
| The directors, having the greatest
confidence in the man VINO has done so
much with the Union Pacific. wish him
| to confine his attention to the system
and refrain from activity in other roads
in which the Union Pacific holds legal
blocks of stock
Harriman's prestige in the railroad
world has been due largely to the Union
Pacific holdings, and the interVenttons
of a holding company to administer this
trust will take from him the great in
f7uence he had welded in corporations
other than the Union Pacific
Afte- the holding company is formed

without delay It is thought they con-
template only the formation of COM
Tnittee to administer the outside in
terests. The income on Union Pacific
Investments averages per cent, OF
S15 COG, GOO a year.
Whether there is any intention Of
divorcing this asset from the Union Pa
cific and throwing into the treasury of
the compsny $500 000, eco by the sale OF
the securities is not announced Mr.
Herriman's position in the matter is set
forth IN the following authorized state
ment:
In this movement E H Hartman
has the approval and support of his di-
rectors-
However it is understood that E H
Hartman and his associates believe
that public opinion has never looked
with approval upon that phase of the
development of the Union Pacific which
finds that property on the one hand
vast transportation enterprise and on
the other an equally vast financial in
stiuution. Yet It is indfsputab1e that
this development was the logical and
inevitable result of the measures taken
seven years ago to preserve the integrt-
ty and independence of the Union Pa
cific as an avenue of transcontinental
traffic.
One step followed another in rapid
sequence until the year 1907 finds the
shares of the Union Pacific stockhold-
ers representing on the one hand a
great transportation enterprise and on
rhe other a financial institution holding
hundreds of millions of collateral as
sets and, while representing two dis
tinct enterprises and therefore legiti-
mately paying 10 per cent dividends, is
yet nasquerading under one name, to
the confusion of the public mind
