RAILROAD NEWS.
Entertainers Would Play on
Santa Fe Circuit.
Superintendent Reading Rooms
Receives Many Requests.
In FAVOR OF WORK.
Employees Pack Halls Where
Entertainments Are Held.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

The annual report of S. E. Busser,
superintendent of reading-rooms, for
the season of 1910-1911, forcefully pre-
sents the excellent advantages accru-
ing from the free entertainments given
along the line, says the Santa sFe EN-
ployes' Magazine.
with each ensuing year interest in
these entertainments has increased and
talent of a higher class has been en-
gagged. Today Mr.. Busser is receiving
applications from all over the United
States, from leading singers, educators
and lecturers, asking to be placed on
the Santa F'e circuit. He has on file
an application from a prima donna or
Vienna, one from a noted lecturer OF
London and one from a chorus of the
best singers of Sweden all of which
clearly indicates that the policy of the
Santa Fe to furnish it's employees with
the very best in the way of entertain
ment is becoming world famous.
LAS for the employees themselves, the
packed attendance at each perform
ance speaks eloquently of their appre-
citation. Frequently it has been neces-
sary to engage larger space than that
afforded by the reading-roomS, and
readers who have followed closely the
Among Ourselves items during the
past year will remember how enthu-
siastie and grateful have been the ex-
pressions from the various towns where
these entertainments were given
ct is rather remarkable that, out of
three hundred and seventy-six concerts
given on the line last season only one
date was missed, the failure being due
to trouble with a freight train on Ra-
ton Mountain. Considering that these
dates are made consecutively between
Chicago and California and that nu-
merous trains are taken by each COM
pany, such a record makes strong
showing for our operating department
MANY of the entertainers along our
lines during the past season have been
ladies, frequently unaccompanied by
male escorts. Mr.. Busser states that
every report he has received from these
ladies indicates that they were treated
with every courtesy by everyone in
Santa Fe service, and that they never
met with offensive language or received
in the remotest sense offensive treat
ment on our lines. So much for the
Chesterfie1dian qualities and the NOR
ale of Santa F'e men-strong recon-
mendation to the travelling public-and
it is safe to assert that each of these
ladies, who carried away such refresh
ing impressions, will pass them along
effectively among her friends-and this
surely is good advertising and also
most gratifying to US all.
1.-The twofold benefits accruing to the
company and to the employee from this
welfare policy scarcely can be esti-
mated. The pleasure and enlighten-
ment of the one means more depend
able and intelligent worknen for the
other, and again does the spirit of
teamwork manifest itself to those who
travel Santa F'e all the way"

Salina, Kan. Aug. 17-Just now
there is a sudden quietude of news re-

1t is said that this is the quiet just
before the storm. At the Salina head
quarters the answer to an inquiry for
news just now is always the same:
''Wait until the boys get back from
New York. Then there will be some
thing to say
The contract for constructing the
1850 miles of line has already been
let to the Brindley Construction com
pany. The Brindley company has an
nounced that it will have a force of
men here soon.
Officials of the road will return from
New York in a short time and it is
rumored that when they get back
there will be an important announce
ment. There is nothing left to an
nounce save the date when the con-
struction begins. The promise has al
ready been made that trains will be
running out of Sa1ina December l.
H. Leone Miller, president of the
line, stated that there would be no
news until the party returns from New
York and then there will be some-
thing worth while printing.
