PLANS FOR THE DANCE.
San Bernardino Shopmen Will Make
Merry Saturday Might

San Bernardino Cal. Nov. 27.-Plans
for the big blowout with which the

Santa Fe shops west of I street next
Saturday night, are going merrily on,
and it is expected that the entertain
ment which will be afforded those who
find their way TO the mill building on
that evening will be In every respect
worthy Of the host of good fellows who
are planning it
Yesterday General Foreman Swanson,

from the top" saying that it would be
impossible for the company to allow the
men to have dance in the upper floor
of the mill, owing to the condition of
the bracing, but that they were well
come to the ground floor. This, to a
certain extent put a damDer on the
grand ball feature Of the programme
as the fine flooring of the mill had been
counted u9on- The committee on ar
rangements have, however. partially de-
cided to stretch canvas on the floor be-
low. in which event all will be well
But then, even though the dancing be
laid aside. the programme committee is
arranging for SO many other excellent
numbers, that it will not be missed
For. there will be music and speech
making. and best of all. bountiful sup
ply of refreshments.

defray the expenses of the evening

Somewhere along the road a bum en-
tered the car. opened up several bags of
confetti, and poured the stuff out be-
tween a couple of boxes. He then
threw the sacking down over the con-
fetti- Next he opened a box of piano
covers and robes. which he used as a
cover. OF course he got hungry and
opened up several boxes of fancy cakes
and cookies and other canned goods
which he devoured to his hearts con-
tent. The only thing that was lacking
was water and booze. This, however, he

USE SANTA FE TRACKS.
San Pedro Road Makes a Trackage
Agreement from RedIands.

Chicago Nov Ex-senator Thomas
Kearns of Utah and Richard G Kerens
Of St Louis have held a conference here
on matters connected with the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail
road They said that all the contests
and the legal obstacles over the right
of way had been disposed of. and that
the road would be completed as rapidly
as men and money could do the work.
We have completed 112 miles in
southern California" said Mr. kerens.
and construction is progressing on the
remaining $50 miles from Salt Lake.
That part of the road now built con
meets with the Santa Fe at RedIands.
Cal, and our trains will run over the
Santa F,e track to a point in Arizona,
where we will have another junction for
the line from the north
In Utah the arrangements are to &C
quire by lease or purchase what IS
known as the Oregon Short Line and
thus get an independent entrance to
Salt Lake City. It is understood by all
the parties interested that no parallel
lines shall be constructed in that re-
gion.''

THAT CUTOFF DEAL
Santa Fe Official Discusses the Rock
Island Traffic Alliance.

In regard to the rumored traffic alliance
between the Santa Fe and Rock Island,
which was told of in Wednesdays State
Journal. the following interview attrib-
uted TO a prominent Santa Fe official
in the FL P1so Herald is OF interest:
When the line is completed t will give
not only the Santa Fe short cut to
California. but it will also give the Rock
Island system a shorter line to California
than they have at present by FL Paso
and the Southern Pacific and I think It
safe to say that the Rock Island viii take
advantage Of this short line and make
traffic agreement with the Santa Fe
whereby the latter line will handle the
traffic between the crossing of the East
ern railway of New Mexico and the Rock
Island and California. as that will give
the Rock Island almost a straight Tiue
into Los Angeles and will materially
shorten the distance to other California
points
"Of course. at the present time nothing
definite has been dore along this line but
it is safe TO say that at this stage the
Rock Island people cannot afford to over
look this chance to get to California By
shorter route than they have at present
and they will certainly take advantage
of it
