McCREARY QUITS HARVEY.
Takes Position in Charge of Big Texas
Enterprise.

Harry McCreary for ten years past
travelling auditor and superintendent
of Fred Harvey's news and Indian de-
partment, and probably the best
known man in the Harvey service
west of Kansas City, has resigned his
position to take the, active manage
ment of C, w. Posts great land en-
terprise at Post Gity. Cara county;
Texas. Mr.. McCreary will assume his
new position at once. ag--r
C.. w. Post, the promoter and mil
lionaire owner of all of, the Postum
Cereal company's products which
have made Battle Creek, Mich, IA
nous throughout the world, recently
acquired a tract of 100000 acres of
valuable land in the west Texas coun-
ty. 1t is the intention to sell this
land in small tracts to farmers and
to build on the tract Post City, which
is to be a model city, the county seat
of Cara county, and built after Mr..
Posts own ideas of municipal con-
struction The enterprise is en-
ormous one and the selection of Mr..
McCreary to take the active manage
ment of it is a high tribute to his ex-
ecutive ability and business standing.
The enterprise of the famous cereal
manufacturer has attracted wide at
tention both because of its magnitude
and of the distinctly new idea which
is involved.
very large proportion of the pop
ulation along the Santa Fe between
Kansas City and San Francisco knows
Harry McCreary and during his long
service with the Harvey system he has
made literally thousands of friends
who know him as genial, able man
who friendship is valuable. That Mr..
McCreary will succeed with the big
Texas enterprise no one who knows
him doubts. In spite of the respon-
sible position he has held with the
Harvey system, he is still a young
man. possessed of unusual energy and
marked capacity for organization and
management both of affairs and men.
While his friends will unite in con-
graduating him upon the important
work he has undertaken, there will
be very general regret at his depar-
ture from the field in which he has
worked for so long.

Santa Fe Will Open School for
Apprentices on Coast Lines.
To Be Run in Connection With
Shops at San Bernardino.
LIKE TOPEKA SCHOOL
Mr.. Thomas Returns to Topeka
Observation-Disclosures.
Other Items Of Interest to
Railway People.

w. W. Thomas, supervisor of appren-
tees for the Santa Fee system. has Just
returned from San Bernardino where
he has been in conference with Master
Mechanic I. L. Hicks and the other
coast line mechanical officials relative
to completing plans for the opening of
a school for APPRENTICES in connection
with the shops in that city.
1t is understood that the school which
will be modelled after the Topeka school
will be opened about December 1, with
two instructors at the outset, one on
the technical work and. the other on
the practical side of the work. These
instructors will be selected from among
the men in charge of the work at tho
shops, in all probability.
The school designs to give the appren-
tees six hours per week, or two hours
every day, in mechanical drawing,
problems, etc., the work all being de-
signed to sbe of a practical character.
BY following out this school work the
apprentices will become better able to
ical drawings that are placed before
them for their guidance in their shop
work. They will also be able to secure
a more rapid advance for themselves
in their apprenticeship, and at the same
time the Santa Fee will have a constant
source of competent mechanics who
have been brought up according to the
Santa F'e idea. --a-
This school Will meet IN the air room
and will be in charge of the technical
instructor. The instructor on the prac-
teal side of the work will circulate
about through the shop among the ap-
prentices and give them instruction on
their work.
At present there are about 25 appren-
tices in the San Bernardino shops who
will avail themselves of the new school
work. Later this number will probably
be considerably increased. A similar
school has already been opened in con-
nection with the Topeka shops. The
schools will also be opened at several
other points on the system, especially
at all the main shop points.

MAsoUERADED TO THE LAST.
Woman Who Passed for a Man go
Years Is Dead.

Trinidad, Col, Nov. 12.-After pass
ing for sixty of her 83 years as a
man, and during half o; that period
passing as the husband of another
woman, Miss Katherine Vosbaugh,
her sex revealed by illness, died at a
hospital here today
Miss Vosbaugh was born in France
eighty-three years ago. When young
woman she found it difficult to make
her way on account of her sex, and
adopting mems clothes, obtained en-
ployment as a bookkeeper in Joplin,
Mo.
This position she held for nine years
and then secured a position in st.
Joseph, Mo-, bank.
While in st. Joseph she married
woman with whom she lived for over
thirty years. The woman was in
trouble and "Charles" Vosbaugh mar
ried her to protect her.
The two women, still masquerading
as man and wife. came to Trinidad
two years ago. After the death of her
wife, Miss Vosbaugh worked here in
various capacities until she became
feeble and last year was taken to the
hospital.
1t was then that her sex was dis
covered for the first time in many
years, but even after her recovery she
refused to change her clothing, and
continued to wear her masculine
habiliments to the end.

BIG FEAT IN MOVING.
Santa Fe Transferring Three Hundred
Ton Water Tank.

San Bernardino, Cal, Nov. 12.-The
largest moving job ever undertaken in
this city is now under way in the
Santa Fe yards, and it is worth ones
while to stroll out that way and take
a look at the manner in which a big
task of that sort is handled.
1t is the immense fuel oil tank
which has stood at the west end of
the shop yards for several years,
cation to the north of the new yards
and west of Mt Vernon avenue.
This great tank, which is one of the
large type used by railroads anywhere,
is 90 feet in diameter, 80 feet high
and weighs 800 tons, being built of
solid sheet steel. That it is no small
task to move successfully such a
structure as this is at once evident,
the immense weight and danger of
collapse being the chief obstacles.
The Santa Fe had some trouble in
job but finally succeeded in getting
bid from w. A. Basore & Sons, of
Pasadena, who are the largest build
ing movers in this part of the state,
and who had already done much bust
ness for the Santa Fe in this city in
shifting small buildings. The exact
cost of moving the tank is not stated,
but is said to be not less than $4,000.
The work of getting the tank start
ed on it's journey has been under way
the past month, the greatest portion
of the big job being in lifting it from
the ground, and ready for travel. 1t
caution being necessary to prevent its
getting out of level, even to the slight
est degree, for fear of causing it to
COLLAPSE.

IMPROVEMENT AT Ell PAso.
Rock Island Takes Back Discharged
Employees at That Place.

Ell Reno, Ok, Nov. 12.-When the
news went forth last week that the
Rock Island had laid off a large num-
Der of laborers in the yards here,
many citizens inferred that a stop
page of the vast railroad improve
ments now under way in the city
would result. They simply were mis-
taken. Nearly all the men who were
discharged have since been reinstated,
and a visit to the yards today will
show hundreds of men at work on
miles of new side tracks, and four
work trains engaged in hauling dirt
from the big hill to the valley in
which the yards are located .
In the west yards, about thirty
tracks are in course of construction.
Several tracks have also been begun
in the north yards, and many acres
of the valley have already been filed
in to a depth of about four feet. The
round house will be completed within
a month.
The brick walls of the machine
shops building are rising rapidly, and
the big smokestack has reached
height of about fifteen feet. It is be-
ing built of fire brick, and will be 125
feet high when completed. The mas
sive timbers of the coal chute are
nearly all in place, and the steel crew
is rapidly building the big stand pipe.
In a dozen places in the yards large
crews of men are at work, and the
entire seven hundred acre tract is a
scene of the greatest activity.

SPECULATION AT FAULT.
Bryan Discusses the Financial Condi-

Milwaukee, Nov. 12.-W. J. Bryan

guests. He responded to the toast

He discussed the present money
stringency, saying that it began with

unreasonable fear.

be found there may be of interest to
many. TO begin with, there are
many miles of trackage there, for the
side tracking and making up of trains,
ana 16 stall round house for the
housing and temporary repair of the
engines, supplied with the necessary
machinery. Here the engines are
cleaned off after their trip, and fixed
up for their next run; the coaling is
done at the large coal chutes built
convenient to the tracks, and such as
burn oil, which includes all engines
running south from Shawnee, is
drawn from an elevated oil tank from
which pipes are filled by gravity, the
CINE tender.
A storage house for ice is in the
yards for the purpose of icing the, re-
frigerator cars at this point. Last
season 125 tons of ice were used for
that purpose.
A large and well appointed reading
or club room has been built for the
accomm OdatiOn and ease of the en-
ployes. This building has reading
room provided with all the modern
the leading daily newspapers. A Ii
brary comprising literary and scien-
uf1c works bearing on mechanics, en-
cheering, locomotives, economic
questions, ETC., besides full and very
complete encyclopaedia. The rail-
road company furnishes the reading
free.
Bath rooms are provided and one
may take bath at a cost of ten cents.
In one of the rooms are billiard and
pool tables, the cost to play at which
is ten cents per hour for a table.
In the second story are some % bed
rooms for the accommodation of the
employees, the cost of a room being rs
cents a night.
Thus when a fireman, brakeman or
engineer comes in from his run he can
take bath, enjoy himself reading or
playing billiards till he feels like re-
firing and then go to a neat and well
kept room with tidy bed.
One of the buildings in the shop
yards is an eating room where one
may get all he wants to eat at mod
crate rates.
A building is devoted to the teleg-
rapher's and the yardmaster's Office
and another building is occupied as
the quarters of the general foreman of
the mechanical department.
There are two large stand pipes or
water tanks, one, the larger of the
two, for treated water for the en-
gines and the other contains the nat
ural water as it comes from the
pumps.
The number of employees having
this for headquarters varies, but as a
p1oyed. 1t is an active railroad colony
and represents large outlay of
money and a sincere regard for the
employees.
