The necessity for q semaphore at the
smelter has long been felt, and some
time ago Assistant Superintendent G..
E. Ayers appealed to Superintendent
Hurley to have semaphOre placed at
the smelter so as to allow the switch
engine to work between here and the
smelter without orders. Mr.. Hurley
stated the case to the officials at TOpe-
ka and after time he received orders
to go ahead with the work. Several
days ago a car load of signal material
arrived at the smelter and following
this came a gang OF experienced work.
men and the construction of soma
phore was commenced under the able
guidance of Foreman Hobson.
For some reason or other the crew
has been called to Emporia. Kansas.
and the work is not more than half
completed.
Assistant Superintendent Ayres was
in the city yesterday and when ap-
preached on the subject he said that
he could not account for them being
called away. He said that the soma
phore would greatly facilitate matters,
as under the present condition the
switch engine must receive orders be-
fore it can leave the Ell Paso yards for
the smelter. with the semaphore, -
said Mr.. Ayres, 1.-THE switch engine
would need no orders for, If train was

new signal will be completed in the
near future.

MEDALS TO BE DISTRIBUTED.
The 6. II. Inspection Party Will
Present Medals TosThose Having
Their Departments In The Best
Condition.


There is a great deal of talk at pres
emit along the line of G. 81. concerning
the condition of the various depart
ments. Medals are to be given out and,
naturally, all Of the bosses would
like to have the neatest department,
not alone for the sake of securing q
medal, but for the sake of knowing
that they accomplished all they under
took. Then, too, the men who receive
medals are not entirelly forgotten by
the officials.
Last fall when the party went over
the line the roundhouse at San AntO-
MO was awarded the prize for being
the neatest and cleanest and general
rejoicing followed among the en-
ployes of that establishment. Division
Superintendent Martin of this city
was awarded prize for the neatness
of his office and so on the tokens of
appreciation were distributed until all
the WORTHLESS along the line OF the G.
FL. & s. A. had be N supplied.
Toe inspection party is expected to
arrive here the last OF next ok and
il Is safe to say that sume III Lle medals
will b, left on this end of the line.
When last they reached here the yards
were being raised and the round house
was not completed and everything was
p cetty we'll torn up, but such Is not the
case this time. The painters have been
here and polished the buildings and q
great deal of improvement has been
made.
The big G. H flag will be floating
from the flag pole and things will be
generally frightened up when the

"On this particular night some of
the boys had business in the yards and
they noticed familiar form appear
under the glare of the electric lights

got their heads together and concluded
that the form was none other then the

a break for the shops and when once
