man of the finance committee, in his
refusal to OK. the water company's

A New. Line to Europs.

The AtchiSon, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway system is to become an active
competitor with the Southern Pacific.
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf and
other railroads for the freight traffic
Of the South and West to European
ports by the way OF the Gulf OF Mex
leo. Some time ago the Santa Fs
management read the andwriting on
the wall regarding the channels which
the export traffic OF the west would
seek in going to Europe. 1t was seen
that the export grain and provision
traffic was being diverted from the
Atlantic seabOard to Gulf Of Mexico
ports and the Santa Fe quietly pre-
pared itself to secure a share OF the
new traffic.
President E. c. Ripley of the Santa
Fc has arranged for freight steam.
ship line from Galveston to all the
principal ports of Europe, similar to
the line recently arranged for from
San Francisco to the principal Aslatic
ports. The arrangement became
effective this month.
The combination is between the
Santa Fe line at Galveston and the H.
DiedrichsOn Steamship company for
freightage from that point to
European ports. An office has been
established at Galveston under the
general management of E. Silver
stone, who recently resigned his PEST
tlon as contracting freight agent of
the Southern Pacific.
Formerly the Southern Pacific had
an exclusive and lucrative business
over the Sunset line to New Orleans
and thence by connecting ocean lines
TO Europe. A great part of California
and European trade travelled that
course. This is one of the mastery
moves OF President Ripley, and will
prove profitable one for the Santa
Fe.
