ENGINE AND TRAINMEN GO.
Transfer of Santa Fe Employees to Ar
gentine Effective.

The transfer of Santa Fe engine and
train men from Topeka to Argentine so
long expected, has been made, the men
selected leaving for there today.
Five engine crews were sent to Ar
gentine from Topeka. AS the four pool
crews, who would ordinarily have gone,
declined, it only remained to select the
crews from the extra board. The men
selected are as follows:
Engineers Ed Whitcomb Frank Fur
man, Ed Webb, H. D. Stillman and
Roger Williams. Firemen E. H. Ben
son, Fred Bartell, John Collins, Ed Cliff,
Ed Smith and Dave Beeler.
AS well as being a saving to the Santa
Fe, this plan enables the engineers and
firemen running on freight trains to
make more mileage than heretofore.

BURLINGTON CUTS TIME.
Fast Chicago-Denver Schedule to Be
Shortened.

Omaha, Neb., March 6.-Another
change in schedules on the Burlington
will go into effect next Sunday, the
present card having been adopted Feb
ruary 25. The object of the new sched-
ule is to cut down the time of the
trains between Denver and Chicago via
Omaha This is done on account of
the Union Pacif1c-Northwester cutting
the time schedule.
Under the new schedule the train
which leaves Chicago at 4 p. m. will
make the trip to Denver in 2712 hours
One hour is also clipped off the time
of the corresponding eastbound train.
= The Union Pacific has not announced
whether it will again shorten up its
time.
