SANTA FEES NEW AIR BRAKES.
Most Improved Westinghouse style
Has Been Adopted.

ASSOCIATED Press-Leased Wire.l
Chicago, Aug. 16.-Ofhcial announce
ment has been made by the Santa Fe
company that it has adopted the West
inghouse new high speed air brake as
a standard on all lines within it's con-
troll. This statement came as a sur
prise in some quarters because of re-
port that the Santa Fee had, after
long line of experiments, decided to
stick to the old standard brake.
Orders have been given by President
E. p. Ripley to equip all new cars and
locomotives with the new brake and
to take off the old brakes on the equip
ment now in service as fast as the cars
are sent to the shops for repairs.
In view of the fact that bad wrecks
have recently been caused by the in
ability of the standard brake to stop
trains quickly enough, the Southern
wreck in which President Spencer was
killed being a notable example, the
action of the Santa Fe is of vast inn
port The high speed brake has shown
a stopping power of 20 per cent greater
than the standard brake. This means
that in an ordinary train going at the
rate Of 60 miles hour the distance
in which 1t can be stopped is shortened
by 40 feet. In other words, the train
is at a stop where it would have been
going at speed of 20 miles an hour

SANTA FEES NEW ENGINES.
Those of the Prairie Type With Novel
Features Beginning to Arrive

Features Beginning to Arrive.
The first of an order of 81 new en-
gines of the 1000 type are beginning to
arrive here. This type is what is known
on the railroad as the prairie type, and
are used on comparatively level coun-
try for freight service. The Baldwin
Locomotive works is the builder of
these machines.
From pilot to the back of the ten
der of one of these engines measures
nearly 100 feet. 1t is Is feet 6 inches
from the surface of the rail to the top
extends Is inches higher, making II
feet. These engines are the largest
built of this type and are among the
largest locomotives made. Their weight
is about 1872 tons. while the largest en-
CINE in the world weighs about 200
tons. The new prairie type locomotive
is equipped with the latest compound
cylinders, besides compound air
pump, which is the latest pump put
out by the Westinghouse company.
This air pump was invented by To-
peka machinist. who was made wealthy
by his invention. He was paid a small
fortune by the Westinghouse company
for his patent, and given life time
job at $50 per month.
The tender holds eight tons OF coal
and 5000 gallons of water. 1t requires
about one ton of coal to furnish heat to
run one of these engines ten miles, and
5000 gallons of water is converted into
steam every five hours.
The boiler of one of these locomo-
tives is Sc inches, or seven feet six
inches in diameter.
The Santa Fe pays the Baldwin Lo-
connective works 100000 for every one OF
these machines. The contract price for
the bunch of 30 is $3.50, 900. Besides this,
nearly $500 a month to keep them in
repair.

TO BUILD NEW STATIONS.
Santa Fe Has Plans for Depots in
Western Kansas.

The Santa Fe has recently let con-
tracts for a new depot at Syracuse.
Kan, and a new passenger station at
Garden City, Kan. The Syracuse depot
will cost about $4,000 and be of frame,
and the Garden City station will be of
present depot at the latter place is to
be used for a freight house in the fu-
ture.
The new freight station in Hutchir-
son is to contain an office part, 40x60
feet, two stories high, and a freight
wareroom 40x302 feet, with covered
platform at the rear, 40x100 feet in size.
The entire station building and plat
form will be 462 feet in length and will
be the finest freight house in Kansas.
Work is supposed to start soon on this
work. 1t is to cost about $35, 900.

Two-cENr RAILRoAD RATE.

A CONFERENCE of leading railway man
ayers of the country has been held in New
York city TO consider the advisability of lower
ing voluntarily, the passenger rate to a straight
twocents the mile fare. AS to be expected,
there is difference of opinion among the man
ayers regarding the effect of such a move because
it is something that can be demonstrated only by
a practical test
Some managers favor heartily the plan, while
others are dubious. 1t is argued that lower fare
would greatly increase the traffic on the passen-
ger trains, and this idea seems to have been dem
onstrated by the experiences in parts of the
West where lower passenger rate has resulted
in a large increase of travel If this is true of
the West, it would seem that in the thckly set
tied parts Of the country like in the East gen
eral reduction of rates would cause a large in
crease of travel Some of the officials who base
their opinions upon estimates of what would
likely happen, fear that general reduction of two
cents the mile would seriously hamper the roads
II is evident. however, that the only way cor
rect solution OF the problem can be reached is by
practical test
The enforced lower rate. il seems. would Grip
pie the roads more in the Southern States than
it would in the Middle and Eastern States, where
the railway traffic is much heavier than it is in
the South and, doubtless the Southern railway
managers have good reason to fear disaster in
the lower rate agitation that is going on in the
South, with the result that two-cent rate has
been established in some OF these States. Some
OF the smaller branches of the Pennsylvania road
even on this Peninsula. in the past have failed to
make expenses out of their passenger service. but
the loss was made up on the larger lines The
two-cent fare is different under varied conditions
But the fact that the railway managers them
selves are considering the matter is a sign that
II is upperrnost in their thoughts and they may
may find way TO demonstrate the actual FEAST
biiity Of general two-cent rate without Grip
pling their own incomes.

HIGHER BUSINESS LIFE.

THERE are, perhaps, some phases of the de-
\ velopment in commercial and business
circles during the last few years, the result of the
agitation led by President Roosevelt, which do
not appear largely upon the surface. 1t is doubt
ful whether they are even considered by the or
binary work-a-day person, busy with the strug-
gle for existence and intent upon making both
ends meet But these developments arc noted by
some Of the larger commercial and financial oper-
ators many of the far-seeing Of whom note a dis
tinct tendency towards higher level This ten
dency probably will develop into a permanent
improvement. Certainly we shall not retro

the tone of business may have the effect of lessen
ing temporary profits of concerns that rise for
moment to the heights of business prosperity
and then fall.
All Of this is hopeful. The constant preaching
in press, and magazine, in school, on the rostrum,
of sound and fair methods. is bound to have
beneficial effect Such talk is no longer regarded
as impractical, as it was in the days of Mark
Hanna and Senator German. The man who ad-

cepts into practice is not laughed at as a vision
airy, but is listened to at least with respect.
This is one Of the changes of the last few years
towards an advancement in sentiment to which
the President has largely contributed. In fact he
has been the actual leader in the movement.
