IMPROVEMENTS IN 1901
J. 5. Morrison. local agent of the
Santa Fe. says that improvements on
the Santa Fe system will go with a
rush next year.
Besides pushing the gigantic work
of grade reductions upon which it has
already begun, the system will have
many more improvements made in
1901.
In Texas 100 miles of S5-pound steel
rails will soon be laid; from Pueblo to
Denver the same track improvement
will be made and this stretch is also
to be equipped with block signals. Pu-
eblo is also to have s15O.000 of Santa
Fe railroad money spent in the en-
Iargement of the yards of the COM
pany at that place. The lines of the
system west of Albuquerque will be
greatly improved during the year 1901.
On this division fifty miles of the
road will be ballasted with volcanic
There will be built forty-two stone
arches at an estimated cost of $75. 600
and six short girder span bridges at an
estimated cist of $4,000 About $50
OOe will be spent in the development of
water supply.
The increase of business of the road
shows that greater improvements than
ever will have to be made and more
new equipment added The improve
ments made will embrace every de-
partment of the road and thousands OF
dollars will be spent in each depart
ment Of each division of the entire
system in the year 1901.
DICKSON AND LAMB AGAIN.
Excursion Agents Dickson, of Wash
ington, and Lamb, of st. Louis, pass
ed through this morning. Dickson had
thirty-five people in and two of them
stopped off here. Lamb has twenty
nine through tourists. fourteen of
which came out of St Louis with him
and are going to points in California.
Lamb says he hasn't got over a de-
sire to kick himself yet for something
that he did on the way. When his
car arrived at Flatonia he was an hour
and forty-five minutes late and the G. !
H. train was gone. He thought it /
would be awful to make his passen-
SciS osti dt SdI <hulouiO tWchty- 4
four hours. so he telegraphed a ahead !
for the G. H. train to be held there
for him and engaged freight engine !
to take his car over to San Antonio. /
He says the conductor who went over
with him punched his passengers tick
cts with lead pencil The connec-
ton was made at San Antonio all
right and after they left that place
Lamb told his passengers what a smart
boy he was to save them from that
long lay-over in San Antonio. AS onei
voice the whole push of them declared
that he was real mean to do such
trick for it would have been so de-
ca! old San Antonio in. They haven't
forgiven Lamb yet for depriving them
of pleasure SO rare to eastern peo-
pie The e. H. passenger train made
up an hour and a half of the time
lost by waiting for Lamb and came
into Ell PasO Just fifteen minutes late
Lamb says that by making a good
strong kick he secured far better car
for this trip than he has had before
it having gas for lights, better win
dows and other equipments. He ex-
poets to be allowed to retain it.
