HAPPY ON THE UNION PACIFIC.
President Lovett Is Optimistic Over
ssse Business Outlook.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-An' optimistic
note. so far as a progressive future in
railroad circles is concerned, was
sounded by Herbert S. Lovett head of
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
ciflc railroads, on his arrival in Chi
cago from New York. He made it
plain that both he and his colleagues
in the east see many signs for encour-
financial horizon.
President Lovett is on his way to
the Pacific coast on an annual tour of
inspection and will leave Chicago to-
day for New Orleans whence he will
go westward over the Southern Pa
cif1c system.
1.-THE business outlook is good so far
as our lines are concerned he said.
1.-The decision on an increase in freight
rates, which ever way it goes, will not
affect our plans. It will be remem-
,bered that a considerable number of
our rates were reduced about a year
ago by the interstate commerce COM
mission.
at is my purpose in making this
trip over the lines, to ascertain the
physical condition of the properties
and learn where improvements ought
to be made. Undoubtedly many will
be ordered in addition to several that
now are under way"
! He announced that his tour would
consume about six weeks and that he
would spend a considerable portion
of the time in California. He does
not expect to make a trip to Oregon.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE adoption of
minor constitutional amendments and

definite things done at meeting Of

JENNINGS ON WAY HOME.
Says Cleveland and Chicago VIII Race
Him.

Denver, Feb 15.-"E-Yah Hughey,"
otherwise Mr.. Hugh Jennings, leader
of the Detroit Tigers, maker of cham
pionship mines and one of the most
picturesque figures in present-day
baseball, passed through Denver Oh
the windup of his honeymoon trip with
his bride, formerly Miss Blanche
OBoyle of Scanton, Pa.
Seen off the diamond, Jennings could
scarcely be imagined in the role of the
grass-picking Tige which he assumes
when he dons his baseball suit. Just
at present he is taking a minor part,
for the first time in a long while, as lie
confessed with a humorous glance at
his bride standing not far away, and
thus far he has found it entirely
pleasant.
Jennings is not inclined to let fancy
run free in his discussion of the COM
ing American league race. OF course,
he feels that he has a good, strong
team, but as he said last night, he is
not picking winners yet and won't I'M
til the close of the season.
He was quite willing to confess, how
ever, that next season will be the most
prosperous in history, and that it is
apt to develop one of the closet races

not heard before this season

no tied or postponed games are to be
played off in the first series of the
season. The magnates went on record
as opposed to doubleheaders, particu-
larly in the early part of the season.
While there is to be no change in
the playing rules because the American
league failed to appoint its end of a
joint committee, the National league
today recommended two changes which
will be submitted to the joint confer
renee for next season. They are that

Chicago Gets Lions Share-No Deals
Made at Meeting.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-Playing dates for
the 1911 season of the Americal League,

drafted by President Johnson several
weeks ago, were adopted without a

list with II, while st. Louis was award
ed Is and Detroit Is. The majority Of
holiday games will be played in the

Representatives from every city in the
league attended and not a trade was
made, although officials of the Wash
ington and st. Louis clubs offered sew
eral deals.

RAILWAY NOTES.

Many hundred railroad employees
of Topeka are taking advantage of the
Red Cross first aid to the injured lee
lures here and have attended in
bodies. The car is in front of the
Rock Island depot and is on a tour of
the Rock Island lines. 1t was given
to the Red Cross society by the Pull
man company.
The railroads of indiana are Wig
orously opposing a bill which has been
introduced in the Legislature providing
that all railroads must stop passenger
trains at all county seats which have
more than 1,200 population. Il a rail-
road runs four trains day each way
through these county seats, all trains
above that number would not be re-
quired by the provisions of the bill to
stop.
George Hetherington, chief clerk to
General Manager Sweet of the ROCK
Island, takes exception to the article
in the State Journal Monday evening
which stated that the new carpets in
the Rock Island brass collar offices
were three inches thick. Mr.. Hether-
ington says they are only one inch
think. Correction duly noted.
Vice President Dickinson and Cen
eral Counsel Judge Trinble are re-
ported to be in Europe negotiating the
sale of between $4,000. 600 and $1O,-
100000 first mortgage ffty-year gold
per cent bonds of the Orient line,
the bulk of which, it is thought, will
be placed in France. Some $5,000,0 900
of the issue were placed in London
last summer by President Stilwell.
''How does this look to you,'' said
General Manager Kouns of the Santa
Fe as he picked up a train time sheet
and every train had an "OT mark
behind it. Trains are all running good
this kind of weather. The tracks are
hard and the motive power is in good
shape.
Frank FARRELL, publicity agent of the
Santa Fe, has scrap book-and it is
crammed full of clippings from Kan
con given by the Santa Fe last week.
It shows that every editor in the state
and there were $50 of them-who
attended the editorial meeting had
something good to say about the big
banquet given by the road in the To-
peka general office skyscraper.
This has been an easy winter on the
railroad telegraph wires. L. M. Jones,
superintendent of telegraph of the
Santa Fe, and E. L. Whitney, super
of telegraph of the Rock
ing made up to date-and not much
more bad weather is expected.
Construction work will be begun on
the Buckhannon e. Northern, giving
the Pennsylvania and the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie a new feeder to the coal
fields of West Virginia. The construc-
ton will mean an expenditure of
100000, and the entire cost of the
line, completed, will be $1,300,000.
There is considerable talk in rail-
road circles concerning plans by the
Santa Fe for an uptown ticket Office.
1t would be appreciated by patrons of
the road.

COMBINE ELEVATED RAILWAYS.
Progress Has Been Made in. This Big
Project.

Chicago, Feb. s15.-Henry A. Blair,
financial head of the Chicago Railways
company, has returned from New
York, where he has been for the last
two weeks endeavoring to bring about
a merger of all the elevated railroads
in Chicago.
I'VE have made some progress he
said, land that is about all 1 can say
at this time. I expect to return to
New York about the end of this week
to continue the negotiations.
1T is a big pr -, and l do not ex-
pect that it can be brought about in
a week or month, probably not in a
year.
EVERY one concerned is agreed that
a merger of all the transportation
lines is desirable, but when some one
attempts to bring it about, there are
always some Knockers who get busy.
I do not feel discouraged, however,
and 1 still believe that the plans work
ed out last July will go through

I'm UNION THERE IS STRENGTH >
Says Independence Paper Speaking of
Success of Santa F'e Banquet.

Success of Santa Fe Banquet.
Independence Daily Reporter: ''The
| luncheon given by the Santa Fe Rail
way company to the editors of Kansas
at Topeka on Tuesday was quite the
most elaborate spread ever. prepared
for the JayhaWker n1olders of public
thought. In every way the affair was
Unusual and an unqualified success.
From the elaborate menu of delicate
viands to the magnificent decorations
of California pepper branches and
palms this expression of good will to
and appreciation of the publishers of
Kansas newspapers was marked with
every evidence to leave no doubt of the
purpose. The Santa Fe wishes to have
it known that it is part and parcel of
I-dnsas and that it is friendly dis
posed toward the people and not, as
many look upon railroads, VICIOUS
enemy of the public 1t is safe to say
that on this occasion was gathered a
more diversified Kansas audience than
was ever before assembled about a
banquet table in friendly association.
Here was every sentiment and emotion
peculiar to Kansas. Here were men
of as varying political opinion as the
state affords. Here were the accuSerS
and defenders of railroads as corpora
tions, blended in one happy, friendly
concourse. The apparently impossible
has been accomplished, and, as 1t
usually happens, the editors found that
bad fellows after all, and the officials
of the railroad discovered that the
publishers of Kansas are pretty fine
lot of fellows. Therefore, the ban
Duet was a wonderful success. Every
time men of different thought learn to
know each other for their real worth
good is accomplished. The poet has
well said that we would all like each
other better if we only understood.
The world is not so bad when you
come to know men. What seems a
glittering wrong often is only in i'm
agination The world is getting better,
and the man who says it is not is
scarcely fit for leader of menS He
is a pessimIst and out of touch with
the great throbbing, pulsating mass of
the people. Railroads, corporations,
individuals do wrong: everybody
makes mistakes, but the great onward
movement of the world is toward bet
ter conditions. There is no mistake
about it, and in that the men who at
tended the Santa Fe banquet know
each other better now. The affair was
business consideration. Economically
it will mean much, We hope, to Kan
sas. In union there is strength. When
all the forces of Kansas, and she is a
state of remarkable personality, I'M
derstand each other and pull together
for the general upbuilding of the state,
then will Kansas make still greater
strides than she has made in the past.
We congratulate the Santa Fe upon
its course of getting down on the
curbstone and mixing I'D with the peo-
pie and taking them into its conf
dence. The people like it,

many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions.

San Jose, Mexico, via Maria, Tex, Jan. 28.-Details of the fighting by federal troops under Colonel Dorante received here show that he lost 115 men when his soldiers were led into an insurrecto ambuscade near Ojin- aga The revolutionary loss was two.
 A report was received in Mexico City of another outbreak against the government in the state of Oaxaca Two thousand rebels attacked the town of Tuxtepec, imprisoned all the authorities in the city hall, and then. without molesting any of the inhab- itants, departed for the Valle Ma, donal, a rich tobacco district. where 1t is expected they will attempt to enlist the contract laborers. Troops were immediately dispatched to the scene of the trouble.
