at all other points on the lines will be
increased from 40 hours per week to 50
hours per week.
On the same date several hundred
men in the track and bridge and build
ing departments will be put to work on
the improvements authorized for the
present year by President Ripley,
amounting to fully $1,500,000.
The order increasing shop time and
authorizing the improvement work TAX
en- up, means that the Santa Fe COM
pany has recovered from the enormous
expense attendant on the burning out of
the Fairview tunnel, near Williams,
Ariz., last January. The tunnel expense
was responsible for the reduction being
made in the working time of the shops
two months ago and the order suspend
ing all work on improvements

be from a. m. to p m, Monday to
Friday inclusive, and from a. m. to
II noon Saturday The present time is
from a. m. to 5 p. m, five days
week.

means an increase of 81 per cent in the
pay roll of the mechanical department,
amounting to several thousand dollars.

and under direction of Assistant At

examined.
1t was mailed by a woman who gave
an address where an answer would
reach her and contained information in
regard to the Notifications of San Fran
cisco, where guns are located. etc. 1t
also described points lower down the
coast where Spanish vessels could land
troops, and said there were men who
would act as guides to attack San Fran
cisco and seize railroad trains. The let
ter will be transmitted to the war de-
partment for action. It is thought that
it may lead to an investigation as to
whether there are persons in that vicin-
ity unfriendly to the United States.

COUNTY CONVENTION
Of the Shawnee Co. Republicans to Be
Fixed Next Saturday.

The Republican county central COM
nitttee will meet Saturday to fix the
time for the county convention to elect
delegates to the state convention.
The fight will be between the fac
lions that want an early convention
and those who favor a late one. The
advocates of a late convention appear
to be in the majority. They favor
May 81, which is just two weeks before
the state convention The other fac
ton would prefer to have the conven-
ton early next month.
Another thing that will be consider
ed by the committee will be whether
the delegates to nominate county Off
GERS are to be elected at the same
time the others are chosen. The coun-
ty officers who are meeting with OPP
position for denomination want the
matter disposed of as soon as possible
and they therefore favor electing the
delegates at the same time the state
delegates are chosen
County Attorney Jetmore and Pro-
bate Judge 2Dolman are the two officers
who have a fight for denomination in
their way. They are naturally rather
anxious for an early convention so
that the opposition Will not have time
to crystalline.
