HANDLING MUCH FUEL

Some weeks ago it was reported that
the Santa Fe appeared to be preparing
for a scarcity OF coal by storing large
quantities along the. system at differ
ent points.
This rumor is strengthened by the de-
velopments which have occurred since
that time At Topeka a large trestle-
work was built, known as a storage
track, by means Of which great guam
titles of fuel might be dumped and held
ready for use. when for any reason oc-
easion demanded it. The track is built
on the plan of an inclined plane, being
of sufficient length and height to give
a capacity of several hundred tons.
The new style of coal cars are con-
structed so that they may be opened
at the bottom and the load allowed to
slide out without the expense Of I'M
loading by hand being necessary. Then
when the coal is needed it is expected
that a steam shovel win be used in the
reloading process. Storage tracks sim
liar to this have been constructed at
Newton and other points, and the work
of building them it seems is being con-
tinued as rapidly as possible.
Near the junction at Ottawa a huge
pile of coal is being dumped on the
ground as fast as trains that have no
other place to unload can do it. The
claim is made by men who have OBJ
served that more coal has been handled
over the Lawrence branch during the
last two weeks than ever before in the
same length of time.
In this way the belief has grown very
strong that the Santa FeiS making pro-
vision for some demand that may come
upon it at some time and has taken
this means of providing for such an

lieve that he can do his duty
On this occasion it will be the painful
duty of the new Speaker to allude in a
solemn and fitting manner to the loss
which has befallen the nation since the
House was last in session and to pro-
nounce an eulogium on the latest Of our
martyred Presidents.
This will be made necessary by the
fact that there has been no session OF
Congress held since the assassination OF
The President in September last and
therefore no opportunity given for the ma
tons legislators to express their regret
publicly on the matter.
When the Speaker has completed his
remarks he will declare that he is ready
to take the oath of Office. which will
be administered to him by one of the old
est members of the House present. Fol
lowing this will come the election of the
other important officers, including the
Clerk SerGeant-at-Arms, Ooorkeeper and
Postmaster.
Then will come the reading Of the
Presidents address. which will be per-
formed by the Clerk in Congress and in
the Senate by the Secretary.
This finished, suitable resolutions in
regard thereto will be offered. after
which, if precedent be followed, the two
Houses will take an adjournment in mem
DRY of the dead. This action will be pro-
posed by either the leader of the ma
ioritv in the House or by Congressman
