WILL HURT ROCK ISLAND LINES.
Union Pacific Closed Door Order Will
Affect Business.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.-When the
Union Pacific, on the first of the year
withdraws through freight tariffs on
freight origiEati g east Of the Missouri
river, and originating in the west and
destined for east of the river, via the
Denver gateway, Gould's new Western
Pacific will benefit. 1t will get the traffic
via the Rio Grande that the Burlington
and Rock Island roads have been turn
ing over to the Union Pr cif1c at Den
Yer. Moreove the Rock Island and the
Burlington will get much of the bust
ness that the Western Pacific originates
in the west. The new order will have
the effect of forcing the Burlington, the
Gould and the Rock Island roads into
a traffic alliance for California business
The Burlington, of course, will have
its own north coast lines, but the new
order of tariff withdrawal will apply to
California business as well.
The loss to the Burlington and the
Rock Island roads will be largely in
the green fruit business from the
southern California fruit growing re-
gions. During the past year both roads
have handled q large amount of this
business, and the prospect for it's
growth have been good. The Western
Pacific does not touch such large fruit
growing region as the Southern Pacific,
and because of this as much fruit bust
ness does not originate on its lines.

EsPEE TO AID EMPLOYEES.
Company Will Pay Premium on Secur
itY Bonds.

San Bernardino, Cal, Nov. BE
ginning January 1, the Southern Pa
cific company will assume all bond
premiums of employees in the service.
the generosity of the company being
extended to the employees in this city
as well as at points all along the sys-
TEN.
In the past the custom has been to
require all men handling money to put
up security bond, the premium on
which has oeen paid by the employee
himself. This expense, which in some
cases amounts to a considerable figure,
will be borne by the company itself.
On the Pacific system of the Southern
Pacific there are about $4,000 en-
ployees who will be effected by the
rule, and the new arrangement will
involve a heavy expenditure.
The action is in line with the vel.
fare campaign which the Espee is car
.rying on to better the conditions of
employees.

SUNSET LINE" Is NEW NAME.
Santa Fe Doesn't Please Kansans OF
Dodge City Cutoff.

Dodge City, Kan, Nov. 1.-word has
been received stating that the Santa
Fe has approved the acquisition of
the Dodge City & Cimarron Valley
railroad, known as the Colmor cutoff,
and it will hereafter be known as
1.-The Sunset line and the corporation
as the Sunset Railway company. Ac-
cording to President Ripley work will
stop at Point of Rocks, the first di-
vision point Us miles southwest of
here for at least two years. A branch
from Satanic, northwest, will be built
but the time of construction depends
on the development of the railroad
leSS' counties. People here do not like
the new name given the route and
will likely continue to call it the D.
e. & c. V. or Colmor cutoff.

Few Breeds Better Suited to Farm

Much has been said through the dif-

favor OF the Indian Runner duck, but

possibilities and advantages of rear

AS have been raising this breed OF
ducks for few years, l can testify
that they deserve all the praise given
them.
They are not an entirely new vari-
