MANAGERS
DEFEAT
FOES
New Policies Blank Action at
Washington Speed
ed Up so Per Cent.
BY WILLIAM HARD.

NEW YORK, April 25.-While
Washington from time to time
imagines itself to be engaged in
trying to settle the railroad ques-
ton, this city Of New York, with
the help Of the city Of Chicago
and Of other railroad centers, is
busily and quite considerably sue
cessfully engaged in trying to set
tie it one way before Washington
can settle it any other way.
The effort by the railroad man
ayers to make the railroads pop
ular and prosperous before the
statesmen at Washington can
make the railroads deservedly
hated and Improbable is going on
day and night and has produced
some extraordinary and politically
unobserved results.
Policies Of Managers.
The observer from Washington Is
bound to note that the really inside
story Of ultimate railroad legisla-
ton is not in Washington at all but
In the new policies Of the central
offices of tho railroad managers.
Many months ago the railroad
managers worked out what might
be called an unavoidable practical
joke on the politicians. They de-
termined that insofar as 1t was pos
gible for them to do SO, they would
take away from the politicians GER
tain arguments and certain persons
previously highly influential in
Washington in anti-railroad agita-
ton.
The railroad managers set up two
ideals for themselves. One was to
give a notable improvement in
service. The other was to get on
good personal terms with shippers.
The former ideal has been thor
oughly achieved. The latter is on
its way to contamination, particu-
larly through the creation of the
new shippers" regional advisory
boards"
Through these two Developments,
while the tire of anti.railroad agi-
tation and legislation at AWash-
ington has been famed by certain
genuine grievances from certain
quarters, the fuel for the enlarge
ment OF the fire has been restricted
and In certain important quarters
has entirely disappeared.
Great Expenditures Made.
BY prodigious expenditures on
freight cars and on locomotives the
railroad hangers have now brought
1t about that in this country there
are 100000 surplus freight cars
above the transportation needs Of
American agricultural and industrial
business and 1890 surplus locomo-
tives serviceatle but stored for
future use.
Also there are still on order by
the railroads and coming forward
for delivery some 10000 additional
freight cars and some 500 additional
locomotives.
By means Of this equipment and
BY means of certain efficiency

WANT NICE LITTLE
DEER FOR A PET ?
YOU CAN GET ONE BY APPLY,
ING TO UNCLE SAM AND
PAYING EXPRESS ON 1T.

The United States Department OF
Agriculture. through the forest SER
vice. has some thousands OF deer to
give away, according to an announce
ment Just received by The Dawson
News. These animals are part OF the
large herd Of mule deer, estimated
at over 10000 head, found on the
Kaibab National Forest in north
ern Arizona on the northern side
OF the Grand Canyon OF the Colorado.
This area was set aside as a national
game preserve by President Roose-
welt in 1906 in order to preserve the
deer which at that time was threaten
ed with total extinction because OF
illegal hunting.
Under the protection OF forest rang
ers, however, the deer have increased
in numbers to a point where the en-
tire herd is threatened with starvation
and prompt efforts must be made to
reduce it to a number that can be
supported by the vegetation on the
Kaibab plateau.
To accomplish this the forest SER
vice desires first to give away as
many deer as possible. The expense to
the applicant will be Grating and
transportation charges, sum estimat-
ed to be about $35 per animal. Young
animals only will be shipped. The es-
timated weight of one animal Grated
lis $50 pounds. These figures are only
approximate. Final figures must be
secured from the forest service.
The Kaibab plateau is in sparsely
settled region cut off from the rest OF
Arizona on the south by the almost
impossible Grand Canyon OF the Col
orado river. On the other sides it is
surrounded by semidesert areas
across which but few deer attempt to
pass. Consequently the deer herd on
the Kaibab forest is limited in its food
supply to the vegetation found only
on the plateau,
This limited food supply has been
reduced to the starvation point for the
large number OF deer now on the Kai-
bah forest, and officials Of the forest
service fear that winter will take a
heavy toll If the herd is not reduced
Immediately.

ATTEMPT IS MADE TO WRECK
C. F. & A. PASSENGER TRAIN
Carrying Atlanta Tallahassee Sleeping
Car That Came Through Dawson.

SdI Ildl SdI1C IAOuSl OdWSOll'
The current issue of the Arlington
Courier reports that an attempt was
made to wreck the southbound pas
senger train on the Georgia, Florida
and Alabama railroad about one mile
north Of Colquitt Persons unknown
took concrete signal post weighing
more than 800 pounds from its loca-
ton on the right-of-way and laid it
across the rails at the south end OF
sharp curve in sight OF the depot at
Colquitt
The pilot Of the locomotive struck
this post and the pony trucks on the
front OF the engine were derailed and
ran nearly 500 feet on the crossties
before the train was brought to a
standstill, but fortunately the remain
der OF the train stayed on the track.
Two white men, Gary Naples and
Alb Phillips, were suspected OF being
the guilty parties and were arrested
by Sheriff Houston and placed in jail
They were later released on bond.
Railroad detectives who have been
working on the case believe they are
the guilty parties.
1t is the opinion of the officers that
crime, which came near being very
serious, was the prank OF drunken
men.
This train carries the Atlanta-Tala-
hassee sleeper and always has heavy
passenger list. The train was detained
about 80 minutes.
