NEW MERIT SYSTEM.
The santa Fe Road dOpts New sys-
tenn AS to Rewards or Punish
ment Of Employees.

The Santa Fe road is to adopt new
system in dealing with employees in the
operating department. On August ], the
slate will be wiped clean and everybody
take new start, and an individual &C.
count will be opened with each employe
in the superintendent's Office. Discipline
will be maintained by reprimand, book
suspension, or dismissal from the SER
vice, and suspension from duty with con-
sequent loss Of time will be discontinued.
Reprimands will be noted on the req
ords of employees who may receive the
same, but no reprimand or nominal sus-
pension will be noted against any indi-
vidual without notice to the person af-
fected, and an opportunity given for in.
vestiga.ion and defense. Suspensions,
though for certain number of days, will
be nominal. Instead of actual suspen-
sion, the employe at fault will be allowed
to continue at work. A charge will be
made on the record Of every case of
neglect of duty, violation of the rules OF
of good practice, accidents, improper
conduct, etc., resulting in discipline Of
an employe, with the penalty imposed, as
may be determined by the proper officer.
On the other hand credits will be given
on the record, and may also be bulletined
for notably excellent conduct, deeds Of
heroism and loyalty, good Judgment in
emergencies, etc. These special credits
will be given full consideration in con-
nection with any charges entered.
The new system also provides that GER
tain times Of good conduct will cancel
certain suspensions or reprimands. Huch
acts as disloyalty, dishonesty, intsmper-
ance, willful neglect, gross carelessness,
immortality, making false reports or state
ments, and others whereby the oompany's
property is endangered or destroyed, will
subject the offender to instant dismissal.

TO FRUIT GROW ERS.
A Suggestion from Secretary Miller,
Of the Bureau of Immigration, Re-
gardiDS Fruit Shipments.

Editor Santa Fe New Mexican.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, July 27.-The fruit
growers and shippers of New Mexico have
this year the best opportunity for max
ing money out of their crops that has
been afforded for several years past.
Fruit of all kinds is abundant in New
Mexico and the failure of the fruit crop
in the central western states causes a
great demand for our fruits. The prices
that can be obtained are good and will
suffice for long distance shipment. This
gives the New Mexico fruit man an OPP
portunity to not only do we'll with his
products but to acquaint these eastern
market places with the superior quality
of cur fruit and create demand for it in
future years. Our fruits are like our
vegetables, their flavor and sweetness are
so marked that they bring a higher price
wherever known. How are We to sue
coed in making them known9 We ship
and have shipped car loads of fruit to
Denver and other points, but l am sure
we have not received the credit that the
shipments merit. In fact other LOCAL..
ties have stolen our prizes because we
have not claimed them. We have not
marked them as coming from New Mex
loo, and the result has been that other
states or localities have and are still
silently assuming the reputation for fine
fruit and vegetables that belongs to US.
At the last meeting of the bureau of
immigration this subject was discussed
and it was suggested that the secretary
ask the assistance of the press of the ter
ritory in impressing on all shippers the
fact of the advantage that will inure to
the fruit industry and the territory in
general if they will see that all packages
and cars are plainly marked or labeled
30 that the buyer and consumer cannot
escape noticing the fact that these pro-
ductions come from New Mexico.
The bureau is also endeavoring to
facilitate the means of shipping select,
we'll packed and properly labeled fruit
and vegetables and hopes to succeed in
getting refrigerator cars for this pur-
pose.
you will find that the cost of printing the
words "New Mexico Fruit" and your
name as fruit dealer will be 80 low that
you can afford to have every wrapped
peach or apple properly labeled.
The bureau is having many inquiries
from commission men in the larger cities
concerning New Mexico products and
while we expect to see larger shipments
made this year than formerly we must
earnestly REQ nest that the shippers dig
tincty label the cars, the barrels, the
boxes, the baskets and the fruit itself
and this will establish a demand for our
productions in the future.

SOUNDING US
ON CHINA.

Know Our Attitude.
POLICY WELL DEFINED.
No Interest in the Territorial 'EX-
tension Going On.
TO GUARD AMERICAN INTERESTS

Washington, Dec. 25.-It is understood
that the authorities here have been un-
officially sounded as TO tho attitude of
the United States toward the far eastern
situation, with "A view To learning IL the
American interests in China were re-
garded as of sufficient importance to
warrant any active step by this govern
mont
From what sources the inquiries have
come is not disclosed. If from Great
Britain, IL must have come through Col
onel Hay, the American ambassador at
London. as the British officials here have
received no instructions as TO the Chinese
situation.
1t is we'll understood, however, that
Great Briatin would look with favor on
any active step by the United States
which would serve as a check for the ad-
vances of Germany and Russia.
The British interests in China are 20
times greater than those Of Germany,
Russia and the United States. and yet
with Germa ny and Russia firmly loc ated
on Chinese soil, Great Britain is left in "a
sort Of cul do sac.
1t Is known also that the Chinese au-
thorites would welcome "a movement by
the United States that this hes been com

nothing moIe as yet have not taken
official form, they have bean sufficient tn
gain pretty general understanding a. to
the attitude of this government. This,
in brief, is that the. United States has no
interest In the territorial extension now
going on in China that she will not Iaad

many and Russia have done; and that her

blerican interests in Chi ns.
Those American interests appear to be
much greater than is generally known.
There are the following American treaty
ports In China: Canton. Chez foo,

Pkhoi, Shanghai, Ashashi, Sow Chow,

the West river CfaDton, recently added.
AT each of these places there are Amerl-
can settlements and an American reseI-
walton, within which Americans may
own property and try their civil and
criminal cases before their own courts,
