ROOMS FOR rRAzNMEN.
Santa Fe Improving Surroundings of
Emploves.

An improvement which will be of
much interest and substantial benefit
to many of the railroad men and espe-
cially those who are on the road ser
vice, is the new railroad mems quarters
recently built and opened for use a few
days ago at Argentine by the Santa
Fe.
This new department is situated near
the round house and is in many respects
similar to the quarters at the round
house here. In these quarters are found
wash rooms, lockers for the mems
clothes and valuables, reading room, in
structiOn room, and other features
which are helpful to the average rail-
road man.
Situated as the building is near to
the round house, it gives the engine and
trainmen a chance to clean up after
coming in from their run, and also pro-
vides a place where they may go to
spend an hour or so reading, writing or
studying the workings of the various
models and parts of machinery which
are placed there.

Company Will Not Build Another
Kansas City Freight Depot.
HAVE JUST MOVED IN
New Building Now Occupied
Meets All the Requirements.
Interesting Items Of q General
and Local Nature.

"a periodical revival of the rumor that
the Rock Island road is to build an
other freight depot in Kansas City in
the very near future is at present go
ing the rounds of the press. This rumor
is started every few months, notwith-
standing the fact that the Rock Island
has just completed and moved into one
of the finest and most complete freight
depots in the west, which is located at
the corner of Fourteenth and Wyoming
streets in Kansas City. The rumor was
probably started on account of the fact
that the Rock Island has bought some
additional land in the vicinity of their
new depot recently.
In conversation with NJ. A. Low, gen
eral attorney of the road, he said in
regard to this rumored new freight de-
pot, ''There is no truth in this rumor,
which has again been started with ref
erence to the building of a new Rock
Island freight depot in Kansas City,
and how it got started is a mystery, as
nothing has transpired which would
give rise to such a rumor.'

Dickson Engines

Engineer Sharp made fast run on
Thursday afternoon with train No. 6
on the Santa Fe. The train was more
than an hour late leaving Topeka, and
had to make up as much time as pos
sible on the way east. The run of Sc
miles from Topeka to Kansas City, in
Guiding two stops, was made in one
hour and ten minutes This is fast
time considering the heavy train. One
of the new Dickson locomotives, No.
S27, was pulling the train, and the fast
run made shows what may be expected
OF these locomotives in the future.
These locomotives were received from
the locomotive works but a short time

DIAMOND SHAPED STACK
It Is Still in Use on a Few Loco
mOfivaa

The recent placing of switch engine
No. $500, from Chicago, in the Santa
Fe shops for general overhauling, calls
attention to the fact that at the present
there are few engines equipped with the
diamond shaped smoke stack. No. 2300
has one of them and has a peculiar ap-
pearance compared with the other en-
gineS which all have straight stacks.
The bringing of this switch engine to
Topeka, where it will probably be put to
work in the yards here on account Of
being too light for the heavy work
which is encountered in the Chicago
yards, will make it the second engine at
work at Topeka which is equipped with
this diamond shaped stack These
stacks have practically gone out of use
on all first class railroads.
