PURCHASE OF THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY ROAD.
The Directors Of the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe Road Have Determined
Upon Its Purchase

CHICAGO Nov. 2,-The directors OF the
Atchison Topeka & santa Fe railroad
have Just issued circular to stockhold-
ers giving reasons for the purchase Of
the San Francisco * San Joaquin valley
railroad.
The directors say:
The road in its unfinished condition,
with no connection south Of Bakersfield,
and without access OF San Francisco, ex-
cept by the use Of boats from Stockton,
has earned more than its operating ex-
penses and taxes. Its earnings will be
largely increased when completed to San
Francisco and in receipt of the through
business of the Atchison system to and
from that city and other points in north
ern California.
II II shall be found necessary to con-
struct a connecting link between Bakers
field and some point of intersection with
the Santa Fe system OF California, means
therefor can be provided either by using
general mortgage bonds reserved for ex-
pansion purposes, or by an issue Of bonds
upon the new lines. 1t is the expec-
tatlon of your directors however. that
such construction will not be required, as
trackage rights over the existing line be-
tween Bakersfield and Mojave, IS miles
can probably be obtained.
