of Denver and "between Omaha

to lmndling the locaUpasaonger

account for the quick delivery

The new cars arc on identi-

It is (hp purpose of. the Union
Paoilic toplace. the mo.tqr cars
in service as rapidly as possible
wherever there is any com
petition from trolley roads.
Estimates are being prepared
as to what it will require in the
way of these cars to supply hu
branch lines of the entire sys
tem, us this is the ultimate ob
ject -of the management. It is
'stated that the economy in hand-
llng in naatUbn to the lighter
roadbed required, will cause a
revolution in the branch-hue
business of all roads, and turn
many a losing branch line into
a paying portion of the system.
DISLIKE TRIAL METHODS
OregonLm.
Representatives of four large packing
companies have gone to Washington with
the imenlioft of making a protest to Presi
dent Roosevelt, against the manner :n
which they declare the investigation into
the beef industry is being conducted be
fore the Federal grand jury. The pro
test, it is said, will be made along the fol
lowing lines:
That packing company witnesses have
been browbeaten before the jury and
compelled to tell what they know; tint
questionable detective methods have been
used by the secret service men to secure
information for the Government.
That the wives of the packers have
been called before the grand jury to tes
tify against their husbands, who are out of
the city, and they have been forced to re
main constantly in Chicago for no appar
ent reason.
That the private mail of some of the
packers has fades into the hands ol the
Government wfeen the m&U had n'oUilng
to do with the beef investigation.
That the general treatment of the pack
ers ki Clucaga by the local Federal au
thorities Ihui been like that accorded by
the police toward a common criminal.

Only Successful Wheat Corner.
From the Newark News.
80 far as known -to 'date the
only really successful coiner in
wheat referred in script tires as
'corn" was. that by Joseph
when he presided over the des
tines of Egypt, btit it will be
recalled that ho hnd more than
human aid in estimating the
size of forthcoming harvests.
When domestic wheat crops
were much smaller oud facili
ties for transporting and stor
ing them at distributing points
were much less eflicient, per
haps 30 years ago,, there were
several so-c a 1 1 ed" successful
minor corners in wheat and
corn, but the only successful
corner in wheat within 20 years
was that engineered by Hutph
inson at' Chicago in 1888, when
he put the price up to 82 a bush
el, and made the shorts settle at
that. Records of similar at
tempts include Kegne's loss of
$2,000,000 in wheat in 1879,
Ilandy's similar loss of $1,600,
000 in 1881, Harper's dropping
$4,000,000 on the cereal in 1887
and young Leiter's parting from
$7,000,000 in his attempted.
wheat corner of 1808. In addi
tion to these there were failures
to corner lard by . IcGeoch in
1883 and Cudhahy in 1803, in
which each lost, it was said
about $2,000,000, and. Deacon
White's memorable corner in
corn in 1802, in which he lost
$1,000,000, which he sub
sequently paid with interest.

STRICKEN BY A TORNADO
Hundreds nrc Rendered Homeless--Hi'
100 Are Dead.
SNYDER, Okla., May ll.-At mid
night oil criilmutoH of the number of
Ihtioii'h killed by last night's toi undo
exceeded 100 and lfiO persnus were In
jured, more than 40 seriously.
Nltifcty-llve are known tobodnd,
cfveral mo missing and a number of
the wounded aru lu critical condition.
Tho havoc wrought by the tornado
Is complete. Out of a town of 1000
people not more than a score of houses
are Intact, wuile two-thirds of the
l.ulldlngs are totally wrecked.
Tho storm formed south, of Olustco,
near tlie Texas line, and took a north-ctiflU-rly
course through a well-settled
flection. At 8 o'nlo k it was observed
by the people of Snyder, but the usual
fiiuuul-sbaped formation wus lacking,
and, though the rnnr was plainly heard
for sometime before the storm broke,
many with of tho opinion thai It was
u hull storm. Within a few minutes
the sky became suddenly dark arid ft
terrific downpour of rain began, last
ing for Beveral minutes, when It stop
ped as suddenly as it had'eornmenced.
A few moments of omlnious calm fol
lowed, aud then the tornado 'struck,
tearing buildings to pieces as though
they were made df -paper. Many peo
ple who hud thought to take advautage
of the calm to seek refuge In cellars
were caught in tbe streets between
buildings, where some were lifted high
In tbe air and dashed to the ground as
thoogb hurled from a catapult, while
others were struck by flyluc debrisand
crushed almost beyond .recognition.
Those whp reoralned In their bouses,
except iu a few blocks in the south
eastern corner of the town, fared no
better Tbe frame structures col
lapsed like eggshells, burying occu
pants uuder tbe debris, Jkil ling, crash
ing and maiming.
Six of the eight hotels were torn to
pieces, burying mauy In tiro 'wV&kage.
North of tbe railroad traok) where
many cottages stood, not one is left,
und the wreckage ia mostly carried
away. ?
Washington" statistics
Neighbor State Issues Book Giving
Its Industrial Output.
Basing the estimate on last
year's yield, the probable 1905
wheat crop for "Washington is
given in tlie forthcoming book
at 35,000,000 bushels, valued at
present prices at $30,000,000.
The Volume gives the annual
output of 35 miles in the state at
3,000,000, tons, with 6000 men
employed.
The lumber output is given at
1,325,000000 feet for 1904-,
5,750,000,000 shingles and 19S
000,000 laths manufactured-.
It is estimated that lOO.tiOO men
are employed in the industry
in all its branlfihfes with a wage
earning powr. ttf tGO.tfOO.OOO

?,5lX),Wd pottml of butter and
i;G?llWb pounds til cheese,
which is acknowledged to be.
less than half the total amount
of tn'Cse 'commodities consumed
