SANTA F,E DENIES AN EXTENSION.
Rumor of Withdrawal from Espee
Rental Is Nailed.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 4.-Santa Fe
officials today denied the report which
came from the eastern divisions that
the road was figuring out a scheme to
relieve itself of the heavy rentals to
the Southern Pacific by building a line
of its own between MojaVe and
Bakersfield, the 70-mile stretch to cost
about So, 5OO,0 900 or $4,000 per mile.
At the time of the publication or the
report in these columns some time
ago, local officials had not heard the
report and were ignorant of the pro-
lection of any such plans, although
admitting that it was one that the
company had considered.
For years the Santa Fe had leased
the Southern Pacific's line across the
desert from Needles to Bakersfield in
exchange for a counter lease on the
lines in Mexico which the Santa Fe
owned. Following the transfer of the
Mexican property to the Espee, the
Santa Fe was forced to pay heavy
rental for that portion of the line over
the Tehachapi between MojaVe and
Bakersfield, which is still owned by
the Southern Pacific. According to
the report, the new line would pursue
a course through Tarton, Adobe, Una
dilla, the Miller-Lux ranch, the TETON
ranch and the Los Alamos ranch and
through the west border of the Ante
lOpe valley.

EARNINGS ON A BIG INCREASE

Other Items of Interest In the

Chicago, July 4.-May set record
for the movement of loaded cars over
all western railroads, and the traffic IN
June is ahead of that in May and e1-
ceeds any June known. Operating con-
ditions We're normal in every respect,

Earnings have increased materially
over last year. in the gross, but the
net revenue is expected to show de-
crease on some lines, as the cost or
new equipment and betterments are
being charged up to operating expenses
A railway official in explaining this to
the New York Evening Post, said that
some of the roads did not do much
improvement work last year, while now
they are doing a great deal, which
swells operating expenses. In reality,
the property is benefited, although the
showings financially do not reflect it.
More than the usual preparations are

NEW U. p. LINE IS OPENED.
Through Service Soon, Kansas City to
Kearney.

Hastings, Neb., July 4.-Service has
been inaugurated over the new Hast
ings & Northwestern road between this
city and Kearney, a combination train
making the trip via Gibbon, using the
Union Pacific main line between Glib
bon and Kearney. The train will con-
meet here with the ST. Joseph & Grand
Island trains. Regular service for a
time will consist of a train every other
day.
1t is understood that just as soon as
tho receivership suit of the Grand
Island road is settled regular service
will be installed daily, both freight
and passenger.
Work will begin at once on the
Hastings terminals of the Grand Is
land and the new road, a large depot
being planned for place of easy of
access from the heart of the city. New
yards have been laid out and great
deal of work will be done here.
1t is also understood here that
through service, when established, will
be from Kansas City to Kearney,
where connection with the Union Pa
cific main line will be maintained, and
where freight and passengers will be
transferred. This, it is planned will
add largely to the tonnage handled
by the Grand Island road through
Nebraska.

VALUES IN NEBRASKA REDUCED
Minnesota Decision SIashed Sixteen
Millions in Lands.

Minnesota Decision SIashed Sixteen
Millions in Lands.
Lincoln, Neb., July 4.-Under the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the Minnesota rate cases,
holding that a proper physical valua-
ton of railroads should allow nothing
more than the fair market value of
lands included in their rights of way
and station grounds, the state railway
commission of Nebraska will be called
upon to deduct about SIG, 100000 from
the land values of the seven principal
lines in this state as heretofore COM
puted.
Two sets of figures were submitted
by the physical valuation bureau in
its original reports to the railway
commission. One of these shows the
market values only, amounting to
$24, ,339. The other, based on an
average multiple of one and two
thirds to indicate an assumed value
including severance damages"
amounts to S4O,475,976 1t is the lat
ter figures which the railway commits
sion has been using up to the present
time.
The totals given are for the Union
Pacific, Burlington, Northwestern,
Missouri Pacific, Minneapolis &
Omaha, Rock Island, and Grand Is
land railroads. How the land values
of the different lines will be affected
by looping off the multiple, which
the federal supreme court says should
not be allowed, is shown in the ac-
cOmpanVing table:

FRECKLE-FACE
Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots,
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face, to
try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a relia BILE dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it re-
mokes the freckles; while If it does
give you clear complexion the expense
is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine-double
strength from your druggist and a few
applications should show you how easy
it is to rid yourself of the homely
freckles and get a beautiful complex
ion. Rarely is more than one ounce
needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove freck-

WILL GIVE LEFT LEG.
Cripple Offers Limb to Those Needing
Skin to Graft.

Buffalo, July SIN a letter to Mayor
Louis P. Fuhrmann, Charles P. Golner
of Wheeling, w. Va, a cripple offers
to part with his left leg to aid the VIC
Tins of the Hustled elevator fire upon
whose bodies large quantities of skin
must soon be grated.
Golner in his letter says:
My left limb has been of no service
to me since it was crushed years ago.
though the skin. according to a special
list, is in a perfectly healthy condition.
I would gladly give it to the Hustled
Mill sufferers with the understanding
that the expense of operation be borne
by those engaged in relief and rescue
work.
Accompanying the letter is an affida-
Wit from the editor of a Wheeling
newspaper that the offer is bona fide.
Mayor Fuhrmann turned the letter
over to the hospital authorities.

Carshops in all sections are working at

petent help. Every western road re-
ports that the percentage of bad-orde1
cars is smaller than usual and 1T is
expected that the bad-order supply

in the grain districts west of the MIS-

which will begin shortly.
Conditions in Kansas.
Crop conditions are spotted. Harvest
ing of winter wheat is well advanced,
and about so per cent of the Kansas
crop is cut. Texas and Oklahoma arS
threshing, and there has also been con-
siderable threshing III Kansas and Mis-
souri,. Spring wheat in the Northwest
has been benefited by rains in sections
where the precipitation did not come
too late, but prospects of a bumper
crop have disappeared, and a talr aV-
erage is about all that can be expected.
Latest returns indicate that even the
estimates on Kansas will have to De re
duced, the state report issued Friday
suggesting only $4,000, 900 bushels winter
wheat, or If, 900, 900 bushels short OF
last year,
Corn has made good growth, especial
ly where an abundance of moisture
prevails, but it would be benefited b.
good soaking rains. oats are a smaller
crop than last year, under the most
favora BILE circumstances.
Business conditions have not changed
materially within a week. There is a
healthy situation, with a large con-
sumption and an absence of speculative
buying, with no prospect of any change
from this method in the immediate
future.
Grain deliveries at Chicago last week
were heavy, but fell 997, 900 bushels, or
SO per cent under the previous week,
only to gain 5,32S, 900 bushels, or IA per
cent over last year, and 4559,OOO BUSH
els, or 102 per cent over the average
for the past five years. It is the larg-
est business for the railroads that they
have known at the end of June. Wheat
receipts increased 263, 900 bushels, while
corn decreased 1000 bushels, and oats
500 900 bushels for the week The show
ing, as compared with last year, was
excellent from a traffic standpoint,
there being gains of 100000 bushels
wheat, 1,571 900 bushels corn, and O.
405, 900 bushels oats.
The best showing was made in grain
by the Northwestern, whsGh had % per
