Wichita, Kan, Jan. lot will be
well, nigh impossible for another seri-
Gus wreck to occur on the Wichita
division of the Santa Fee after Sunday
January Is. At that time the block
vice between Wichita and Arkansas
City. The block system is the best
known preventive of wrecks.
For more than a year the Santa Fe
has been planning to operate the block
signals on the Newton to Arkansas
City division. Unfortunately the date
set to begin the operation of this sys-
tenn was January Is, just ten days
after the disastrous wreck at Mulvane
Thursday night.
stations will be opend by the Santa Fe
between Newton and Arkansas City
January Is.
These new stations will give the
Santa Fe telegraph Office at ap-
proXimately every five miles of the
distance from Newton to Arkansas
City. These stations are equipped with
both telegraph and telephone connec-
tons. All train dispatching will be
done by telephone.
The block system of signals abso-
1utely prevents the running of two
trains on a stretch of track between
adjoining stations. Before any train
can pass signal station the track
must be clear for the entire distance
to the next station. And once a train
has entered a certain stretch of track
no operator at either end may permit
another train to enter the same stretch
until the first train is clear of it.
The Santa FEE has been operating the
block signal system both north and
south of the Newton to Arkansas City
division. In fact practically all of its
eastern and southern lines have been
equipped with the system for several
years. The completion of this last
link gives the Santa Fe a block signal
system for the entire distance from
Chicago to Galveston.

RECALLS OLD DAYS IN OTTAWA
Arthur Spears Prizes Map That Now
Is Interesting.

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. 10-Arthur Spears
is in possession of an old map of the
city of Ottawa, made in 1872. The map
is birds eye view of the city looking
from the north side of the river, and in
a southwesterly direction. Ottawa pre-
sents peculiar appearance when COM
pared with what it is at the present
time. The town was practically bound
ed by Poplar street on the east, the
river on the north, Ash street on the
west, and Seventh street on the south.
There were some struggling houses
outside these limits, but they were few.
The map is labeled Birds eye view
of ottawa, the largest city of its age
in Kansas The population at that
time was given as 1000, although the
map as shown would seemingly make
it crowded with a population of 5000.
At the base of the map are the pictures
of numerous buildings of that time.
Science hall, which comprised the uni
versity at that time, was seemingly far
cut in the country south of town, and
cost, so it was labeled, $4,000. Wash
ington school was seen on its present
site, while Park street, instead of end
ing at Main is cut through to Walnut
street. The space where DR.. Davis
residence is situated, was filled with
houses.
The City park of today was labeled
college park" while the Baptist
church was located on Main street near
Fourth Every house in the city at
that time is on the map, While the trees
and streets are carefully shown. The
old l. L. & @. round house is across
the river on the north side, while on
the track is to be seen one OF the Old
fashioned engines of that date. MT
spears prizes the map highly and is
having it framed in order to better pre-
serve it.
