"The Santa Fe will build from Dodge

Santa Fc main line with the Rock

point in New Mexico. where the new
Santa Fc cut OF crosses the Rock
Island. a distance of $50 miles. the
Santa Fc will use the Rock Island
tracks. From this point the Rock

This will probably blot ou. the
plans OF both roads for rebuilding

sition lines.
"The plan for rebuilding the Santa

ita, Wellington and Alva, but will go
west from Newton to Hutchinson.

The Santa Fe and Rock Island have
