years is the sale of 1900 acres of the
richest oil lands in the Midway field
to the Santa Fe. The sale involves
100000, which is reported to have
been paid Jameson, Warmplemeyer
and Strasburger, largely in cash. The
oil land is some of the finest on the
west side and rs producing wells are
now down. The Santa Fee has held a
lease on the land for several years,
buying over the right of the big Chan
celor- Garfield company of Los Angeles.
Recently there was some friction over
the lease and it was settled by the rail-
road buying the land outright. The
lease cost $1,S00,000.
By acquiring this territory as its
own property the Santa Fe becomes
one of the richest oil land owners in
the state. Further development of the
land will begin at once and it is ex-
pected that in a short time the Santa
Fe will begin the continuation of the
Sunset road to the Midway fields.

FROM THE GULF TO ROCKIES.
President YOalxum VIII Soon Have
Through Train Service.

The Fort Worth Record has the fol-
lowing to say of the proposed plans
of B. r. Yoakum and associates in
giving through passenger service from
Galveston to Denver. According to
these plans it seems that the L. q b.
VS. main line will be what is now
known as the Dallas branch, and Gle
burne will be on the branch line. This
is another nice package the 7. & B.
v. has handed the people of Cleburne.
What has long been dream OF COL
B. F. Yoakun, namely, through pas
senger service from Galveston, the
commanding port Of the Gulf of Mexico,
to Denver, the mecca of western tour
lists, will, it Is believed, be developed
into an actually within 60 days at the
very outside by two subtle Yoakum
generals, w. E. Green and D. B. Kee-
Ter.
This train service, as indicated by
the events of the past ten days, Will
originate in Galveston From Calves
ton the train will traverse the Trinity
& Brazos Valley to Dallas, and at the
latter point will pass over into the
territory of another Yoakum property,
the Rock Island. The tracks of the
latter will be toured as far as Fort
Worth Here the Fort Worth & Den
yer will receive the train and carry II
through the Panhandle and denver II
TO the Colorado & Southern line at
Texline Thence the trip to Denver
will be unbroken.
1t is obvious that the passenger de-
partments of the Trinity & Brazos
Valley, Rock Island, Fort Worth q
Denver and Colorado & Southern de-
sire to include Dallas and Waxahach1e
on the route on account of the great
amount of tourist traffic that comes
out of these cities.
Indications now are that this service
will he inaugurated within so days or
lust as soon as proper schedules can
he made out and advertised.

ALDRICH BILL PASSES.
After the Adoption of a Number of
Important Amendments.

Washington, March 2S.-The Aid
rich currency bill was passed by the
senate by a vote of AZ to 16, in the
main a party vote. Previous to the
taking of the vote on the A1drich bill
vote was taken on the Bailey sub
instead of the national banks, to is
sue the emergency circulation for
which the bill provides. The vote on
the substitute stood AZ to 10, and this
vote was entirely partisan, even Sena-
tor La Toilette casting his vote with
the Republicans. The bill has been
before the senate since January 2.
The vote was not reached until after
6 p. m, and the galleries were prac-
tically empty. An interesting feature
of the passage of the bill was a
reiteration by Mr.. Aldrich of his
vestigation of the entire banking sys-
tenn of the country with a view to
instituting reforms.
As passed the bill provides for not
more than $500,O00,0O0 of emergency
currency to be issued to national
state. county and municipal bonds, to
be approved by the secretary of the
treasury. The currency is to be is
sued with view to securing an
equitable distribution of the currency
over the United States, and in &C
cOfOanc6 WIN the unlIl paired Cdp1Cdl
and surplus of banks in each state.
Banks are to pay for this emergency
circulation one-half of 1 per cent a
month during the first four months it
is circulated, and afterwards three
quarters of 1 per cent a month.
The bill provides that national
banks shall pay not less than 1 per
cent on government funds deposited
with them.
The bill carries an important
change in banking laws relating to
bank reserves. This amendment
provides that of the 5 per cent re-
serve required to be kept by banks
not in reserve cities four fifths of this
is to be kept in the vaults of the
banks and of that amount one-third
can be in the form of securities of
the kind required.
At the instance of Mr.. La Toilette
an amendment was adopted prohibit
ing any national bank from investing
its funds in stocks or by other securi-
ties of a corporation the officers or
directors of which are officers or di-
rectors of the bank, and providing a
penalty of imprisonment of from one
to five years. In accepting this
amendment Mr.. Aldrich stated that
he had not ime to consider the
he had no time, but was in
sympathy with its general purpose.
