cidents to employees the showing made
by the safety appliances is gratifying,
the decrease being large. Likewise the

there was only a fractional part of

division master mechanic soliciting men
to fill the request, and the following
offered their services: Engineers F. ].
Haran, Atherton and George Dorance.

eft Of these telegram was sent to
Mr.. Henderson asking that men be
allowed to go to the Gulf line on a 90
day leave of absence. which would of
course give them the alternative of re-
naming or returning home. By men
who have been located in Texas the
offer is looked upon as a good one. The
pay is better on the Gulf division than
here and living is considerably less ex-
pensive.

large single orders for equipment and

general attention The Pennsylvania
order, however, is phenomenally large
and all the more remarkable from the
fact that other large orders for power
have been given by the company dur

a remarkable fact that 200 of the en-
gines will be built in the Altoona shops
of the Pennsylvania company and only
one-third of the order has been placed
with outside companies.

BENSON GOES EAST.


Frank Benson. for the last IL years a
Santa Fe timer. and inventor of the
Benson switch lamp which is being
handled by all the leading lines of the
country, expected to leave TODAY for
Kent. Ohio, with his family where he
will live in the future. Benson is an
excellent workman, q good fellow in a
personal wav and it causes regret to
know that he is leaving Topeka. In a
recent number of the Kent Courier,
which explains his reason for moving
to that city appears the following no.

ing in charge. He Will move his family

1t is no compliment to the friends OF
Topeka to have it known that they have
carelessly permitted an opportunity OF
this sort to pass where if inducements
had been offered it is possible an excel
lent manufacturing institution might
have been established here.

have happened within a few months
Late Tuesday afternoon, 16 freight cars
went through small bridge after the
engine and tender had passed over safe

probably could not be opened for traf-
fic before today. 1t became necessary
for the trains to detour the scene of the
trouble by running over the tracks of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy

hurt in the smash-up although the train
was making a good speed at the time
the bridge broke.

F. T. Perris. the head OF the Santa

interesting figures on the production of
oil from the various wells of the Full

figures the total output of the wells in
the Fullerton country amounted to
45,628 barrels, ~ gallons to the barrel.

amount of oil was No. &c, producing
over $4,000 barrels. The pump was put

M. & o. Encourages Truck Farming


Jackson, Miss, Sept. 1S.-The indus
trial department of the Mobile & Ohio
is endeavoring to encourage truck
farming in the section of country
through which the lines run in a man
ner somewhat similar to that adopted
by the Illinois Central in this section
several years ago, and which is now
being tried by the New Orleans &
Northeastern. The Industrial agents
have notified the farmers that they will
furnish all the information and litera-
ture needed to acquaint them with the
ms and outs of the truck farming in
dustry, and will furnish seed of the
most desirable varieties of vegeta bles
and truck products. A great deal of in.
terest has been aroused. and a heavy
increase in the truck farming acreage
in Mississippi is expected next year.
Fruit farming is also attracting atten-
ton, and thousands of young trees will
be set out in the state during the fall
and winter months. Fruit and truck
farming in this state, with an average
season, is the most profitable branch OF
the agricultural industry.

WANT GUILE OUTLET.
People Of Pecos Valley Want Direct
Line to Coast.

Roswell, N. NJ, Sept 18-The people
of the Roswell country are clamoring
for new railroad via Fort Worth to
the gulf and will substantially assist
any company that will build one. They
assert that a more direct outlet to tide
water Is necessary, in order to facilitate
the advantageous handling of cattle and
fruits that thrive in that section of the
territory. AS it is now shipments are
entirely too circuitous by the way of the
Santa Fe and the Fort Worth & Denver
City via Fort Worth to deep water. The
distance to be travelled by this route to
Fort Worth is over 500 miles. If some
company could be induced to build
direct road from Roswell to Fort Worth
this distance would be reduced to about
$50 miles, thus making the haul at least
better railroad connections is being agi-
tated by the leading fruit growers in the
Roswell country who are seeking
more direct outlet of the gulf which
would enable them to ship their product
to Liverpool. Test shipments Of apples
have already been made and found to
be all that could be desired. The fruit
growing sections Of eastern New Mex
leo are in the artesian belt and with an
excellent climate apples and other
fruits grow 1uxuriously. The altitude is
such that no insects bother the fruit
One OF the largest orchards is owned by
Mr.. Hagarman, who built the Pecos
Valley road, and consist of 60 600 bearing
trees. From this orchard are being
shipped two and a half cars of apples
daily while 1900 gallons of cider is made
every twelve hours. Employment is
given to $50 men who pick, pack and
box the fruit ready for shipment to
market. As it is now. most of these
shipments are going to Kansas City,
but If there were better and more d.
| rect outlet to the gulf, they would be
billed through Fort Worth for export to
| Liverpool. While this is one of the
largest orchards in that part of New
Mexico, there are quite a number nearly
as large. Many enterprising people
| there would engage in the apple grow
| ing business were it not for the lack of
railroad facilities.
