MAY BECOME BRIGADE POST.
Fort Riley May Be Enlarged and Lose
Service School.

Junction City. Sept. 1.-On1y in the
gade post will the Mounted Service
school be removed to Virginia, accord
ing to reports received here. When
Secretary Garrison was at the post
Monday he was shown the plans for
charging the post to accommodate a
brigade. These plans were made sew
eral years ago and are complete in ev-
cry detail.
post. the Mounted Service school would
ginia and the buildings now occupied
a portion of the troops that would be
stationed there Thus in the removal
of the school, Fort Riley would not be
diminished in size, but greatly in
creased. Army officers are quick to
recognize the natural advantages of the
post and its large reservation and if
any posts in the Central division are to
be enlarged at this time, Fort Riley
stands a better chance than most, for
the topogra ply of the land meets all
requirements for extensive maneuVer-
ing, while the hundreds of acres of hay
land and pasture provide feed for the
army horses. and the large limestone
quarries furnish an endless supply of
the best building stone. All of these
advantages were pointed out to Secre
tary Garrison and Fort Riley's future
will receive due consideration from
him.

employees and others engaged in han
ding fuel. The Illinois Central has de-
cided to carry on an extensive CAM
paign of fuel economy. Last year the
road purchased 100000 tons of coal,
of which 4,GS5. 900 were used for locomo-
tives. The total cost of the fuel pur-
chased last year was S., 300, 900. In the
lectures to employees the inspector i'm
presses upon them how easy it is to
save coal. If but l cents worth out of
each ton is saved the road profits $4,000
annually. One SCOOP saved in every
ton means an annual saving of $SS,000
while one-fourth of a ton saved means
S250.O00 to the corpora ton. Scientific
firing, which is being taught, is counted
upon to decrease the consumption of
coal and also decrease tho black smoke
nuisance.

VACATIONS COSTLY TO ROADS.
Expense to Santa Ee and Rock Island
Reaches Millions.


The vacation season is now well I'M
der way in all branches of business
activity It is doubtful, however if the
practice of granting vacations to en-
ployees is adhered to with greater reg
ularity than is done by the American
railroads. All OF the employees of the
various transportation systems, from
the executives to the humblest men
in the service, are given an opportun-
ity to enjoy Il relaxation from duty and
a rest amid such environments as may
be regarded as most desirable.
This means that in every department,
at this season of the year, the force is
lacking its full complement of en-
ployeeS. In order that vacat ions may
be had by all, the schedule is arranged
SO that the work may be kept going
while the regular employees are absent
and SO that there will be no back work
to be caught up after the returning
On any of the larger railroads like
an average of 10000 men at an aver
age monthly compensation of $40 1t
would appear that granting each en-
plOyee a two weeks vacation with full
pay would entail an expense of ap-
proXimately S2.500,000; but this is obvi-
sponsibilities by the employees, who
thus obtain valuable experience which
fits them for promotion.

They Persist I'M It.

The twin city reports of action by
the senate committee on temperance
include Bemidji with Moorhead and
East Grand Forks as opposing the
Nelson bill. In spite of the fact that
letters from Bemidji have fairly
poured in on our representative and
senator protesting against the Nc
Donald statements as standing for the
actual sentiment in Bemidji, the
twin city press persists in assuming
his statements as true. Bemidji fay
ored the Nelson bill but believes that
the one now recommended by the
committee is better since it provides
for graded reduction. Bemidji is
strongly in favor Of the one to 500
saloon ratio.
