RAILROAD NEWS.
Plans to Open Americas Great
est Cattle Market
Brought About by Reorganiza-
ton of Pecos Valley BY.
LINE WILL BE DONE
By Next Fall and Will Open Up
to the Santa Fe
The Largest Cattle Section in
the L. s.

The successful outcome of the reor-
ganization of the Pecos Valley COM
pany is largely due to the Santa Fe
and its friends, who have purchased an
interest in the new securities. A con-
tract has been made with the Atchison
for an interchange of traffic and an
agreement entered into whereby that
company has the right to use 40 miles
OF the new line for part of a through
line to Albuquerque, New Mexico, the
AIchlSOn paying One-half the interest
charge on the cost of that portion of
the line and maintenance in proportion
to wheelage.
The completion of the line. which it
IS expected will be accomplished this
fall, will open up to the Atchison the
largest cattle section in the United
states, an area of some $4,000 square
miles in New Mexico and Texas. 1t
Will also give the PecOS Valley, which
contains the largest irrigated area in
this country (some 300, 600 acres), access
to markets 400 miles nearer than by
the present routes. At Amarillo the
PecOs Valley will also connect with
the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf sys-
tenn, making a direct line to Colorado
and northern points. The road would
connect with the Pecos Valley & North
western at a point directly east of
Albuquerque and 140 miles south of
Amarillo. which is Is miles north of
Washburn, Texas, on the Union Pa
cific. Denver & Gulf, and which is to
be the eastern terminus of the PecOS
railroad. The Santa Fe by this route
would save about 200 miles travel from
the coast to Chicago and also avoid
the long mountain haul by way of Ra-
ton on the present route This would
enable it to reduce the time between
Chicago and Los Angeles several hours
and thus give it incalculable ad-
vantage in its competition for passenger
traffic.
The AtchisOn is laying new 56-lb rails
on the Atlantic & Pacific. The line
from Barstow to Mojave will be finish
ed this month, leaving 100 miles more to
finish, which will be completed next
fall.

could scarcely be found than these ac-
complished young women.
The young people had secured the
services of two large wagonettes with
four horses attached, and after going
around the city had a pleasant moon
light drive of about eight miles. The
home of Major Logan was thrown open
to the young folks and they thorough
ly enjoyed themselves, as they slv avs
do.
An orchestra was taken along,
which furnished music for those wish
ing to dance, and the large hall of the
residence was we'll filed with dancers
all the evening. Those who were in
the party were:
Misses Aileen Blacker. Higgins,
Page, Annie Nations, Bella Schultz,
Erms Schultz, Ethel Cstlin, Gertrude

are usually given in cases, but as noth-

were convinced that unless it soon OBJ
