RAILROAD NEWS.
Name of Western Part of Santa
Fe System is Changed.
Now Known as the ssSanta Fe
Coast Lines"
KENDRICK SUGGESTION
Third Vice President Said to
Have Invented the Name.
New Tickets Gave the First
Official Information.

Santa Fe Coast Lines is now the
official name for all that part of the
Santa Fe system which lies west of AL
buquerque. The change has just be-
come generally known as an official one,
though for some time there have been
rumorS that the officers of the road
were contemplating the abolition of the
cumbersome term which has been in
use. namely, Santa Fee lines west of
Albuquerque"
What is taken as the first official rec
ognition of the new name is the fact
that the new tickets and passes for the
western end of the Santa F'e system are
now being issued, and instead of being
good for passage over Santa Fe lines
west of Albuquerque are labelled San
ia F'e coast lines"
The credit for originating the new
name is generally given to Third Vice
President J. w. Kendrick- Mr.. Kend-
rick has spoken to several OF the local
officials of the road on the subject, and
aScertained their ideas. The first sug-
geStion of change was made by Mr..
Kendrick when he visited in Topeka
late last summer. At that time MIR.
Kendrick stated to the Topeka officers
that he was contemplating the change.
No official circular has been issued by
Mr.. Kendrick, so far as known here,
announcing the change, but the fact
that the 1902 issue of tickets all bear
the heading Santa Fe Coast Lines is
taken as evidence that the change is
officially made.
The new line is a, great Improvement
on the old one. The old one was long
and awkward, and Signified nothing to
the average passenger. The new name
is terse and euphonious, and it conveys
to the mind in forcible fashion the fact
that the Santa Fe has direct connec-
lions with the Pacific.
The only people who do not like the
new name are the Albuquerque railroad
men. They do not take at all kindly
to the change. They say that Coast
Lines might mean any one of dozen
systems, While lines west of Albuquer-
que" is a definite appellation- But
more important than that, to the minds
of the Albuquerque citizens, is the fact
that Albuquerque loses a lot of free ad
vertising by having its name omitted
from so common and important rail-
reading phrase
The Santa Fe Coast Lines comprise
three different systems, which are OPP
Grated under one management, but diff
ferent names. The Santa Fe Pacific
extends from Albuquerque to Bakers
field, Cal The San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley road extends from Ba-
kersfield to San Francisco, a distance of
about 375 miles. The third line is the
Southern California, which runs from
Rarstowe, on the Santa Fe Pacific, south
along the coast.

Follow Railroad Nomenclature.

San Francisco. Jan. 16.-The Brother
hood of Railway Employees has decided
that Chicago shall be it's future head
quarters, and today decided to hold it's
next convention there in May, 1904. The
question of ritual was taken up and the
convention decided that the nomencla
ture of the officers shall follow that of
railroading. The presiding officer of a.
division or lodge will be designated as
the manager, the vice president as the
superintendent, the marshals as con-
ductor and assistant conductor. The
inside sentinel will be known as the
Waterman and the outside sentinel as
the fiagman. The inside door will be
termed the inner block and the outside
door as the outer block, following the
block system in railroading.
The chief financial officer of the order
will be called the general auditor.
1t was also decided to place an or
ganization in the following cities: Port
land, San Francisco, Albuquerque,
Omaha Helena, Kansas City, Denver,
Fort Worth, Aberdeen, St Paul, Chi
cago, ST. Louis, Little Rock, New Or
leans. indianapolis, Columbus. Nash
vile, Atlanta, Washington. Pittsburg,

IN THE COURTS.
Question of Union Pacific Right of
Way to Be Settled.

Some time ago, the State Journal
printed a story concerning the attempt
of the Union Pacific to capture a
townsite in its line in central Kansas,
on the ground that the railway owns
its right of way for 200 feet on either
side of the track The old question has
come up again at Bavaria, a few miles
west of Salina-
The railroad company recently began
the construction of a big ditch Is feet
wide along the highway, which runs
parallel with the railroad track The
residents of the neighborhood objected
to the ditch being built along the pub
lie road and the county commissioners
were notified. On the refusal of the
company to cease in it's work construct
ing the ditch, an injunction was Sc
cured in the district court today and
the work was stopped by the sheriff.
The case will be heard in the district
court soon and the result will be watch
ed with interest as the decision in the
case either for or against the company
will effect persons all along the road
who own property adjoining the COM
pany'S right of way.

HOW IT WILL BE SPENT.
Plans For Disbursement of the $780,
100000 Santa Fe Bond Issue.

Chicago, Jan 16-The Record Herald
says that the management of the Santa
Fe has decided to spend $13000,000 for
equipment during the present year.
This statement was made by an official
of the company, who added that the
money would come from the proceeds
of the new issue of bonds to the
amount OF $4,000, 000 Just how the ex-
penditure is to be apportioned is not
stated, but it is known that an order
has been given for 5000 box cars, so
mammoth freight engines and 100 more
engines of smaller type, and that prac-
tfcally all of the passenger equipment
of the company is to be renewed.
The official statement regarding the
amount to be spent for equipment
makes it plain what is to be done with
the proceeds of the bond issue. 1t will
take fully 1900. 900 to give the COM
pany over 500 miles of new line free
from debt. This sum and the equip
ment appropriation taken from $50, 000,-
600 leaves $4,000 900. OF this amount
fully 100000 will go toward the new
terminals in San Francisco and the bal
ance viii be used for grade reductions,
etc.
1t is stated unofficially that the Santa
Fe is contemplating a Chicago-St. Louis
line by the way of the Chicago, Peoria
& St Louis road.
From Pekin to Peoria the terminal
railway line would be used, and thence

LITTLE HOPE FOR POOLING.
E D. Kenna Idea Not Likely to Be-
come Law.

Prominent officials of leading western
roads do not appear to have much faith
in getting legislation during the present
session of congress permitting railroads
to pool traffic. The interstate commerce
commission, which is now investigating
the rate situation, doubtless will recon-
mend the needed law. but the senators
are believed to be against the plan The
president of one of the big granger
roads said yesterday:
without going into the question
deeply, the public is of one voice on any
law permitting various lines of business
to merge. Their sentiments are radical
ly against such a thing with the rail-
roads, and a pooling law would be re-
garded as an extreme measure intended
to throttle the small shipper, notwith-
standing that the real result would be
quite the reverse. The senators know
this, and will not make themselves un-
popular. They may enact some modifi-
cation of the old law, but I cannot see
that such would help matters. Rate
cutting cannot be stopped unless the
law provides that one road can prose-
cute another for violation of its agree
ments- Such a law would be the limit,
however, and would carry so much pub
lie feeling against it that it can hardly
be looked for"

LONG LIVE UNCLE +. ID.
Drovers' Telegram Tells About Re-
porting Agricultural Meetings.

The following well deserved compli-
ment will be appreciated by everybody
who has ever tried to report" con-
vention of any sort. 1t is from the
Daily Drovers' Telegram, which had
two correspondents in Topeka last week
in attendance at the meeting of the
Stock Breeders association and the
State Board of Agriculture. 1t says:
1T is a decidedly refreshing expert
ence for newspaper men to attend an
annual meeting of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture. At most conven-
lions, from a bricklayerS' association to
an art society meeting, the newspaper
correspondents are kept in a continual
stew collecting data for publication,
making heads or tails out of the pro-
gramme or keeping track of the
speeches The early newspaper career
of Secretary Coburn thoroughly inn
pressed that gentleman'S mind, how
ever, and as a result the meetings of the
State Board of Agriculture are arranged
like clockwOrk- Copies of reports are as
plentiful as grasshoppers in June, and
the newspaper men have an easy time
of it. Long live our Uncle T. D."

SANTA FE STATISTICS.
Some of the Figures For Freight
Hauled in Fiscal Year.

During its last fiscal year the Santa
Fe carried 3,43O.000 tons of agricultural
products, 1,115,0O0 tons of animal prod
ucts, 3,435,000 tons of mineral products,
SS5.000 tons of lumber, 1925. 900 tons of
manufactured articles, 100000 tons of
merchandise and 425, 900 tons of mis-
cellaneous stuff. The most important
items are in order named: Bituminous
coal, wheat, live stock, lumber, stone
and sand. merchandise, corn, ores, fruits
and vegetables, cement and brick and
flour and cotton.
What is dug out of the ground equals
what is raised on top of it. Animal
products are nearly as important as
manufactured articles. The least i'm
portant item is tobacco. The shipments
of household goods exceed those of Ii
quors. Agricultural implements are on
a par with wagons and carriages.

the transcontinental mail is likely to be
effected by a plan that is now being
studied by officers of the Lake Shore

ment under consideration would obviate
the necessity for the through eastern
mail destined for points west of the
Mississippi river passing through Chi

where a connection is had with the Bur-
