RAILROAD NEWS.
Galveston Route Is the Goat
of Kansas Railroads.
Here Is Where Shippers Pry
Loose Their Cut in Rates.
WHAT IS RESULT ?
This Is What Rail Men Are Ask
ing Themselves Today.
Other Items Of General Interest
in Traffic World.

IT there ever was a railroad line THAI
could be called the goat of traffic, it
| is the stretch of rails leading from
Galveston to points in Kansas Every
time Kansas shipper representative
wishes to have a certain rate lowered
he goes before the interstate commerce
commission with a plea that the rates
from New York, or some Atlantic port,
| be lowered via Galveston. The COM
] missions asks him why he wishes the
rate lowered through the Galveston
port.
oh L want to see that line prosper, -
is his ready answer.
The commission weighs matters and
decides to lower the rate from New
York to Topeka, say All is fine. The
shipper sees sunshine ahead In d
week or so he orders his stuff from
New York. But does he tell them to
ship it via Galveston and the line he is
anxious to see built up?
Not on your life. He knows that the
sea and rail I1ies-from New York or
some other port by boat to Newport
News or Portsmouth and thence across
the country by rail-wiH reduce its
rates to meet the Galveston reduction
just ordered by the commission
Knowing this he orders his shipment
over these lines-and the Galveston
stretch of rails are not touched by the
shipper who plead for its prosperity.
Probably as long as there is such Il
thing as railroad freight department
an interstate commerce commission
and a shipper, a fight over rates will
be waged. The shipper is always look
ing out for lower rates on his materials
from the east. The railroad general
freight agent struggles to retain the
revenues on his lines. The interstate
commerce commission continues to adj
just rates here and there-always
downward.
But in this Galveston howl in Kansas,
the rate uestion is a joke. 1t isn't
joke to the Kansas railroads-far
from that. It is cutting deep into their
revenues. It isn't a joke with the in
terstate commission-they are making
a business of adjusting rates to the
benefit of the shipper. But to the ship
pers who know right down in their
hearts that all this bunk about wish
ing prosperity to the Galveston lines is
pry under the railroad revenues, the
rate matter is something to chuckle
over.
Possibly no ore is kicking because
the Kansas shippers chuckle when the
rates are reduced, Kansas the only
time a person kicks is when the rail-
roads profit. And there is more or less
truth to the claim that Kansas ship
pers are struggling to make their in
stitutions pay dividends. But this Gal

is the small bullseye, and while the

ing out only a thin line of illumina-

The big advantage of the wide
spread of light that the Fresnel lens
gives is that in rounding curve II
spreads it's rays in all directions over
the land so that trains on the other
turn of the curve can plainly see it,
whereas they can not observe the light
of the ordinary train signal lamp This
fact gives the FreSnel lens a great ad-
vantage in the line of safety.
The problem of getting light that
would carry around curves is one on
which the railroads have been working
for years. because it means so much
to them from the standpoint of safety.

weston rate reduction aet-it is the
goat" that the shippers always beat
over the horns when the sentiment ! II
a reduction in freight rates is fos-
tered.
A fight on this matter is going o.
in Kansas now. The shippers are ask
ing for cheaper rates. Not that the
shippers do not deserve cheaper rates
but the very fact that they are us
ing this moss eaten, tearstained argument
for a better Galveston rate, is the thing
that is almost a laughing stock among
the rate men,
Many times Kansas shippers have
asked the commission for cheaper
rate via the Galveston port What they
asked for was a reduction in their ship
ments from New York-or Philadelphia
Boston and Baltimore. These ship
mentS according to their petition would
come around to Galveston by water.
From Galveston to Kansas they would
come by rail The shippers argue IN
favor OF this reduction that they want
to see the Galveston lines join in the
prosperity procession. The rate is low
cred. In order to stay on the railroad
map, the railroads running across he
country from Newport News or Ports
mouth must capture this western pus4-
ness to deliver over to other lines At
Chicago, Kansas City or st. Louis
What do they do? It's easy. They dc
just what the shippers know they are
going to do when the Galveston reduc-
ton is asked-they cut their rates ~
meet the Galveston schedule.
And the shipper goes merrily on
sen6ing his orders over the sea and
rail lines. The plea for a distribution
of prosperity over the Galveston line
is forgotten-until another day when
a new cut is desired.
What VIII this come to2
That is what the railroad general
freight agents and officers are asking
themselves. And to the average man
VINO can look upon the situation WITH
out prejudice or without a wink at the
shipper-the constant reduction and the
never increase in rates is going to have
no little effect on tine money that ran
roads pat in circulation every year in
this country.

An emergency stop can also be made

it is necessary for him to recharge and

Because three applications can be

NO IDLE CARS ON MO. P.
Largest Movement in History of Lines
Is Reported!

The freight movement on the Mis-
souri, Pacif1c-Iron Mountain has shown
a most decided increase lately. The
largest movement in the history OF
these lines occurred Friday, October g.,
when 1899 loaded cars were handled
on that day there were only five cars
on the entire 1900 miles of track of
the system which had been standing
over "a hours without movement. The
following day, Saturday, october Z. the
movement was almost as great as on
Friday, there being 13,049 loaded cars
handled On Saturday there was not
a single car on the entire system which
had stood "a hours.
The largest single days loading on
the tracks of the COMPANY in its his
tory occurred Monday, October g.,
when 3415 cars were loaded on the
Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain tracks.
This is exclusive of a few thousand
cars received from other lines, which
were moved over the company's tracks
on that day. This heavy movement of
freight IS indicative of a good. healthy
condition of affairs. especially in the
west and southwest.
