says:
New plans on the part of the st. Louis

company had surveys made for an ex-
tension from Marion Ark. to Baton

was made recently that II had been de-
cided to abandon this project. The line
was located along the west bank of the
Mississippi and could have been built
on a maximum grade of two-tenths per
cent. The company has spent much
money on this survey, and the announce
ment that it had been abandoned
caused surprise.
The explanation is found in the state
naent that the Frisco has concluded ne

Santa Fe viii Move Los Angeles
Offices to Topeka.
10 CentraIize and Facilitate
Handling Business.
MOVE 200 CLERKS.
Local General Office Building to
Be Re-arranged.
Gossip and Matters of interest
in Railroad Circles.

It is reported that plans are under
way for the transfer Of practically all
of the general offices of the Santa Fe
railroad now located at Los Angeles,
Cal, to Topeka.
The move will be made for the pur-
pose of systematizing and centralizing
the work OF handling the business OF
the company, and in order that the
business may be handled with greater
promptness and dispatch.
It is not likely that the Offices now To-
Gated at Galveston. Texas, Will be re-
moved to Topeka now or at any time in
the near future on account of the Texas
laws requiring the general Offices of all
roads operating in thar state to have
their general headquarters in the state.
If it was not for this provision of the
Texas law, the work now handled in
Galveston would in all probability soon
be transferred to Topeka.
J. F. Mitchell, ticket auditor. went
to Los Angeles Saturday evening for
the purpose of determining which of the
departments could best be brought to
Topeka. It is understood that it is
planned to bring all the Offices except
the freight and passenger representa-
tiVes and the officials Of the operating
department which it is imperative shall
remain on their respective jurisdictions.
The proposed changes will mean the
addition OF proDa Dly zDO clerks 10 the
number now employed by the Santa e
company a this point.
It is regarded as likely that the ticket
auditing department. will be removed to
Topeka within so days or so at the most,
and that the freight auditing depart
ment and the auditor of disbursements
will both soon after follow.
The entire fourth and fifth floors of
the general office building here win pro-
baby be utilized for the auditing de-
! ,.<,r RI, Mt nd the fpTs9 +
ment viii be moved downstairs to the
quarters now used by the ticket auditor
while that Office will go up to the fourth
floor.
1t Is also reported that the Office of
c. w Kouns, superintendent Of trans
portation will be returned to Topeka
from Chicago where it was taken a
couple of years ago.
1t is also said the work of the tie
treating department viii be centralized
at Topeka, by bringing to this point all
the men now in charge of tie treating
work at various points along the lines.
