Santa Fe to ReOrganize Its
Scrap Iron System.
Four Collection Points Named
for the Line.
MEANS MUCH MONEY.
Sale of Old Scrap Nets a Large
Annual Sum.
IN n
MUCH MONEY.
Scrap Yards at Topeka to Be
Materially Enlarged.

1t was announced yesterday that the
Santa Fe would shortly reorganize their
system of handling the iron scrap which
collects on the company's lines and in
cidentally it is stated that in the reor-
ganization of this part of the work of
the railroad, Topeka win be benefited.
One can hardly imagine the enormous
amount of scrap which collects annual
~ on all of the lines of the road. The
figures are startling. All of this scrap
is sold by the railroad and when it is
converted into money it adds materially
to the company's income. Consequently
the work of collecting this scrap and
sorting it out into its different classes
is of importance to the road and it is
necessary that this work should be car
ried on in way that would not incur
a great deal of expense but at the same
time would be effective in bringing
about thorough disposition of this i'm
mense amount of iron.
Heretofore the work of collecting and
sorting scrap was handled from the
headquarters of each division but it is
stated that this system is to be changed
and hereafter the work of sorting
scrap will be confined to only four
points on the line: San BernardinO, Cal,
Topeka. Kan. Each of these points is to
be equipped with scrap yard and each
scrap yard is to be equipped with bins.
etc The work of collecting the scrap
will not be changed. AS heretofore this
part of the work win be handled from
the division headquarters of the road.
Scrap will be collected on all parts Of
the line and will be sent into the head
quarters of the division. From there it
will be shipped to one of the above men
toned points where it viii be sorted and
made ready for disposition. This work
has already been commenced and much
scrap has arrived here to be sorted. At
one time last week there was at least so
cars of iron scrap standing in the local
Santa Fe yards.
Eventually the work of building the
local scrap yards will be commenced but
it is not thought that this work will be
done this year. When these yards are
completed it win be necessary to in
crease the company's local pay roll by
about % men and this viii mean that
many more Topeka men will be able to
secure employment. During the last
year the Santa Fe has made a great
many improvements in Topeka, thereby
recognizing this city as an advantageous
point from which to handle the work of
the road. A great many more men are
now employed here by the Santa Fe
than there was before and the list of 10
cal employees is constantly increasing.

An Iron Band on Babz,s Neck.

Fredonia. Kas.. Aug. 1.-THE pig
vear-old baby of ]. D. Timmons, living
near Fail River, was playing and put
an iron band, weighing about pound
and half on his head The band
slipped down on the baby's neck He
ran to his mother, and although IT
seemed to have gone on easily, she
could not remove it. She then sent for
her husband. who rode to Fail River
for a saw but when he returned he
found he could not use it on account
of not having a vice, The family then
drove to FredCnia a distance of twelve
miles. where at the machine shop of
T. P Belt they securely fastened the
iron band in a vice and in few min
utes had sawed it. When the collar was
taken off the baby said, Let's go to
grandna's."

MEADOWS IS APPOINTED.
Succeeds A. L. Day as Santa Fe Train
master at San Bernardino.

San Bernardino, Call Aug Ito.
Meadows, night chief dispatcher for the
Santa Fe in this city. was yesterday
morning appointed trainmaster of the
Southern California division of the
coast lines, vice A. L. Day, whose res
lgnatlon occurred two months ago. The
appointment was made by Superintend-
ent Beamer, who came up from his
headquarters in Los Angeles two days
ago. and bulletin announcing the Sc
lection was placed on the board at the
depot offices yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Meadows will be succeeded as night
chief dispatcher by o. F. Higginson, one
of the present trick dispatchers, and
who filled the place last season. Mr..
Hlgginsons trick will be taken by w.
t. Quirk, al present Santa Fe agent at
Pasadena. Mr.. Quirk is well known in
San Bernardino. having held the desk
of night chief dispatcher at the local
offices two seasons ago when II. NJ.
Baty was day chief.
Mr.. Meadows. the new trainmaster,
is a man of wide and long experience
in the transportation department, and
has been selected after careful consid-
GRAFTON on the part of the officials. He
came to the local office January 49, of
the present year as chief clerk to
Trainmaster Day. Previous to coming
west he served for IA years on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad in the
capacity of chief dispatcher and train
master While filing the latter office
ne had his headquarters in Hinton,
west Virginia, and was in charge of
two of the most important divisions on
the road. All this experience in the
employ of system which is numbered
among the most up-tO-date and thor
ough in the east, has fitted him admir-
ably for the duties which he is about to
assume and it was because of this
that he was the first selection of the
Coast line officials out of a number of
applicants for the position. Mr.. Mead
ows, himself, filed no application for
the place.
During his short stay here he has
served in several offices. First as clerk
to Trainmaster Day; next as general
yardmaster, and from thence to the
night dispatcher's desk. During this
time he has made many friends among
the men with whom he has come in
contact and many are they who have
already rendered their congratulations

vacancy made by Mr.. Meadows promo

TO REDUCE NOISE.
New Problem Confronting the Elevat-
ed Railway Engineers

CA Avail ~
According to the Boston Advertiser,
the Boston Elevated has succeeded in
reducing by IS per cent the noise made
by trains on its elevated structure.
Among other things which have con-
tributed to this reduction of noise men
ton is made of the use of leather link
connecting the contact shoe with the
car The tires of the wheels are peri
odically ground to remove fiat spots A
year ago an officer of the company made
a study of noise-reducing devices in use
in Europe and has since been expert
menting in the light of what he learned.
The most practical results, however,
have been secured through direct obser-
walton of the local conditions 1t is to
be feared that noise and the methods
by which it might be made less, has
never received sufficiently serious con-
sideration in New York. The elevated
lines on Manhattan are so vital a ne
cessity to the community that they have
been accepted with all their evils, of
which noise is not the least. Any genu-
inc reduction in the noise nuisance
along the avenues containing the ele-
waited structures should have a marked
influence on the adjacent property val
ues, entirely apart from the benefit di-
rectly conferred on the passengers and
the community at large. The smoke
evil receives short shrift in New York
but the noise evil is an unfortunate at
tribute of a great city which requires
something more than health commits
sioners orders. When sleeping cars
were novelty the late George NJ. Pull
man is reported to have been asked,
How do you make your cars quiet and
easy riding?' The answer was mo
one panacea. Solid work and tight
joints from the wheels to the ventila-
tors" This suggests the only adequate
remedy for BoSton's noise annoyances.
1t can never be made complete, for the
booming sound is insepara BILE from a
fast train; but the racket from loose
rivets and lost motion can be got rid
of by thorough work

WORK IS SUSPENDED.
Order Given by the Santa Fe May

Las Vegas. N. NJ, Aug. 11.-Chief En-
gineer F. NJ. Jones, who had charge of
the work for the Santa Fe in securing
a feasible route for line paralleIing
the Rock Island from Dodge City, has
returned here. He says that an excel
lent route had been found and that eV-
erything was ready to begin construc-
ton when the order came to close the
office and stop all work. The engineer
thinks there is no immediate likelihood
of work in Kansas or New Mexico be-
ing resumed.
From Belen comes the rumor that
work on the Santa Fe cutoff may be
suspended soon.
Local officials of the Santa Fe say
they know nothing of the work on this
cutoff. as it is all handled from the
Chicago office.
