FEEDING IN TRANSIT.
The Privilege Will Be Restored by
the Railroads.

Denver, May 24-The railroads run
ming from Colorado through Nebraska
and Kansas will, on Saturday, May %,
inaugurate two changes in their man
ner of handling freight which will prove
of great advantage to the shippers of
grain and live stock. The feeding in
transit privilege will be restored in
Kansas and Nebraska on that date
and in Colorado the reconsignment
privilege formerly allowed shippers of
grain will be put into force once more.
Several months ago both privileges
were cancelled by the roads on account
of alleged abuses on the part of ship
pers, but the repeated efforts that have
been made since that time to effect
restoration have at last proven success
full. The feeding in transit privilege
permits shippers of live stock to bill
their shipments through to their desti-
nation at the usual through rate, and
to stop off at some feeding point en-
route, remaining there if desirable for
six months. At the end of that time or
whenever the cattle are considered to
be in fit condition for marketing, the
shippers may start them again toward
their original destination, shipping them
over the remaining distance
without extra charge. For this privi-
lege a charge of $40 a car was made by
the roads.

Numerous Changes i'm the Santa
Fe's Mechanical Department.
First of the New Type of En-
gines Being Built.
FAME OF OUR SHOPS
Is Extending Among the East
ern Railroads.
Demand For Refrigerator Cars
is Increasing.

Several changes have taken place in
the mechanical department of the San
ia Fe during the last few weeks. Amos
Goodhue has been promoted from his
position at Strong City to take the place
of general foreman T. r. Underwood
who has been transferred and promoted
to the place of master mechanic of the
Santa Fe Pacific at Winslow, Ariz.
John Murphy of Newton has taken the
place of Amos Goodhue at Strong City.
George w. Smith, who was formerly
master mechanic of the eastern division
of the Santa Fe is now superintendent
of machinery on the S. F. P, and is
probably responsible for the promotion
of Mr.. Underwood who has held his
former position at Emporia for several
years and has proven himself a most
valuable man to the Santa Fe. John
w. Record, who has been in the Topeka
shops, has been promoted to the posi-
ton of general foreman of the shops of
the Santa Fe Pacific at Needles. Mr..
Record was formerly foreman of the
round house at Argentine before coming
to Topeka He has been one of the
most popular men in the shops and all
his associates are glad to hear OF the
deserved promotion.

The boiler of the new compound con-
solidation engine has been erected in
the boiler shops. This is the newest of
the Player engines and has an extension
of 10 feet on the front end which is five
feet over other engines. There is to
be two cylinders on each side, one high
and one low pressure and there will be
one in front of the other instead of one
above the other as in many cases. The
drivers are SO inches and there are four
pairs. This engine will be decidedly new
to the Santa Fe and is the first one ev-
