No Union Depot NOW.

The union depot scheme at Winfield,
Kan, has fallen through. The officials
Of the Santa F'e were wiling to go into
the scheme but the officials of both the
Missouri Pacific and St Louis & San
Francisco roads refused to enter into
any such agreement. Winfield viii now
have to be content with separate de-
pots until another union depot boom is
started and carried through. It is prob
able that a new depot on the cite Of the
present building viii be erected by the
Santa F'e early in the spring as the
present building is inadequate to ac-
commodate the business of that city.
The Southern Kansas division depot
will also be improved, the improvements
including a ladies' waiting room.
