RAILWAY NOTES.

The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
is planning to make extensive addi-
lions to it's yards in Des Moines, Ia.
Land for this purpose is now being
acquired.
w. H. Hall, superintendent of tel
egraph of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, has announced that material
has been ordered to construcf>tele-
phone lines for train dispatching from
penison, Texas, south to Hillsboro
via TT. Worth, from Denison to Hills
bore via Dallas and from Hillsboro to
Smithville.
Passenger trains, of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas now run to and from
the new Union Station at Houston,
Texas.
In some respects the Summing rail-
way is the most promising line in all
China. 1t was capitalized, planned,
engineered, and constructed by Chi
nese, without any foreign help what
ever. If it has technical faults and is
not run altogether in accordance with
for eign ideas, 1t is nevertheless an eff
fective line, prosperous and we'll man
aged, so far as results can show, and
is a standing example of what Chi
nese effort and Chinese talent will ac-
complish In China in the near future.
The strike which was declared some
weeks ago by the Brotherhood of Lo-
ccmotive Engineers on the Southern
1
railway has proved a complete failure.
The roads employed Mexicans to take
the places of the Americans who quit
wcrl1, and the former employees have
withdrawn from the scene and have
sought employment on the Southern
Pacific and other roads in the United
States.
H E. Greer, general car foreman
of the Missouri Pacific at Atchison
Kan, has resigned to become mechan-
zeal expert for McCord & Co., Chicago,
succeeding the late D. ]. McOscar,
who died on December %, 1910.
The eastern lines have decided to
make summer tourist rates from Chi
cago and ST. Louis to Atlantic coast
points slightly higher than last year.
The United States district attorney
at Chicago has. Brought two suits
against the Indiana Harbor Belt
charging violation of the 28-hour law
governing shipments Of live stock.
The Union Pacific has given a con-
tract to the Foundation Construction
Co., New York city, for rebuilding its
bridge over the Kaw river in Kansas
City, Mo-, to conform to the plans of
the Kaw Valley Drainage board.
The Texas legislature has passed a
bill to authorize the exchange of
newspaper advertising for intrastate
railway transportation 1t is under
stood that Governor Colquitt favored
permitting an exchange of advertising
and transportation, but the bill as
finally passed permits the issuance of
free transportation to so many classes
of state and federal officers that he
may veto 1t.
The fourth annual ball of the
switchmen will be given in Steinberg's
hall tonight. 1t will be the big time"
of the switchmen organization for
1911 and invitations have been given
to everyone. The Switchmen's Union
of North America is strong order in
Topeka and their social gatherings are
signs for good times.

REDUCTION OF EXPRESS RATES.
One Dollar Per Hundred on New York
to Denver Rates.

Denver, Col, March 21.-'From an
absolutely authoritative source have
information that Denver will shortly
enjoy the blessing of 81 per hundred
rate on express from New York" said
Altol ]. Tint, traffic manager of A. T.
Lewis & Sons Dry Goods company. A
petition for reduction Of 81 per hundred
is now before the interstate commerce
commission.
Mr.. Tint ia one of the best authorities
on freight and express transportation
in the west. He will not divulge the
source Of his information, but his con-
fidence in the successful outcome of
the organized warfare which he has
been leading for several years on ex-
press rates is convincing to practically
all the large express receivers of Dem
yer.
The present rate on express from New
York and other seaboard points to
Denver is So per hundred. This is a re-
0uction of 80 cents from the $3.50 rate
which obtained up to two years ago,
and that reduction was obtained
through joint effort of a number OF
western commercial organizations and
George J. Kindel.
The approaching victory of users OF
express lines is a result of the combined
efforts of 125 commercial organizations
throughout the United States. The
Denver Chamber of Commerc did not
appear in the formal complaint made
to the interstate commerce commission
about year ago, but later got on the
list of compliments.

PLEA OF PRESIDENT WILLARD.
b. & o. Executive Says People Need
Better Railroad Facilities.

President Willard of the Baltimore &
Ohio in a speech at the banquet of the
Baltimore Chamber of Commerce said:
when the Interstate commerce law
was first passed 1t was claimed that the
railroads charged different rates to Diff
ferent individuals for performing the
same service; that they gave free
transportation to some and not to 9TH
ers; that they exercised a pernicious
influence over legislation in some of the
states, and, in short, did not treat all
alike as they were required to do under
the common law. think it can truth
fully be said that all Of these things
have now been corrected, or at least
the machinery for the correction has
been provided.
Now, having done this, do you not
think the carriers should in fairness be
given little more consideration than
has been shown them during the last
few years? The railroads have accept
ed the perhaps you will say
because they could not help it, and
believe are trying today harder than
ever before to fulfill their proper OBJ
legations. 1t is not American to jump
on one when he is down.
''The people of this country have a
magnificent transportation system, but
they want and ought to have more and
still better facilities, and the railroad
companies will furnish such facilities If
encouraged to do So"

Carl Becker. a big German of wonder
full strength.
Just now Gotch is wrestling every
body any time and any way. Since
coming back onto the mat he has
been in hurry to reach his old time
ever. He threw Fred Bea1l twice in q
finish match at Wichita last night,
gaining the first fall in 90 minutes and
the second in 10 minutes.
He appeared in Omaha Saturday
night in twenty-five minutes of very
pretty wrestling, throwing William De-
metra1, the Greek. in thirteen minutes
and twelve minutes, two falls. The
champion was welcomed by a huge
crowd, the Krug theater being filed
to the roof with Omaha wrestling fans.
Gotch was far too big for Demetra1
and 1t was merely skill and immense
strength in an exhibition, throwing a
clever wrestler. Demetral stuck to his
task we'll and some good wrestling
was seen.
Announcement was made at the
ringside of the recent contract made
by the champion to meet any man in
the world inside of six months and
Gotch states that he will meet any,

cago, with it's $4,000 contract, may

his ability to act utility role was so
pronounced he played both inf1eld and

of the players said: "He is too good

Breitenstein took up his position in
