RAILWAY NOTES.

Railroads operating through the
Kansas City gateway are handling
about the same volume of freight bus
mess now as for the corresponding
traffic officials. In most lines of ton
mage there are in fact, slight
gains but losses in dressed meats and
certain other classifications offset them
and hold the volume at just about last
years level.
According to Chief Clerk Gilliland, of
the Rock Island passenger department,
the race horses in the south have start
ed to move. This is a sure sign of
spring. The Rock Island is running
special train from Ell Paso to Louis
vile. Ky.
Thursday evening the Rock Island
sent a special train of three cars from
Kansas City to San Francisco. This
train carried four officers ana ~ en-
listed men from New York city to the
coast. This is not a war sign, accord
ing to the Rock Island war experts

means that the train facilities of Pu-

Pueblo will be the terminus of all Rock

New York Journal of Commerce:
Mr. Hill is gradually emerging from
his pessimistic mood. He told question
ers at washington that the business
outlook was good. though he refrained
from using superlatives. This attitude
is taken by nearly every prominent
! financier. All admit that trade is mix
ed and that quietness may continue for
| few months. but there is an impress
sive undercurrent of confidence that
| everything will work out satisfactorily.
The absence of speculation not only in
stocks but in grain. in cotton, in real
! estate and in merchandise is construed
| as conducive to better times by and
| by. Cheap money plus confidence are
! two powerful factors in stimulating
prosperity. A third is bountifu1 har-
| vest and this has every indication of
being forthcoming in due season.
| According to James c. jeffrey, at
| torney for the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, and son of President E. T.
Jeffrey of that system, the company
| will lose $156.000 year if the long and
! short haul clause is applied to freight
/ traffic between Denver and Salt Lake
| city, as is proposed by the interstate
commerce commission.

RATES ALWAYS TO BE CHANGED.
Complex Conditions in This Country
Grew From Modern Needs.

The present system of railroad rates
in this country is a gradual develop
ment similar to the common law of
England, the rates, like the English
laws, requiring change from time to
time to adapt the system to modern
needs and progress. They are COM
pick growth out of the needs of each
community, each industry, each COM
modify, each individual served by the
railroads, and as the needs of one of
them is met by a new rate, another
rate for such other industry, COM
modify or individual in some other
community needs adjustment and so
on. There exists a vast number of
diff rent services on account of differ
ent directions of haul, the different
bulk of commodities, different speed,
different risks, frequent variations in
the volume of traffic, etc, that are
governed by constantly changing COM
mercial conditions. The traffic mana
ger must adjust rates to these services
and conditions. He must not charge
on the one hand more than the ship
per can afford to pay or the shipper
will not ship, nor on the other hand,
if he can help it, less than the cost of
performing the service of shipment,
or he will have to carry the traffic at
a loss. The value of the service and
the cost of the service are the boun-
darv lines of reasonableneSS and these
limits must be observed whether a
road is capitalized at $4,000 a mile or
100000 a mile.-M. n. Stiles in
Moody's Magazine.

ECONOMY on THE FRISCO.
Plea 20 Enginenen to Cut Down Fuel
Bills.

Fort Scott. Kan. March 31.-W. R.
Dixon, a high official of the Frisco,
is making an appeal to the enginemen
of the road for economy in the dis
position of fuel. The fuel factor is
one of the largest that railroad must
face and it is being pushed by the
Frisco management. The company is
going after the matter in a way that
they can get statistics, learn how
much coal should be used and in a
manner that eventually will result in
less coal being used. The company
claims that it can save 100000 more
per month if the firemen can effect a.
saving of one shovel full of coal per
mile. Counting all engines on the sys-
tenn, the company makes the loss of
the waste" of the shovel of coal total
into the thousands. In it's magazines
TO its men it touches on the problem
and a personally signed appeal for
more economy is included in this
months issue of the Frisco Man"

POOR MANAGEMENT THE CAUSE
This Is View of Financial Writer on
Missouri PACIFIC Proposition.

John Moody in Moodys Magazine:
Even very brief examination of the
Missouri Pacific and its allied proper
ties, will show that, in spite of the
poor record in the past, the possibili
ties for the future are unusual. The
reason why the Missouri Pacific is
road of poor credit and poor earnings
is not that there are no possibilities
of growth in its territory, but purely
because it has allowed the traffic to
go to others. The lines of this road
penetrate or cross the states of Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Kansas and Colorado.
Within the past decade the population
of these states has increased from
100000 to nearly S,500,O00-a
growth of nearly SIS per cent-and
yet, during this safe term of years,
the gross business per mile on the
Missouri Pacific lines showed prac-
tically no growth whatever. Other
systems operating in similar territory,
such as the Colorado & Southern, the
Missouri Kansas & Texas, Rock Is
lard, etc, all recorded exceptional
growth in this period in their gross
returns. Thus, while these other sys-
TENS generally have kept up with the
growth in density of population, the
Missouri Pacific has been steadily fall
ing behind. And if we turn to the
matter of net profits, we will see that
results have ben equally unsatisfac-
tory. The net earnings per mile on
the Missouri PacifiS were even greater
half a dozen years ago than they have
recently been. on the other hand,
%other roads operating in the same ter
ritory have all shown steady increases
per mile in net earnings since 1900,
and in most cases today are far ahead
of the Missouri Pacific. All of which
pretty clearly demonstrates that the
operating management of the system
during the past ten years has been of
the poorest kind. While everyone else
has been awake and growing, the
Gould property has been asleep. With
the remarkable prosperity during the
past ten years of the section of the
United States through which these
lines operate, the Missouri Pacific
should have normally shown an in
crease in gross business of at least so
per cent since 1900.

= me the following questions:
How can man be fascin atiDg and

There is wide difference between

A man cannot be fascinating unless
he was born that way. Fascination is
a gift Of the gods. bestowed as caDric-

larly unattractive men. yet they have

often.

No. son, there is no School of Cor
respondence that can teach you the
art of being a fascinator. Probably
the man who IS faseinator doesn't
know how he does it. He just makes
a few passes at any woman, from his
landlady to a millionairess, and he gets
the liver wing of the chicken, or the
heiress and her money bags.
On the other hand. any man who Is
willing to take the chance can make
himself popular with women. because
women are simple creatures and easily
