MANvEL AND THE SANTA FE.
What His Work Accomplished for tn
Great Corporation.

What His Work Accomplished for the
Great Corporation.
The following was written for the
HERALD by gentleman intimate with
all matters pertaining to the Santa Fe
company and its development:
The death Of Allen Marvel, president
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad company, the greatest system
under one management in the world
lie full of moment. Mr.. Marvel has lit.
orally worn himself out in the interests
of the Atchison system.
The Atchison system has mileage of
9343 miles. 1t begins in Chicago, passes
through Illinois, Missouri, Texas, In.
dian Territory, Okalahoma, Iowa, Kan.
sas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona,
California and Old Mexico. 1t employs
perhaps $1,000 men, affording support
to at least $4,000 men, women and
children.
will not enter into its earlier history,
but will begin at a period within the
memory of all of us-18SS-89.
For 10 years previous to 1888 the sys-
tenn had grown like mushroom in the
night. Its president, VIM. B. Strong,
was man OF unquestioned ability, but
too little familiar with the details of the
system, and suddenly the great corpora
tion found itself in financial mbarrass-
ment. Miles of railroad had been con-
structed IN Kansas that could never hope
to be remunerative, at least within the
lifetime of those now living. A costly
and Improbable purchase of the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe had been made
interest on the entire bonded indebted
ness was eating them up, and ruin stared
the directors in the face. "Who will be
our Moses.?" was the cry that went Up
in Boston, in New York and in London.
The public were all pessimists wise
bankers and others said, Bankruptcy. :"
Mr.. Strong began to reduce expenses
Whisperings were heard that certain
officials OF the system in high position
had become rich and no one seemed to
know where the money came from. AT
this critical iuncture Messrs. Barring OF
London, Peabody of Boston and
Magoun Of New York, all large
holders of the Atchison securities
quietly convinced by purchase and
moral suasion that the only hope OF
saving the great corporation from dis
intergation lay in giving them full pow
er. A new directory was formed, and to
the surprise of the prophets.
Allen Marvel, general manager of the
Great Northern railroad, was elected
president. In qualifications he excelled
as one OF the most capable operative rail-
road men in the northwest, and his
economy, his wisdom and his modesty
was known to the bankers, who had
now called him to a position equal in
rank to any railroad official in the
world.
A critical examination of the entire
line, its shops, its equipment, it's official
and clerical force down to the section
man, was made in person by Mr.. Man
vel.
Decapitation was not the general rule.

THE ROAD cHoKKD WITH snow.


Heavy Storms ana slides Delay Great
Noythsrn Trains
For the last week the Great Northern
road through the Cascade mountains has
been blocked by heavy and long con-
t:nued fall OF snow, and trains have been
running anywhere from twensy-iour
to thirty-sIx hours late. The sat
urday train was run back and hooked
on TO the one following Ii. and they came
in together. The train due a. III O'Clock
on Monday night arrived about l O'Clock
Wednesday morning. tssnty-six hours late,
and Tuesdays train arrived about O'Clock
Wednesday night Wednesdays train ar
rived about o'clock last night, and the
first freight train for week came IN At III
O'Clock yesterday morning.
The causes Of delay are numerous
There has been from six 10 nine feet OF
snow in the mountains and each train had
two rotary snowpsews as an escort. one In
front and one running backwards behind
to meet the next train going IN the oppo-
site direction and 60 ahead OF IL. The
snow was 30 thick on the track that hve
of the big hog engines used on the switch
back and in the mountains jumped the
track and one Of them. alter getting on
again, ran only ten miles before 1t went
of again. Sides were also encountered in
the Wenatchee valley and q mudslide
came down near Index. Trains no longer
run over the switchback at night. this be-
ing a measure Of safety. Work on the
snowsheds was stepped for four days by
the storm.
Though the mud slide on the shore line
is still coming down, it does not delay
rains. for q gang OF iaborers is kept con-
stantly at work in shoyeling it away.
The sixty or seventy culverts built under
the track during the summer carry off
most Of the mud.
When the west-bound train was q short
distance below the Chumpstick bridge on
the east side of the summit last Friday
evening, it ran into a large gravel slide.
The engine was thrown off the track and
rolled down the bank to the edge of the
Wenatchie river, and the baggage car was
thrown across the track. Engineer Green
went down with the engine. but Fireman
Ben McCabe jumped through the cab
window. Neither was seriously injured
and the baggageman was only slightly
hurt.
Tho blockade is gradually being raised
and the delay to trains is cut down from
day TO day.
