rail saw of list kind on the system. The
principal difference between it and the

that the machine will be station

ing moved about on car Steel rails that
have been in service a. good while become
battered and bent on the ends by the in
moving wheels. and they have to be taken
out and a piece of the end removed. 1t
is for this purpose that rail saw is de-
signed. The most interesting fact about
this machine is that the saw proper is
nothing more than circular piece of
steel similar to an ordinary saw except
that it has teeth. 1t is not made of
unusually hard steel, either, but having
a square edge and running at very rapid
speed it soon eats its way through a piece
of railroad iron. Occasionally the edge
has to be dressed down but this is not
often The capacity of the machine now
being put up will be about 600 rails per
day. 1t will probably be delivered before
long

REssEGUIE's PROMISE.
Saws wichita viii Be Given Enlarged
Freight and Passenger Depots.

General Superintendent Resseguie of
the Santa Fe was in Wichita last Fri
day, and while there was interviewed
by a Beacon reporter. He said in speak
ing of improvements to be made at
Wichita:
1--WE are still figuring on the addition
to the freight house, the plans of which
are now in the possession OF Mr.. T1ce
do not know when work will COM
mence but probably in a short time
Our station here is rapidly outgrowing
its capacity and we find it must be en-
larged.'' How about a larger depot?''
he was asked. 'sWel, we have some
plans for an addition there ALSO In
fact the entire structure will be remodel
ed and changed about In the first place
the baggage room will be removed from
the main building and will probably
occupy portion of the new Wells-Far-
go office which is to be erected shortly.
Then the room now occupied by it will
be turned into a waiting room. The
ticket off 1e will be moved to the center
of the building and the present one oc-
cupied by the Harvey news stand. A
change will also be made in the engine
room and an excavation will be made
for the installation of the engine under
ground as where it is now, it takes up
too much room. The tracks in this
vicinity seem to be in first rate condi-
ton and I think the present mileage Is
equal to the travel. There will be moth
ing done with them at present
