Santa Fe Establishes CONNER
cial Telephone Service.
First Of It's Kind ON Railways
in the United States.
FROM ANY STATION
No More Messages by Telegraph
Key in District.
other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

In speaking of the recent installa-
ton of telephone circuit on the
Santa Fe for commercial and message
use in place of the old time telegraph
key, L. M. Jones, superintendent of
telegraph with headquarters in To-
peka, under whose direction the new
venture was made. had the following
to say:
THE Santa Fe Railway company
just has opened for business a COM
| mercial telephone circuit for the ham
ding of Western Union business be-
tween Wichita and Waynoka, a dis
tance of 140 miles, also has placed in
between Wellington and Waynoka.
These circuits are operated on the
same principle as private branch
exchange.
For the commercial circuit, Wichi-
ia is the main office and has q call
ing. device whereby the operator at
that point can call any office on the
line. When the offices on the line
wish to send messages to Wichita it is
only necessary for the operator at the
way office to remove the receiver and
repeat the name of his station; or, if
he wishes to send a message to an
other way office, call for the office de-
sired. The operator at the main office
using his calling apparatus rings the
bell at the desired station and the
operator responds and takes the mes
sage. This is a distinct advantage over
| the telegraph for the reason there is
no delay in calling offices, such as is
experienced with the telegraph APP
paratus.
"The telephone circuit between
| Wellington and Waynoka is used ex-
clusively for the handling of railway
| the same manner as the commercial
| circuit. except that Wellington is the
main office.
"a new device has recently been
placed on the market known as a
calling key, which makes it possible
| to operate a message circuit under
the same plan as an automatic switch
| board exchange is now handled. This
up-to-date apparatus is soon to be
installed on the railway message cir
cult between Wellington and Way
nOka.
1.-THE Santa Fe will within the next
| three or four days place in operation
/ a railway message circuit between
Waynoka and Amarillo, and also. g
| commercial circuit between the same
| points and is now stringing the wire
| for two additional message circuit:
between Amarillo and Clovis; one fol
railway and one for commercial bust

Surveyors at Salina Cause Railroad
Stir in Kansas.
Salina, KAN, Sept. IA Union
Pacific surveying party under the
command of c. D. vorhis arrived in
Salina Monday evening.
The gang commenced work on the
Mcpherson branch and will go south
to Mcpherson. They are carefully as
pertaining all details in connection
with the work.
The arrival of the party renewed
the stories about a north and south
railroad. The chief surveyor stated
that they were not here to survey any
new railroads and that they knew
nothing about any north or south ex-
tensions.
1--WE are here to survey the rail-
road to ascertain it's valuation" said
Mr.. Vorhis. 1--WE will find out exact
ly the length and are making a care
full inspection of the rails and equip
ment."
So much for the surveyors But in
spite of their deniaIs many railroad
men refuse to believe that they are not
working on the Union Pacific's north
and south project. 1t is said that
slight changes are to be made in the
routing of the Mcpherson branch. A
new connection is to be built from
Mcpherson south to the Midland rail-
road, which connects with Denison
The Union Pacific has a big pile of

TWO HOLDING OUT.
Sioux City and Lincoln Still
Oppose Cooley Plans.
Management of Nebraska Town
sBlamss the Topeka Owner.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 12.-President Tip
O'Neill of the Western league has ask
ed for a mail vote by the club owners
on the question of sanctioning the sale
by Dick Cooley of the Topeka franchise
to Joplin, Mo, syndicate, which has
secured an option from Cooley good
until Sept. Is. Presidents Despair and
Fairweather of the Lincoln and Sioux
City clubs are at present opposed and
will not vote unless O'Neill personally
visits Joplin to investigate the desira-
bility of the zinc mining metropolis for
membership in the league.
1t has been expected for some time
that Cooley would make an attempt TO
dispose of the franchise as under the
circumstances it was impossible for
him to return to Topeka next year. At
tendance fell off in the latter place
about July 1, partly due to the low
position of the club in the race and to
the alleged indifference Of Cooley to
the standing of the club.
Shortly after that time Cooley COM
menced disposing of his players to tire
highest bidder and in six weeks had
sold practically every member of the
club whom he could secure an offer.
Harris, Wright, Kaufman, Boles, Ian
dreth, Thomson, Reilly and Wooi<S
went in rapid succession. The Topeka
fans were incensed at the bargain
counter methods and refused to go to
the games and Cooley began transfer
ring all of the home series.
Since that time the team has not re-
turned to Topeka, but continued on the
road continually, Cooley abandoning
the management to Abbott and re-
naming away from the club. Numerous
rurnors of the sale of the franchise
have been started and it is known that
Joplin has been after the franchise, but
I,ybether the other members will con-
sent to the transfer is another ques-
tion. O'NeilI will probably visit the
latter place to determine the ADVISABLE
ity Of moving the franchise there be-
fore final action is taken.
