TiiE TOPEKA JOUKiSAL, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1905. VIIEATKUGIIT. Impression of Millers and Grain Men Out West. Two Hundred of Them in the MePherson-Barton Belt. TRIFLE DISAPPOINTED.

Found the Wheat Thin and Head of Only Medium Size. Looks Better West of Lamed Than to the Eastward. Oats and Corn Show Prospects for a Good Crop. Dodge City, June 12. Two hundred millers and grain men from many states arrived on the Santa Fe about noon Saturday on a special ttain of 11 cars, after traveling all morning through the wheat belt and making frequent stops between stations permit the travelers to go into the fields and inspect the wheat.

The counties traversed were Marion, Mc-rherson, Rice, Barton, Pawnee and Ford. These contain about one-sixth the wheat area of Kansas. The general impression of those who made the most careful examination was not favorable. Almost universally the wheat is thin and the head of only medium size. The prevailing impression was that the prospect is of half to three-quarters of a normal yield, ranging from 10 to 16 bushels an acre, with a.

majority of fields nearer the lower figure than the higher. West of Larned wheat looked better than east of that place. The corn shows a fair stand and growth Is generally well cultivated. oats are fair to good. West of Great Bend for about miles the wheat seemed to be ripening prematurely and is in urgent need of rain.

Some of this wheat will be cut this week, an earlier date than usual for harvest to begin in this section. The travelers are having- a fine time. The weather is cool, with a pood breeze blowing. Secretary Coburn joined the party in Topeka. The busiest man on the train is E.

W. Shields, who has become known as the Kansas City boomer. He is endeavoring to persuade the big Minneapolis millers who are on the train lliat their business demands theyshould build largre mills in Kansas City. The trains does not stop at many stations, but wherever an opportunity occurs telegrams go to Kansas City and Chicago expressing opinions of the wheat crop prospects. Eastern men who have never been west express astonishment at the magnitude of the wheat fields and the general attractive appearance and evidences of prosperity of the country.

This will not be determined until after the prison physician examines Bigelow and reports on his condition and Warden McClaughry has a talk with him. Bigelow's prison number is 4717.

Wells Will Be Depth of From 400 to 1,500 Feet. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Railroad Circles. Albuquerque, N. June 2. William Archer, supintendent of the water service of the Santa Fe system, was in Albuquerque for a little while on his way to Belen whence he will go out on the line of the cutoff to begin the work of developing a water supply for that portion of the line.

Most of the immediate prospecting for water will be close In to Belen, although it is the Intention to sink wells along the line to Willard, where it is believed an artesian flow will be encountered. The question of water is an important one on the new line and no time will be lost In finding just where the best supply can be had. Mr. Archer has lust let contracts for the Santa Fe for the drilling of fifteen wells, which will vary from 400 to 1,500 feet depth.

GIVE EMPLOYES DAY OF REST. As Much Sunday Work as Possible Discontinued on St. Paul System. Sunday has been made a day of rest over the entire Rt. Paul railroad system, as far as such rule can be en forced without interfering with the absolute necessities of traffic.

The first step in this reform has been the discontinuance of Sunday excursions between certain points in the far west. Further curtailment of these extra trains will be made as rapidly as the people can be educated up to the new order of things. Freight crews, too, will benefit by the new rule. Heretofore Sunday has been regarded as a "clean-up" day in freight traffic. Hereafter all freight crews will be instructed to reach headquarters if possibla Saturday night, so that they may have Sunday for rest.

No crew will be kept out unless it Is necessary. Regular traffic will, of course, be attended to, but there will be no extra movement of trains with a view to clearing up any congestion which may arise on the lines. According to General Passenger Agent F. A. Miller, the company has been going out of the Sunday excursion business as fast as possible for the last three years.

"We have been cutting off Sunday-excursions here and there," he said, "and before long we will be in position to discontinue them altogether. We are doing this because we believe railroad employes are entitled to rest Sundays wherever it is possible to give It to them, and for the further reason that Sunday excursions rarely pay when the risk is taken into account." iAX ADVISORY BOARD.

No Action Has Yet Been Taken by Counsel for Prosecution of Road. Washington, June 12. The dispatch from Cincinnati, received in this city to the effect that former Attorney General Harmon and Mr.

Frederick N. Judson of St. Louis had resigned as special counsel for the government in the Santa Fe case, was brought to the attention of Attorney General Moody. The attorney general showed some annoyance, but positively refused to either affirm or deny it or to discuss any phase of the Santa Fe cae. The position taken by the attorney general is accepted as confirmatory of the report.

It has long been an open secret here that the special counsel for the government and the attorney general have entertained a wide difference of opinion as to the course to be pursued. The fact that the report comes from Cincinnati, which is the home of Mr. Harmon, is taken to indicate its source and also its authenticity. Wrhile Mr. Harmon was attorney e-eneral of the United States the inter state commerce laws were, in effect, substantially as they now exist.

No one recalls any great activity on Tiis part in their enforcement. Since he has been selected as special counsel in the Santa Fe case it has been hinted that he has embraced an opportunity to play a little politics by recommending an extreme and radical line of action, and this has not met with the approval of the attorney general. In any event, the attorney general has taken the position that the formal action must necessarily be in his name and on his responsibility. He has therefore reserved to himself the decision as to the time and manner of procedure In the case. WThen action is taken he hopes to have it in such form that it will be a successful prosecution and neither a persecution nor a political play.
