HIGHER FARE IN PULLMANs.
Traffic Managers Favor Plan to Charge
for Exclusive Service.


ST. Louis. Aug. 15.-Fred A. Wann,
traffic manager of the Salt Lake route,
saws that there is no likelihood of an
immediate adoption of the proposed
plan to make sleeping car passengers
paw a higher rate of fare than those
who ride in day coaches, although he
is in favor of it. Concerning the
proposition, Mr.. Wann says: 1T costs
more to handle passengers in sleepers-
We can seat seventy persons comfort
ABLY in a coach, while between thirty
and forty will crowd Pullman. which
weighs 40 per cent more and costs
twice as much as a COACH.
AS to the cost of Pullman car, that
is something the railroads do not pay
hut thew do pay a consideration to the
Pullman company for the operation OF
the cars, the precise character OF
which no one outside the corporations
has definite and reliable knowledge.
The point is likely to be raised by
travellers that, because they ride in a
coach, they are not to be rated as sec
cond class passengers, for they pay a
first class fare the same as the pas
senger in the Pullman, the latter pay
ing to the Pullman company its price
for occupying a berth or an upholster-
ed revolving chair. The Pullman cor
poration for years has regarded ltselI
as a law unto itself. but the interstate
commission has lately contested It's
nosition and its rates and the courts
are to eventually decide Whetner II Is
right or wrong.

SANTA FE GIVES NO PENNIES.
Too Much Work for Operators Oh
Coast Lines.

San Bernardino, Cal, Aug. 15.--No-
tice has been received at the local Of
fees of the Santa Fe and Southern
Pacific railroads of several changes in
the railroad rate tariff to be In effect
on and after September L. All of the
most important changes will greatly
affect local people, and at least one
of them will prove to be great help
to the agents of the roads.
On September I a law goes into ef-
feet in the rate charges that Will en-
tirely do away with the use of pennies
in the railroad stations. The local rate
as is well known is 3 cents per mile,
and it has made a great amount of ex-
ira work for the station agents in
keeping accounts. Heretofore, when
ever the rate was between an even
amount of cents, such as cents or 3
cents the agents were forced to give
the pennies in change. This did not
make so much work in making change.
but the rub came in when the weekly
and monthly reports were made. The
odd cents always made an extra
amount of labor for the station agent.
From now on the rate VIII be so
that if will amount to an even number
of cents. no matter what it is. When
ever il amounts to s cents or cents,
it will be made 10 cents. In case 1t
comes to or cents it will then be
made 5 cents. The station agents are
iubiIant about the new regulation, for
il means much less work for them in
keeping accounts and making reports.
IT means but a few cents difference
either to the purchaser or the railroad.

TO EXTEND COLORADO EASTERN
Would Connect With Central Branch
at Lenora, Kansas.

Kansas City, Mo-. Aug. 15.-New
railway lines or extensions are project
ed in Oklahoma and western Kansas
at the present time, all of which ex-
tend Kansas City's territory. Several
of the lines are actually being built.
The very latest new line talk comes
from Denver, where it is said that the
Denver & Rio Grande is behind a
move to extend the Colorado Eastern
from that city to connection with the
Missouri Pacific's Central Branch sys-
tenn at Lenora, Kansas. The Central
Branch runs west from Atchlson 20
Lenora. a distance of 800 miles. This
can be made the shortest line between
the Missouri river and Denver by forty
miles, and the extensionrtalk has been
going on for years. Now that the
Goulds have completed the western
Pacific If is believed that they will turn
their attention to the Central Branch.

BIG SANTA FE OIL OUTPUT.
One Western District Gives Flow of
1O9,175 Barrels Monthly.

San Bernardino. Cal, Aug. 15.-
With the striking of the big gusher by
the Santa Fe in their Midway oil fields,
the last monthly report shows that the
output in that district is one of the
largest in the history of the field. The
monthly report from the various fields
was received yesterday by Manager F.
T. Perris of the Santa Fe oil depart
ment.
The Midway field shows last month
a flow of 109,175 barrels of oil. The
flow for the month of June was $4,000
barrels, the gain this month being
more than 10000 barrels, or 1 900 bar
rels day. The gain in output is great
1y pleasing to the Santa Fe officials
and this month if the gusher con-
tinues flowing an even larger output is
anticipated.
An increase of 1000 barrels was

Differs From Freight Situation
Officials are pointing out that the dill
ference between the freight rate situa-
ton and the express proposition is that
The freight rates were increases. where
as the express charges are those which
have been in force for some time. NO
material changes have been made in
express rates for several years and only
a small proportion of the formal COM
plaints coming to the commission have
been directed against express charges
The express companies come under
the same category as common carriers.
They are forced 70 file their rates and
charges with the commission just as
the railroads are forced to file their
passenger and freight tariffs. Only this
year, however, have the revenues and
expenses of the express companies been
collected and tabulated by accountants
of the commission.

NAVY DEPARTMENT PUTS AD-
MIRAL In COMMAND AND DIVI-
SION RAISED FROM SQUADRON
TO INDEPENDENT BRANCH.

Washington, Jan. with an eye
to possible emergencies in the far
east the Pacific fleet of the United
States will be split into two divi-
sions The fleets hereafter will be
known as the Asiatic fleet and the
Pacific fleet. The decision to thus
'reorganize the naval forces on the
navy department today.
In January, 1907, the old Asiatic
fleet was merged into the Pacific
fleet and made the third squadron
thereof The action of the depart
ment today restores the old order of
assignments. The object of the
merging of the two fleets was to
concentrate in one command, under
one admiral on each coast, all the
ships in the Atlantic and in the Pa
cific oceans. Great difficulty in the
management of the fleet has been
experienced as the ports to be visit
ed are so far apart
Hubbard i'm Chief Command.
The commander in chief of the
new Asiatic fleet will be Rear Ad-
miral John Hubbard, who will re-
lieve Rear Admiral G. B. HARDER in
few days at Yokohama. Rear Ad-
miral Harder will relieve, some time
in February, Rear Admiral U. Sebree
as commander in chief of the Pacific
fleet.
The new Pacific fleet will consist
of the Tennessee, Washington, Cali
fornia, South Dakota, West Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Colo
RADIO. The Milwaukee and the ST.
Louis, now at the Bremerton navy
yard, Washington, will join the new
Pacific fleet as soon as their repairs
are completed.
Ships i'm New Fleet.
The new Asiatic fleet will consist
of the Charleston Galveston, Cleve-
land, Denver, Chattanooga, Helena
Wilmington, Callao, Samar, Villal-
obas, Arayat, Paragua, Mindora and
Monterey. Other ships will be add
ed, making the feet equal to that OF
any foreign power in the far east.

coast will not be attached to either
feet except when specially ordered
The smaller vessels on duty in
Central American waters will not be
