SOLD THEIR SANTA FE STOCK
Interests Said to Have
Loosened Their Grin.

New York. April 27-There is a we'll
founded belief among railroad men that
the Moores ard their associates in the
Rock Island mana cement have disposed of
all their holdings in the Chicago & North
western Railway company According 10
Wall street report. the Moore Leeds Reid
combination began to dispose of their
Northwestern stock soon after the latest
annual election of that company. when
the Vanderbilts declined to give the Rock
Island interest representation on the board
Tt was stated on authority at that time
that ex-Judge Moore and his friends
held uliy as much Chicago aud

individually. but that Mr.. Vanderbilt had
the support of Marshall Field. Marvin

was able to vote about three-duarters Of

bit. has acquired a large block of North
western stock within the last eighteen
months.
There is also report that the Moores
purchased" Atchison stock with the pro
eeeds Of their sales of the Northwestern.
There are many points of connection be-
tween the Atchison and the Rock Island
systems and a close community of in
terest between the two did not seem lln-
likely. Recently, however, Wall street has
been under the impression that the Rock
Island people have been selling Atchison

Depends Oh the Rock Island
Traffic Alliance.
Lakin, Syracuse and Dodge Are
Rival Candidates.

Dodge City. Kan. April 27.-The i'm
preston that the Santa Fe cutoff wiz
be built is stronger now than at any
time in the past Mr.. Jones. the loeat-
ing engineer for the Santa FEES new
lines rented office rooms in Dodge City
and viii bring a force of clerks here.
In renting the rooms Mr.. Jones said
that he would want them several
months, and very possibly for year
1t was reported yesterday on the
street that Superintendent Ayers had
stated positively that the Dodge CITY
cutoh was certainty. Mr.. Ayers says,
however. that he did not give out such
q report, and that he has no such
knowledge He looks upon the present
prospects as very favorable for the
building of the road from Dodge City,
but has no definite information regard
ing it from headquarters.
Mr.. Jones, the engineer, evidently is
OF the opinion that the short cut Will be
soon built trom Dodge City to Liberal,
on from here straight to Albuquerque
The matter of whether or not the Santa
lie and Rock Island win enter into a
traffic alliance seems to be still hanging
fire, and until this is settled definitely
the building plans of the Santa Fe Will
be undecided.
that the Santa Fe will build from here
either to Albuquerque or Liberal. So
long as it starts from Dodge City it
does not make any great difference TO
this town where the other end of the
line goes.
The offices to be established here by
Mr.. Jones viii have charge Of the road
bed improvements from kinsley to this
point as well as the proposed new line.
The rooms rented for the offices are
over the l.. Martin feed store.
The report was out a day or two ago
that line had been surveyed south
from Syracuse for the Santa Fe cutoff.
Such a line was surveyed but nothing
more will come of it as The line was
found next to impossible for railroad
building. A line could be brought into
Lakn from the south but it would be
much longer and less desirable in many
ways than the proposed line from
Dodge City.
Taking everything Into consideration
the cutoff" from Dodge City seems to
be gradually settling down into a GER
tainty and when the official announce
ment comes everybody viii be pretty
well prepared for it.

IT MUST HAVE RAINED.
Engineer Tells a Water Story About
New Mexico

Engineer Tells a Water Story About
New Mexico.
A correspondent of the Las Vegas
New Mexican says that the Choctaw
road is pushing construction on its
grade into Tucumcari at a rapid rate.
All along from Tucumcari to Amarillo
grading camps are strung over the praI-
RE and the grade viii be finished by
September 1, laying of steel to follow as
the different sections are graded. The
line will run at an easy grade, in fact
there is no difficult construction work
to be done along the entire distance,
there being no rivers and but few ar
royos to cross
Water is plentiful and the engineer
in charge of the construction told the
writer that yesterday a few miles be-
yond Tucumcari the graders scraped
out four to five feet of soil and the hoI-
low quickly filed up with good water.
Division offices will be located at Tu-
cumcari after the Choctaw road reaches
the town. The ground has been sur
veyed for round houses and shops and
Tucumcari win be an important divis-
ion and junction point. The completion
of the Santa Fe cut off to LIano and of
the Santa Fe Central will send by way
of Tucumcari much of the immense
traffic that goes by way of Las Vegas
and Albuquerque now, necessitating the
residence at the town of additional en-
CINE and train crews.

that in the future economy was to be the

pecially careful in regard to supplies.
A short time afterwards he was making
a trip over the road IN handcar anu
while inspecting a piece Of track lately re-
paired he noticed a big railroad spike lying
under a bush alongside the track He
picked it up, put it in his pocket and when
he met the foreman Of that section lie
said:

The new survey is for a new roadbed
and If accepted by the Santa Fe, viii
cause the road to rebuild practically all
of its track from Wellington to Amaril-

the surveyors met another surveying

they Jumped" from Woodward to Alva-
The track between Alva and woodward

the Panhandle 1t winds around among
hills. following the ravines The new
survey cuts through the hills and takes
q direct route from A1va to Woodwari.
This side of Alva the survey follows
pretty closely the present roadbed. but
provides for numerous fills and cuts to
reduce grades. 1t also provides. it is
said, for the overhead crossing at the
junction in the southwest part of town.
The survey IS significant in connec-
tion with the west end cutoff talk.
