Coffeyville, KAN. March 2.-Unless
the baseball enthusiasts of this city get
a move on them ard show the owners
of the local franchise a little encour-
agement Coffeyvtlle may not get to see
any league ball this season after all
President Gross of the local club Is
somewhat discouraged with the treat
nent he is receiving at the hands OF
the people here and it is possible that
the Coffeyville franchise will be trans
ferred to Pittsburg. That city is more
than anxious to buy the local fran
chise and it is understood that Presf-
dert Gross has been offered very in
viting price for it, In speaking about
the matter today Mr.. Gross said that
he had received a, proposal from Pitts
burg. but that no definite action had
been determined upon as yet.
''I would hate to transfer the league
franchise" said Mr.. Gross in a CONVEX
sation with Secretary Elliott Irwin OF
the Chamber OF Commerce, "but the
people here don't seem to be taking
enough interest in the enterprise. The
city of Coffeyville is very lucky to Sc
cure a place in the league owing to
its size. 1t is the first time in its his
tory that it has been offered an oppor-
tunity to see class G professional ball
played, but as yet it is showing mighty
little appreciation.

The Rock Island Employees Maya
zine for the month Of March has Just
reached Topeka. 1t is one of the best
numbers in the history of the publica-
ton and deserves special mention.
More photographs, livelier news arti-
cles, and additional features reflect
credit upon the editor of the magazine,
Mr.. Harley E. Reisman.
The Rock Island Employees Maya

LEGATION can touch among railroad men.
1t comes nearer the desk and the
hearth than any other railway period
icaL An employee will glance through
1t at the office and then take it home
to enjoy in evening hours.
Editor Reisman has a series of de-
partments that are of interest to
everyone in the family of a railroad
man. The first page is devoted to up
lifting quotations from prominent men.
Then full page cut of one of the gen.
eral officers Of the Rock Island. Then

A railroad employees magazine is a
liberal education to the employees of
the road. General officials use this
medium to have "heart-to-heart" talks
with the employees and explain to
them complications in the depart
ments. The news along the lines Of
the road is boiled down until the en-
ployee can get better acquainted with
his road through this information. Per-
sonals keep him in touch with old
friends and associates. Photographs of
current events serve the purpose Of a
national weekly Current news of gen.
eral interest give to him in concise
form the doings of the day.
The best feature Of the magazine is
the loyalty it creates among its rail-
road readers. Constantly pushing it's
road to the front and declaring itself
proud of the fact, the employees mag
azine gives birth to similar feelings in
the minds of it's readers-and it nour-
ishes them.
The railroad employees magazine is
truly an upbuilder of loyalty and en-
thusiasm and merit among the readers
in the office. in the caboose and along
the ties If it wasn't why would sucn
successful and important roads as the
Santa Fe. the Pennsylvania, the Hi
nois Central and the Rock Island take
1t up?
The question needs no answer.

RECOGNITION FOR FRED JONES.
Topeka Rock Island Man Written Up
in Employees Magazine.

in Employees Magazine.
In a special feature article boxed
IN on an entire page, the Rock Island
Employees magazine for this month
draws a moral among railroad men
from railroad item taken from the
columns of the State Journal some
time ago.
The feature story points out the new
born theory that railroad employees
should be always courteous and polite
to patrons of the road. Why a rail-
road official should be courteous to a
patron needs no explanation to the
average person who travels. A con-
ductor who will stop in the aisle, listen
TO your query and answer it to the
best of his ability is one of the big
gest assets to railroad. And a pas
senger office employee who is always
willing to offer information concern
ing the arrival and departure of
trains, the price of tickets, the Pull
man reservation chances and the stop
over privileges means more than a
railroad can appreciate.
The following is the manner in
which the Rock Island Employees
magazine treated the subject:
Railway employees and public
opinion.
Station agents and passenger train
conductors, more than all other rail-
way employees, are an important fac
tor in molding public opinion of the
railway industry as a whole, because
they come in contact with the patrons
of the railways, numbering many mil
lions of persons annually, OF which
number about 20 millions annually are

Rirht on the Job.

At the time Dewey captured the
islands, there was only one lighthouse
in operation in the Philippines waters
that on Cape Melville, Balabac island,
south of the island Of Palawan. and
marking the entrance between the
China sea and the Sulu sea. AS is the
custom in time of war, the Spanish au-
thorities had ordered all lighthouses to
have their light extinguished when it
was discovered that an attack on Ma
Mia was threatened. by the American
navy. 1t appears that this order was
carried out at all other places, except
at the lighthouse mentioned above,
where the order was never received.
The keeper of this light kept his light
burning up to June 30. 1899. without as
sistance, and was paid for his services
from May 1. 1898. to- that date by the
Philippine government = Philippines
