The Santa Fe's Western Terminal.
A San Francisco Dispatch says: The sale
Of the Santa Fe railroad. at Topeka, has
occasioned a great deal of gossip in rail-
road circles as to the probability OF the
new management building from Mojave into
San Francisco. The scaling down of the
debt of the big corporation. as evidenced
by the price the property brought at the
foreclosure sale, is considered by comp
tent judges as placing 1t In a healthier
financial condition than 1t has been in the
past ten years. Ripley and Robinson are
of making San Francisco the Western
erminus Of the line as soon as practicable;
The Santa Fe now has its passenger ana
freight cars running into and out OF this
