sons why engines are always spoken of a
''she:" They wear jacket, apron,
shoes, hose and drag a train behind them;
they have lap, need guides, ride wheels,
will not turn out for pedestrians, and
sometimes foam and refuse to work, they
attract men, are sometimes very contrary
and it always takes a to manage
them

The extensive yards of the Santa Fe
Railway Company in Argentine al
most exclusively occupied with cars of
wheat it is impossible to move 1t was
estimated that there were twenty miles
of wheat cars there Saturday morning.
The trouble is said to be due to the in
ability of the Chicago division of the
road to handle the great inflow of wheat
from the various branch lines in Kansas.
The difficulty is not much from car
famine as it is due to the lack of motive
power to keep the lines clear. all the
other roads in Kansas are unable to
handle the wheat offered. All the eleva-
tors full and farmers are dumping
wheat i'll big piles the ground near
the railroad.
The Santa Fe ice house was totally
destroyed by fire Thursday morning, en-
falling a loss of SIC, 900 the building
and about So 900 on the contents. Prob
ably oue-half of the 400 tons of ice stor-
ed in the building at the time was saved,
or rather did not melt. The alarm was
turned in about O'Clock, and when first
discovered was but small blaze in one
of the ventilators on the roof. The fire
department responded promptly, but
were unable to render effective service
owing to a lack of sufficient amount of
hose, two lengths of hose being rendered
useless by bursting almost at the very
beginning. It would have taken at least
half a dozen streams to put a quietus on
the flames. It is not known yet
whet the ice house will be rebuilt on
the old site or not. Now would be a
good time TO agitate the subject of erect.
ing plant for the manufacture of ice.
The Arkansas Valley offers an inviting
field.-La Junta Tribune.
