TELEGRAPHERS' TOURNAMENT
Texas Operators Garry Off the Honors
at Atlanta, Georgia.

At the first annual tournament of the
American Photographers Tournament
associa ton, held at Atlanta, Ga, a few
days ago, F. NJ. McCIintick, chief OPP
orator of the Associated Press lines in
Texas, stationed at Dallas, and E. E.
Bruckner, of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany of Texas, at Dallas, carried off
nearly all the honors. The worlds
championship for the best all around
telegrapher went to McClintick. Along
with this went the Carnegie diamond
medal, valued at $500 and itself a work
of art, being made of gold studded with
handsome diamonds.
A new record for endurance and speed
was established in this class, McClintick
turning out the cleanest press copy and
sending SIT words in a ten-minute test
of straight Morse.
In sending Bruckner won over Nc
Clintick by a narrow margin. McClin-
tick sent 247 words and Bruckner did
the same, but in the errors McClintick
had two while Bruckner had only one.
The sending and receiving was done
under rather trying conditions for the
operators, the instruments being placed
in an aisle of the Kimball house ball
room with a large audience of repre-
sentative ladies and gentlemen on both
sides of them.
The message class was decided in IA
vor of Bruckner after a terrific struggle,
in which he sent nine complete ten
word MESA ges in five minutes, timing
each one as he sent. The winner of
second place only sent eight and one
half MESA geS.

A director of the Pennsylvania road in

The underground terminal in Paris

for station, tunneling, etc, have not yet
been fixed, MOI. have tbs plans yet been

extending subscription privileges to Penn

been considered but not decided
We do not anticipate serious oppo-
sition to our charters for the New York
and New Jersey companies either at AL
bany or Trenton. Legislatures, how
ever, are proverbially slow. Jersey
City'S local government will not be con-
erned, as there will be no underground
road through that place. Both COM
panies viii be permanent, bearing some
similarity to the Trenton Bridge COM
pany. Comparisons, however, with the

similar organizati lions are out OF place
on account of the huge scale on which
money win be spent in New York.

Santa Fe Director Expects Much
From New Motive Power.

Speaking of the recent additions to
the equipment of the Santa FHe road and
the results, a director of that company
said:
The latest experiments are bearing
out our previous reports as to the saw
ing from our new motive power. Our
experts estimated that something over
installation of new engines and cars
and the use of oil as fuel on the great
er part of the system. The figures which
our engineers furnished were. taken
conserva lively, but we did not count on
any such saving as they had predicted.
We now find that there is every rea-
son to believe that the savings will far
exceed their estimates Whereas our
early figures placed the yearly saving
at something over $1,000. 600, it is now
almost certain that 81, 100000 is a more
reasonable estimate of the amount to be

THAT ROSWELL EXTENSION.
Santa Fe May Be Forced to Build
Short Line to FL Paso.

The Ell Paso Herald thinks that the
Santa Fe will be forced to extend its
line from Roswell to Ell Paso- 1t says:
1T is very likely that the big mail
people instead of the Santa Fe will re-
suit in an extension of the latter road
from Roswell, N. M, to FL Paso. A
few weeks since Avery Turner, presi-
dent and general mana ger of the PecoS
road was in Ell Paso and admitted that
it had been the object of the Santa Fre
people to build from Roswell to Ell
PaSO and that arrangements had been
commenced to that effect when it was
announced that the Rock Island people
would build in here from Liberal, Kan
SaS. After that announcement the pro-
posed Roswell extension was dropped,
but Mr.. Turner further intimated that
it might at any time become necessary
for the Santa F'e to build the extension
in order to compete with the new road.
The first inciSiOn Santa F'e trade
came yesterday when the big mail con-
tract among the largest, was taken
from them by the Rock Island route.
If the Rock Island people capture all
the trade which they expect to, it will
become entirely necessary for the Santa
Fe people to build in here from Ros-
we'll in defense of their trade.
"A look at the map will readily show
that an Ell Paso-Roswell extension of
the Santa Fe would give that road one
of the shortest possible routes from
Chicago to the Great Southwest.
THE shortest possible route for the
Santa Fe from Chicago to California
would be brought about by an extern
sion of that road from Amarillo, Texas,
to Los Lunas, N. NJ.
Just what will be the outcome of the
competition of the Rock Island with
the Santa Fe is hard to say but the fact
that that road now has the shortest
route to this territory will in all prob
ability cause something to be doing in
southwest railroad circles in the near
future''

gained by the changes contemplated in
this department
Further advices also as to the prob
able earnings of the road during the
fiscal year of 1902 make it certain that
at least 8 per cent. on the common Will
be earned in 1902. There are other con-
siderarions which make it impossible for
me to hesitate in saying that the inter-
est on the debenture bonds will be
saved and enough will be laid aside to
pay off the principal as it falls due and
in addition to these funds, the dividend
and surplus resources will be much
larger than the majority of friends of
the road anticipate''
