THE EXPLANATION.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad is cutting down expenses by
reelection of working force and wages
of men. A probable explanation of this
course may be found in the follow
ing taken from the Santa Fe New Mexican:
1t has not been officially announced to the
public as yet, but the road men have given
orders which lead to the evident conclusion
that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
company has absorbed the Atlantic and Pa
ciic read. The master mechanics have
notified the engineers OF the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe line that within thirty
days the shops at Wallace will be removed
to Albuquerque, and that the end of the Las
Vegas division will be established there.
This means the absorption Of the Atlantic
and Pacific as clearly as if it was officially
announced, and it is understood that the
material from the Wallace shops will be re-
moved to the Atlantic and Pacific shops,
and that the latter named line will hence
forth be operated as branch of the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe.

The Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Re
Railroad company, it is reported, have ne.
gotiated for the purchase of the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad. This includes the St.
Louis and San Francisco Railroad. The
Santa Fe company already owns q large
interest in the St. Louis and San Francisco
road. This purchase will preclude any m
mediate prospect of railroad through the
Panhandle. In fact railroad building in the
Panhandle may be considered indefinitely
POSTPONED. As we have heretofore stated.
from information obtained through trust
worthy sources, it is the intention of the
railroad company to construct line Of road
from Dodge City to Sedgwick City, thus
connecting with the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco road at that point, and making a
shorter route to St. Louis. Another line
will follow in southwesterly course and
connect with the road in New Mexico, thus
shortening the route west to Mexico and the
Pacific coast. Thus the company will have
q shorter line from east and west and also
retain the business to be derived from the
great plains of the Panhandle.
This move will insure general boom for
Dodge City. This city will continue to be
the market for the sale of the long horns
and the shipping point for the immense
herds of beeyes in the Panhandle. In fact,
the prospects brighten for Dodge City: The
southern trade will augment in the mean
time and the interests of the city will cores
pondingly increase. We regard the future
of Dodge full of promise.
