supplement CT to be issued Saturday
by General Superintendent Resseguie-
The changes will become effective on
December 10, and will be of interest to
the people of independence, Winfield.
Wellington, and other points on the
Southern division
For some time the people living In
that section of the state have been COM
planning about the new time card which
was adopted by the Santa Fe on NO
vember 3. They claimed that they were
not getting as good service as they QlU
under the old system of running trains.
Division Supt. j. L. Barnes made GER
tain recommendations to General Supc.
Resseguie, and these recommendations
have been embodied in the supplement
which is now about to be published
1t was the intention to make the
changes effective on December ., sun
day, but it was found impossible to get
the supplements printed in time to cir
culate them.
The more important changes may be
summarized as follows:
The Southern Kansas passenger, No.
2oS. will be run through to Moline, in
stead of to Independence, and Will con-
meet with a new train, No. 213, which
has been put on to accommodate the
travel to Winfield and Wellington.
The mixed tram, No. 263, which has
been running from Chanute down on
the Independence branch to NiOtaze,
thence over the Bartlesville branch to
OwaSso, will after December 10 run di-
rect to Cedarva1e over the Independ-
ence branch
The way freight from Niotaze to
Cedarvale, known as No. 267, will run
from Niotaze to Owasso. over the Bar
tleSville branch, and there will be no
way freight between Niotaze and
Cedarvale.
