New Railroad to San Francisco.

Announcement is made of the opening
for passenger business of the newly COM
pleted extension of the Santa Fe Route
to San Francisco, opening for freight
business having been made several weeks
ago. The fact marks an event of no lit
tie national importance, as new trans
continental line thus enters the field of
business between the great California
port and the east, SO long monopolized
by the one railroad, to which heretofore
San Francisco and the other cities of
central California have been restricted.
A distinct benefit to trade and travel
may confidently be expected to result in
the form of better freight and passenger
railway competition for public patron
age. By this step, also, the Santa Fe
road has materially added to it's sources
of revenue. 1t is the only railroad with
tracks and trains under one ownership
and management all the way from Chi
cago to San Francisco, as heretofore it
has enjoyed that distinction between
Chicago and Los Angeles and San
Diego. The advantages resulting from
such undivided responsibility are appar
emit, as it means uniformity of policy
and prompt through service, which in a
system of the high standing of the Santa
Fe signify much to the traveller and the
shipper.
The route is rich in attractions for the
tourist. All the way from eastern Colo
RADIO to the California boundry it runs
practically over continuous mountain
top, averaging as high above sea level as
is the summit of Mount Washington in
New Hampshire. Mountain passes, ex-
tinct VOLCANOES, petrified forests, prehis-
toric ruins, Indian Pueblos, the Yese-
mite and the Grand Canyon Of the Colo
RADIO river in Arizona are some Of the
features, certainly striking list for
those who are ignorant Of the extraor=
binary interest of travel through the
southwestern portion of our country.
Also an independent route is thus estab-
ished through San Francisco to Hawaii,
the Philippines and the Orient, on the
freight traffic with which the Santa Fo
has already secured Z strong bold, and
now proposes to y11ch ont vigorously
for the passenger trnxel.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

So far as the records show there was
very little business transacted at the
July meeting, excepting. OF course. the
usual amount OF compromise assign
ments, redemptions and certificates of
error.
Judge Herrick, of Wellington, who
is attorney for number of companies
who hold bonds against the county was
here buff anything official has been
done 1t does not appear in the minutes.
The quarterly report of the treasur-
er's Office shows SOL ,054 OF IN the bank
and cast items In the drawer. 1. w.
Stout and +. III. Nixon assisted the
probate judge in examining the books
and asked for allowance for three days
work but the commissioners refused to
allow more than for two and a half
days. We heard one of the examiners
speak In very uncomplimentary words
OF their action. He said they had over
z5OO extra assignments and redemp.
tions to check oyer besides the regular
routine business and yet the board re-
fused to allow them as much as they
did former examiners for less work.
He says il they had not worked rapidly
or had not understood the business it
would have required at least two days
more to dispose of it. The boards &C.
ton is nothing new, however. There
are many instances in which they have
been penny wise and pound foolish
j. p. Hall and Geo. Hubbard were ap-
pointed to assist IN examining the
books next October.
John Mcdaniel secured the contract
to put IN cistern at the poor farm.
He will receive S53 SO for the job. IL.

F. l.. Gordon's telephone franchise

The Rhodes tax case was compromis-
ed, Mr.. Rhodes agreeing to pay the
full amount of the tax and $40 of the
costs.
A list of bills allowed will be publish
ed later. For some reason claims that
here heretofore allowed by the board
were not allowed at this meeting.
The board will meet again in special
session July 10.
