Attention To Beet Growers

The National Sugar Manufacturing
company has voluntarily raised the
price OF beets from IS and $3.50 per
ton to $3.50 and So, beCts testing not
less than II per cent ana not less than
so per cent purity up to Ii per cent
and not less than 80 per cent purity
$3.50; and above 10 per cent and not
less than so per cent purity 80. Owing
to the fact that the farmers are show
ing u disposition to grow beets, the
company feels that II will stimulate
the busisness to Increase the price and
the more acreage they can get the
more they can pay for The beets. There
Is IL fixed charge always against a sugar
mill and the increase in tonnage les
sens the cost OF producing sugar, as
this fixed charge stands against u light
tonnage. Those who have already
signed up will receive the benefit Of
the better price and their contracts
will be changed accordingly.

Figures ShowGain
In Gross Revenue
Railroad Receipts at Ordway
in 1911 Nearly $4,000 In
Excess of 1910 Total

Last week the New Era presented a
full showing OF the freight business
done during the past year by the
Missouri Pacific, together with con.
densed resume including incoming
and outgoing freight, tonnage and
revenue for the year. This week we
add the revenue derived from sale OF
tickets and comparison of the busi-
ness at the Ordway station with that
OF 1910. We have no figures available
whereby we can compare the business
OF Sugar City and Olney Springs.
We have heard considerable comment
since our last issue upon the fact that
the tables showed a total OF eleven
cars OF household goods had been
shipped out OF Ordway by parties re.
moving to other points. Our critics
will probably rest more easily when
they learn that the records Of incom-
ing freights show that there were
twenty.six cars OF this class OF goods
shipped into Ordway during the same
period, or something over twice as
many as were shipped away. So It
would appear that Ordway isconsider-
ably to the good In this respect.
AS to the total tonnage and revenue
for Ordway and Sugar City, IL should
be borne In mind that much credited
TO the latter station is derived from
the shipping 10 OF feed for the feeding
plant located at that point, while the
sugar factory receives large quantities
OF coal. lime and machinery, all heavy
freight. The sugar bects from this
district are also credited u that
station, while the cantaloupes are
credited to Ordway. In the total OF
ticket sale IL should alsu be borne In
mind that Sugar City Is the only c0u
pom ticket Office in this section and
all eastbound coupon tickets sold are
credited TO that station. Perhaps II
would not be too much to say that
fully $500 OF the total sales credited
to Sugar City originated In the Ord.
way Office.
Following are the condensed totals
and comparative table of the Ordway

SANTA FE RUNIoR Is ACCEPTED.
Texas Hears of New North and South
Line to Gulf Points.

From Longview, Tex, comes this
story on the proposed line south TO the
announcement Of the plan outlined in
the State Journal recently. The story
follows:
''It is learned here that the Atchi-
son. Topeka & Santa Fe has adopted
plans for constructing a cutoff
Texas to connect one of it's more
northern divisions with it's gulf Sys-
tenn. The proposed road will run be
tween Longview and Tulsa Ok, via
Paris, Tex. 1t involves the construc-
ton of approximately $50 miles of
track. The project is of the utmost
i'm portance, as it will mean the estab-
lishment of new north and south
line of the Santa Fe, extending from
Kansas City and more northern points
coast, with branch lines running into
Louisiana and the timbered territory
of east Texas.
''The proposed cutoff will connect
at Longview with the Texas & Gulf
division and at Tulsa with its line
that runs to Havana, Kan. Already
the Santa F'e has a branch line that
runs from Kirbyville, Tex, to Oak
dale, La. This. together with the cut
off links, would give the Santa Fe a
direct route between northern points
on it's system and New Orleans. The
Longview division now runs to Port
Bolivar, situated just across the bay
from Galveston. This latter line passes
this line the Santas Fe has a branch
running to SommervilIe. the latter
place being situated the present
north and south trunk line of the
cutoff will shorten the distance be-
tween Chicago and the gulf $50 miles
as compared with the Santa FEES pres
ent north and south line

FREE RIDES TO p. o. EMPLOYEES.
Railroads Give Away 100000 Miles
Annually Is Their Claim

Free transportation to the extent of
sc ,000,000 miles is what the railroads claim
they are compelled to give every year to
officers and agents of the postoffice de-
partment- This is set forth in state
ment today by the carriers OF the country,
through the committee on railway mail
pay, crtticising the postmaster general 6
estimate of the cost of postal service, and
eontending that the estimate of the cost
made by him is far below the actual ex-
pense to the railroads.
The carriers go farther and say that in
addition he has refused to recognize the
fact that it costs anything to supply
transportation to the extent of $4,000, 600
passenger miles a year to officers and
agents of the postoffice department wher
not in charge of mail This service to the
travelling public at an average rate of 2
cents mile, it is declared, would cost
about 81 100000 a year.
An idea of this service rendered by the
railroads entirely without compensation,
can be had, it is stated, from the fact
that 100000 passenger miles represent
more than Is per cent of the annual pas
senger business handled by the entire
norfolk & Western railroad system

KA- AS DREAM TO COME TRUEq
Revival of Omaha, Dodge City &c
Southern Reported in West.

Dodge City, Kan, Dec. 1s-There is
possibility that Hansford, the deserted
city of the Texas plains, will be repopulat-
ed and become a thriving railroad center.
A movement has recently been started to
revive the Omaha, Dodge City & Southern
railroad project of the later sos.
- over $50 eco was spent by Dodge CityanS
alone on surveys, maps. etc, for the
scheme and the sale of securities well
under way when the financial panic of the
early eos quelled all hopes The road
seemed such certainty that Hansford,
the southern terminal, was laid out and
many fine business blocks erected When
the boom bubble burst these were de-
serted. A north-south road of such scope
is the most feasible railroad project in
the central west today. Somewhere thou
sands of dollars worth of maps and data
are stored and a search viii be made
to locate them. Hansford VIII doubtless
grow rapidly should the road materiaiize.
