panied by Vice President Braithwaite
and P. D. Tucker of London; DR.. Leo

ford and Frank Seamans of New York,
and c. w. Whitehead. D. ]. Huff and
Edwin Dickson of Kansas City. Presi-
dent Stilwell says there is plenty of
money available to construct the road,
the estimated cost of which is $24, 900, =
600, and of this sum $1S, 100, 900 has all
ready been secured. All the work thus
far accomplished has been done with
out the sale of a single bond, or the
placing of a mortgage. BY the terms
of a contract the Hamburg american
line will furnish a steamer service be-
tween Topolobampo and the far east.
In addition to this their boats from
Central and South America will call at
the Orient's Pacific terminals to un-
load and take on freight and passen-
gers. There is also a service contem-
plated to and from Australia.
1t is hoped that the maximum grade
of the Orient will be as low as 2 per
cent . To start with it will not eX-
coed 21a per cent. The heaviest grade
is encountered in the mountains west
of Chihuahua, all of which is found
in comparatively short distance. The
entire remaining length of the line
does not exceed / per, cent. 1t is eX-
pected the line will be finished and
ready for operation the entire distance

DENIES THE CHARGE.
President Ripley Says Santa Fe
Freight Service Is Good.

of great obstacles. 1t has been most
unfortunate that our eastern connec-
tons nave been, by reason of unusual
weather, unable to second our efforts
and have not only been unable to make
good time with the fruit, but have also
failed to return our cars.
Regarding nigh rates, it is stated
that our rates are the same as ten
years ago. when the business was
much smaller. which is true. But It is
also true that in order to handle the
present volume of transcontinental
traffic the railroads have had to be
practically rebuilt and very large in
vestments made in car and locomotive
equipment. We are paying about so
per cent. more for coal, 25 per cent
more for wages. so per cent. more for
ties, rs per cent more for rails and
from 10 to 200 per cent. more for sup
plies than we were ten years ago, yet
our rates remain the same. Can this
be said of anything else that the COM
munity or the orange grower pays
for?.-
Mr.. Ripley says in reply to the
charge that the Santa Fe refrigerator
cars do not afford the fruit proper
protection from cold and heat, that he
believes them as good as any on the
market. Regarding exorbitant icing

contention that the railroads do not

WILL SAVE 100000.
Santa Fe Cuts Working Hours at San
Bernarlino Shops.

The big shop whistle didn't blow at
the usual hour this morning, and many
persons not in touch with what goes
on among the employees wondered. Had
they asked any railroad man or his
family last evening they would have
been told that shortly before quitting
time last night bulletins were posted
at the various shops announcing
reduction in the hours of work from
10 to hours, that is from a. IN.
to p. m. This is the first time in
the history of the local shops that such
an order has been effective, but as a
whole the men are satisfied, having
taken the best horn of a dilemma,
which for some months has been fac
ing the company.
1t was either reduce the hours or lay
off between $50 and 300 men. The men
didn't want the force reduced for no
one could tell who would get under
the axe, but they readily agreed to a
reduction of the hours, feeling that the
burden could be more easily borne by
each man than have number of them
completely swamped by being cut off
from work.
The reduction was anticipated, even
hoped for, as there was only one other
alternative, which meant the reduction
of the force. It is expected by the men
that the eight hour order will continue
in force until late in September, by
which time the company will have
saved in the neighborhood of $50 900
through the cut in the wage expenses
here.
1t is thought in some quarters that
the 1aborers will raise a howl and at
tempt to effect a better settlement, as
they are the only class which will
suffer overnuch by the new order of
things.-San Bernardino Tirnes-Index.
