Has New Filing System In Engineering Department. It's Belieyed to Be Most Com plete in Country. OLD WAY CUMBERSOME Some . Remarkable u Blue Print Machines in Use. Other Items of Interest' Railway People. to The filing system In use in the en gineering department of the Balti more & Ohio railroad is believed to be the most complete method of keep ing: a record of the numberless pa pers, blue prints, drawings, tracings, etc., of any railroad in the country, and the visitor to the department in the General Office building is some what surprised to learn of the manner in which this branch of the depart ment is conducted. The system is a marked departure from the methods of filing in use In the other large railroad offices of the country, and is a compilation of the best features of a number of the large systems. When the engineering de partment moved into their commodi ous quarters in the new building Mr. D. D. Carothers, chief engineer of the road, sent Mr. J. H. Milburn, his chief draughtsman, to the home offices of a number of the large railroad systems to make a personal inspection of their filing systems in order to obtain ideas for use In installing such service on the Baltimore & Ohio. The file cases for plans are in a fire proof vault. These cases are finished in light oak. and all of them are specially designed for their particular purpose. The plans on file in this of fice cover all the construction work and surveys, as well as plans giving general information of the road and properties as now operated. The old system of filing by means of a large ledger index, and which was in use prior to the Baltimore fire, has been replaced by a card system which is very much simpler and enables the locating of a blue print, etc., in a very much shorter time. The index is divided into sections, .Once Upon A Time There was a BEAR there was a BARE possibility that hand-me-downs were as good as Tailor-Madea. Why the BARE idea is awful. BEAR with us while we shudder. No use to go BARE when you can get Suit or O'Coat Made to Order Made to Fit Made to Satisfy NO MORE $15 NO LESS 532 Kansas Avenue. IT "W one for each division on the system. All the branches of each division are indicated by index cards in their re spective sections, and the different classes or subjects under which the plans arc filed are indexed by finder cards with subjects distinctly marked, such a9 alignment, under which is given in detail on each card for the individual plan showing the alignment of the branch, and under profiles the plans showing the profiles of , the road; under bridges, all bridges, etc. These finder cards cover twenty sub jects in all, so that when the division, branch and class of plan wanted are known, the index card can be located immediately, showing the section and the letter of shelf or drawer with the number showing its location. A separate section is reserved for all surveys, extensions and new lines, with the name of each survey indi cated on a separate finder card fol lowed by an individual Index card, giving Information for each plan! This same method is- used for an index of plans'of work under construction,; A similar method is used for filing the atlasses and maps : of cities, counties and states, which are of great interest to the Baltimore & Ohio. ' An effort is made to purchase all atlasses and maps as soon as published, in order that this, file can . be as complete as possible. A separate room is provided for filing note books on surveys, and these books are indexed so that any Information gotten In the field can be obtained at any time from the orig inal notes. The blue print department is lo cated In the Pent Houw on the roof, in which are installed a vertical cylindrical machine and a continuous Will'-ms, Brown and Earle blue printer. Both of these machines print by electricity, but the latter is an automatic machine that washes and dries the prints as fast as they are printed on the continuous roll; re quiring one boy to feed the tracing and one to cut the prints as they emerge from the machine. By this method one continuous print 30 yards long can be made with as much ease as a print one foot souarrf. The length of the prints is limited only by the length of rolls of blue print paper received. With this machine two boys can turn out 12 rolls of blue prints 50 yards long in one day. KXCESS BAGGAGE RATES. Jobbers and Commercial Travellers to Resist the New Ones. Jobbers, merchants and commercial travelers have begun a concerted movement to resist the action of the western and southwestern roads in increasing the excess baggage rate from 12 H per cent of the one-way rate to 18 per cent. This was done with the view of maintaining excess baggage revenues where they were and to prevent their reduction by the 2-cent passenger rate laws. In taking the action indicated the railroad associations named seem to have overlooked the fact that there .are laws on the statute books of at least several of the western states making 12 per cent of the regular one-way rate the legal excess bag gage rate, and the commercial Inter ests named claim that under these laws the roads have no legal right to increase the rate. At all events, it is proposed to invoke these laws, and refuse to pay the increased rate, or to pay it only under protest, so that the ground may be laid for- its future re covery from the roads. Certain commercial organizations in St. Louis have taken action in the matter by calling the attention of At torney General Hadley of Missouri to the action of the roads in the pre mises and to the state law which they are violating. They have asked' him to take the steps necessary to have the law enforced, and have under taken to supply all the evidence nec essary to secure the conviction or roads charged with its breach. BURIJXGTOX'S DIVIDEND. Mr. Hill Explains Why 6 Per cent Ad ditional Was Declared. New York, Sept. 6. Concerning the extra dividend on the Burlington's stock. J. J. Hill said: "Northern Pacific and Great North ern have had the Burlington for about six years and during this time the Bur lington has not paid, the carrying charges of Joint 4 per cent bonds to ttio extent of 1 per cent rer annum.- and therefore to equalize this deficiency 6 per cent additional has been declared on Burlington stock. The annual re port of 1907 will show that the Bur lington has had the best year In its history. The additional dividend on s Remember we are in our new loca tion 114 W. Eighth Street Burlington stock will contribute about $3,250,000 apiece to the treasuries of the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific. This is eauivalent to mora than 2 per cent of the capital stock of Great isortnern and Northern Pacific." GOULD LINE TO YOSEMITE.

Emporia, Kan Sept. 6 Football uni forms were issued Thursday by the Normal Athletic association to thirty students who desire to play this year. Tho normal will have two coaches, Paul Samson, the physical director, and Owen Samuel, who was coach for the College of Emporia last year. Samuel did good work for the college team and before that for the high school. Samuel has returned home from a vacation In Colorado and took charge of the men in the afternoon. - Samson will still help with the work, though his other duties will keep him from giving much time to football. Nearly all of last year's players are in school, while some members of last year's freshmna team will be eligible and some players of former years will be in school again. Waldorf, center; Burton, left guard; Appletrad, right guard; Honska, right tackle, all of last year's team, are here. The man most missed of last year's team will be Edgar Forde, who for sev eral years has been a star tackle. Forde is going to the university this fall. A candidate to fill his place is George Rorark. who played on the scrubs last year. For the ends and halves there are Bill Rorark, Forbes of last year's fresh man team, Goff, Rhine and Decker.who played a snappy end two years ago and is again in school. To flu Brlght's place at quarter is Campbell, o last season's freshman team. In addition 'to these men there is Ingram Forde and "Fatty" Mulvaney. who played center for the high school when he was younger. Chet Plcken is a candidate for first team honors, and he may be worked out with Campbell for quarter. Other possibilities are Gard, Owens, Balch and Isaacs. For the freshman team there is a promising bunch of material. Racing at Sliecpshead Bay. Sheepshead Bay, Sept. 6. Blue Book, an added starter and quoted at 30 to 1, furnished a big surprise at Sheepshead Bay Thursday when he won the Reapers' stakes, mile and three sixteenths.

WESTERN ASSOCIATION GOSSIP. WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW: Topeka at Joplin. Webb City at Leavenworth. Springfield at Hutchinson. Wichita at Oklahoma City. The three days' layoff is now a matter of ancient history. The team this af ternoon commence the final race of the season. Each team has fifteen regular games to be played and most of the teams have postponed games to be play ed in addition. Five of the teams in the race are sure of their positions. The only fight left is the determination of third, fourth and fifth places. Topeka, Hutchinson and Joplin are to fight it out for these places. It is about nip and tuck until the end of the season. To peka will be going good as all the cripples on the team are now in good shape. Hutchinson is shot to pieces by the absence of Casey while Joplin is going to pieces fast. Topeka and Jop lin are both in ; better condition than Hutchinson but have harder teams to contend with than the Salt Packers. - The Champs left for their final in vasion of Joplin last night over the San ta Fe. All the members of the teim with the exception of Landreth and Ragan were on the train. Landreth went to his home in the western part of the state while Ragan was in Kansas City visiting his folks. Both were expect ed to Join the team in Kansas City last night. All the members of the team were in good shape with the exception of Captain Abbott who is under the weather with a severe cold and an at tack of Indigestion. Secretary Fred Bobbins accompanied the team. Happy Westcott, the former Joplin twjrler who was suspended, is now playing with an amateur team at Miami, Mo. He is twirling at the present time every other day and the team is on a forty-five days' trip. Westcott is a good pitcher arid his services would come in mighty handy to the Miners at the present time. Oklahoma City has recalled Pitcher Page from Coffeyville and will prob ably give him a chance this season. He showed fair form with the Mets in the early part of the season. Kansas City has recalled Pitcher Louis Crutcher from the Independ ence team to whom he was loaned for the season in exchange for Pitch er Brandon.
