NOT A RIPPLE.
Santa Fe Bond Issue Plan Goes
Through.
Only a Small Number of OppOs-
ing Votes.

Practically no opposition was de-
veloped at the meeting of the stock
holders of the Santa Fe, held in Cen
eral Manager Fl. U. Mudge's office to-
day, to the proposition of increasing
the common stock of the company and
issuing $4,000, 600 convertible bonds.

shares of stock each, aggregating a
total of 309 shares.

shares of preferred and 873.O1S shares
of common, aggregating a total of l.
699, 22O shares, were voted in favor of
the proposition.
The common stock of the company
is thereby increased from $102, 000,-
600 to.$152, 100000.
The purchasers of the issue of $780,
900, 600 of bonds will be allowed the
privilege of converting the bonds into
common stock at any time the holder
chooses The bonds will bear 4 per
cent. interest.

stock which may be secured in ex-
change for each bond at the option of
the holder. If the common stock ever
go> 5 to par, or above par, the holder
of the bonds would find it profitable
to exchange.
The money which will be realized
from the sale of the bonds will all be
used in the extension of the property
along such lines that it may be charge
able to the capital account
It is understood that no work such
as the reducing of grades and eIiminat-
ing curves, and the betterment of the
property in the nature of improvement
of existing lines. may be carried on
with the money received from the
sale of the bonds.
| The money will have to be used
solely in building or acquiring actually
new and additional mileage or prop
erty. Work on existing lines is taken
care of in a separate account

strike there.

without a plan of action and are seem
ingly commencing to realize that with
out arms it is folly to resist the
troops. If the strikers are paralyzed
