Santa Fe Will Concentrate
Heavy Shop Work Here.
Only Light Repairs to Be Made
at Other Shop Points.
MR.. RIPLEY TALKS.
Tells Ottawa Commercial Club
Committee of the Plan.
New Policy Responsible For Re-
duction in Shop Forces.
MIR. RIPLEY TALKS.

Not long ago the Santa F'e made a
reduction in the force of workmen at
the shops in Ottawa as a result OF
sending all the heavy shop work to the
general shops in Topeka Last week
a committee from the Ottawa CONNER
ciaI club went to Chicago TO see Presl-
dent Ripley and Vice President Barr
about the matter
Mr. Ripley informed the committee
that the management had decided TO
concentrate all heavy repair work at
the general shops here. This new poiicy
he outlined in the following signed
statement TO the committee:
Gentlemen --Referring 10 our inter
view this morning, in regard TO the
status of the Ottawa shops, this IS 10
confirm my statement to you, at that
time, to the effect that our policy IS 10
concentrate certain heavy repairs at
the larger shops in the state, and that
this policy accounts for such small re-
auctions as have been made at Ottawa
1t is not the intention to remove the
shops, or TO otherwise affect their
standing.
so far as We can now see, the force
at Ottawa is likely TO remain substan-
TALLY as heretofore, except so far as II
may be slightly affected by the removal
of the class Of work above alluded
10. Yours truly, E P RIPLEY.

Increase Rate For Children.

Chicago, July 1S.-At its meeting
Thursday morning the executive COM
mittee of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION will consider a proposition to
establish a half-fare rate as the min
imum for children carried on account of
charity. AT present the western lines
grant a Quarter-fare rate to charity
subjects under u years of age. The
eastern lines have an unwritten rule
which makes the same provision. 1t is
said that only two or three OF the west
ern lines are not satisfied with the
quarter-fare basis. Among other mat
tiers to be considered at the meeting
will be military arrangements anti
scalping expenses, signature tickets and
a basis for certificate plan gatherings.

investigating the condition of the crop
and found that there was plenty OF
musty wheat, in fact, almost the entire
crop was musty. He accordingly sent a
cable accepting their proposition and
began to buy the grain grind it and
ship the -four to England. He bought
the wheat at a very low figure as it was
almost worthless to the farmers and as
he received a price within a few cents
OF that paid for good flour he made a
lot of money. When his contract was
stating they would take the same
amount at the same price but he found
that the musty wheat had been nearly
disposed Of and was Obliged to refuse
the new proposition. He did not know
what the firm wanted with -four made
from musty wheat, nor could ne imagine
what disposition they made of it. The
next year representative of the firm
came to this country and during his
trip through the south called on the
miller who asked him how they had
used the -four made from musty wheat
Why, I supposed you knew that said
the Englishman, we use it in stiffening
calico and cheap goods of the same
character. 1t answers our purpose as
well as good -four and saves US quite
q sum Of money. Poor flour makes as
good paste as good -four Damaged
flour, that is. flour that has been dam
aged after the making will not answer
the purpose so we always keep our eyes
open for poor wheat yields. If we can
not get poor -four we are obliged to use
a good grade and then 1t Is the cheap

NEW TANGLED NAMES.
Dog Population No Longer Answers
to Familiar Calls.

Taxes have been paid on ISL male and
female dogs this year. When the tax
collector collects dog tax he not only
takes the name of the owner but also
registers the name of the dog.
A glance over the register shows that
Jack is the most popular dog name,
there being 35 dogs that will come when
called that name. Dewey is the next
favored name, the naval hero having 20
namesakes among the dog population,
while Hobson only has one There are
three dogs named Trilby and not one of
them is a female Teddy is honored
three times, Funston twice, while Nc
Kinley, Bryan, Sampson. AguinaIdo
and KipIing must be content with only
one dog namesake apiece.
The old time dog names Of Rover,
Watch. Spot. Sport, Carlo Bruno,
Nero, Tiger and Tray seemed to be al
most totally ignored by the small boy
of today. for the names appear but few
times on the register.
