DENVER, Nov. GA private dispatch
received in Denver yesterday from one
of the very highest authorities on the

doubt that E. P Ripley would be the next
president of the Santa Fe and d. B.

left for the east last night in his
private car. He was told the con-
tents of the telegram referred to and ad-
mitted that he had before seen it. MIR.
Ristine declined to say what business
took him east, but the presumption was
that he had gone to make treaty with
the now administration, confident that
the fight is all over and that MIR. Ripley
is to be the man he will have to deal
with The relationship between the
Santa Fe aud Colorado Midland is very
close. The Midland is the Santa Fe's
big feeder in this state, and the road has
to depend upon the Santa Fe rails for
way to Denver.
E. P. Ripley is known in Colorado, but
in only a limited circle. For many years
he was with the Burlington road. and as
traffic manager of it made his record 1t
is something of record to run from a
subordinate position, through the de-
partment of traffic manager, to the presl-
dency of the biggest railroad system on
the continent, and one of the two biggest
in the entire world, in less than ten
years. Mr.. Ripley did it.
One reason that the prospective pres
| ident is not generally known here Is be-
cause he is not generally known any
! where. He is a man who keeps his
nose to the grindstone every minute he
| is awake and can count his acquaintan-
! ces on his fingers almost. He knows no
body but those connected with him in
business. In person he is striking, but
not because he is handsome. Nobody
ever accused the busiest traffic manager
or third vice president in America of be-
ing even homely. He does not care who
knows it; that is the beauty of 1t. Bul

for his personal charms, and those WHO
