to the Directors of
His Line.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-It is reported
here as likely that a consolidation of the

he recommended to the directors and
large stockholders Of the Southern Pacific
road that an amalgamatiOn of the two
systems be effected If possible
The Santa Fee and the Southern Pacific
were not parallel competitors until about
a month ago, when the former finished
panies are now strong competitors for all
California business.
So long as the Santa Fee line and traffic
were confined to Southern California the
Southern Pacific people did not show any
anxiety, but since the former invaded
San Francisco and Northern California
the Southern Pacific has been much per-
turbed.
If a consolidation were effected it would
place California where it was before the
Santa Fe entered the state. that is. at
the mercy of the Southern Pacific The
deal would bring together two systems
with a total mileage of nearly II, 900
miles, and would make the amaIgama ted
company master of the transportation sit
uation in California
The Santa Fe's San Francisco connec-
ton is by the San Joaquin Valley line,
which was started by Californians to free
themselves from the Southern Pacific
