Best Paying Offices on Road Are
in Oklahoma.

During the past few months, the re-
ceipts OF Western Union telegraph Of
fees on lines of the Santa Fe proper.
west of Kansas City. have been making
a wonderful increase.
For August, it is stated that the re-
ceipts have been $4,000 higher than for
any previous single month in the rec
ords of the road
For July, the receipts were $4,000
higher than for July of 1900.
Every month this year. said Super
intendent of Telegraph c. G. Sholes,
has shown healthy increase over the
corresponding month Of previous years.
I attribute this to the generally pros
porous condition Of the country cover
ed by these lines. It may in part be
due to the opening of the new country
in Oklahoma"
The arrangement Of the Western I'm
ion and the Santa F'e in Kansas is such
that only in few larger towns has the
Western Union a separate office. In
most of the towns the Santa Fe and
the Western Union use the same office.
Reports of all receipts are made 20
Superintendent Sholes.
The best paying offices on the Santa
f'e proper are those between Arkansas
City and Purcell. There are only two
large offices in this line-Guthrie and
Oklahoma City'-but in proportion to the
outlay involved and the population
served, the Arkansas Purcell Of
fees hold the palm. This is probably
due to the big wheat crop in Okla

On the other hand, the Offices in Tex
as, on the Ell Paso route. do not make
a good showing. There is a falling off
recently of from $25 to $3.50 in almost all
of them. The reason for this decrease
is thought to be due to the crop fall
ures in that section.
The Santa Fe officials are reticent
about giving out figures in regard to
receipts from telegraph offices, and the
total amounts for the respective months
could not be ascertained
