Equipment of Cars With Safety
Devices Being Pushed.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Order
Cars to Rspair Tracks.
BUT SIX MONTHS MORE
At End of That Time All Equip
ment Must BE In Shape.
Foreign Cars Are Being Return
ed As Quickly as Possible.

An order has been issued by the San
ia F'e management directing division
superintendent to report all cars not
equipped with air brake appliances and
automatic couplers, and forward the
same to repair points as quickly as pos
sible. A similar order has been issued
by the management of the Rock Island.
The desire is to have all rolling stock
equipped with the safety devices by the
time the six months extension allowed
by the interstate commerce commits
sion expires.
At the Santa Fe shops in this city
and at the general shops of the Rock
Island in Horton a large proportion of
the repair work now being done consists
of the equipment of cars with brakes
and couplers. The majority of the cars
of both roads are already equipped in
accordance with the law, but the extra
ordinarily heavy traffic of the past sew
eral months made work in this dtrec-
ton, which would otherwise have been
done, impossible, and as a result there
is yet much to be done in this direction.
The use Of cars not equipped with safe
ty devices by roads engaged in inter
state business becomes a violation of
the law after the end of the six months
extension.
Orders have been issued by all roads
for the return of foreign cars with the
least possible delay. In this way respec-
tive roads are enabled to secure their
cars, and have the opportunity of equip

she had only Is cents-11 cents less than
enough to pay her fare to Eagle Chief.
After the train had left Noel siding the

sANTA-FE-FRIsoo DEAL
Reported Sale of the Branch From
Caney to Blackwell.

Independence, Kan, Jan. st is re-
ported here on good authority that a
deal has been contaminated in the last
few days wherein the Santa Fe sold to
the Frisco railroad company the right
of way which has been chartered from
Caney, this county, to Blackwell, Okla.
running directly southwest from Caney.
The consideration is said to be $40, coo.
It is the intention of the Frisco to COM
plete the line as soon as possible, secure
the right of way, and build a connect
ing link from Caney to it's main line at
Coffeyville. An effort will be made to
secure the line for this city.
This line was to have been a branch
of the Santa F'e road building from this
city south through the Indian Territory
and direct to Galveston. The road is
now completed to Collinsville, I. T., six
ty-five miles south of here, and work
is progressing as rapidly as possible.

PARALYSIS OF FRUIT MARKET.
It May Result From New Santa Fee

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 3.-A new

routings of all cars of citrus fruits
shipped from California points to
their destination went into effect yes
procedure takes the control of their
product from their hands. A practical
demonstration of the force of this new
arrangement was made at Riverside,
and to the discontinue of the CONSOLE
dated Fruit company, which offered
three cars of citrus fruits for shipment
to the east. The Southern Pacific
agent at Riverside refused to receive
the cars unless a special routing clause
that gives the shipper the right to
designate the route to meet an emer-
gency of the market was stricken from
the bill of consignment.
The agents for the shippers, Moulton
and Green, were informed that the rail-

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 3.-Regard-
ing the refusal of the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe railway companies to per-
NIT the shippers of citrus fruits to route
their product to eastern markets as the
producers see fit, a prominent local
railway official said that TrndnoarG
never did have a tariff from which

routes, but that the companies in
spirit of accommodation had permitted
the shippers to do this; that past eXper-
fences have shown the railroad COM
panies that the arrangement is incon-
venient and not equitable so long as the
carriers transport the freight safely be-
tween two points and that the present
order only gives the railroads the right
to carry the freight as they see fit and
in accordance with the contract. The
rates have not been changed.

Switchman Anderson Dies From In
juries Received While Coup
ling Cars

Newton, Jan. 3.-Switchman Geo. W.
Anderson of the Santa Fe died Tuesday
from the effects of injuries received
here in the yard Monday morning. 1t
appears that Anderson started to go
between two strings of cars, or was
attempting to make a coupling. He
slipped or stumbled in some manner,
and his arm caught between the couplers
just as the cars came together. The
arm was badly mashed. Anderson did
not recover consciousness sufficiently
after the accident to tell how he was
injured. He was married. The re-
mains will be taken to Kansas City for
interment.
J. NJ and ]. S. weigle have accepted
positions in the shop at Newton as ma
chinists. Both were formerly employed
here, and their many friends are glad
to see them back.

HAWAII RAILROAD BOOM.
Several Hundred Miles of New Road
Planned For Next Year.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 3.-R. E. Con-
don, n railroad contractor of Chicago,
arrived today from Honolulu. He brings
the news that a regular railroad boom
has struck Hawaii, and that the next
year will see more railroads built than
the islands now possess. Plans laid call
for the construction of 300 miles or
more. The largest part of this will be
built, he says. by Thomas L. Johnson
and Albert Johnson, of Cleveland, who
have formed a strong syndicate. Their
project includes several lines of electric
roads in Honolulu and elsewhere on the
island. Ferryboats will ply between
the termini and the various islands.
The work is to commence in February.
The Kohla and Hilo Railway COM
pany will soon let contracts for the
section of its electric road from Homo
lulu to Kahala. This road will be 100
miles long, and cost 1890. OO0 These
roads will greatly simplify the develop
ment of Hawaii by putting the great
sugar and coffee areas in direct COM
mundcation with the commercial CEN
tiers. over $1,OO0,o0O worth of ties and
lumber for these railroads will be ship
ped to Hawaii from Puget Sound next
year.
