A., 7. & S. F. ENTERPRISE.
Local Views for Souvenir Pamphlet
-Vestibule Train Service Track
and Train News.

The A., 7. & S. F. company is planning
to INACCURATE several enterprises of gen
sral and local import during the coming
few months. The year now approaching
promises to be an eventful one both for
this corporation and the southwest. The
cholera scare abroad and the Worlds fair
festivities will have a tendency to drive
everybody westward throughout the COM
ing year. Thousands of tourists, whose
expenditures aggregate millions of dol
lars will this year be attracted to the west
which heretofore has gone to the eastern
and foreign resorts.
Because of this prospect the A., T. & S.
F. company is thus early in the field pre-
pairing for the rush. few weeks ago G
A. Higgins, representing Traffic Manager
w. F. Whites office, was in Santa Fe and
selected various subjects deemed requi-
site for pictorial views to properly rep
resent the historic city in magnificent
souvenir pamphlet which the company
will issue. This pamphlet will contain
views and write up of all principal
points along the A., T. g. S. F. between
Chicago and the Pacific coast, and will be
issued in time to turr the tide of both
the winter and summer travel this way.
Yesterday W. M. Smith, local gent, re-
ceived orders to have Photographer
Curren prepare at once twenty-six differ
ent views of Santa Fe for publication in
this pamphlet, representing the principal
public structures, several business houses,
orchards, historic points, ETC., including
moonlight view of the plaza. J.
In addition to the issuance of this at
tractive souvenir the Santa Fe road will
also very greatly improve its through
train service at an early day-probably
by Nov. land establish new fast
train of vestibule coaches between Chicago
and the coast.
