FOURTEEN READINa ROOMS.
Santa Fe Now Has More Than
10000 Books circulating.

There are now fourteen railroad
reading rooms on the Santa Fe sys-
tenn. Seven Of these are located on the
A T. & s. F. and seven on the lines
west OF Albuquerque. The privileges
Of these reading rooms consist of all
the latest books, all the leading peri
odicals of the country. baths, games of
all kinds, and lectures on scientific and
social subjects by the eminent edu-
Gators of the day-lectures on astron-
omy. chemistry, geology, physiology.
sociology. and kindred topics. All
these privileges are absolutely free to
all employees and their families and the
community in the smaller towns has
always been invited and welcomed.
The reading rooms have usually been
too small to accommodate the attend
ance, so that in many cases opera
houses have been rented
More than 10000 books are In cfrcu-
lation on the Santa F'e system. About
40 per cent. Of these are fiction, rs per
cent are historical. 10 per cent. are
biographical, 10 per cent. technical, and
the rest general The families Of the
men have free use of the books and
periodicals. Any employe has the priv
ilege of ordering any book he may de-
sire to read On the fairest estimate
at the points where these reading
rooms are located 30 per cent. of the
employees use them.

NO FREE PASSES.
Railroads Leading to Buffalo Stop
Giving Transportation.

Chicago. Aug. What is considered
to be an important move toward the
adjustment of free transportation has
been inaugurated by officials of lines
centering at Chicago. Owing to the ex-
ira heavy passenger traffic prevailing
at present it has become necessary, the
officials say, to prohibit the issuance
of free-trip passes of all descriptions,
until the close of the Pan-American
exposition in October.
These orders are sweeping and pro-
hibtt passes to railroad employees OF
other lines, steamship agents, mer-
chants and others who have been ac-
customed to obtain them on applica-
ton.
The president Of one OF the big sys-
TENS operating between New York and
Buffalo has issued a long circular adj
dressed to officers Of other railroads,
requesting them not to ask for any
passes during the present season, on
account of the extra heavy business to
and from the Pan-American city and
other points.
In addition to being a business docu-
ment, the circular is a bit humorous,
as it says that the great demand for
passes has forced the company to at
tach extra cars to accommodate the
dead heads" and that if the rush con-
tinues special trains will have to be
ticket holders.
These orders, it is said. will even bar
coupon ticket agents from obtaining
free transportation for themselves and
their families
Several Of the lines running out of
Chicago have put in limited trains on
which passes are not accepted, and it
line so strongly on free transportation
as the other roads.

people here and in the east that they
can get cool sea breezes just as well
at the Pacific as at the Atlantic coast;
that the beauties of California are as

California shows that the people of the
country are beginning to appreciate
the opportunities which California
offers for a summer outing"

SAVING ON FUEL.
Why the Southern Pacific Is substi-
tutine Oil For Coal

tuting Oil For Coal
One of the vital weaknesses of the
Southern Paciic's operations is the
high cost of fuel, says the st. Louis
Republic. The company is at a. great
disadvantage as compared with the
Atchison, for example, and if the
former could secure it's fuel equally
cheap 1t would mean a substantial div
idend on Southern Pacific stock
The discovery of oil in paying guam
titles in southern California and Texas
was watched with interest by South
ern Pacific officials and careful obser-
walton convinced them that enough oil
could be obtained and at a low cost to
justify the general substitution of oil
for coal on many divisions The late
President Huntington had used oil on
many engines in California and found
it cheaper than coal before the former
was discovered in large quantities.
Since the recent strikes" the price
of oil has tumbled to such a basis that
an official OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany estimates that there will be u
saving of at least one-third in fuel
where the substitution is made. The
economy may be still greater. The
cost of changing the fire boxes and
certain other parts of the engines viii
not be large
In addition to the substitution of oil
for coal. the company will make large
expenditures for repla cling bridges
along the main divisions and in laying
heavier rails. The rails taken up will
not be wasted, but will be put down
on less important divisions.
