KATY LAYING HEAVY STEEL.
Follows Suit of Other Roads Near
Parsons and Moran

Parsons, Kan, Jan. 15.-The laying of
90-pound steel rails by the Santa Fe
through here has been duly chronicled.
exploited and specialized about. It is
also stated that the Missouri Pacific,
among the numerous betterments con-
templated, plans to lay heavier steel
through here. with possible intention
of running Pacific coast trains from St.
Louis through here. And now the M.
K. & T., not to be left outside, is busily
engaged in putting down heavier steel
on it's line through Moran. and will
improve the branch through lola with
rails taken from the other line. So
1910 promises to be a year of decided
railroad improvement for lola
The steel which is being laid through
here is the heaviest that is ordinarily
used for railroads built through level
country. The rails are called Eighty
five pound steel' which means that the
net weight is 85 pounds to the yard. The
rails are each II yards long and weigh
935 pounds. To handle this great weight
with the required speed and accuracy
and prepare the rails and ties for it, a
crew of rs to 100 men is required.

FOR BIG BUSINESS
Santa F'e to Increase Train Service and
Motive Power.

San Bernardino. Cal. Jan. 15.-The
Santa Fe company is getting ready for
a big increase in both its freight and
passenger business. This increase will
be due to the taking off OF the trans:
continental train service of the SAT-
Lake road, which was given publicity
in yesterday evenings Index the
Salt Lake has during the few years
that the company has operated an
overland line. worked up an immense
business in both passenger and freight
and, owing to the taking off OF trains
for five or six months, it is up to the
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific to
handle the business.
The Santa Fe will undoubtedly get
a large portion of the traffic handled
by the Salt Lake.
This increase will necesSltate put
ting on more trains, increasing the
passenger overlands, and adding more
freights To take care of this more
motive power and equipment viii be
necessary and more than the Santa Fe
has on hand at the present time.
To supply the locomotives and cars
arrangements will be made with the
Salt Lake company to use such equip
ment as they will not use, and places
will be made for Salt Lake tra1nmen
where possible, while the Santa Fe viii
add to its active force.
Before the storms of last week the
Santa Fe was endeavOring to secure
locomotives from the Salt Lake. as the
former company is short of such
equipment. so that with a greater
for more power is imperative and the
natural source is the Salt Lake com
pany. which will have lots of rolling
stock idle.

STOCKING UP ON ICE.
Union Pacific Takes Advantage of Cold
Weather and Fills Houses.

Salina, Kan, January 15.-The Union
Pacific Railway company has taken
advantage of the recent cold weather
to fill its ice houses, and many car
loads of ice have been coming in here
every week for the past three weeks
from various places in Nebraska and
Kansas where the company cuts it's
ice supply.
The work of filing the Salina ice
house has been completed The ice is
unusually good this year and the COM
pany has stored 1928 tons here.
The railroad company uses an
enormous amount of ice in its various
ice houses along the line, and by cut
ting it's own ice supply it is able to
save large sums of money.
Here at Salina it has been the prac-
tice in previous years to put the ice
into the ice house by means of an in
cline plane or chute. This year the
company installed a small hoisting en-
CINE, and has been able to lift the
ice directly off the cars and into the
ice house.

BIG FRUIT MOVEMENT.
Santa Fe Carrying Hundreds of Cars
for Eastern Territory.

movement of fruit over the Santa Fe IS
rapidly gathering in volume. Last night
the largest number of cars this season
went over the hill" bound for the east,
the fruit trains containing SO cars of
oranges and lemons.
The week also saw the largest num-
Der of cars started eastward, a total of
331 passing through the local yards OF
this number only Is moved Monday and
Tuesday on account of the washouts
blocking traffic. No cars moved at all
on Monday.
Due to the increase in fruit movement
the Azusa pickup is already in service,
as is the loop extra The other pickup
trains will be put on within a short
time if the movement maintains it's
present volume.

RETURN TO DIES MONIES.
Three BAH Players Sold to White Sox
Repurcllased.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 15.-William
Dwyer, Phillip Kerner and John A.
Niehoff. three of the players sent up
by Des Moines at the end-o the sea-
son to the Chicago White Sox, were
yesterday resold to John F. Higgins.
the owner of the Des Moines team.
1t had been more or less expected
that Niehof and Kerner would spend
another year with Des Mo;nes, but it
had been believed THAI Dwyer would
be given a chance for the first base
position with the Sox. but Owner
Higgins evidently prevailed upon Com
iskey to give back to Des Mofnes its
manager and the Old Roman was kind
hearted enough to do it,
The team is now pretty well round
ed out with the exception Of the
pitchers and perhaps an outfielder
and infielder. The pitching staff is
numerous now, but there is no one on
it who can compare with LANCE and
Miller and they are the ones who
did so much to bring the champion
ship to Des Moines. However, there
is no doubt but what President Hfg-
gins will pick up another twirler or
two before the season begins and Des
Moines will be able to start out at
fast pace.
For outfielders now Des Moines has
Curtis, Kerner. Bader. and Chouinard.
1t is possible that another hard hitting
outfieIder will be needed. The first
three men named are hard llitters, but
not one of them has shown ability to
play the sun field position. Dalton
made a wonderful record out there
last year. The inf1eId will be made up
of Dwyer at first Niehoff at third, Col
ligan at short, Lewis, MacManus and
Raedel behind the bat, Barngrover,
Nelson. Biersdorfer, McGregor.
Hersche and Kirwan for pitchers, and
Williams at second base after he gets
here. Bader will probably be used at
second until Williams comes.
This lineup will work well if one or
two good pitchers can be secured. The
infield should do much better work
than last year.

TAFT is FOR 1T.
Gives His Endorsement to Civil
Service Pension.

Washington, Jan. 15-President
Taft has given his endorsement to the
movement looking to a civil service
pension system.
This was done in an address at the
executive Offices to members of the
civil service retirement association. In
addition to expressing his sympathy
the president said that while he had
done all he could in that direction by
his recommendations to congress, he
would still retain an interest in the
matter and take measures to infiu-
ence the legislative body in favor of a
pension system.

WILL BUILD CONCRETE BRIDGE
Santa Fe to Duplicate Famous Santa
Ana Structure

SANTA re 10 Duplcate Famous santa
Ana Structure.
San Bernardino. Cal, January 10
The Santa Fe may duplicate the Salt
Lakes famous concrete bridge over
the Santa Ana at Pedley with a SINH
lar structure over the same river be-
tween Mentone and Highland, on the
loop line At present there is an old
and rather uncertain wooden bridge
spanning the river on the loop line,
and this was partly washed away dur
ing the recent storm.
When the trestle was first put in 1t
was stated by the engineers that it
very likely would, not remain, but
would be washed out almost every
season. That was several years ago,
and although there have been many
hard rains the trestle has stood the
strain until this year. Now, it is said,
the plan is to replace the trestle with
a concrete bridge that will be Immune
from washouts. ---..--.
