RAILWAY NOTES.

Early in October President Bush Of
the Missouri Pacific and Presiden
Winchell of the Frisco are to make a.
trip over the track south of Memphis
preparatory to arrangements for joint
operation.
A vastly greater number of railway
employees go to work every day than
there were soldiers in the northern
army during the Civil war. Practically
a regiment of men is in active service
for every hundred miles of railroad.
In 1910, 81, 100000 was paid in
wages to 1.69s,O00 railroad employees.
The magnitude of the total wages
paid by the railways is perhaps best
understood when we compare it with
what we consider our greatest indus
try-farming. The total wages paid
by farmers are only one-third those
paid by railroads, and the rate paid
by not only farming, but other in
per capita than that paid by the rail-
roads.
The rapid increase of the flying
machine industry has led the Texas
railroad commission to announce that
aeroplanes will hereafter be classified
as to freight rates by themselves in
stead of as miscellaneous machinery.
B. Casey, who has been local freight
agent for the Santa F'e Railway COM
pany at Temple. Tex, during the past
year, has resigned. A numerousIy
signed petition with the signatures of
practically all the business men and
large shippers of Temple was for
warded to General Freight Agent
Hershey requesting the appointment
of Charles L. Whitley, the appoint

cling auditor of the Santa Fe, to the

DECREASE IN SURPLUS CARS.
Lowest Number in United States Since
Last December.

A strong upward tendency in railroad
freight traffic, as indicated by the ex-
tent to which the roads are making use
of their equipment, is shown by the
committee on relations between rail-
roads of the American Railway associd-
ton.
The bulletin shows that for the period
ending September 80, the total number
of surplus freight cars on the roads or
the United States, Canada and Mexico
had been reduced to 1922, which is the
lowest figure reported since December
21 last year. This represents a decrease
in two weeks of 1914 cars, of which
1859 are box cars, 5,454 coal cars and
4414 miscellaneous.
The report further shows, however
that there are still more cars side
tracked owing to lack of demand for
them than for the corresponding period
of last year. when total of but 54,S90
was reported
The demand for box cars in the
northwest to handle the grain is con-
sidered responsible for the decrease IN
surplus equipment.

be given at the Congress hotel by the
fans and boosters of the city. The ban
quet will take place either Sunday or
Monday evening. The latter date is
preferred if the members of the ball
club can arrange to stay over. The
purpose is to show the ball club and
Pueblo's representative in the prize

they have done towards advertising

ball club the banquet will not be held
until the seasons end has been reached

SANTA FE WORK IN COLORADO.

ment task is we'll under way. The
Santa F'e is making ready to extent
and build sidetracks between Pueblo
and Denver. Completion of the work
will be virtually equivalent to the
doubletracking of the line
The distance from Denver to Pueblo
is 10 miles. The plans of the COM
pany call for sidings, of sufficient

freight train, every five miles of the
distance between the two cities Sid
ings now in use will be extended and
SidetrackS of heavy steel Will be laid
in order to carry out the plan of hav-
ing long siding five miles apart. The
work will cost 81. 900, 900.
The most reliable information from q
variety of sources agrees upon one
thing and that is that the Santa Fe IS
going after the Denver business and is
spending millions of dollars to accom-
pIish this end. These conclusions are
borne out by recent developments. It
has been determined definitely that the
extensive purchasing of property west
of the Denver city hall, which has been
going on for the last eight months has
been in the interests of the Santa Fe.
