FREE PASSES
Earrtnun Lines Encoorigt Farmers
to Attend Conjrtss.
NEARLY 1000 SENT OUT
Mr. Thornwell Fay TsUka of the
Work Being Done by
the Lines.
Local authorities who .have boon labor-
lnff cons tan tlx durlnv lh past several
weeks for the success of the Farmers
congress predict that the annual session
which opens at Collect today will be the
most aucccssful. measured In benefits
which will result to the agricultural in
t erect a of the State that has jret been
held- since the Inauguration of the eon-
sTreas several years ago. There are) sev-
eral conditions which as (actors con-
tribute to this opinion but an analysis of
the situation reveals no more potent In
fluence toward the successful consum-
mation of the plans of the promoters than
me extremely liberal attitude of various
railroads oDeraUnar within the borders
of the State.
Amoni the prominent railroads of the
State however there have been no more
anient advocates and supporters of the
congress taan the rtarrimtn tines. The
officials of these lines which taken to
gether constitute a greater mileage than
any otner system of railroad operating
In the Southwest have for many years
occupied a poeltion anent agricultural
matters peculiar because of their liber
ality as compared with the somewhat reti
cent attitude of the o menus 01 other
railroads.
This generous policy which has always
characterised the attitude of the Hnrrl-
man Interests In Texas toward the farm-
ers of the State has had much to do
with the success of the congress In pre-
vious years and Judging from the greater
activity of the officials this year In stim-
ulating Interest and providing ways and
means for farmers and producers of
freight to attend it ts natural to suppose
that the attendance at the congress this
year will be augmented proportionately.
Ever since the inauguration of the con-
gress the Harriraan lines have been pro-
viding free transportation to and. from
College where the congress is hela each
year for hundreds of influential farmers
In tributary territory. This bit of mis-
sionary work has been conducted In a
quiet unpretentious manner without any
attempt at show or display and it is gen-
erally the case that the recipient of the
favor is not aware that he is an object
of attention from the railroad until ne
receives a communication from an offi-
cial calling his attention to the impor-
tance of ttie assemblage and urging his
attendance to Insure which a compli-
mentary pass Is inclosed.
An Inquiry made by a Post representa-
tive yesterday from an authorltstlve
source elicited the Information that :n
anticipation of the session which opens
today the Harrtman lines In Texaa have
Issued approximately 1000 complimentary
passes to College and return In favor of
Texaa farmers most of whom are mem-
bers of farmers' institutes fruit and
truck gmwers' associations. It was ale .
learned that last year the same lines is-
sued over 500 free passes for the same
occasion. When It is called to mind that
the average attendance at the congress
rarely exceeds 1100 or 1200 the stupendous
Influence which the Harrtman lines exert
toward the success of the congress is ap-
parent. When approached by a Post representa-
tive yesterday Mr. T. Fay. executive head
of the Harriman lines in Texas was loath
to confirm the above facta for publica-
tion saying that the activity of the Inter-
ests which he represented in the premises
did not anticipate any free advertisement
or public demonstration of a commenda-
tory nature.
Mr. Fay said: "Yes the Harrtman lines
in Texas have issued something over P0)
free passes to College and return for
the use of farmers who will attend the
congress. It might be understood how-
ever that railroads as s rule are not
charitable institutions and I do not ex-
pect our action in the present instance to
be so construed. Computed on a mileage
basis of the regular S cents per mile as
authorized by law the transportation we
have Issued represents an immense ex-
penditure but for all that we expect to
receive from those who attend full value
with heavy interest some time In the not
far distant future.
"We expect those of our people who at-
tend the congress to be greatly benefited
thereby. We expect them to get some
Ideas which will make of them bet tar
farmers. We expect them to learn some-
thing that will make of them better and
Isrger producers of freight which we ex-
pect to haul and for which we expect io
receive revenue. Just At this point comes
our interest in the Farmers' congress.
Better farmers more farm products
more freight snd eventually more rev-
enue and thst at all seasons of the year
as a result of diversification explains In
a word our Interest in everything that
will prove beneficial to Texas farmers.
And we expect to continue in our efforts
In behalf of Texas agriculture. We want
it to assume a higher plane. We. want
the farmer to get a better grasp or what
to do and when and how to do lt. We
want him to know more ahaut his busi-
ness. .We want him to be prosperous act-l
grow -Ich because our revenue will
increased In proportion to that prosper-
ity.". IS AFTER QyiCKER TIME.
Katy Improving Track to Secure
Faster St. Louis Schedule.
The Katy has commenced sctlve opera-
tions along certain portions of Its line to
make such Improvements in the tracks
ss will enable the trains o make better
time from here to St. Louis. The particu-
lar part of the line at which these opera-
tions are being made la that lying be-
tween Paola and Parsons. Kan. where a
large force of men Is already at work
ballasting the roadbed so that the apeed
of the trains may be materially Increased
over that section of the tracks. The
Katy uses the Frisco tracks from PaoU
to Kansas City and Is able to make good
time all the way from Texaa to St. I -on la
except over the stretch of track named
between Paola and Persons.
The Katy had Intfnded to establish pas-
senger service to the World's Fair over
Its old freight line from Paola. but In

Right Food Makes Young of the Aged.
When one is lively and a hard worker
at this sge there Is something interesting
to tell and the Princeton lady who has
pushed this mark explains how her won-
derful health la due to the food she eats
I am past seventy years of age and up
to five years ago suffered terribly with
chronic stomach trouble heart disease
and was generally aa weak as you will
find sick old women of so. At that time
I began the ujv of Onipf-Nuu food and
from the very first lt bgan to build me
up. Soon I came to a condition of perfect
health because I can always digest this
food and It la full of nourishment. All my
heart and stomach trouhles are gone I
soon gained between IS and 20 pounds
snd have nevr lost It. I can now do a
hard day's work.
"Certainly thla isthe greatest food I
ever struck. It gave me strength and
ambition and courage and I try to do all
the good I can telling people what it his
done for me. Many of my neighxrs use
It and are doing fine.

ANOTHER TEXAS SCHETTE
Huntington Hawley and Morse
Said to Be Interested in
Texas Proposition. '.
NotwlthsUndlng ths silence of til

sistency that Huntington and Hawley
who recently resigned from the director-
ate of ths Southern Pacific will associate
with themselves Colonel S. P. B. Morse
lately of Sully Co. .In a . scheme to
build or develop some gigantic railroad
proposition In Texas and the Southwest.
It is pointed out by ths knowing one
that ths two first named have all the
necesary financial backing while the lat-
ter wilt furnish tha hi a ins for ths details
of the work.
It is claimed that the particular 'pl
that these gentlemen now have in view
includes. araog- other things the pur-1
chase of the Gulf and Interstate running
from Beaumont to Galveaton. A strip ol
Eoad ninety miles In extent will then be
ullt between Beaumont and Lufkin to
connect with the Cotton Belt at the lat-
ter place. It la further rlUmcd that tha
deal Includes the purchase of the Beau-
mont and Sour Lake and the St. Louis
