SANTA FE MAKING
NEW DEALS
In the Way Of Improve
mentS to Road Bed and
Rolling Stock

The Santa re is beginning import
nAt reconstruction work on its far
western lines. The first. as announc-
ed some days ago. is the relaying Of
the track between Barstow and
Moiave. a distance of n miles with
75-pound steel rails. The rails now
used on that particular portion Of the
line are of 56-pound weight
When the Santa Fe completes this
work the entire system west of Albu-
querque will have been practically
rebuilt, the work covering a period Of
four years. The reconstruction has
been carried on under circumstances
that hindered more or less. Traffic
has been very heavy to California,
and the work on the track has been
undertaken now because of a lull in
the business just at this season. The
matter of securing laborers for the
track work has been somewhat en-
barrassing. For several years white
labor has not been much employed on
the road in New Mexico and Arizona,
Japs having been largely employed
Recently, however. the Japanese have
becoD,e scarce and Mojave and Nava-
jo Indians have been put on as labor
ers. The pay runs from S11O to S1.75
per day.
Other western improvements which
the Santa Fe is making is the string
ing of new copper wire west of Al
buquerque The work of putting on
new cross-arms for the additional
wire is all that has been done so far
but the Los Angeles people are fgur-
ing on the now line into Chicago by
August 1. The business of the Santa
Fe has increased to such an extent
within a short time lately that the
new wire has become a necessity.
The Postal and Western Union are
each preparing to string new wires
along the Santa Fe's right Of way. The
last named company has always had a
monopoly along the route of the Santa
Fe, but the Postal has now determined
to parallel its opponent and Will use
it's own route throughout the entire
distance
When the fact became known to
the Western Union that company de-
termined to stretch an additional line
and thus have a brand new outlet to
and from the Pacific coast Neither
of these lines have, as yet, been
started.
