The line as surveyed follows the
east line of Texas to Newton, and then
tarns west to Colmestteil, on the Trin-

la this way it penetrates a virgin for-

The construction of the line will
cont a jcood deal of money, as the

Timber men estimate that there is

a brtdgeman gets mixed up with an-
other department he usually proven
to be the victim, and that any evi-

bridgeman and clear another depart-
ment, Is gobbled up and treated as the
truth.
Most of this dissatisfaction regard'
ing the lack of a square deal Is with
the higher officials, who hand out the
discipline to the various departments.

No
Change Contemplated Regarding
Katy-Frisco Faet Mall.
O. M. Undsay, general agent of
mails for the Missouri, Kansas -and
Texas, who was in the city today, au-
thorizes the statement that reports to
the effcct that the Katy has been con
templating a change from the fast
mall arrangement with the Frisco have
no foundation. Mr. tindsay says that
the present arrangement with the Fris-
co for the handling of the south west-
era mail from 8t Louis is very sat
hfactory to the Katy and that several
high officials of the Poatotfice Depart
ment have also expressed themselves
as highly pleased.
CONGESTION GROWING WORSE.
Katy, Frisco and Central All But Tied
Up Locally.
The congestion on the Frisco, Hous-
ton and Texas Central and the Katy
seems to be growing worse daily. Ev-
ery effort la being made by the three
toads to get the blockade cleared, but
as other lines are in as bad, If not
worse, condition, It la bard to do any-
thing.
The Katy yards in Denison last
night were so blocked that for several
hours It was necessary to hold trains
outside the yard limits on the Dallas
division. This morning the Denison
yards were In better shape, but were
still crowded with cars to the limit.
There were over 700 cars today at the
Hay yards.
PENSION FUND INCREASED.
Pennsylvania Railroad is Liberal With
lt« Employes.
Having granted a ten per cent In-
crease In wages to active employes,
the Pennsylvania has gone further and
has raised the annual appropriation of
its pension fund for retired employee
from $300,000 to $600,000 a year.
There are now 1.M0 men on the pen-
sion roil. The average age at retire-
ment la ?1 years and 3 months, with
an average length of service of 34 years
and 2 months. Since 1*00 the pension
department has distributed >2,493.870.-
80. Of the pensioners. 1,000 have died
since going on the rolls.
The extreme age at which the men
are retired would be cause for com-
ment were It not for the fact that In
accepting employment with the Penn-
sylvania It is generally permanent.
The Pennsylvania believes that the
worst use a man can be put to is to
discharge htm, and if possible em-
ployes are retained in the service.

t
AKE LAW OBNOXIOUS.
Made Against Railroads by
Many Patrons.
Members of the Interstate commerce
commission believe that the railroads
are making a systematic effort to
moke the Hepburn bill obnoxious to
the public. Many of the roads are im
posing new and sometime^ harsh reg
ulatlons which affect patrons and
many little conveniences are being
cut off. According to the commis-
sioners many of the new regulations
are not required by the new law, but
are being mode on pretense of living
strictly up to the law.
This spring many roads declined to
make the uaal merchants' excursion
rates, giving as a reason that the rate
law prevented them. The Interstate
commerce commission declares this la
untrue.
The commission Is receiving many
letters asking if certain regulations
put in effect by the roads are required
by law. Investigation has prSved that
only a small portion of them can be
credited to the Hepburn bill.
CAN ATTEND CONVENTIONS.
Ruling on Matter of Transportation
for Employes.
Denison members of tho Air Brake
Association have received letters from
headquarters stating that tho Hepburn
bill drtes not prohibit the railroads
from Issuing transportation to the em-
ployes who desire to attend the annual
convention which will be held in Co-
lumbus, Ohio, beginning May 14.
Upon the refusal of tho railroads to
issue transportation to the members,
on the ground that the law prohibited
it. F. M. Nellls, secretary of the asso-
ciation. addressed a letter to the Inter-
state commerce commission, setting
forth the, situation.
The reply from the commission was
to the effect t^iat the railroads were
in error and co^ld give tho transports-''
tlon. if the men were employed on the
roads. The commission also highly
praised the work of the Air Brake As-
sociation and the wish was expressed
that there might be a large attendance
at the convention.
