CONNECT WITH SANTA FEE.
Short Line Building Tracks at Colo
RADIO Springs.

Colorado Springs, Oct. 24.-The Short
Line viii make connections with the
Santa F'e and Colorado Southern in this
city by a system of sidetracks, which
it has been decided to build very soon-
This will be according to the original
plan of the Short Line, it having Sc
cured a franchise for the construction
of this track a year and a half ago.
1t is given out that the construction
of this spur connecting the Short Line
with the Santa Fe in the local yards
does not mean that the Short Lines
traffic arrangements with the Denver &
Rio Grande have been annulled. The
Denver & Rio Grande will continue to
do business with the Short Line as
heretofore, as the relations of the two
roads have been very satisfactory. The
story published by a Denver paper to
the effect that the Short Line was max
ing new arrangements for the handling
of all its freight and passenger business
al this point is not given credence local
ly, and there is no good reason to be-
be materially affected by the building
of a Sidetrack from the Short Line to
the Santa Fee Both roads have been
exchanging freight business for some
time, but it has been inconvenient to
make the transfer of cars. For this
reason a spur will be built. running I'M
der the Denver & Rio Grande tracks
near the coal chutes in the south end
of town and thence east, connecting
with the Santa Fe-
President Ripley and Vice President
Morton of the Santa Fe were in the
city for a few minutes last week, and
were met at the station by President
Howbert and Traffic Manager Henry of
the Short Line. This conference, how
ever. was of a social nature, but no
doubt the building of the spur was dis
cussed. and it has since been decided
to build it

Resigns Foremanship of Santa Fe
Machine Shop.

I c. Newmarch, foreman of the Santa
F'e machine shop, has resigned effective
November l. For about two months he
ing new engines which were being built
at the Baldwin Locomotive works, and
he will go to Raleigh, N c., to take the
position of foreman for the SeabOard
Air Line at that place.
Mr. Newmarch came here from a Ca
madam road last spring. He is regard
ed as a man of excellent Judgment
along mechanical lines and it was for
this reason that he was selected to look
after the interests of the company in
Philadelphia while the new locomotives
were being constructed. He came here
during the time that Third Vice Presi-
Machinery Sanderson and General Shop
Foreman Hickey were connected with
the road, and naturally the occasion
was not the most suspicious. Barr,
SanderSon and Hickey are already with
the Seaboard Air Line.
William Barnes, who has been acting
as foreman of the N achine shop during
his absence. is expected to continue in
that capacity He is an old employee of
the company at this place and has filed
the place acceptably.
The resignation of Mr.. Newnarch
was foreshadowed in the State Journal
about two months ago. AT that time
Mr.. Newmarch himself admitted that
he rescinded the action and soon after
ward went east He and his family
have been there since and it is proba-
Bile that he had an understanding to
withhold the resignation until the work
on the locomotives was completed.

thies and, above all, his cleanliness and
purity and truth. he will be glad to be
an adopted son of Yale"
President Roosevelt advanced. bowed
profoundly, and tried to speak Again
the audience cheered. and it was fully
a minute before he was allowed to pro-
coed.
He said: President Hadley: have
never yet worked at a task worth doing
that I did not find myself working
shoulder to shoulder with some son OF
Yale. 1 have never yet been in a strug-
gle for righteousness and decency that
there were not men of Yale to aid me
and give me strength and courage.
las we walked hither this morning,
we passed by a gateway which was
raised to the memory of young Yale
lad who was hurt to death beside me
as he and a great many others like us
marched against the gun fire of the
heights, and with those memories quick
in my mind. thank you from my heart
for the honor to me, and / thank you
doubly, for you planned to do me that
honor while 1 was yet private citizen"
The hymn America" was then sung
and the audience dispersed.

Following the banquet final recep-
ton, beginning at about o'clock was
given at the Farnam residence to a
limited number of invited guests.
At 10:45 the president re-entered his
carriage, and again escorted by the
mounted police was driven to the rail-
road yards.
On a side track in Water street, the
two cars. the Lucania for the president
and the Princeton. for others of the
party were standing guarded by
strong detail of police The president
reached the car at HOS. Surrounding
it beyond the lines drawn by the police
was a considerable crowd who cheered
the president as he mounted the car
steps. The president bowed low, lifted
his hat, waved it, and bowling again,
withdrew into his car. A few minutes
later a switch engine drew the two cars
northward through the yards to the
main line, where another locomotive
was attached. and as the train drew
away a party of Yale students gave the
college cheer for 1.-The president"
At 11:22 the train sped through union
station as a special for Washington via
Harlem and Jersey City, thirteen min
utes ahead of the night federal express.
The presidential special was given right
of way over the lines
PRESIDENT WAS LAST.
When the long list of degrees had
been finished, President Hadley adj
vanced a step or two and, with great
impressiveness, said:
There yet remains one name" In an
instant the great audience was stand
ing. The president of the United States
also arose and the theater rang with
cheers. The air was filed with waving
handkerchiefs and programmes.
Remarking that Yale had chosen for
the degree, this candidate before he be-
came president, President Hadley an
nounced that all Yale men were now
doubly honored by greeting the man and
the president as son of Yale.
Specially addressing President Roose-
welt, President Hadley spoke as fol-
lows:
Theodore Roosevelt, while you were
yet a private citizen we offered you
most worthily the degree of LII. d.
''Since in His providence it has pleased
God to give Theodore Roosevelt another
title, we give him on that account a

DEAL IS CLOSED.
Santa Fe Has Absorbed the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix.

It is announced from Chicago that the
Santa Fe has completed the deal for the
absolute control of the Santa Fe. Pres
colt & Phoenix road, which has long
been rumored. The Santa Fe has pur-
chased the capital stock, large blocks
of second mortgage bonds. and the con-
troll of the Phoenix road is now said to
be vested in the Santa Fe.
The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix is
225 miles long. 1t has IL locomotives
and over 100 cars. 1t extends from Ash
Fork, Ariz., on the Santa F'e main line,
through Prescott to Phoenix The
south end of the S. p. & p. is near the
end of ella valley, which has recently
been explored by Santa Fe officials and
engineers with a view to building
through it to a Pacific seaport in south
ern California. Such a line would ex
tend through an immensely rich and
undeveloped country. The purchase of
the S. P. & P. by the Santa F'e
strengthens the belief that some such
move is on foot.
The Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix is
through the midst of rich mining lands,
and taps the Salt river valley, which is
a fertile agricultural region.

Whatever else has been accomplished
in Cuba, the health of the island has
been wonderfully improved.
In Havana the change has been mag
ical; streets have been aSphalted,
sewers built, buildings whitewashed and
drug stores supplied with scientific, up
to-date preparations. The demand for
Paine's celery compound has grown to
enormous proportions.
The following statement from E. J.
Molina of the Havana custom house,
shows the standing Paines has already
secured among the most progressive,
energetic people of Havana

Dear Sirs-I take great pleasure in
stating that 1 have used your Paine 5

United States as well as in this city,
and find it to be of wonderfully re-
storative power, especially in this ener-
waiting climate.
Very truly yours,

Wichita, Kas-, Oct. 24.-The Wells,
Fargo Express company has completed
all arrangements for their new Office
building and freight house just south
of the Santa Fe depot. Work will be

Rumor Of a Rock Island Line
to st. Louis.
Said to Be the Next COnstruc-
tiOn TO Be Done.
PROGRESSIVE POLICY.
Rock Island Has Been Making
Rapid Strides.
st. Louis Has Long Been an
Objective Point.

The next piece of construction work
Jaid to be decided upon by the man
agement of the Rock Island railway IS
4 line between Kansas City and ST.
Louis. This line, plans for which are
being discussed. will be ready for use
during the worlds fair, to be held there
In 1908.
The Rock Island railway company is
pursuing an aggressive policy During
lhe past eighteen months several nun
bred miles of road have been completed
and men are constantly at work extend
Ing the lines. The new line to HI Paso
from Liberal, kas., will shorten lne
route to the City of Mexico and points
reached in that territory a matter OF
some 200 miles. The work of extending
the lines south in the Indian Territory
and Oklahoma has been no inconslder-
able part of the work The new INES
of the road in this territory were tIle
means of throwing an immense amount
of business to it during the opening
and the settlement of the government
land. The Rock Island has been one OF
the most progressive roads during It's
existence, and its earnings during the
past two years have perhaps been
larger on the amount of money invest
ed than that of any other road
The matter of increasing the road
wherever possible will not be sighted
would be of Incompatible value TO the
Rock Island 1t would give it a direct
line to a connecting point with some
of the larger eastern trunk lines that
do not touch Chicago. This would be
of direct value TO the road in the trans
fer of freight as well as passengers IN
both directions. In the eastern move
ment the products of Kansas and Colo
RADIO and the southern states touched
by the Rock Island would have an east
ern outlet at St Louis. and the haul
would be entirely over Rock Island
lines instead of the business being di-
vided with other lines The western
movement of manufactured goods
would of course be of equal advantage
and value to the Rock Island
Another and important reason for the
construction of the line is the fact that
St. Louis is an admirable terminal from
the passenger standpoint Then again,
the worlds fair that is to be held there
in 1908 will furnish business for all the
roads in no uncertain quantities. At
that time the advantage of line be-
tween Kansas City and St. Louis. if it
were not in existence, would be keenly

NO HANDSHAKING.
Old Custom Was Omitted at
Yale Reception to Roosevelt.

New Haven, Oct 24.-The final off
cial function of the Yale bicentennial
began at O'Clock last evening. The
affair was scheduled as a farewell re-
ception by President and Mrs. Hadley.
but the presence of the president of the
United States who assisted President
and Mrs. Hadley in receiving lent a far
greater impressiveness to the occasion.
Although there was no public announce
ment that President Roosevelt would
be present rumor of his coming had
spread among the crowd and a big
squad of policemen had some difficulty
in restraining them at the entrance.
The reception was held in the great
dining hall or commons, owned by the
university corporation. The building is
one of the new bicen biennial structures.
President Roosevelt and Dr. and Mrs.
Hadley stood upon a small raised plat
form midway to one side of the hail.
Commander and Mrs COw1es and Pri-
waite Secretary Cortelyou stood to the
rear of the receiving party Close at
hand We're secret service officers, usherS
and policemen and those in charge of
the ceremonies. The purpose was to adj
nit only those wearing badges. These
numbered several thousand and a great
nun Der of the unlimited public manag
ed also to gain entrance
Particularly noticeable was the extreme
caution not only of the officers, but of
those having the affair in charge for
the adequate protection of the presi-
dent. The most unique and original
feature of the reception was the fact
that there was no handshaing. The
suggestion to eliminate this old time
custom originated with President and
Mrs Hadley and was readily adopted
by the president after consultation with
Secretary Cortelyou. Light refresh
