Waco, in a northwestern direction, to
Stamford, and is 225 miles long. 1t
is being extended another fifty or
sixty miles northwest from Stamford,
and 1t is reported that this move is
being prompted by the Santa Fe in
order to make the extension on to the
Pecos Valley lines at Texico.
During the close of the tourist sea-
son, or just before the S25 rate from
Missouri river points to California,
was taken off, all of the available
rolling stock of the Santa Fe was put
into service in order to handle the
traffic. Many tourist sleepers and
chair cars were brought out which
had been quietly reposing on various
side tracks of the company for many
months. These old cars were taken
east, after the rush, by freight crew
and engines, and being empty, from
fourteen to twenty were made into
one train. Last week, a crew in go
ing east over the Glorieta mountain
pulled six drawbars out of one train Of
these se~cond-class cars.
The winter schedule went into eff
feet on the Santa Fe yesterday.
Trains No. 9 and 10, went on for the

travel. The w%estbound limited Will
make the time in one and one-nalf
hours less than formerly, the time all
being cut of the east end, the train
making up the time in the run from
Chicago to Ash Fork, Ariz. The time
now announced on the %eastbound train
Is the anne as at present, and only
minor changes are made in other
trains.

querque tomorrow evening. Details of
the new time card will be found in an
