Rock Island to Build New Round
house in Topeka.
Ten-Stall Structure to Handle
Freight Business.
MORE RUNS COMING
Topeka More Important Point
on the Road.
Locomotives Standing on Tracks
Without Usual Care.

| Topeka's Importance as second dis
trict headquarters of the Rock Island
Lines Will be strengthened this year
when the new ten-stall roundhouse
provided for in the 1912 budget is
built. The budget is being prepared
by the general officers in Topeka at
this time 1t includes an appropria-
ton for a ten-staIl round house to
be constructed Immediately on the site
of the old house near the south ap-
proach of the Rock Island Kaw river
bridge
Topeka is situated between the two
important western terminals of the
ROCK Island Lines-Kansas City and
Her1ngton- A little more than so
miles east of Herington and so miles
west of Kansas City. The average
running terminal on the railroads in
TINS territory is $50 miles. This has
been adopted pretty generally as a
standard distance for train and en-
gine crews.
This means, on the face. that To-
peka IN all probability, never will be
freight terminal on the Rock Island.
But from the work of the road in the
past and the plans to build a ten-stall
roundhouse it is apparent that Topeka
IS regarded as a convenient location
for turn-around@ runs and for many
short local freight and passenger runs.
Locomotives Left in Open
Rock Island men in Topeka say that
Tor the last few months locomotives
of the road have been dumped and
have been left standing out in the
open until they were called for duty.
There was no room in the roundhouse
for them At almost any time in the
day or night from one to five freight
and passenger engines may be seen
standing in the Rock Island yards un-
able to be housed on account of the
lack of room
The new roundhouse will be built of
brick and concrete and will form a
semi circle facing the west on the site
of the present building. 1t will extend
from the north line of the old build
ing out into the space on the south
that has been filled with cinders in
the last few years.. The turntab1e now
in use will be capable of accOmm 0dat-
ing the equipment. The new building
will be much larger than the old and
will be of sufficient size to handle the
larger freight and passenger engin es
on the road and the locom olives that
have been ordered.
The heavy freight business of the
Rock Island Lines to the east does not
go by way of Kansas City. 1t reaches
Topeka after south and southwest
combinations at Herington and goes
north from this city to st. Joseph,
meeting the main line again at Alta
mont Mo. This means that a big
part of the freight traffic is diverted
at Topeka
With the local freight and passenger
runs out of this city and the other in
creasing freight crew and equipment
business terminating and turning here,
it is felt by Rock Island offlcisls that
a ten-stan roundhouse in Topeka will
not be too large for the necessary ac-
comm odations.
The new budget has many things in
store for the Improvement of the Rock
Island Lines in the state.

TARIFF WAR CERTAIN
NIacVeagh's Action on Wood Pulp VIII
Bring Retaliation.

Washington. Jan. 3.-A tariff war be-
tween the United States and Europe IS
practically assured. \ final ruling by
Secretary of the Treasury MacNeagh de-
MES to other nations the right of free en-
try of wood pulp, print paper and paper
ooard-a privilege now enjoyed by Can
ada alone.
Inasmuch as Germany has already di-
rectly charged this government with VIC
iatlon of the trade agreement and Nor
way. Sweden, Austria and Denmark have
made formal complaint to the state de-
partment. it is considered certain that
retaliation will result
As the first step in this direction, Ger
many has announced that it will be un-
a9le TO carry out its original intention of
offering to the United States the ad-
Tyantaseous rates given to Sweden and
Japan in recent treaties
