Aemet to Have New pepot


Hemet, Col, Aug. 21.-After a year
Of effort on the part Of the CONNER
cial club and individual citizens,
Hemet is to have new railway sta
tion, representing an outlay Of $4,000.
The Santa Fe company, through Cen
eral Manager Hibbard, has sent word
that work will be commenced at once.
The blue prints Of the proposed struc-
ture show the depot to be much larg-
er and better equipped than the usual
station in the average town. The new
depot will face on Florida avenue,
just west of Front street, and win
have a length Of 175 feet, north and
south The estimated cost is in the
neighborhood Of $4,000, OF which the
salvage of the old depot which will be
connected with the new building ana
used as a freight room, is $1,7O0. The
new depot will be splendidly adapted
to the needs of the city. The entrance
will be rooted cement open space,
with something Of a pergola effect,
1Sx24, and the main waiting room
will be 20x24, with comfortable seat
ing arrangements, wash rooms, toilets,
water coolers and all the comforts
provided in the larger cities. The Of
flee room and equipment is modern
in every way and provides ample
room for the employees. The freight
rooms are 24x11O feet, with indoor
scales, convenient approaches, special
baggage equipment and is calculated to
meet the needs of the city for many
years.

WHAT'S HAPPENING
ON THE RAILROADS
Santa Ee Wants More Rails


The Santa Fe has made inquiries
Of the large steel companies in re-
gard to placing an order for 10000
tons of rails.
FOR Mechanical Reduction
One way in which the number OF
engine failures may be greatly reduc
ed and the cost Of locomotive main
tenance cut down is to nave complete
data furnished to the mechanical IN
gineer's office covering each defecaiye
part whether it is cracxed, broken
or badly worn, and regardless OF
whether it caused an engine failure or
was found while the engine was be
ing cleaned or repaired. One man
should be assigned to study and class
ify this data in order to determine
just what steps should be taken to inn
prove conditions. In some cases q
radical change in design may be nee
essary, in other a slight change or
Encouragement of the parts or appara-
tus may eliminate the trouble, while
in still other cases it may be neces-
sary to change the grade Of material
used for the purpose. Unless this is
done it is quite possible on a road
Of average size for given part to
fail on several locomtives during
year and yet remain unnoticed because
the failures may have taken place at
different points, ana in some cases
may not have been noticed at head
quarters because they did not result
in engine failures. It is only by tabu
lating and classifying the various de-
fects for the entire system and taking
into consideration the number of loco
motives on which each particular part
is used, that conditions can be intel
ligently improved to reduce the num-
F.. Der of failures with minimum ex-
penditure of the time and money to
procure the best results. If records
of this kind are kept and classified
for a period of several years, it is pos
sible to quickly and accurately de-
termine just what parts can be at
tackled with the best results. If rec
ords Of this kind are not kept, then
the scrap pile offers the next best
opportunity for securing information
as to the failure of the various parts
This is particularly true where CON
ditions make it necessary to ship all
of the scrap which is to be sold, to
one central part Of the system For
instance, when the Santa Fe estab-
lished the scrap plant at Corwith, ILL.,,
those in charge noticed that as the
scrap was sorted out certain parts
which were used in equipment that
had only been on the road for a few
years, appeared in large numbers. In
vestigation showed that these parts
had failed, due to defective design,
ana the purchasing agent was there
fore in a position to ask the builders
to furnish new parts of better de-
sign at no expense to the railroad,
thus preventing the continuance of
failures and resulting in consider
able saving.-Railway Age Gazette.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 21.-Ac-
Icording to information received from
what is considered a reliable source,
the Santa Fe railroad will assume the
ownership and control of the Oklahoma
Central in the immediate future, prob
ably on September 1. Since the adop-
ton by an overwhelming vote Of the
amendment to Article 8, Section 3 of
the state constitution to permit the
buying and selling of railroad lines in
Oklahoma, reports have been circulat-
ed freely to the effect that the Santa
Fe was negotiating with the Oklaho-
ma Central with the view of taking it
over, For many years past, ever
since the building of the smaller line,
It has been rumored that the two lines
would be consolidated whenever it
could be done without violation of the
state laws Dorset Carter, President
of the Oklahoma Central and builder
of the system, has favored and active
ly supported all the proposed amend
ment to the Article 9, Section 9. He
has been anxious to sell his line to
the Santa Fe or to some other large
railroad operating in the state. as it
cannot be operated with profit as an
independent line.
Corporation Commissioner George
A. Henshaw who assisted in the pre-
paration of the amendment. which was
adopted August 5, stated Tuesday
that he knew that owners and officials
of the Santa Re and Oklahoma Cen
tral had been negotiating with view
of consolidating the two systems, but
he said he did not know that the deal
had been closed. That the deal had
been closed would not be surprising TO
him, he said
Attorneys Bledsoe and Cottingham
who represent the Santa Fe lines IN
Oklahoma, were out of the city Tues
day. Assistants in their office knew
nothing of the purported deal between
the two lines, The Santa Fe has not
made application to the corporation
commission for permission to take
over the Oklahoma Central, but as no
difficult in securing such permission
is expected it is of little concern
whether it has or not Application
could be made, and permission grant

He also read a statement, made by

against it, but it was defeated by the
Republican members of the House.
He appealed to the voters of the dis
trict to give Mr.. Cargill loyal support
in his run for alderman. He said it
would be well for the city to have a
Democratic mayor and Democratic
board of aldermen, that there might be
no division of responsibility. Then, he
said, If the administration did not
make good, the voters would know
where to place the blame. He remind
ed his hearers that on Friday night al

cover in detail all the issues of the
campaign.
Three hearty cheers were given fol
all the candidates, winding up the
rally at 9:30 O'Clock.

record of this as contained in the black
book that the district attorney will
make the basis for an investigation.

PUBLIC OPINION

To the Editor of The Farmer. Sir;
For several years have been a reg
u1ar visitor at the a1mshouse and have
thus become familiar with conditions
there which should be known by every
voter in the city before he casts his
ballot on the proposed bond issue for a
new alrnshouse.
From my first acquaintance with
Lakeview I have been impressed with
the extreme danger to which it's in
mates would be exposed in case of fire
The interior construction is almost en-
tirely of wood which would burn like
finder if a. fire once started.
The south wing of the building is oc-
cupied by about sixty women distrib-
uted on three floors. On the first floor
are those who must be kept under re-
Straint. On the second and third floors
are about fifty women, many of whom
are crippled or sick or decrepit with
age. A number of them are practically
helpless. The wards occupied by the
women are reached by a steep wooden
stair which winds through a shaft ex-
tending from the basement to the at
tic. At the foot of this shaft there is
kitchen in which it is easily possible
for a fire to start. Should that occur
the shaft would doubtless be a roaring
furnace in a few minutes. The only
other means of escape consists of a
few outside iron fire escapes and a
narrow hallway leading into the super
intendents quarters. Now any one who
knows the physical condition of these
women realizes at once that many of
them could not use the fire escapes
AS for the hallway, it would be prac-
ticalIy useless a means of escape
beca use the stair-shaft lies between it
and the rooms occupied by most of the
women.
On the mems side the hospital con-
sists of three wards located on the Sec
ond floor. These wards are reached
by a wooden staircase coming up
through a hole cut in the floor of the
middle ward There is also door
leading from one ward into the mems
dormitory. In the hospital there are
probably thirty men. Some are blind,
some are unable to walk at all, others
are crippled as to walk with ex-

the Editor of The Farmer:

To the Editor of The Farmer:
The writer wishes to express approval
of the attitude The Farmer takes edi-
torialIy in regard to the removal of
garbage from the homes by the pres
ent contractor and to say that while
he has been a lifelong Republican it
is his intentionpto vote the Democratic
ticket in the forthcoming election be-
cause of the fact that under the pres
ent administration he has been unable
to get satisfactory action in regard TO
this matter although having appealed
to the present administration and also
to the Board of Health, on several oc-
casions. Throughout the summer
months collections were made on an
average once a week instead of three
times is called for under the contract
and garbage was allowed to accumu-
late in the yards of myself and neigh
bors, sending out its disagreeab1e, dis
ease-breeding doors Throughout the
South End where it has been my mis-
fortune to reside under these upsatis-
factory conditions
Mr.. Mullins appeals to me as man
who will alleviate these evils. L do not
believe he would sacrifice his large
business interests for any political OF
fee unless he felt that duty called him
to serve the citizens of Bridgeport as
a lone man mayor Again, wish to
express my satisfaction at the Selec-
ton by the Democratic party of Mr..
Arnold Cargin as alderman in the
First district. I have known Mr.. Car
gill ever since came to this city and
most intimately Politically he has
heretofore opposed me actively in this
district but he has done it in an open,
manly fashion, and the members of all
parties have always known where to
find him on election day. I believe he
will be elected by the votes of Repub-
Hcans who know him to be straight
forward honest and capable and who
have the same confidence above ex-
pressed that he will represent the peo-
pie of the First district without fear
or favor, allying himself only with
those forces that enable the citizen to
point with a. degree of civic pride to
the conduct Of the citys affairs
Very truly yours,
REPUBLICAN.

RENE dimculty and others are confined

IRENE difficulty and others are confined
to bed.
In view of these conditions stated
above there is little doubt that a Sc
rious fire at Lakeview would be at
tended with appalling loss of jife. -
In addition to the fire risk there are
other features at the aInshouse which
make it merit all the criticisms SO Of
ten made against it. Lack of space
for bids a long discussion of these
things, but some idea of what they are
can be gotten when I say that the
roof is Ieaky, the bathing and toilet
facilities on the women's side aboIn-
Unable and that the wooden walls and
partitions on that side offer such ex-
ceIlent breeding places for vermin that
it is impossible to rid the building of
these pests
The truth of what have said here
can easily be tested by personal visit
to the place and would strongly urge
any voter who feels inclined to cast
his ballot against the bond issue to
visit Lakeview before election day.
AS for myself I intend to cast my
vote for the bonds. Should do other
wise I would feel directly responsible
for any calamity at Lakeview such as
is easily possible under present condi-
lions.
