RAILROAD NEWS.
Rail Lines Are Planning to De-
velOp West.
So Says G. L. Seagraves, COloni-
cation Agent A. I. & S. f.
FOR FIFTY MILLIONS.
Room for This Many-Lower
Cost of Living.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World,
FOR FIFTY MILLIONS.

Kansas City, NO, Feb. 10.-That the
American people themselves and not
the railroads are responsible for the
present high cost of living, is the opin-
ion voiced yesterday by Charles l.
Seagraves, general colonization agent
of the Santa F'e. VINO was here from
Chicago. Mr.. SeagI ayes is the official
to whom the Santa Fe has intrusted
the project of pOpulating its vast west
ern territory.
1.-The railroads and railroad rates
haven't anything to do with the high
cost of living" Mr.. Seagraves said. TT
is all due to the tendency of the Amer
lean people cityWerd. AS people flock
to the city the dependence increases
and with fewer people raising the ne
cessities Of life the prices naturally
soar.
"The cost of living is an economic
problem. and the only practical solution
is the back to the farm idea. There
isn't any great need for the people to
pack the cities. West of the Mississippi
river there is room for 10000 900 people.
Within a radius of $50 miles of Kan
sas City 100000 could make a COM
Portable living. And to fill up this vast
area is the proposition on which all
the great trunk lines of the west are
working.
West No Longer Arid
1T used to be that the west was in
the arid section, and rightly named it
was in that time. But modern science
is making the west blossom out as the
country's garden spot. Dry farming
and irrigation have reclaimed greatest
stretches of fertile land in the once
Great American desert. New Mexico,
the Panhandle, Pecos valley and Gulf
coast of Texas, and Arizona, where
once only cactus and sagebrush grew,
now in small farms are furnishing the
means of livelihood for thousands of
people. who once thought that only
the east and middle west were adapted
to farming. Or one doesn't need to go
that far. Western Kansas and Okla
homa. are yet only in their infancy and
have room for thousands of people

west is one on which the railroads have

McGILL EN- ROUTE TO MEETING.
Denver Owner Makes Eastern TriD in
Search of Players.

Denver. Feb. 10.-James C. McGill,
president of the Denver baseball club,
left Denver at 1876 last night over the
Union Pacific for an extended stay in
the east. during which time he will
close deals for at least three major
league players. Incidentally he will at
tend the Western League schedule met
ing at st. Joseph, and will hold a con-
ference with Jack Hendricks, at which
plans for the coming season will be
outlined.
Among others he will meet Muggsy
McGraw and make arrangements for
the purchase of one or two of the Gil
ants surplus talent. Unless the date
of the Western League meeting is
changed it is probable that McGill will
give his proxy to Manager Jack Hend-
ricks. who will represent Denver at the
session.
McGilI will stop in Chicago on his
way east and have a conference with
Hendricks. At this it is be decided
what players are needed by the local
club and a systematic effort will be
MADE to land them. For two months
Jack Hendricks has been on the trail
of several good players, now the pro-
perty of major league clubs, and several
of these deals will be closed during Mr..
Giil's absence in the east.

Date.
Wants to See His Pitchers and

FIELDERS DUE LATER.
st. Joseph Schedule Meeting
Called for Sunday Next.
M'Gill of Denver Scouting on
the Way.

The baseball players Of the Topeka
club will soon be sent their reporting
dates. Manager Moore said today he
intended to have his pitchers and
catchers in Topeka on March 10. The
fielders will be called in for March 20,
five days later.
If the present weather can be taken
as anything of an indication, these
dates will be none too early for bene-
fetal practice and Moore is anxious to
look over his material.
Pitchers Fugate, Ovitz, Beecher, Nc
Grath. Leak, Buchanan, Upton and
ready to report. Butch Kerns, Starna-
gle and Morris are the three catchers
banked on by the arrangements to do
the backstopping.
No new deals have been closed hE
the club in several weeks but several
are pending by which it is hoped to
add one or two infielders and one OUT
fielder.
Both Moore and President Wood
ward will go to st. Joseph to attend the
schedule meeting of the Western
League Sunday, February Z. Probably
some deals win be pulled off there when
the club owners get together. Then
when the big league meeting is held
in Chicago the following Wednesday,,
there are expected to be some fine
chances to get the surplussage of ma
terial.
Besides the adoption of a schedule
for the Western League, the St. Joseph.
meeting will be called upon to name the
official league. Whether the Victor bali
will be retained is not much discussed.
II is said the Goldsmith people will SUBJ
NIT a bali and a. proposition.
