Kansas Horse Plague Gone.

Topeka, Oct. 14.-The horse
plague that caused the death of more
than twenty thousand horses and an
actual loss of more than 2 million
dollars during August and Septem-
Der, has disappeared as mysteriously
as it came. j. H. Mercer, state live
stock commissioner, has not had a
single new case of the disease report
ed to him since a week ago Satur-
day. One death was reported to
him from Clark county last week
but it was that of a horse taken sick
early in the previous week.
"The disease apparently has abso-
lutely died out" Mr.. Mercer said to-
day. 81 know of possibly one hun
dred horses that are still sick from
the disease, but they are recovering
and probably will be all right in a
short time. haven't had new case
reported for a week and we are
keeping pretty close tab on the dis
ease in every county that reported it.
We are watching for new cases
every day.
'There haven't been more than
five deaths of horses from the plague
in the last ten days. l don't know

cause of the disease. We haven't
found cure and we do not know
how or why it came, or how or why
it went away after being in the state

POSTPONE EQUIPMENT ORDERS.
Rail Men Predict Congestion of Traffic
This Fall.

One peculiar fact about the steel
trade situation is that both railway
men and industrial experts have been
predicting for this autumn congestion
of traffic and one of the greatest car
shortages ever experienced, yet that
orders for equipment and track sup
plies are still being postponed, says
the New York Evening Post. Car or
ders placed during the first quarter
aggregated about $4,000, whereas
about $4,000 cars were put on the
books last November. Inquiries for
cars have, it is true, been rather more
plentiful since the beginning of April,
and several contracts are likely to be
taken shortly, but car shops are oper-
ating only something over SO per cent
of capacity, and have been apportion
ing their orders over the next few
months on this basis Any increase in
demand would afford better working
conditions, but it would also increase
the pressure for plates and shapes.
The demand for other products of
the industry has grown and developed
much faster than for rails. Domestic
consumption of rails in 1911 was only
2,4O1,916 tons, which compares with
3,649,S51 in 1906, when the proper
ton of the heaviest SECTIONS was less
than 1t now is. While there has been
considerable optimism expressed over
the possible tonnage the railroads will
require in 1912, the fact remains that
the transportation systems continue
backward about ordering material of
all kinds, despite the brighter bust
ness outlook and the rosy expectations
as to the years harveStS.

cars, with an increase in miscellaneous
cars of 712. The decrease in box cars
is general throughout the country
with the exception of groups L Gas
above) and 8 (Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan and western Pennsylvania) where
there is a slight increase. The de-
crease in coal cars is mainly in groups
2, Gas above) and (the Virginias
and Carolinas). Compared with the
same date of 1911 there is a decrease
in total surplus of 1885 cars, of
which 25,865 is in box and 97,387 in
coal cars; and an increase in total
shortage of 1854 cars. of which 49,
029 is in box and S,148 in coal cars.
Improved weather conditions have
probably contributed to the increase
in surplus cars as compared with the
preceding period as well as to the
in the total shortage.

There has been a good deal of dis

months about the physical valuation
of railroad property, cost of construc-

made by Governor Stubs before the
Interstate commerce commission that
he could duplicate the Atchison, To-

lines in Kansas for $4,000 a mile.
The governors statement was refuted
by the public assessment records
which show that the Santa Fe pays
taxes in Kansas on a valuation of
$49,2SO a mile, branch lines includ-
ed with main line, the valuation hav-
ing been made by a board appointed
by Governor Stubs.
