sharing largely in this result. The
foreign trade of the republic already
exceeds $240. 900 per annum and of
this two-thirds, both of exports and
imports, are exchanged with the United
States.
With the Hartman line running
through the richest district American
interests will be greatly benefited. 1t
is expected that the rich rice fields and
alfalfa lands will be developed and the
products brought into the United States
over this line.
There is probably no other thousand
mile stretch in the entire world more
advantageous for a railroad line, and it
was the wizard of railroads who dis
covered this and who will not only
have a lucrative return of his invest
ment eventually, but in the meantime
receives enough to cover practically all
his initial expense.
In addition to the $40. 900, 900 already
granted Hartman, it is understood that
an additional subsidy will be granted
covering the short though expensive
run between Topic and Orendain,
where connection will be made with the
Mexican Central near Guadalajara. 1t
is generally understood this is only the
beginning of a railway system propos-
ed by the Hartman forces, and that
it eventually will continue down the
coast and form a part of the great pam
American railway. which is to eventu-
ally connect the two continents of
North and South America.

TWENTY MILES REMAIN

| Wlchlta, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE first
bunch of freight goodies to be handed
| to the Wichita jobbers through the
| efforts of the new transportation bu-
reau will be received this month In
fact there are two punches of the good
| things, one for the jobbers and the
| other for the packing houses.
Of more vital importance to Wichita
is the announcement made by Com
missioner Moore of the transportation
bureau this morning, that the Orient
would establish a Wichita" rate into
Texas on the opening of the K. C. NJ.
& o. railway to Chillicothe. The ORR
ent track lacks but miles of reach
ing Chillicothe and it is expected that
this stretch of the road will be COM
pleted by September 20.
At the present time Wichita jobbers
ship to Texas points only on the Mis-
souri, river basis. When the new ORR
ent rate goes into effect points on that
road will be reached at a reduction of
from IS to Al cents per hundred from
the present ruling. The present rates
to Chillicothe and the new ones are
as follows:
New: First class sic; second class
CSC; third class. SIC; fourth class SIC.
The present rates are: First class,
$1.27; second class, $1.15; third class,
$1.O4; fourth class CSC.

have the connecting link between the
Wichita and Sweetwater portions of
the track. There are about twenty
miles yet to build and when this is
completed new rates to all points
south of Chillicothe will be establish
ed. These rates, Commissioner Moore
assured, will be much more favorable
to Wichita than are the present rates
to that section.
Three towns to be opened by the
Orient this month will be affected by
the immediate reduction of rates.
These towns are Kimberlin. Odell. and
ChillicOthe. intermediate points will
also be affected by the new rates.
Another reduction of rates which
will be of vast Importance to the pack
ing house interests of this city was an
nounced by Commissioner Moore this
morning. This reduction is on pack
ing house products in less than car
lots from Wichita to FIT. Worth, Dali
las, Clebourne and other northern
Texas points. The new rate will be
50 cents per hundred pounds where SO
cents is now charged. The reduction
goes into effect September 26 on all
railroads.
This new rate will establish a prac-
tically new territory for the interests
involved and the benefits accruing
| through the increased business will be
gratifying indeed to this market. The
chief benefit of the new ruling will fall
to the peddler car business of the Cud-
ahv company. An additional trade of
ten to twelve cars per week will be
| the result.
Now these peddler cars can operate
| in Oklahoma but not into Texas be-
cause of the prohibitive rate. This con-
dition restricts the business materially
| but the 20 cent reduction will mean
much to this branch of the packing
| industry of Wichita.

NOT IN DIRECTORATE
Hartman to Remain Out of Denver 6
Rio Grande Board,

Denver, Sept 1.-THE stockholders of
all the subsidiary companies of the
Denver &c Rio Grande Railway com
pany will meet at the headquarters of
the parent corporation in the Equitable
building today, when final official action
will be taken on the proposition to con-
solidate all into one company under the
original name. There will be no con-
tests and the plan for refunding the
system will undoubtedly be agreed to.
This provides for the issuing of bonds
for $3.50 000,0 900. All the indebtedness
of the several companies will be re-
tired and sc, 600, 900 will be set aside for
the extension and improvement of the
Rio Grande system.
Answering a question concerning the
runor that E. H. Hartman would join
the directorate of the merged Rio
Grande system, J. F. Vale, chief coun-
sci for the road, who has just return
ed from New York, said:
Mr.. Hartman will not be voted a
director of the Rio Grande system, for
the very good reason that he is not
interested in any way in the roads af-
fairs. He does not, as far as I know,
own one single dollars worth of Rio
Grande stock The only foundation for
persistent reports of alliances between
Gould and Hartman grew out of the
fact that the eastern Gould lines had
to do some financing through the firm
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who are also
bankers for Mr.. Hartman"
