Struggle Between CLARK and
Hartman Not Ended.
Heath Says Clark Line viii Be
Built.
BOTH ARE IN A HURRY.
Want to Reach Los Angeles at
Once.
Part6 of Train Dispatchers Goes
West.
9TH ARE IN A HURRY.

Perry S. Heath, who with Senator
w. A. Clark of Montana, r. C. Kerens
of Missouri, and others, is interested in
building a railroad from Salt Lake
City. Utah to Los Angeles, Cal, is now
on his way to the west to confer with
those interested in the line. The pre-
liminary struggle a few weeks ago re-
suited favorably to the Hartman peo-
pie who were pushing the Oregon Short
Line extension, but that seems only
to have strengthened the determination
of the Clark men. In an interview re-
garding the situation, Mr.. Heath says:
There is not only any danger of the
road being constructed, but it is an
actual fact that about One-quarter Of
the line is already in operation, and we
are building at both ends and at two
places in the middle. doubt if there
has ever been more active work done
in the construction of a railroad, and
I have not the slightest doubt in the
world that trains will be running over
the line from Salt Lake City to Los
Angeles before a second winter is
upon us.
When the city council of Salt Lake
City donated an immense public park
in the heart of the city for terminal
facilities of this railroad and accom-
modations for other railroads, Senator
Clark promised he would himself see
that the road was built, and the Sena-
tor never deceiveS any one or fails to
fulfill his promise.
That railroad will develop the great
est undeveloped country in the United
States, a territory Astounding in min
eral wealth almost beyond conception.
In the ~bsence of Senator Clark, Sena-
tor Kearns of Utah has the manage
N ent in his hands, and J. Ross Clark,
brother of the senator, is also looking
after the affairs of the company
General Manager Bancroft of the
Oregon Short Line says that his line
will push to Los Angeles at the earliest
possible date He said that men would
in all probability be put in the field
elsewhere than on the Uvada-Clover
Valley grade though he would not say
specifically that they would work from
the California end of the line, as well
as this.

sEMI-wEEKLY LIMITED.
California Limited Daily Has Been
Discontinued.

The daily service of the Santa FEES
California limited will soon come to an
end. The last No. 4, the eastbound
train, got out of San Francisco Tues
day and hereafter the limited will run
only twice a week The twice a week
trains will not change the time of de-
parture from Topeka, materially; No.
8 Will pass through here at 2:55 a. m.
each Sunday and Wednesday; the time
for No. 4 is 1858 a. m, Sundays and
Thursdays.
1t is almost impossible to give in print
any adequate conception of the comfort
and elegance in travelling on this train,
as compared with former facilities, and
the immense traffic which has resulted
from the recognition of this fact by the
travelling public. Besides being a fine
train, it was run on a fast schedule,
thus making the time spent on the trip
itself as short as possible. The limited
has carried more passengers to the
coast during the past season than ever
before Lately of course there has been
no reason for travel to be directed to
southern California and the westbounS
traffic has dropped off noticeably with
in a few weeks. The movement east is
however good, yet.

President Ripley Denies Change in
Santa Fe Control

Santa Fe Control.
New York June 6.-Concerning the
elections Wednesday by the directors of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e rail-
road f. p. Ripley, president of the
Atchison said:
THE election of Mr.. Steele as a direc-
tor and of Mr.. Kendrick as third vice
president have no significance what
ever. beyond the personal qualities of
the two men. Mr.. Steele was selected
because it was thought that his per-
sonality and his advice and counsel
would strengthen the board and Mr.
Kendrick was selected because it was
thought that he was the best available
man to fill the existing vacancy. Meth
er of these selections was at the in
stance Of Mr.. Morgan or of any one in
his behalf.
AS to the story that Mr.. Morgan has
obtained control of the Atchison pro-
perty or that the Pennsylvania com
pany has obtained control I can only
say that have never seen the slight
est indication that such desire exist
ed on the part of either interest in that
direction and feel very sure that such
rumors have absolutely no foundation
Concerning the reports that a deal for
the control of the Rock Island was be-
ing considered by the Atchison officials
President Ripley said:
There is absolutely no foundation
for the report so far as I know

A number of coach shop men were off

B. Mellinger, who runs drill press
in the boiler shop, is taking a vacation
for a few days.
Thomas Hannigan, a machinist who
went to work here about a month ago,
haSt quit and will leave tomorrow for
Portland, Oregon, where he expects to
enter the service of the Oregon Short
Line
Fred Ogden, a coach trimmer is lay

Grading on the roadbed of the FL
Paso & Rock Island is progressing rap
idly and the graders are now about 30
miles from CarriZozO springs, where the
last few days the well borers have
struck water near the grade in the VI
entity of Gallinas. The supply is said
to be first class and the water very
good. Lack of water heretofore has
kept back the grading and track laying
but both of these from now on will be
pushed with great rapidity.
Not long ago it was decided by the
Santa Fe that all new ties put down
should be those that had received treat
ment, with a view to making them last
as long as possible This is only a part
of a plan to test means whereby ties may
be rendered more lasting by artificial
treatment And in accordance with such
a scheme it is proper that record of

ABOUT RAILROAD People.

Resident Engineer Morse of the San
ia Fe at Pueblo is receiving bids for
two miles of track to be constructed by
the Santa Fe near Ration mountain.
The new track will extend from Morley,
the second station south of Trinidad to
Gina. Estimates are being prepared
for double track. Increase in the bust
ness of the road has been so great that
it is with difficulty that the pusher ell
gineS used to help trains up the grade
are brought back to the bottom of the
hill without interfering with the opera
ton of trains.
L. r. Adams, day clerk in the Rock
Island office at Wichita has been pro-
NOTED to a position in the passenger
office of that road at Salt Lake City.
The change is effective this week
A train of IA cars of threshing ma
chimes went west over the Santa F'e the
other day. The traction engines were
fired up and at Emporia while the train
was being moved about the yards, the
whistles were used freely. The train
was bound for Mcpherson where it will
be broken up and distributed over the
western part of the state, the machines
to be used in the wheat harvest.
It is claimed that trains will be rum
ming over the Orient from Kansas City
to Port Stilwen on the Pacific within
two years. More than 700 miles of the
road are to be in operation within the
next II months.
William Burt of Schlegels gang was
off duty Wednesday.
Paul Pyetzki of the tank gang has
been out a day or two. The other day
while at work he struck one finger with
a hammer, injuring it so badly that he
was unable to remain on duty

santa Ia Testing 3 car ventIlator.

William T. COttier. representing the
World company's ventilation is here for
the purpose of showing the Santa Fe
the use of a patent ventilator of which
he is the inventor. The continuance is
to be placed on cars of any kind, but
the tests to be made now are with
view of showing that by means of it ice
will be unnecessary in transporting
fruit The principle upon which Mr.
Cottier works is that the removal of
vitiated and the supplying of pure air
is mainly what is needed in preserving
fruit that is being shipped. And in ap-
plying this principle he places an open
ing at the end of the car through which
the fresh air enters; and in the top of
the car are the ventilators proper which
provide an egress, thus creating a sue
ton. which keeps the air continually
changing. This suction, as is claimed.
does not depend upon the motion of the
car but the ventilation is accomplished
when the car is standing still. These
ventilators are being placed on the pri-
vate cars of General Manager Nudge
and General superintendent Resseguie
and the experiment is to be further tes-
ted on two boxcars that are being fit
