Work on Santa Fe Shops Will
Continue All Winter.
Foundations to Be Finished Be-
fore Cold Weather.
BEGIN HAULING STONE.
Temporary Track Laid to the
New Machine Shop.
Structural Steel Gang Will Soon
Be at Work.

It is the plan of the engineering de-
partment of the Santa Fe to so arrange
the work of building the new shop
buildings here that the work will pro-
coed without much interruption
throughout the winter.
Arrangements have been made for the
delivery of structural steel as fast as
the railway workmen can use it. 1t is
the building of the huge iron frames OF
the structures that will occupy the time
during the bad winter weather.
All the foundations must be laid be-
fore the cold weather begins this win
ter. 1t is for the purpose of getting this
work done that the Santa Fe engineers
are urging forward as fast as possible
all the work of removing the residences
from the land. 1t is thought that within
a week or so the land will be entirely
cleared.
A track is being laid across the land
to the place where the excavation for
the machine, tender and boiler shop is
in progress, Stone is to be hauled to the
spot as rapidly as possible, and every
thing made ready for the masons to be-
gin operations.
The foundati lions for the power house
and wheel house are also to be laid be-
fore cold weather begins.
The pattern house, which IS now IN
process of construction, will be ready
for occupancy within a short time
Work is being rushed on this job so
that the patterns, which are now stored
in the building where the superintenS-
emit of motive power is located, can be
moved into the new building
The work of building the foundations
will be done by the railroad company,
not by contract Railroad men will also
do the structural steel work. No more
for hp hrIi16
here in Topeka are likely to be let be-
fore next Snring.

CHANGING THE FURNITURE.
Will White Takes a Whirl at the
Santa Fe Movements.
TFrom the Emporia Gazette,

Railroads when they get a new super
begins cleaning house, the furniture
never goes back where it was Some
time ago the Santa Fe changed all the
divisions on the system. A big division
was taken from NickerSon and put at
Newton. A lot of men We're taken from
Emporia and put in Topeka and Kan
sas City. 1t was deemed wise to operate
divisions from the ends and to abandon
the middle stations. Now a new man
seems to have come along. All the fur
niture is on the front stOOp and in the
yard and Heaven only knows how it
will go back. Only this is sure. The
new man says divisions must be opera
ted from the middle and not from the
end. Poor old Newton is getting it
where Johnny wore his aSafoetida.
There is even said to be some show for
EmpOria in the new deal The morning
papers are said to contain an article to
that effect. However don't raise the
price of your town lot. The kitchen
furniture may go back in the bed room
and the piano may be moved into the
dining room. Wait till they get done
hanging the pictures before you think
the house is settled Here is the item
from the Kansas City Journal that has
set the Emporia people talking: "A ru-
NOR that the officials of the Santa F'e
railroad are arranging to have the di-
vision headquarters of the road remov-
ed to Emporia from Argentine, has been
tie alarm Since the closing down of
the snelter the city has been crippled
in business way, but if the alleged
plans of the railroad company are con-
summated Argentine will suffer severe

ing the first railroad in China He had
encountered many difficulties, both in
the transportation of passengers and of
freight, but in measure these had been
overcome. The best methods of both
American and European railways had
been followed by China in the conduct
of its railroads. but even yet the opera

ton The conduct of the freight traffic,
he said. had caused the most serious
difficulty in China-more difficulty, in

LAID ON THE TABLE.
Guthrie Depot Question Postponed Till
Next Year.

The plan which the Santa F'e has had
of building a new depot at Guthrie, Ok,
has been abandoned for this year. This
is done because the road officials seem
to think that Guthrie is growing so fast
it will need much bigger depot within
a year than it does now. The same
theory prevails in domestic economy
concerning trousers for ten year old
boy. He must wear the old ones as
long as possible.
1T is getting rather late in the year
to begin work on a new depot, said
Chief Engineer Storey today, land ow
ing to the fact that the work would lay
idle for several months, if commenced
now, we have decided to postpone build
ing the depot till next year. Then we
may find that a considerably larger one
is required than at present seems nee
