MAIN LINE OUT OF BRANCH
Santa Fe Equips ElDorado Line for
Fast Traffic.

EIDorado, Kan, Jan. 10.-W1th the
view of making the Florence and Au-
gusta cutoff the main line for fast
trains from Kansas City and eastern
points to Oklahoma and Texas and
placing ElDorado on the route of at
least four more passenger trains each
day, the Santa Fe is putting In block
signal wire from Florence to Augusta.
The wire is already laid to within g.
few miles of ElDorado.
The block signal towers have been
in position on this line for several
months. The laying of the wire will
make this track the best fitted of any
to carry fast through trains. At pres
ent the fast freights pass through FL
Dorado; but the block system has new
er been found necessary for the rout-
ing of freight trains. The permissive
card system handles these trains ex-
pediently and safely.
Additional passing tracks are also
being provided on the Florence-Au-
gusta line. One $500 foot track has
been built between ElDorado and
White. A second is in process of con-
struction south of Florence.
Local railroad men see only one pos
sible reason for the improvement being
made. That is the routing of fast pas
senger trains this way. 1t will take
about four months to complete the
block system and attendant changes
and prepare a new time card.

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Disorder Which Yields to the
Tonic Treatment as This
California Case
Shows.

There is form of indigestion in
which the stomach may be in per-
fectly sound condition. This is called
nervous dyspepsia and arises from a
disturbance of the nervous system
which controls the digestive process.
That the nerves do control this pro-
cess is evident from the fact that acute
emotions such as grief or despair
Immediately stop digestion, and that
an injury to the brain or a nerve
center causes nausea and other distur-
Dances of the stomach. The digestive
fluids such as saliva and gastric juice
abundantly supplied with nerve fbres,
and the mere expectation of food will
start the flow of these fluids.
An instance in which this form of
nervous trouble was readily cured by
the tonic treatment was that of Mrs.
E. J. Burdick, of Campbell, Cal. She

"CROP KILLERS" NOW DUE.
SaIinan Says 1t Is Impossible to Est1-

Salina, Kan, Jan. 10.-According 10
George F. Warren of the Lee-Warren
Milling company, the opinion Of the
Oldest miller in Kansas in regard 70
the present outlook for a wheat crop
this year would not amount to much at
this time of the year. He says it is
impossible to make any estimate as TO
the prospects for a wheat crop. He
says Kansas usually gets wheat crop
and that's about all there is to it.
In about so days the crop experts
from Canada and resentatives OF the
big milling interests of the country

ting a line on the conditions. Usually
these men are shrewd and know what
they are talking about when they talk.

Big Grain Traffic on Western
Roads in Last Year.

age for 5 Years.
INCREASE SO PER CENT
Total of 257,3O4,OOO Bushels
for the Year Recorded.

est in Traffic World.
INCREASE So PER CENT

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-Good crops gave
western railroads better years traf-
fic in 1910 than for any time since
1907. They handled 10000 bushels
years, and in all received 257,3O4,O 900
bushels by rail, an increase of 1876
900 bushels over 1909, or 80 per cent.
Primary markets received 659,e84,-
600 bushels, an increase of 1888, 900
bushels, or 9.97 per cent The largest
business was in the last half of the
year, as farmers were forced to mar
ket their surplus crops in larger vol
ume than in recent years, because
bankers refused to loan money for
holding the grains back, as in previous
years.
This immense volume of traffic was
handled in the closing five months with
less delay and congestion than in any
previous year. During the winter
months from January to March there
was congestion due to heavy SHOWS
and cold weather, which retarded the
movement of trains to an unusual ex-
tent, and some cars of grain were out
three months from the time of ship
ment until they reached their destina-
ton, although the distance traversed
was less than $50 miles
The large traffic at Chicago was
mainly in corn and oats the latter be-
ing the heaviest in ten years, showing
an increase of 13,475,000 bushels over
l9U9. corn increased L 1,OSS,UUO
bushels, and wheat, which is the least
important from traffic standpoint,
owing to its small volume as compared
with the coarse grains, increased only
555, 900 bushels.
In the -four traffic, as shown by the
deliveries at Chicago for the year,
there was decrease of 521, 900 bar
rels from 1909. The Burlington made
the best showing in flour. increasing
7O5,00O barrels, while the largest loss
was sustained by the st. Paul, 617, 900
barrels.
In the grain tonnage all roads ex-
cept the st. Paul handled more than
in 1909. The latter's loss was nearly
1000, 900 bushels.
Eastbound railroads made a poor
showing IN the flour. grain and pro-
vision. traffic last year. Flour ship
ments from Chicago for the twelve
months of 1910 were the lightest in
seven years, and decreased lila, 476
barrels from 1909. Grain decreased
27,532, 900 bushels and were the small
est in four years, and provisions de-
creased 96,697 tons, and showed the
lightest in over seven years.
Lake shipments were 59,9 900
bushels, of which 40,6e2,00O bushels
were corn, e,I8o,U bushels wheat,
7,299,0O0 bushels oats; and 1900
bushels barley In 1909 they were A.
lO65,OOO bushels, including 9,295,000
bushels wheat, 26,S52,000 bushels
corn, 4657,00O bushels oats, $4,000

Chicago promoters of a new line
southwest across the state are visiting
Ardmore and other southern Oklahoma

posed line runs from Sallisaw, in the
Cherokee country, south and west

Orient railroad, probably at Chillico-

more, connecting with the main line at
Duncan is also proposed. Ardmore cit
liens are asked to give the company
terminal facilities and a $50, 900 bonus.
Rumor says the lines are to be a por-
ton of the Gould system.

TRUST FUND FOR EXCESS FARE.
Oklahoma Legislator Would Make
Roads Pay Into Treasury.

Guthrie, Ok, Jan. 10.-Representa-
tive Charles Peters of Usage county
has a legislative measure which will
require railroad companies operating
through Oklahoma to pay into the state
treasury, to be held as a trust fund,
the cent per mile excess charged in
passenger fares since February, 1910,
when the Oklahoma Z-cent fare was
enjoined by Federal Judge Hook. Lee
gality of the proposed measure is be-
ing investigated. Under the federal
order, passengers are given claim
checks, which the railroads would be
compelled to redeem in the event the
decision is against them in the court
of last resort. Failure on the part of
the passenger to present the claim
check would leave the railroad COM
pany winner. It is figured by Mr.. Pc
tiers that the 1-cent excess now aggre-
gates between $1,000,O00 and 100000,
and the idea of placing the money in
a trust fund, he says, is to have the
fund remaining unclaimed after a fixed
time following reversal. credited to the

Hartman Plan of Making Superin-

Junction City, Kan. Jan. 1o.-The
Hartman plan of building railroads
and running the greatest system in
the world is good one. Some time
ago when 1t was reported that the
superintendent would be made to or
der the railroad men all wondered.
It's fact, however. The Union Pa

this end the men are being given a
test
Not long ago Mr.. Spangler was as
signed for. prom otion. He was started
through the preliminary course, which
takes several years. For few months
he was employed as engine wiper at
the Ellis shops; then he was given a
shovel and told to fire an engine.
After a few weeks at this work he was
sent to a small station in a level
country and given job as section
foreman, to rebuild a track. Then he
was sent to the mountain district,
where he had an opportunity to find
he was ordered to Omaha, where he is
now adding up columns of figures and
getting an insight to the work that an
auditor has to do. He will soon go
west again, where he will find a job
awaiting him in some of the depart

and here at a lathe he will do the
work of machiniSt.
For two years this course will be
gone over, and If he makes good he

Now comes the annual rumor that
Mr.. Brinkerhoff is to retire, and while
this is hardly probable, rumor has it
that Harry Richards will be started

soon be found with a pick and shovel
with his gang of Mexicans out laying
track somewhere along the main line.

only after the careful digestion Of
