The Extension TO Frisco.

The probable extension of the great
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system to
San Franciscois naturally exciting great
interest in California. Vice-President
Towne, of the Southern Pacific, is quoted
in dispatch as saying that he had 10
doubt of the intention of the Santa Fe to
build TO San Francisco at once. BY the
terms of the contract between the Santa
F'e and Southern Pacific companies the
former was, we believe. allowed to use the
tracks of the latter to San Francisco,
after due notice, but never awaited itself
of this right. 1t was also required to give
two years notice of intention to cancel the
existing traffic contract between the two
companies. but as the extension to San
Francisco will doubtless be built under the
name of another company this provision
may not interfere with the early compile
tion of the new line. Considerable work
has already been done by the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad
company, which we have long had excel
lent reason for believing was in the inter
est of the Santa Fe company.-Rdfttcay
