Santa Fe Will Make Its Time
Cards Uniform.
Change Style Of Make Up on
Santa Fe Pacific.
NEW SET OF QUESTIONS
Examination Will Be Made to
Conform With the Code.
Important Matters to Come Be-
fore Time Card Meeting.

It has been decided by the Santa Fe
officials in the operating department
that the June time card viii be issued
in uniform style for the whole system.
This viii necessitate a general revision
OF the typographical style which has
heretofore been used on the Santa Fe
Pacific.
The time cards of the Santa Fe
proper. the Gulf Colorado & Santa Fe
and the Santa F'e Pacific have hereto
fore been issued without any particular
reference to one another, and the re-
suit has been that the makeup of the
card Of the three allied roads is more
or less different. This is especially true
of the Santa Fe Pacific time card. The
plan is to bring all of the time cards
into uniformity with the card Of the
Santa Fe proper.
The Santa Fe Pacific card will be
generally remodeled. and another kind
type used in the G. @. & S F. and
Santa Fe proper time cards The in
structiOns win be printed in correspond
ing positions, the Authorizations used
viii be the same, and the Specification
of the different kinds of type will be
made to correspond. The use of a. m.
and p. m in the Santa Fe Pacific card
VIII be changed to be like the same
abbreviatiOn in the other cards.
In general the makeup of the Gulf
card is more in harmony with the pres
ent card of the main line, and not many
changes will be necessary
The general plan for the changes
was decided upon by a. meeting held
recently Of representatives from the
Gulf and the Santa Fe Pacific with
Assistant General Manger D. Z. Cain.
The formal action win be taken by the
division superintendents when they
meet here in May to string the new
card
At the. May meeting the superintend-
ents win also adopt a new set Of Eek
animation questions" for applicants for
positions. The new questions will be
drawn up to correspond with the re-
quirements of the new Santa Fe code
book The general form of these ques-
tons was drawn up by the representa-
ives Of the three branches of the Santa
b'e system, and will not be made public
until formally adopted by the division
Euperintendents.
The exact date for the time card
meeting has not been fixed 1t will be
sometime about the middle of Nav.

will probably come to Topeka TO do some
work on the power house which is now be-
ing started. It was intended that the force
would remain here until the material for
the second Cotton electric crane would ar
rive, but this plan was abandoned and the
water service men will assume the respOn-
sibility of that job. The traveller, which
for about Is months has stood on the site
of the new plant has been dismantled and
is now stored in the field yard. All the
other machinery in use during the building
of the new structure has been moved out
with the exception of the weed burner
which will probably be sent ont over the
line as soon as there is need for the
growth of vegetation being checked.

FOR MRS. TWEEDDALE.
Resolutions of Respect Passed by the
Occidental Club.

At the meeting of the club of which
Mrs. Tweeddale had so long been
member, the following resolution was
unanimously passed:
Resolved, That in losing Mrs. Tweed
dale from the Occidental club. we part
with an always true, helpful and intelli-
gent member.
tt was always expected of Mrs. Tweed
dale that she would have something in
teresting and valuable to say, and the
expectation was always realized in her
club work. The lesson in her hands was
entertaining and suggestive and embel-
lished with original thought
For several years her beloved church
work and other exacting duties deprived
the club of the pleasure of her presence
as a regular attendant, but I'D to the
time of her death she was an honored
member.
In the IS years of the life of the Oc-
cidental club, Mrs. Tweeddale is the
first one to pass from its immediate
membership to the great beyond. SUCH
a bond of friendship as has been wrought
in this score of years cannot be broken
with the severing of earthly ties. Her
memory will be lovingly cherished in
the club of which she was a valued
member, 50 long as it exists.

land is not correct or else this new side
track escaped taxation last year. If It
did, I think we ought to assess it this
year to cover last year, in the same
manner as is provided for local assess
ors.''
Mr.. Highleyman explained that he
took his figures from the invoice which
is made on December 81 each year, and
he deity succeeded in changing the
subject. Twice afterwards Mr.. Cole led
up to it again, but each time the tax
commissioner brought up something
new and switched the board into some
new discussion.
Both sides finally got tired, and no
action was taken at the time.
