as possible they are being made uni
form. The materials, machines and
equipments for all the roads can be
purchased together. and what one road
does not use can be turned over to
another.
The four main Hartman systems are
the Union Pacific, the Southern Pa
cific. the Oregon Short Line and the
Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany. Added to these are the Calves
ton, Harrisburg & San Antonio, and a
number of lesser lines in Texas and
Louisiana.
These lines extend all the way from
New Orleans to Spokane and Port
land; from Kansas City to San Fran
cisco. and from Omaha to Los An
geles. They probably haul more
diversified class of traffic than any
other systems of the country, reaching
from the lumber regions of the north
west TO those of the south, with great
grain, mining and livestock states in
tervening, besides the great diversity of
the Pacific slope.
The Southern Pacific alone includes
almost 5000 miles of railway; the
Union Pacific more than 5000; the
Oregon Railway 81 Navigation COM
pany about 1850 miles; the oregon
risburg & San Antonio 1,S35, and a
number of minor Texas lines more
than 1 1000 miles more.
These are all distinctively Hartman
lines. Added to them is the big sys-
tenn which Hartman is now building
down the west coast of Mexico to
Guadalajara. a portion of which is al
ready in operation, and making a total
of approximately $1,000 miles directly
under Harrimans control.
These are not the only roads in
which Z. II. Hartman is interested,
however. He is known to have large
interest in the Salt Lake Route.
Harriman's battle with Stuyvesant
Fish for the mastery of the Illinois
Central in which he was victor, is
fresh history, and only few weeks ago
the announcement was made that he
had also acquired control of the Gen.
trail of Georgia. reaching to the Atlantic
seaboard. The Illinois Central per-
meates the Mississippi valley from Chi
cago to New Orleans, with 4,371 miles
of road, and the Central of Georgia ex-
tends from Birmingham, Ala, to Sa-
vannah, with enough side lines to give
it a total of 1913 miles.
These latter are not yet known as
distinctly Hartman lines, however as
they have their own arrangements in
dependent of other Hartman roads.
Within the last week has come the
report that Hartman is acquiring
marked influence in the Gould lines. ex-
tending almost from ocean to ocean,
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf
How extensive this influence will be-
come is not definitely known. 1t may
amount only TO obtaining certain con-
cessions from Gould, or it may mean
the ultimate control of the Gould sys-
TENS by Hartman.
The Gould systems include the
Western Pacific, partially completed
from Salt Lake City TO San Francisco;
the Rio Grande system. from Salt Lake
City to Denver and Pueblo; the Mis-
souri, Pacific system, from Pueblo to
st. Louis; the Wabash, from ST. Louis
TO Pittsburg, and the Western Mary
land. from Pittsburg to the Atlantic,
making an ocean-to-ocean line. Be
sides these the Gould lines include the
Wheeling & Lake Erie, the st. Louis &
Iron Mountain, the Texas Pacific, the
International & Great Northern, and
some minor roads.

1t is within the power of Edward H.
Hartman, the railroad magnate who
passed through Utah last Wednesday
ON his way to his ranch in Oregon, to
travel from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific coast and then back again over
his own railroad lines, without twice
riding over a mile of the same track.
He could look out of his car window
and never gaze twice upon the same
stretch of scenery. This he could ac-
complish by going westward over the

DECISION AS TO
FREIGHT RATES
interstate Commerce Commits
sion Will Hand Down Its
Opinion Shortly.

Washington. Aug. 9.--During the next
month or six weeks it is probable that the
interstate commerce commission will de-
eide upon the question of the reasonable
ness of the proposed increase of freight
Florida and portions of South and North
Carolina, in the southern territory, and in
Texas in the southwestern territory.
The proposed increase in the several
southern states embraces practically all
increases proposed throughout the coun-
try at this time. The decision will have
an important bearing upon rates gener-
ally, as the questions to be determined
in respect to southern rates. are largely
the same as may be urged the basis
of increase elsewhere.
Reasons for Raise.
The railroads. it is expected, will urge
as reasons for raising their rates. that
they have been prevented from reducing
to that effect by Chairman Knapp of the
interstate commerce commission and
Commissioner NELL of the bureau of labor
sitting a board of arbitration. in ref
erence to the wages of employees of the
southern railroads They will point to a
reduction of their interstate passenger
revenue by the reduction of rates from
8 to . cents a mile in Virginia and from
10 cents u III II
states.
Culberson's Appeal.
President Roosevelt has been appealed
to by Senator Culberson of Texas. in an
effort to restrain these railroads from put
ting the new rates into effect in that
state. and Mr.. Roosevelt has referred the
matter to the attorney general. In the
meantime the Texas and Georgia railroad
commission will file separate complaints
with the interstate commerce commission
tomorrow.
Senator Culberson forwarded telegram
to President Roosevelt at oyster Bay,
Friday, stating that the hearing in the
Texas case before the commission would
probably not begin earlier than Septem-
her first next; and in the meantime the
increased rates would doubtless be put
into operation and great injustice result
to the shipping interests.
The following in reply has been re-
ceived by Senator Culberson from ActinS
Secretary>'F orester:
by direction of the president your tel
egram was sent TO the attorney general

THROUGH TRAINS TO EUROPE.
Russia and Japan Will Soon Arrange
the Details.

Mukden, Wednesday. Aug. Japan
has arranged for through connections over
her South Manchurian railway from the
China coast TO Europe. and Russia has
agreed to run through trains from Kuan
Chang Tsu to Irkutsk. thus doing away
with the change of cars heretofore i'm
posed on travellers at Hardin.
The details of these plans are to be
arranged in Hardin this summer. and by
autumn 1t is expected that there will be
complete cooperation between the Rus
sian and the Japanese railroads.
The Japanese will sell through tickets
TO Europe. The South Manchurian line
will charter steamships to run between
Tairen and Chinese ports connecting with
the tri-weekly expresses to and from Eu-
rope.
Adjustable Wheels.
1t is planned TO install passenger cars
NTH adjustable wheels that by means of
q lever may be shifted to the outer bear
ings of a special axle so as to make the
cars fit the Russian wide gauge tracks.
These cars starting from Tairen are to DE
attached TO the Russian expresses and
.rried through to Irkutsk, the end of the
asst Siberian system.
The DEVELOPMENT of the South Man
churian railway is making good progress
and within three years II Is estimated that
there will be no less than 400 American To-
comotives. 300 passenger cars and $500
freight ears connecting Pacific ports with
Europe over the South Manchurian sys-
tenn This equipment probably Will have

DEVELOPMENT of the coal industry in the
Fushun fields. The output is forty cars
a day but modern machinery will be in
stalled and II is estimated that at the
end of four or five years the output will
be Increased 10 900 cars daily.
Briaandage Suppressed.
There is an impression that extensive
brigandage prevails in Manchuria. and
that travel over these lines is dangtr-
out but this is not so. The brigandage
has been suppressed by the efficient
troops placed by the new railroad admin
istration in Manchuria and the lawless-
ness in the railroad zone is practically
limited TO Hardin. Three or four guards
accompany each train and the line is pro-
tected by a complete military organiza-
ton.

Tairen, Manchuria, Monday, July g.
Japan is responsible for the introduction
of the American railroad system into
eastern Asia. but she is rapidly TAX
ing to herself the trade i'm railroad
equipment and material which was
thrown in the beginning 10 American
manufacturers. The reasons for this
are. first. the poor quality of the ma
terial and the inferior workmanship
used In the American product; and sec
ond. the ability of the Japanese to du-
plicate the American rolling stock at
their prices. even delivering better ar
ticle.
American manufacturers will soon
lose this trade if they do not at once
awaken TO the necessity of eXerting
themselves to retain it.
CareIessness of Americans.
Another matter for dissatisfaction has
been the poor way i'm which the Ameri-
can cars. etc, have been packed, care
lessness that has resulted in heavy
losses to the eastern consigners.
The japanese looked over the field,
and after comparing the American rail-
road system with that Of Europe de-
cided that the former was the better
for the requirements of Manchurian
and Korean traffic. Consequently, a
Npihlittt railway system VI
1880 miles now connects the principal
ports and cities of Eanchuria and KO-
rea. On May % of this year 121 Ameri-
can locomotives, 1,403 American freight
cars and so American passenger coaches
were installed on the South Manchu-
rian trunk lines, and on this date the
system extended from Masampo and
FuSan, on the Sea of Japan. to Che
mulpo and Antung, on the Bay of Ko-
rea, thence to Tairen and Port Arthur,
on the Gulf of Pechili, and to New
chwang, on the Gulf OF Lao Tung.
China Stands No Show.
1t will be two or three years before
Mukden can be reached in twenty-four
hours from ShimOneski, but by April
of 1909 the South Manchurian railway
will be double tracked from Tairen TO
Mukden and Will be ready to claim as
its own the carrying trade of the Man
churian northwest, which China has
lately struggled to rescue for herself
through the HSimintun- Fakumen rail-
road caSe. At the rate she is now go
ing, Japan is outstripping Russia in
railroad construction. and she will have
one double track and one-possibly two
single track strategic lines into the
heart of Manchuria before Russia COM
pletes the double tracking of the Sibe-
rian line her only railway into this
part of the world.

Taking things for granted is a habit

often with so little effort made to as

cause for statement as the Oklahoma
state agency for liquors. AT the outset
there was prevalent opinion the
agency or more commonly called. dis
pensary, was unpopular and would be
voted down. The wise editors declar-
ed it would be voted down; the up-
ponents TO the system said so and
soon lt had become the habit Of stat
ing tho agency would be defeated.

concluded TO test the guessing quali-
