SANTA f CENTRAL
A New Story About the Den
yer and Ell Paso Short Line.

The Denver Republican has the fol-
lowing interesting news about che
Santa Fe Central. 1t Is IN old story
and will doubtless call forth the usual
denials:
The Goulds have purchased the
Denver & Ell Paso Short line, which
runs from Santa .Fe to Torrance, n.
M. ZIG miles and will build in the
gan of 165 miles between Torrance
and FL Paso. This will put Denver in
a direct line with FL Paso via Alamo
gordo and Salida or W~alsenberg. 1t
will also give Denver direct connec-
ton with Mexico and the Pacific
coast over the Gould system OF rail-
roads.
The transfer of the Short Line was
made the first Of the week, and the
Gould people are now preparing 10
commence work on the extension.
The new acquisition and the proposed
new construction of the gap in ques-
ton is a matter of great moment in
the railroad world. The Goulds own
the Texas Pacific system from Ell
Paso through Texas, up through AR
kansas and over the Iron Mountain
road to st. Louis, as well as through
Louisiana to New Orleans. Since the
Rock Island built through Dalhart,
Texas, from Kansas City the Texas
Pacific has been shorn of much OF the
vast business to and from that Texas
border city and gateway to Mexico.
The Goulds have been trying to SC,
cure an offset to this loss of advan-
tage and to encompass this the rival
road has acquired the Santa Re & El
Paso Short Line for the purpose OF
extending ii. BY extending 1t to Tel
paso not only is a direct line made
to the Rocky Mountain country with
all its vast resources, but also one
to the east over the Gould system.
An agreement has been entered into
before the purchase OF the Short Line
by the Goulds and the Santa Fe peo-
pie that the line should not be extend
ed from Santa Fe. And in order 10
avoid breaking this agreement the
Goulds will build the extension from
Ell Paso to Torrance. While the
move is a clever piece Of work, it
does not violate the stipulation in
question.
With this next line Denver will be
brought closer to the New Mexico
and Texas fields. It means a wider
business scope for Denver and a
greater market for the manufactured
agricultural and mineral products OF
Colorado. Another thing it means Is
that the Mexican ores will be brought
direct to Denver via Ell Paso for
smelling. 1t Is estimated that this
industry alone will be benefited,
double by the new line.
