Paying Rebates.

Proceedings of the United States
government against the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe railway company
will come UP in the United States dis

Paul Morton, former secretary of the
navy and now head Of the Equitable
Life Assurance society was involved
when he was the second vice president
of the Santa Fe.
Another case in which the Santa
Fe is involved is known as the Hutch
inson salt case. In the first case. de-
NAL of the payment of rebates will be
made by the railroad company, while

been made in the salt case.

States attorney general, will prosecute
the cases for the government, and he
is expected to reach Kansas City early
next week.

San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 1O.=In the
case of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
Railway company against J. 7. Luther,

court of civil appeals has decided that

The court finds that, while the
plaintiff was away from the depot on
business, the negress became very
angry with his wife on account of one
of the plaintiff small children spiiHng

THIS ROUND HOUSE NOVEL.
santa Fe Structure at silsbee Contains
New Ideas.

Santa Re structure at SIlSbeo Contains
New Ideas.
AS the roundhouse of the Santa Fe
at Sisbee, Tex, nears completion it
looms up as one of the most peculiarly
constructed buildings Of its kind in the
country, and at the same time it is
built on lines that make it one of the
best ventilated rOundhouse structures
in Texas at least, if not in the United
States.
The building is put up on a plan en-
tirely different from others of its class
and the thing that strikes one most
forcibly is that the back of the build
ing is higher by at least fifteen feet
than the front. This is contrary to the
accepted mode of building that class of
structures, as the front is generally a
couple of feet higher than the back.
The roof is built on the step plan
from the back wall to the front, with
the down step made as a ventilator
which allows of the instant disappear
ance of all smoke from the locomo-
tives that gather in a structure for
housing engines, and keeps it always
clear of fumes and well aired at the
same time. It will not be long now I'M
til the building is finished and when it
is the Beaumont division Of the Santa
F'e will have the best appointed-if not
the argest-rOundhouse on the entire
Santa Fe system.
The machine shops are also to be
modern in structure and built on the
generally accepted plans of northern
ideas for such structures. that is. a
saw tooth 800 which permits of per-
feet ventilation throughout the entire
| building, and at the same time insures
plenty of daylight at all hours of the
/ day The building is to be modern in
every respect and the work of con-
slructlOn will start as soon as the
roundhouse job is completed. The new
storehouse viii also soon be complet-
cd ana made ready for occupancy.

PASSENGER CARS ON FIRE.
Santa Fe Train Crew Puts Out Blaze
in Fine Shape.

in Fine Shape.
Two coaches on one of the west
bound Santa Fe trains caught fire a
couple of days ago a short distance
east of Gallup, N. NJ. It is thought
that the fire caught from sparks flying
from the engine. As soon as the fire
was discovered the crew went quietly
about extinguishing the blaze. For
the first few minutes the fire gained on
the volunteer department and it was
necessary to stop the train to prevent
the wind from tanning the blaze back
into the top of the coaches. After the
train came to a stop it was a short
job to put out the fire. Passengers on
the train who saw the work of the
train crew speak very highly of the
way the men worked No excitement
was caused, many in the burning
coaches not even knowing that the
cars they were riding in were on fire.
The coaches were not seriously dam
aged, owing to the promptness and
skill with which the entire train crew
fought back the flames.

Santa Fe Putting Down IS Pound
Steel on Beaumont Division.

The laying of new75 pound steel on
Fe, has been started at Somerville and
all of the extra men in the employ of
the company on the gulf lines have
been sent there to do the work. There
is enough steel on hand at Somerville
to lay about thirty miles of track
which will take it to the end of the
present rock ballasted portion of the
road, the latter work being extended
east from Somerville as fast as it is
possible to do it.
It is the intention of the Santa Fe to
lay the entire Beaumont division with
new rs pound steel before the end of
the winter season, and it is also the in
tention of the management to rock
ballast the entire division before the
end of another year.

people sold their farms and moved to
Texas. In turn people from Iowa, Mis-

farms there and started west, either
