Santa Fe Sends a Corps Of Eng

To Survey For Grade Reductions
on New Mexico Division.
RATION TO LAS VEGAS.
Great Hills Will Be Cut Away
Between Two Points.
Active Work to Be Commenced
Soon on the ssCut OFF,"

"a corps of Santa Fe engineers has
been sent to New Mexico to make sur
veys for grade reductions along that
portion Of the New Mexico division be-
tween Ration and Las Vegas. This III
miles of track represents some of the
heaviest grades on the Santa F'e road
proper, and the cutting away Of the
foothills will mean greatly increased
transportation facilities.
The engineers now working on the
Emporia "cut off, between Holiday and
Emporia are making good progress, and
as soon as the equipment is received
by the company the grade reduction
work can be commenced. 1t will prob
ably be some time before active work
can be commenced on the New Mexico
division.
Two of the four steam shovels re-
Gently ordered by the Santa F'e have
arrived in this city. and will be for
warded as soon as the ballast cars are
received. The first consignment of the
order for forty cars has been started for
Topeka, and within the next two weeks
several hundred men will probably be
at work cutting away the hills on the

yer as the place at which the next ma
tional encampment VIII be held
The passenger travel over the lines
running into Denver would necessarily
be unusually large. Only four lines run
into Denver from the east and they
would probably be Obliged to carry in a
few days nearly the same number of
people that attended the Chicago en-
campment and who were distributed
over nearly two score of roads 1t may
be readily seen that the passenger equip
ment of the roads would be entirely in
adequate to accommodate the traffic
IF the eneampment is to be held in
Denver we may look to see all the shops
of the western roads working overtime
and using as many men as there is room
for,' said a prominent Rock Island Of
fetal yesterday. 1.-THE coaches which all
the shops combined could turn out. would
nearly be lost sight of after being dis
tributed. They would only be drop in
the bucket"
Equipment would have to be rented
from the eastern roads that did not have
the large business that the roads west of
Chicago would have.
A few years ago all roads had surplus
cars which could be rented by other
roads OF late however the passenger
traffic has grown wonderfully, and most
western roads have a hard time in get
ting together extra coaches enough to
handle the crowds for local excursions.

A SENSIBLE OFFICIAL
Interests Employees to Refrain From
Political Discussions.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 1-Supt. H.
B. Spencer, of the Southern railroad,
has issued a circular urging employees
of the road not to engage in political
discussions during the coming campaign
The circular is as follows:
In view of the coming presidential
election it is the desire of the manage
ment that our employees should refrain
as far as possible from political discus
sions, especially while on duty. 1t is
particularly desirable that trainmen do
not permit these discussions to prevent
them having sufficient amount of rest
at terminals Statistics show that dur
ing the presidential election years the
per cent. of accidents increases from
July to November. This is probably
caused by the men not paying closer
attention to the work, but permitting
their minds to be occupied by other
matters We are particularly anxious
this year to avoid accidents from this
cause. 1 ask, therefore, for your close
attention to your work during the
ueriOd.''

BIG ROADS MAY UNITE.
Indications Are That Transcontinental
Association Will Be Formed.

G1enwood Springs. Col, Sept. 1.-The
committee of seven appointed by the
meeting of railroad officials to draft a
form looking to the establishment of
transcontinental passenger association
have not been able to submit a report to
the main body as yet and at a late hour
were in session. They appeared twice
before the main body and required fur
Their time to deliberate. 1t is said that
there is no hitch in the decision of the
main question but that the committee
is trying to perfect details of a plan. 1t
is known that the following points have
been agreed to:
The organization will be independent
and in no way connected with any other
in existence; that the territory to be
covered will not extend beyond the Mis-
souri, river east The Santa Fe represen-
tative, Mr.. Nicholson, favored associat-
ing with some existing organization but
did not urge the point
Not the least doubt is expressed but
that a satisfactory arrangement can be
made with the two eastern passenger as
sociations so that there will be harmon
ious relations.
1t is thought that the action of the
committee as soon as reported will be
quickly ratified and that after ratifying
amendments to subcommittee another
meeting will be held at an early date.

OVER BEES AND PEACHES
New York Man Getting Evidence
Against His Brothers Honey
Makers.

Newburgh, KY, Sept. 1.-What broth
ers and sisters won't do when they go
to having" is not known, but the Utter
brothers of this vicinity are going at
least to the limit.
They live on ueighboring farms, and
are wealthy. w. H. Utter has about 1900
peach trees. The defendant, ]. W., is a
well known producer of honey.
The plaintiff alleges that his brothers
bees are damaging his fruit. He needed
evidence Rigging a corn pepper into a
trap, he caught bees on peach, and
pulled bees and peach from the tree. He
then placed them in box. When the
bees had RECALLED themselves they nat
urally look for a place of exit. In doing
this they crawl over a liberal sprinkling
of flour, and, of course, become covered.
When thoroughly coated they are re-
leased, and they usually make straight
for their hives. They appear like flock
of white millers, and are thus easily
traced in their homeward flight.
