Of special service to the Union Pacific
as on state fair days and other days
when the crowds coming in on the
Union Pacific trains will be larger than
usual.
The fact of the approach of fair
crowds to Topeka via Valley Falls and
consequently many of these people will
stop at the Santa Fe Junction depot,
calls attention TO the Wretched condf-
ton of the old shack It has been sug-
gested that the old depot be exhibited
along with the old and new trains
which the railroad will put on display
here. The shed is a fitting relic of the
early days of struggle of the now great
Santa F-e system At least it has been
proposed that the Santa Fe refer peo-
pie to the old ancient structure as an
object lesson in what once was, is still
yet but what shouldn't be any more.
The depot is the sore spot in the
eyes of the North side. It is falling to
pieces. Recently a force of men were
afraid to raise a sagging end for fear
the rotten roof would tumble in.
