After the Santa Fe.

Delegate Wilson. of Arizons, has in
PRODUCED q bill in congress 20 comp pei
the Santa Fe Pacific railroad company
to pay taxes for every mile OF road it
owns and operates in that territory.
Under the present construction of the
law by the supreme court tie prop
erty is exempt from taxation. Under
the original charter granted 70 the
Atlantic & Pacific by congress 1t was
stipulated that the company should be
exempt from taxation of Tvs right of
way in the territories OF the United
States, the government reservipg the
right to amend or repeal the charter.
From the year 1885, when the road was
completed, until last year, the comps-
ny paid taxes on the road at the
usual rate assessed railways for right
les, when the Urited States
supreme court handed down
decision in which the language grant
ing the right of way was construed to
meanta grant in fee to the lands in
cluded in the right of way, and that
the exemption of the right of way was
held to include not only the right
of way but the whole superstructure,
the railroad itself, and all improve
ments, and that because of this the
whole railroad property became ex-
e mpt from taxation. Acting on the
of this decision the railroad
company has since refused to pay taxes
on the property within the territory.

This agreement, though subjected to

are the insuring of promotion to tele-

permanent wage scale.
1t is expected that an agreement be-

RAILROAD6REETINGS
How the General Offices Remember
the Outside Boys.

All the Ell Psso railroad offices have
received fromthe general Offices of their
own and other systems, the customary
New Years greetings. These vary in
design from rather elaborate efforts of
photographers in colors to simple but
tasty designs done with an electric
needle and reproduced with a
mimeograph.
They are sent in the name of the
head man in the Office and contain also
the names of all the clerks aud others
employed there.
One OF the most attractive is that of
the Arkansas Pass road which has
among other things this poem.

TELLING ABOUT STANTON
White Oaks People Are Pushing the

One of the most effective pieces of
ADVERTISING lately issued is q most at

scriptive of the climatic resources OF

The work las been done by the Ell
Paso s. Northeastern railroad, ard not
only are most convincing common
sense facts put forward TO show the
climatic ADVANTAGES of the now cele-
brated mountain region of southeast
ern New Mexico, but IL is all enforced
by apt illustrations of the pine country
At some length the choice of the
government in selecting Fort Stanton
rs a site for a sanilarium is q welt upon,
and tables and charts are adduced to
show how favorsbly the recorded
temperature of Stanton compares with
that of other points in the south west.
An undoubted Item of interest to Ell
Paso people in the summary OF pro
gress in the construction of the White
Oaks, which follows:
AS stated. the Ell Paso & North
eastern railway was completed to Ala
mogordo, New Mexico, eighty-six
miles distant from Ell Paso, in June,
1898. November L, 1898, the Alamo
gordo & Sacramento Mountain Rail
way was completed from Alamogordo
to Toboggan, N. NJ, one and one-half
miles from Cloudcroft, on the summit
OF the mountains, ana twenty niles
from Alamogordo. On Octob der l, 1899,
the Ell Paso 81 Northeastern Railway
was com pleted to CAPTAIN, N. M, 1853
miles from Ell Paso and six miles dis
tsnt from Fort Stanton. The Alamo
gordo & Sacramento Mountain Rail-
way will have been com pleted to Cloud

THEY ARE PARASITES
So Railroad Man DeSigndteS the
Fruit Car Comp dnies-Whdt the
New Agreement Means.

THE object of the com bin alton, >
said F.. B. II. Houghton, agent of the
Santa Fe, sis tO do away with the pri-
vate car lines. They are like this mis-
tletoe we see growing on the cotton
woods down the valley,-they are
merely parasites with no excuse for
existence. The railroads will in time
do away with them, and own their own
refrigerator cars, and this ts the first
step in that direction"
This was said in relation to the re-
ported practical putting into effect OF
the new through routing agreement
between the Saota Fee and 5. +.
The new agreement whereby the
Southern Pacific and the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe initial lines agreed
to route and control the rOutfngs OF all
cars of citrus fruits shipped from Cal
iforpia points to their destination, went
into effect yesterday according TO a Los
Angeles dispatch. Shippers say this
arbitrary procedure takes the control
of their product from their hands A
practical demonstration OF the force OF
this new arrangement was maze a.
Riverside, and to the discontinue OF
the Consolidated Fruit company,
which offered three cars Of citrus
fruits for shipment to the east. Inc
Southern Pacific agent at Riverside
refused to receive the cars Mess the
special routing clause that gives the
shipper the right to designate the
route to meet an emergency market
was stricken from the bill OF consign-
ment.
The agents Of thu shipper, Moulton
and Green, were informed that the rail-
road would accept the fruit with the
routing clause intact upon the payment
of q com mercial rate of 52.66 per 100
pounds as against S1.25 per 100 pounds
or 80 cents per box, the rate that here
tofore prevailed. This new ruling
fixes the rate az S1.91! per box and such
figure prohibits the transaction OF
business.
The Santa Fee likewise refused to
take citrus fruits unless the shipper
valves the route to be taken to the des-
tination. The shippers have appealed
by telegraph to President Ripley.
1.-THE S. P. is going to route the
fruit over lines that will give the best
service to the shipper and by which 1t
can make prompt deliveries. If the
shipper has sny good reason why
certain road should be used in rout-
ing, it may be given him."
This is what B. E. Dsrbyshire OF
the Texas and Pacific had to say. I'VE
now set So per cent of the orange
shipments east from FL Paso, and, as
we are a direct line to the northwest
we shall probably continue TO get
these shiDmertS.'

FREIGHT RATES.
A New Western Classification Which
Affects All FL paso Roads.

A new western classification iu
freight rates affecting all Ell Psso rail
roads, and consequently affecting al
FL Paso shippers, is to go into effect on
the 10Th day of January.
There are TO be some two hundred
changes in the present rates. These
changes are in some instances an sd.
vance and in others reduction, but t or
the most part rates generally are
raised.
An idea of the changes may be
gained from these few examples:
Lye l. G. |. now 4th, will be Bird.
Candy now 3rd, will be 2nd.
Crockery now 4th. will be Bird.
Potatoes now 4th, will be 3rd.
Sweet potatoes now 4th, will be Bird &.
Emoalmipg fluid now 4th, will be Bird
Bags, burlap. gunny or jute c..
S. DOW 9Th, will be 4th.
Mali G. S. now G., will be B.
Refrigerators G. S. now A, will be
min. 10000.
Refrigerators will be Bird, now min.
5000.
In regard to this Texas clsssiti cation
here is an article clipped from til e
on an article which appeared a short
time ago in a daily paper of this cit
tie Times.
Ell Paso will be the loser by the new
western classification of freight rates
that goes into effect Jan. l, at least sc
TO- as the Santa Fee is concerned. That
road has advanced the rates on a mum
Der of most important articles in
ref erence to Ell Paso.
This is absurd said Agen
Houghton of the Santa Fee. The re-
porter who came to me for iuforma
tion in the matter, was told freely aud
frankly that an adherence TO the new
Texas and western classification would
be made by all roads entering this
city. The Santa Fe only does what
the rest do, and to single out our road
and to say that we alone make changes
cad advances Is both unfair rnd unjust,
and absolutely untrue.
