New York, Aug. 2.—Horse cars of
most antiquated pattern which have been
running on Grand street for half a cen-
tury went out of commission at midnight.
They will be superseded by the under
ground trolley. The old horse car line
which passed through what was not
many years ago New York’s principal
retail district, connected the Des Brosses
street ferry, North river, with the Grand
street ferry, East river, and for years
have been packed to overflowing in rush
hours. Many drivers on the Grand street
cars have grown gray in the service. All
will be taught to handle the motors be-
fore the new cars are installed.

Galveston-Beaumont
& G. N. to Run in One Saturday and
Sunday—Adopt Suggestions.
Secretary Gardner of the Galveston
Business League has received a
from Mr. D. J. Price giving the data con-
cerning the large excursion which the
I. & G. N. will run Mito Galveston on next
Saturday and Sunday. The points cov-
ered by this excursion are San Antonio
to the west and Fort Worth to the north,
and all intermediate points on the I. & G.
N railway. The rate has been made just
one-half of one fare for the round trip,
with a limit of Monday night. It is ex-
pected that a very large crowd will come
to the Gulf shore at that time, according
to the reports which are being received
at present.
The regular meeting of the board of
directors of the Business League was held
last evening and the matter of the various
suggestions for the wellfare of the city
which were asked to be submitted were
passed upon. The suggestions that it was
thought best to try and adopt were re-
ferred to several committees with In-
structions to work up the practical part
of the plans provided. Little else beside
this was done, according to the statement
of the secretary.

Showers fell quite generally over the
Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys
and over the northeast. Over the middle
Missouri valley the rain was heavy.
Temperature changes have generally been

New York, Aug. 2.—In all probability
there will be, says the World today, a
national strike against the American
Bridge company. Should the strike be
called more than 50,000 men will be in-
volved.
The workers attribute the trouble to the
alleged employment of non-union men by
the Boston Bridge company. Frank
Buchanan, president of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, arrived in the city yesterday
and will make his headquarters here dur-
ing the controversy.
“It is very possible,” he said,

months ago two cjyil engineers from
Anthony, Kam.-, .visited Trinidad to look
over the groutfd preparatory to the build-
ing of a rallrpad between the two cities.
The company back qf the enterprise is
known as the -Kansas^-Medicine Bow and
Western Railroad company. It was gen-
erally believed at the time of the visit of
the engineers that the real backer of the
enterprise was the Rock Island. But
after the lapse of months in which noth-
ing more was heard about the enterprise,
a general feeling came about that it was
dead.
Such, however, Is not the case. It was
learned from a source of absolutely un-
questionable reliability tha| the company in the North

Mr. James A. Levine has earned the
ten dollars for sending in the largest
number of items of news in the Tribune
Item Contest.
Mr. Chas. P. Hopping will receive one
year’s subscription to the Galveston Tri-
bune for sending in the second largest
list of items.
Mr Levine sent in all told 299 items, 25
of which were thrown out. Mr. Hopping
submitted 257 of which 239 were accepted.
There were a number of other competi-
tors, but there being only two premiums,
it is not necessary to mention names or
give number of items submitted,
this much to say, however,
contestant intelligently complied with all
the conditions governing the contest and
manifested an interest in the work that
made he handling of the manuscripts
comparatively an easy task.
While the Tribune will regret the loss
of the two gentlemen named in the con-
test to follow, yet under the rules the
winners in the July Item Contest
barred from participation in future events
in this series.
When one can earn ten dollars in a
month by a few minutes work each day
it would seem that a much larger number
of persons would endeavor to secure the
money. It is not necessary that one pos-
sess any extraordinary ability or know-
ledge to compete for what the Tribune
offers; people from all classes of society
participated in furnishing readable mate-
rial.
There were one or two features in the
contest just closed.
July 8th entered one
found unavailable and,
couraged, dropped from the contest,
other correspondent filed one item on July
6th and another on July 10th, both of
which were accepted, then ceased sending
in any more—probably out of sheer
fatigue.
In another column will be found the
conditions governing these contests, and
a careful reading of these rules is invited
by those contemplating competing in the
August contest.
Fish Gazette.
Captain Ronald Amundsen, the hardy
Norwegian explorer who sailed from
Christiania on June 17, 1903, on the little
sloop Gjoa, is reported from Alaska to
have discovered the famous “northwest
passage” and reached the shores of the
Pacific. At this late date practically no
commercial value attaches to the discov-
ery, for the fabled wealth of Northern
Asia has been proven ‘a myth, but the re-
ported location of the north magnetic
pole may prove of definite value to geo-
graphical research,
for many years that the magnetic pole
lay somewhere 400 or 500 miles below the
earth’s surface, somewhere in the archi-
pelago north of North America, and that
it was not identical with the terrestrial
pole. In fact, many ships sailing within
the Arctic Circle have had their com-
passes point south, instead of north, and
in all explorations above the seventy-
eighth parallel the compass is of little or
no value, as an indicator of direction.
If, as reported, Captain Amundsen has.
discovered the exact location of this pole,
it means simply that he has sailed over
a spot on the earth’s surface where the
magnetic needle, instead of pointing north,
south, east or west, has turned on its
bearings and stood vertically, pointing to
the center of the earth.
“that a
I can do nothing
for a day or two except to wait for de-
velopments. Should the strike be ordered
it will have the assistance of the interna-
tional union and other labor organiza-
tions.”
A statement was made in behalf of the
American Bridge company, which says:
“We have not been officially informed
about the trouble in New Haven, but we
have the right to sublet our work, and
have no right to import conditions on the
sub-contractors further than a guarantee
that they must do the work properly. We
have an agreement with the unions and
employ only union men when we do the
work directly, but in sub-letting work
we .can only choose the lowest bidder, if
it is a responsible firm. If the union can
convince a sub-contractor that it is for
his benefit to employ only union men,
that is a question between the union and
him.”
is still working and working hard upon
the proposition, and that unless it meets
with unforeseen obstacles it is a sure go,
though it may be a year longer before
it gets out of the prospectus stage.
The road is not backed by the Rock
Island, but is up to the present an en-
tirely independent enterprise, its pro-
moters being people of Anthony, Bucklin
and other towns in
which the line will run.
that the company has already secured
options for a large portion of its right of
way, and that a number of counties of
southwestern Kansas have already voted
bonds toward the financing of the road
or have -agreed to do so, and that a con-
siderable quantity of stock has been sub-
scribed.
Railroad men say, furthermore, that
the plan looks to them like a good one.
First of all it will open up a very large
afea of western Kansas which is at pres-
ent without close railroad facilities.
It will perform the same service for
all of southeastern Colorado south of the
Arkansas river, together with the north-
eastern part of Oklahoma, which are at
present without any railroad facilities at
The whole of this district, while in
the arid region, is fast becoming very
productive under new agricultural
methods and is at the same time one of
the most important portions of the entire
west in wool and stock interests. Be-
sides this, the new road giv|s practically
an air line haul for coal from Colorado
Into western Kansas, the route being
much shorter than that of the Santa Fe,
and the Colorado coal is of such superior
quality as to be able to force the Kansas
coal out of the market.
At Anthony the proposed road has di-
rect connections with Rock Island, the
Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific and the
Orient. While the promoters of the new
road are going ahead with their enter-
prise independently at present, it would
seem likely that any one of these con-
nections except the Santa Fe will in the
end be likely to absorb it. This is par-
ticularly true of the Rock Island, much
more true now than when its name was
first used in connection with the new line.
If it be true—and confirmatory state-
ments now seem to have definitely estab-
lished that fact—that the St. Louis,
Rocky Mountain and Pacific from Des
Moines, N. M., to Raton, is a Rock Island
line, and that it is only a link in a line
ultimately to reach the coast, then such
a route as that , which the Kansas, Medi-
cine Bow and Western is obtaining is one
which the Rock Island could hardly over-
look.
The through passengers from the east
are debarred from passing through the
state of Louisiana and into Texas, thus
rendering the Southern Pacific between
New Orleans and Houston practically at
a standstill, in so far as passenger traf-
fic is concerned.
With the announcement that Texas had
quarantined against the state of Louis-
iana and from passenger traffic coming
through the state, the Southern Pacific
j officials were immediately called upon to
protect their round trip passengers who
have been spending the summer in east-
ern resorts and to curtail expenses by
discontinuing several of the regular
trains, which will be useless under the
present quarantine restrictions. It was
announced that the two trains, Nos. 5
and 6, were on the list for temporary
suspension, but that the situation had
not fully developed for their discontin-
uance. However, since the new compli-
cantions have arsien, it is announced that
they will be discontinued after today’s
i . .'C.LUi
run, thus cutting, down the Texas and
New Orleans schedule between Houston
and New Orleans to two trains daily, one
each way. Train No. 6 is the one which

The conditions now prevailing will not
' / . I Zi
permit passengers from the east enter-
ing Texas without remaining six days in
the detention camp, which fact will prob-
ably cause all who can to enter the state
by some other route.
However, there are many Southern Pa-
cific round trip passengers in the east,
and for this reason the local officials
have decided to put into operation
means of returning them to the state.
The plan adopted, which will go into
operation either today or tomorrow, is
as follows as to the Washington tourist
sleepers:
Via the Southern railway from Wash-
ington to Memphis. From Memphis to
Corsicana, Tex., the tracks of the Cotton
Belt will be used, and from Corsicana to-'
Houston the Houston & Texas Central.
At Houston the cars will be attached to
the regular Southern Pacific trains for
the west. This is the most convenient
plan which could be adopted, and will
not cause any great delay.
The following circular has been issued
from the general passenger office:
Owing- to the fact that the state of
Texas has quarantined against the entire
state of Louisiana, and passengers from
poins east of New Orleans holding
through tickets will be required to go
into detention camp for six days before
being allowed to enter Texas, the South-
ern Pacific has arranged with lines east
of New Orleans to take up the return
part of round-trip tickets sold to eastern
points via New Orleans and provide pas-
sengers who may want to return home
before the quarantine Is raised, with re-
turn tickets back to their starling point
via Memphis or St. Louis, shortest route
being used in each case. Under this ar-
rangement passengers holding tickets to
eastern points will apply to local agents
at destination of their ticket, who will

There is no seed of value to mankind
that will sprout so quickly and bear fruit
so soon as the seed of advertising, but to
accomplish the best results it must be
planted in fertile soil, and where it will
get plenty of the sunshine of publicity.
The time to sow is all the time, and the
harvest may be gathered the year ’round.
There is no more productive ground for
this kind of agriculture than the columns
of a good home newspaper. The proof?
The Tribune carries more advertising
every week day evening than any other
paper published in Galveston. Because
The Tribune reaches the homes of Gal-
veston.
F. S. Davidson, Late Lieut. U. S.
Army, Washington, D. C., care U. S.
Pension Office, writes;
“To my mind there is no remedy
for catarrh comparable to Peruna.
It not only strikes at the root of the
malady, but it tones and strengthens
the system in a truly wonderful1
way. That has been its history in
my case. I cheerfully and unhesi-
tatingly recommend it to those
afflicted as I have been.”—F. S.,
Davidson.
