Santa Fe Makes Record Run Of
368 Niles
From Dodge City, Kansas, to
Kansas City.
81 MILES AN HOUR.
W. S. DOuthrirt Pays 5000 for
Special Train.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

A record run was made from Dodge
City to Kansas City Monday on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad,
the special train consisting of engine,
baggage and chair cars.
The special train was hired by Mr..
W. S. Douthrirt, who was a transcon-
tinental passenger, on train No. Of
that road. He desired to reach Kan
sas City in time to attend a meeting
which was held too early in the after
noon. for him to have reached it had
he remained a passenger on the train No.
which was scheduled to reach Kan
sas City at 4:s0.
The matter was important enough for
Mr. Douthrirt to hire a special train
for the distance of SsS1s miles. and
which cost him approximately $500.
The run was made at an average
rate of speed of 81 miles per hour for
the entire distance.
Leaving Dodge City at 5:55 o'clock
in the morning, Mr.. Douthrirt step
ped from the train in the Union station
at Kansas City at exactly one minute
past l o'clock
The time consumed in making the
trip was seven hours and six minutes,
which made an average OF. ST. miles
per hour, not counting out the time
consumed in stops.
Five minutes were lost at Spearville
at a crossing; 5 minutes at Sterling for
the same reason; Is minutes at Hutch
inson for lunch; 21R minutes at Newton
Emporia, and 21s minutes at Topeka
to change engines, making a total Of
81 minutes lost time.
The entire time consumed on the trip
being hours and minutes, and 81
minutes being taken out for delays,
makes the actual running time hours
and IS minutes, or an average OF 81
miles an hour on the whole trip.
From Holiday to Kansas City the
distance is 1873 miles and the run was
made in 10 minutes, which included the
run through the Kansas City terminals,
and switching yards into the Union
station
The engines used in hauling the Santa
Fe fast mail train were used in haul
ing the special; engine 1872 being used
Dodge City to Newton; engine O167
Newton to Topeka and engine 0166 To-
peka to Kansas City.
The fastest regularly scheduled train
on the Santa F'e between these points
is the California Limited. No. 4. It re-
quires hours and minutes to make
the trip from Dodge City to Kansas
City. The next fastest train is No. 10.
requiring hours and So minutes, and
train No. 6. the best known train, re-
quires 10 hours and 50 minutes to make
the trip.
In the face of this the trip made by
the special consuming hours and 35
minutes in actual running time is quite
remarka BILE.
Santa Fe officials declare no special
effort was made to make a record, and
that the time could have been mater
tally reduced had it been necessary.
Engineer Devearau and Conductor
Robinson were in charge of the train
from Dodge City to Newton; Conductor
Chas. A. Minturn from Newton to Kan
sas City; Engineer J. Snyder from
Newton to Topeka and Engineer Evan
Thomas from Topeka to Kansas City.

A Demand Made by Railway Employees

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 26.-Six thou

by the action upon the demands of the
Switchmen's Union of North America,
which has submitted a list Of griev-
ances to division superintendent in
this city simultaneously with the same

A committee of three men from
every division in the Pittsburg district
called on the respective superintend-

grievances which they want remedied
and the new scale of wages which they
wish placed in effect. No time limit
was set for an answer to the demands,

CHEF ENGINEER HUNTLEY.
Union Pacific Fills Place Vacated BY
Mr. Berry.

Omaha, Sent. 26.-At Union Pacific
headquarters announcement is made or
the promotion of r. L. Huntley from
acting to chief engineer of all that por-
ton of the Hartman railroad system
east of Green River, Wyo. Mr.. Hunt
ley's jurisdiction extends over the lines
in Nebraska, Kansas. Colorado, and
eastern wyoming Monday morning,
engineer of the Hartman lines, he left
on a tour of inspection of the lines in
the west. Mr.. Isaacs will go as FAR as
Portland, Ore, and Mr.. Huntley will
go to Green River. They will give spec
ial attention to the signal service and
bridge work while on the trip.
Mr.. Hunrley is a graduate of the
Rensselaer, polytechnic institute. and
commenced his engineering work with
the New York Central road. Suisse
quently he went to the Kansas City &
Omaha road locating the greater por-
ton of the line. In 1888 he came to the
Union Pacific, as assistant engineer,
and his first duty was working out the
plans for the new shops at Cheyenne.
This work was so satisfactory that he
was kept for a time on shops and other
large buildings along the system.
When Horace G. Burt came to the
Union Pacific as its president, Mr..
Huntley was made principal assistant
engineer, serving under Chief Engineer
Berry. When Mr.. Berry went TO the
Rock Island MI. Huntley was appoint
ed acting chief engineer of the Union
Pacific system, which position he has
held until this promotion.
All of the recent engineering work on
the Union Pacific has been done under
the direction and supervision of Mr..
Huntley. The Lane cutoff, regarded as
one of the biggest engineering feats in
the west. was taken up and worked out
personally by Mr.. Huntley-
The appointment of an assistant en-
gineer Of the system has not been an
nounced, and probably will not until
Mr.. Huntley's return.

OUT OF THE DRY BELT.

Dodge City, Kan. Sept 26-Durins
the past four weeks Ford county has
had a rainfall Of nearly 10 inches To
give the exact figures as taken by the
government bureau here. 1880 inches
have fallen since August p.
Since the first OF September the rain
fan has been e22 inches And since
last Sunday evening, when the flood
proper came there has been e.3s inches
The rainfall Of the last four weeks
stands as a most extraordinary record
on the books of the weather bureau. Il
exceeds the total rainfall for the en-
tire yea Of 1875. 1872. 1893 and 1890.
The total rainfall for 1878 was 1906
inches; OF 1894. 1850 inches; of 1893,
1912 inches and of 1880. 1l72 inches.
The rainfall Of some years has reach
ed 81 inches but the average for the
past so years IS something like u
Inches. The rainfall Of the past four
weeks then, IS over half OF the av-
erage for a year during the past 81
years.
This not only looks like western
Kansas has entered a new era IN re-
ceiving moisture. but it places Ford
county in the center of the rain belt,
because this county has been getting
the heaviest of the heavy rains which
have been falling IN western Kansas.
The total rainfall of the present year
will exceed by far anything on the
record since the establishment of the

Pennsylvania Meets Erie Rates.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-The Pennsyl-
vania lines. being that portion of the
Pennsylvania system west of Pittsburg,
has announced that it will meet the
competition Of the Erie in reducing the
rates in the central passenger territory
to 2 IL cents per mile, with a fat 2
cent mileage book. Notice Of this will
be given to the Central Passenger as
ISOLATION. and other lines are expected
to follow the lead.
This action places a fiat 2 cent rate
in Central Passenger territory beyond
the range of possibility as It was ex-
pected that the Pennsylvania would
make the reduction if it was made at
all. Now that this line has indicated
it's intention Of going not lower than
2 u cents per mile 1t is not likely that
any further reduction will be made
until after the legislatures have taken
action
