AN INTERESTING TOOL
The Automatic Screw Machine Does
Wonders.

The most highly developed Of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine. and, like many another contriv-
ance for saving labor, its home is New
England. 1t is II development of the
ordinary steel-working lathe, the inter-
mediate step being the monitor lathe,
in which the various cutting tools pro-
trude from the side of n steel turret
like thirteen-inch guns from battle
ship turret. In the non-automatic
screw machine the turret is revolved
by the operator, so as to bring each
tool into play, just as the turret on the
old Monitor was revolved to bring one
gun after another into action. But in
the automatic machine the work Is
done without human guidance.
1t making screws, nuts, bolts, stud
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters, electrical instru.
ments and other mechanism, all the op-
orator has to do is to feed the stock"
"a long. thin rod of steel or brass-to
the machine. The feeding mechanism
carries the rod slowly forward into the
field of action. The turret advances
and puts Its first tool ut work on the
end of the rod. When this tool has
done It's task, the turret withdraws It,,
turns and advances a second tool into
action. Ench cutting tool around the
turret has Its distinct work to perform
one cutting thread, another shaping
a hend. another putting on a point, an
other drilling hole, still another put
ting on n knuriing. The turret auto
maticaIly brings each of, perhaps, six
tools into action, and, when the work
is finished, the completed screw drops
into a pan, while the stock" Is auto
matically fed forward to begin the COM
plex operation again. stream OF ma
chine oil pours continuously on the
work to carry away the heat, and the
little metal cuttings collect in Il heap
under the machine.

SANTA FE OPPOSES IT.
Does Not Want K. G. Union Depot in
West Bottoms.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 25.-The Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe railway is con-
tinuing it's opposition to the location of
the new Union passenger station on or
near the site of the present union depot
The Santa Fe railway is not alone in
opposing the present site, but the Sam
ia Fee is the most open opponent of the
west bottoms location.
There are several sites being consid-
cred by the secret committee" said II.
U. Nudge, general manager of the San
ia Fee, at the union depot. There is
strong opposition to the present location.
Perhaps one of the most urgent reasons
for not building here is in the handling
of the freight traffic. The Burlington,
the Alton and the Union Pacific rail-
roads, in transferring cars to and from
the first named roads, are continually
crossing and recrossing the union depot
tracks. The Alton and the Burlington
use tracks adjoining the depot as main
line tracks in and out of Kansas City.
The freight traffic is growing rapidly
and facilities must be provided for the
purpose of handling this business. And
then there are other potent reasons
why the new station should be built
elsewhere and / believe that it will be
built in more central location. The
committee has not, as yet, rejected any
Of the several plans first taken up as
at all suitable to the purpose. The sta
ton that is to be built must do for all
time to come, consequently haste is be-
ing made slowly. The Santa Fe has
arrangements for the use of the Mis-
souri, Pacific tracks in and out of the
union depot for the use of our Chicago
train, but has postponed the operation
Of the trains until the union depot pro-
position is finally settled"

RUNNING THE GAUNTLET.
How the Santa Fe is Guarding Its
San Bernardino Shops.

The San Bernardino Sun gives an in
teresting picture of the condition of
things at the Santa Fe shops there now
that it is working on the strike basis
The Sun follows an imaginary stranger
in his efforts to inspect the improve
ments being made at the shops. The
Sun says that after the stranger has
decided to enter the shop Yards and
take closer look at the new buildings,
a heavy set man with a red handker-
chief around his neck, a club in his
hand, and who has probably been sit
ting in the shade of a cottonwood which
grows opposite the fire house, gives him
the high sign. at the same time asking
in a loud voice what the visitor is look
ing for. The stranger may, at first
thought be inclined to reply, None of

front of his shirt is a badge which
reads: Deputy Sheriff." and he meek

with badge and cudgel, evidently not
ing that the visitor is not acquainted
ders not to allow strangers on the prem
ises, and especially to see that there is
no talking between the employees and
any one who may have permission from
the shop office to look about, however, If
you want to get to the office, of course
I can pass you up"
So saying, the deputy starts off in
the direction of the store house, the
stranger following, not knowing just
what passed up means, but willing
now to undergo anything to have an
other look at the old stands. He is
still wondering if it wouldn't have
been better for him to have worn his
old clothes before agreeing to join the
new order, or what ever 1t might prove
to be, when he and his guide come upon
another man, also dressed in star and
club.
Here's a man who wants to get to

Deputy No. 2 starts off and the stran-
ger meekly accompanied his new guide.

Santa Fe Quadruplex Wires to
Be Opened August /.
Cut Through From Chicago to
Pacific Coast.
ONLY ONE RELAY POINT
Operators Will Move From Las
Vegas to La Junta.
Interesting Information About
Asst. Supt. III. c. Chace.

G. H Gaunt superintendent OF tele-
graph for the Santa Fe, returned Thurs
day from his extended trip in the west.
and announced today that the final
move in the completion of the Santa
FEES new quadruplex system will take
place on August l, when the relay sta
ton for transcontinental business Will
be moved from Las Vegas to La Junta,
making only one relay station between
Los Angeles and Chicago.
When this change is made, the install
lation of the quadruplex system may be
said to be complete. About dozen OPP
orators will be moved from Las Vegas
to La Junta by the final change.
Under the proposed system of relays,
through business originating at Los An
geles will be relayed only at La Junta
matically repeated at Topeka and at
Flagstaff but will not be resent. Thls
saves one relay station. Through mes
,ges were formerly relayed at Las We
gas and at Topeka.
The installation of the quadruplex Sys-
tenn has involved the stringing of hum
dreds of miles of new copper wire, and
the appointment of several new ofh-
Gals. All parts of the Santa Fe system
are now on quad" wires, and Topeka
is the central station for nearly all of
the business. All of the messages from
the Gulf lines are relayed at Topeka,
and all the messages from Chicago and
the coast pass through here. Besides
that, more business originates at To-
peka than at any other point on the
system because of the location of the
general offices here.
In speaking of the appointment of
Horace c. Chace of Los Angeles to be
assistant superintendent of telegraph in
charge of the telegraph lines west OF
Albuquerque. Superintendent Gaunt
said:
Mr.. Chace is younger than any man
who in the past mas filled the position
of assistant superintendent of telegraph

degree of executive ability which Mr..

to fill the position, and many who under
the rule of seniority were perhaps better
entitled to it But Mr.. Chace has shown
such excellent qualities that I think it
is safe to say that no one better fitted
for the place could have been found

ton in telegraph service. He has spent

SORE ON SANTA FE.
Hartman Does Not Like to See It
Get All the Business.

Friendly relations between the Santa
Fe and the Southern Pacific are said to
have become badly strained on account
of rivalry over freight business in Cali
fornia, which is reported to have gone
in a large proportion from the latter to
the former company.
1t is claimed that ever since Hartman
secured control of the Southern Pacific
the Santa Fe freight traffic has been
growing. Within the last few weeks the
Southern Pacific is said to have inaug-
urated vigorous campaign against it's
rival carrier in order to stem the Santa
FEES growing trade.
President Hartman, it is stated, has
become alarmed over the successful ag
gressiveness of the Santa Fe, and has
demanded of his freight traffic depart
ment that steps be Immediately taken
to produce a sure and speedy remedy.
These officials, it is stated. have hit
upon a plan which will go into effect at
once. Merchants who have given trade
to the Santa Fe, it is said, will be called
upon to explain their preference, and be
given to understand that Southern Pa
cific special privileges will be taken
from them unless they decide that it
would be more to their interest to use
that line.

temporary ratings, the division master
mechanic and his force have been doing
their daily work for two weeks.
Just outside of this building are To-
Gated two cars which claim the atten-
ton of the sightseer. One is a box car
of the extra long pattern, which has
been blocked on the material track and
fitted with steps which lead from the
ground to the platforms. It is likewise
furnished with windows, well screened,
and with doors at either end. Inside is
a cooking range, any amount of provis-
ions, and long dining table, neatly
covered with oil CLOTH
The second car is a regulation pasSen-
ger coach, which has been provided
with hunks and all the necessary ia
cilities of a sleeping car. The windows
save for the mosquito netting which has
