SANTA FE MAGAZINE GROWS.
Employees Publication by Editor Nc
Rae Popular Move.

"The Santa Fe Employees maya
zine has at least proven so successful
that half a dozen other big railway
systems are following the lead of the
Santa Fe in this matter" said Albert
McRae of Chicago the other day in
the Albuquerque Journal. Mr.. McRae
is managing editor and founder of
the Santa Fe Employees magazine,
the monthly publication issued pri-
marily in the interest of Santa F'e en-
ployees, but which has gone further
and developed into an exponent Of the
industry and art and literature and
history of the southwest. The maya
zine is in fact unique in that 1T is a
newspaper. technical publication and
at the same time a real magazine of
wide general interest and highly ar
tistic and literary standard. According
to Mr.. McRae, the Rock Island and
the Frisco and several other of the
big western systems which have
watched the meteoric rise of this mag
azine and seen its practical usefulness
are all following the Santa Fe exam
pie and starting similar publications.
Mr.. McRae says that some seventy
thousand copies of the magazine are
now issued every month in Chicago
and distributed over the system so
that every agent along the Santa Fe
lines has them on hand the night of
the fourteenth so they may be handed
out to employees with the pay checks
on the following day. In this connec-
ton it is interesting to note that four
years ago, when the magazine was
first started, there were only $1,000
employees on the system.

SCHULTZ JOINS PHILLIEs.
Penn. Pitcher FTunked Himself Out
OF University.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 1S.-t'TootS'
Schultz. probably the greatest college
pitcher in years. has turned profess
sional. He will be seen this season in
the uniform of the Philadelphia Ma
tional league club, with which he
signed several weeks ago with the I'M
Outstanding that the fact of his signing
should be kept secret until such time
as he severed his connection with the
University of Pennsylvania, for which
he has won so many games.
Last year Shultz was in the engin-
eering department of the college. He
ran behind so in his studies that he
could not make up his dement's in
that department, and applied to the
faculty to be allowed to enter the arts
department.
The faculty considered this PROPOSE
ton today, and while none would be
directly quoted, it is known that all
sorts of pressure was brought upon
some of the members to allow Shultz
to remain in the university.
The faculty refused absolutely to
place athletics above scholarship.

WILL PLAY BASEBALL.

Contrary to the plan of many Mis-
souri, valley schools to drop baseball
the coming season, Washburn will
support a team.
Two games are scheduled with Kan
sas university, two with the Aggies and
one with st. Marys. Other games will
be asked for when it is determined
how much money is available from the
athletic fund. Baseball is always a
losing proposition, and the sport can
only be INDUCED for its own sake.
The first game scheduled is with
Kansas at Lawrence April 13. Then
the team goes to Manhattan for two
games on the 25th and 26th of April.
Kansas comes to Topeka May Is and

Denver. Feb. 1S.-After a weeks alb
sence in the east. during which time he
visited New York, Chicago. Pittsburg
and half-dozen other big eastern cit
les and incidentally stopped off in ST.
Joseph, Mo-, for the Western League
schedule meeting, Jimmy McGill reach
ed home last evening. He brought home
with him the contracts of Jack Coffey
and Johnnie Beall, but he had no new
players under his wing as was expect
ed.
II tried almost every club in the big
leagues in an effort to get a third base
man and an outfielder, but was unsuc-
cessful. I made offers for several men,
but as yet have received no definite
answer to my propositions. 1 have
plenty of time, however, to sign the
men needed this year and would pre-
Ter TO wait until can get some good
men rather than take second-class
players that are now being offered for
sale.
II was agreeably surprised with Jack
Coffey. Denver's new shortstop whom /
recently purchased from Indianapolis.
He is a fine looking fellow, as big as
Johnnie Beall; weighs 1874 pounds, and
looks every inch a ball player. He was
not unwilling to come to Denver to
play, but had delayed signing his con-
tract in an effort to land an eastern

McGill had little or nothing to say
about the schedule meeting at ST. Joe
Jack Hendricks was with him at the
meeting and the two had a long con-
ference over next years team. Both

Kansas is populated with some OF
the greatest railroads in the country.
Her rich lands are tapped with new
lines every year. The residents OF the
state have learned that it was through
the help of the railroads that the pros
perity of Kansas was secured. As
result the farmer who reads his daily
papers watches the railroad news and
the railroad operations-he even has
the general officials tapping on his
door in search Of harmony"
So when Kansas says that the Mis-
souri, Pacific is lined up to become the
biggest money maker in the state by
its rich tappings, Kansas knows and
the president in his mahogany chair
in st. Louis should not pass II by as
idle gossip.
Kansas is ready to scratch the back
of the Missouri Pacif1c-if the Mis-
souri, Pacific will only scratch back.

Frisco Plans to Reach Iron Ore Fields
In Northeast Texas.


Galveston, Tex, Feb. 1s.-The pur-
chase Of a lumber railroad in east
Texas, with right of way Of about
f1fty-ffve miles brings to light another
railroad project to be fostered by the
Frisco system to get into the iron ore
fields of Cass and Bowie counties in
northeast Texas. The Santa Fe is now
building into the iron fields, In which
it is known Schwab and his associates
control the greatest portion of the iron.
The new road. which is to be built as
an Independent line by eastern CAPT.
ta1ists. headed by J. P. Terrell of Chi
cago, will form a part of the Frisco
thur due north to Cass county, pene-
trating rich oil and lumber territory,
and conn Getting above Beaumont with
the Frisco's New Orleans line. also
with the Frisco's road from Orange.
also with The Kansas City Southern
and with the Texas & Pacific at Mar
shall. This line will pass through the
counties Of Newton, Sabine, Shelby,
Pamela, Harrison and Cas-
It will give the Frisco system line
into new territory in which the Santa
Fe has held monopoly, and is now
building a 10o-mile extension. 1t will
likewise give the Frisco an outlet at
three points for its lumber and oil and
rice shipments, with a line running d.
rect to Port Arthur, Galveston and
New Orleans. It is understood that
three short lumber roads extending
eastward and westward from the route
of the new line have been purchased
and will serve as Feeders to the new
road, extending almost on straight
line from the gulf to Cass county.
Three construction contracts will be
let for the different sections and they
will no doubt be known as different
roads, but when completed they will
be transferred to the Frisco system as
a valuable 2O0-mile extension.

No Action Taken ON tourist Rates

NO AcI1On IdkSn on AOurISt I6dGeS.
Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Rickering be-
tween Representatives of both eastern
and western railroads over summer
tourists rates resulted in no action be-
ing taken on the subject at the meet
ings Of the Central and Transconti-
mental Passengers associations. Sew
eral of the eastern lines are in favor
of making an increase, out the stand
taken by the Grand Trunk against
such program has resulted SO far in
checking that move. After a confer
ence lasting several hours, during
which there was a considerable
amount of heated dispute, the Central
Passenger association adjourned with
the understanding that the summer
tourist rate will be further discussed
at a meeting to be held next month.
At the meeting of the Transconti-
mental Passenger association it devel-
oped that some of the roads favor an
increase of 50 to Pacific coast points
this summer, and that others want to
add SIS to the usual rate. Failure of
the eastern roads to increase prices for
summer tourist travel, however, acted
as check, and it was concluded to
postpone action until the March meet

Washburn indoor and track ath-
letics are receiving greater attention
than ever before and considering that
these branches of sport are only in
the period of permanent establishment
at the college the outlook is very
promising.
Efforts along these lines until the
new gymnasium was erected two
years ago were desultory and success
spasmodic. With the employment of
w. L. Driver as athletic director, a
new system was inaugurated last fall
with the purpose of training men for
track and basketball so as to have a
list of material always available in
stead of depending entirely upon en-
rolling athletes already proficient.
The next attraction on the Wash
burn calendar is the basketball game
with Baker university at the Thomas
gymnasium Monday night. On it's re-
cent trip through the eastern part of
the state and Missouri, in which a
percentage of 500 was made. the
Washburn five was defeated by Baker.
The Methodists have maintained a
winning basketball team for years and
the game Monday night promises to
be a holly contested one.
