Railroad Business in Packing
District Breaks Record.
SWITCH ROOM NEEDED
10 Order to Alleviate COnges-
tiOn of Business Streets.
SWITCH ROOM NEEDED

The increase Of the business of the
railroads Of TINS city is not only a
surprise 10 the people Of Wichita, but
to the railroad men whose business it is
TO manage this large traffic. The rail-
roads have become cramped for switch
room and already there is talk among
the business mer. Of the city that the
roads ought to seizure grounds for larger
switch yards on the outskirts Of the
city, where they would not blockade the
streets upon whicl, there is a constant
stream OF people and vehicles.
The business in the stock yards and
packing house sec1ion Of this city has
grown to huge proportion and more
men has TO be employed 10 do the work
The roads have a joint station south
Of the stock yards and packing houses
and J, r Longmire is the agent for all
the roads. His business increase until
ne and his active clerk, Fred Chain
found themselves with more than they
Dould do, ana another clerk has been or
aered to their assistance.
Mr. Longnire makes report Of the bus
mess OF his station to Superintendent
Webb OF the Missouri Pacific. who has
been designated as superintendent Of the
Joint business of all the roads at that
section OF the city. These reports show
q marvellous growth of business that
is surprising TO the railroad companies.
1t is tonnage that counts with the rail-
roads and some OF the officers OF the
roads ia this c-.y held up their hands
ID establishment the other day when 8lr
Longmlres report Tor the months of
March and April showed an increase OF
tonnage OF 25S382N pounds over the same
months of last year.
one prominent ranroaad man said yes
terd.ay that this was the greatest in
crease Of business then he had ever
known in his railroad experience. He
said the whole business Of the roads in
this city was increasing but in less
proporuo on. rhis he said was only the
bushes done at their joint station on
the outsl 1rts on the city and the increase
for sixty days he considered very re-
markable. lie said the increase at the
Joint station equaled about six hundred
car loads and they would make a train,
with the engines 10 haul them, nearly
five mues long. lie thought the build
ing at Dolds' and Cudahys' and Wat
sons had helped this increase. He con
sidered such an increase beyond the be-
lief Of reasonable people unless some
explanation were given. Re said 10
leave out this building material and then
the increase world be so large that no
body except the reslroad men would be
lieve it.

which could be made to cover all expenses
at a pinch. Ii is the wish of those con-
Quoting the expedition. however. to have
the team go abroad in fitting style and
with money to cover every expense. As
it took so short a time to raise the money
already on hand, the balance may be
looked for before the crew sails on June 8
Some idea Of the enthusiasm with which
the plans for the trip have been sent
along may be gathered from the fact that
all details of transportation are practical
~ arranged. The party of fourteen, con-
sisting of Coach Ellis Ward. the eight,
two substitutes. coxswain. the manager,
and man to look after the boats. have
been booked by the steamer Waesland.
From the agents. permission was OBJ
tanned to spike the rowing machines ON
the deck, so that on the trip over the
crew may have regular exercise.
