" rs extending Lines IN Vicinity OF san
Francisco.
San Francisco, March 24.-The Santa
Fe railroad company is rapidly perfecting
it's plans for establishing rail me to
connect it's Humboldt county properties
with this city. Captain A. II. Payson, as
sistant to the PRESIDENT and Assistant
Traffic Manager w. A. Bissell, who eXer-
cises executive control of Santa Fee affairs
in California, have gone into Eureka,
Humboldt county, accompanied by sur
veying party in charge of F. NJ. Bisbee,
of the engineering department OF the
Santa Fe. The information is given out
that the purpose Of their trip is to inaug-
urate the work Of extending the COM
pany's recently acquired Humboldt lines
southwark toward Williets, the northern
terminus of the California Northwestern
road, in Mendocino.
An announcement that the California
Northwestern has passed under Santa Fe
control is expected.
In connection with this anticipated rail-
| road deal. the incorporat ton in this city Of
the Fort Bragg & Southeastern road is of
interest. 1t is to run from Fort Bragg
in Mendocina county to Healdsburg in
Sonoma county.
1t is suggested that this line may be
part of a road to parallel the California
Northwestern, to be constructed by J. j..
Ftill,' in pursuance Of his plan to- enter
San Francisco from: the north. The in
corpora tors of the Fort Bragg road include
G.. B. Shaw, a Chicago banke". and the

Reconstruction,
Notwithstanding this great activity in
the building of new lines, the work of
reconstruction is still proceeding on
large scale. Many Of the large systems
are engaged in relocation and rebuilding
of great Importance, involving the expend-
iture of millions. of dollars and alto
gether 1908 promises to be a record year If
the vast sums to be. expended In recon-
stluction are added to the millions being
absorbed in the building of new lines.
In addition to the work in the United
States there will be large amount OF
building in Canada, where three trans
continental lines are projected. While
1T, is impossible to tell now how many OF
these plans will be materialized in actual
construction there is small reason to DOUBT
that Canada will in the next few years be
the scene of far-reachng developments III
transportation facilities. With it's vast
ma tural resources and continuation of
the almost startlingly large scale Of I'M
migration which has been noticeable In
the last twelvemonth, it will not be sur
prising if several Of the large schemes
which are as yet only on paper should be
realized in very tangible form.

Totals /.

OF the $500 miles under contract. over
5000 miles are being built in the interest
of eighteen companies. indicating that
the larger portion Of the new work is be-
ing carried on by the great systems. The
Rock Island system has $50 miles under
contract, in addition to many extensions,
some of which will be built this year. The
st. Louis & San Francisco has 755 miles
under contract. with numerous other ex-
tensions surveyed. While the consolida-
ton Of these two systems will prevent
the construction Of some Of the lines, it
will hardly affect any work under way.
Activity In the Southwest.
The Missouri Pacific has 4e1 miles under
construction in Louisiana, Arkansas and
Missouri and has other important work
laid out The Wabash has 2S8 miles under
contract orready for bids on its eastern ex-
tension. with surveys in progress on the
remaining links necessary to complete its
line through to the Atlantic coast. The
Missouri Kansas & Texas Is building 1854
miles of new line. most Of which is in
Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and the
Santa Fee system has 296 miles under con-
tract In Oklahoma. New Mexico and Ari-
IONA. with a still larger mileage pro-
jected.
The southwestern states have for several
years past added a larger percentage OF
new mileage than any other group and
1927 miles, or nearly one-half of the mile
age under contract are credited to- this
group. In Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory work is in progress on more than / .40C
miles of road. In Texas over 1000 miles
are under contract. while Missouri has 5S1
miles, Arkansas 500 and New Mexico 300
miles under way.
Next to the southwestern states, the
southern states will make the largest con-
tribution to the new mileage of the year
