Santa Fe and Rock Island Lines Rur

Final Award

The Rock island and the Santa Zee
railroads are now waging a bitter war
for the government contract to carry
the mail between Los Angeles and the
east New trains have been put In
commision-the scheduled time of those
already running has been cut many
minutes-all in the effort TO secure the
remunerative service,
On November 12 the Santa Fe limited
was scheduled to arrive In Los Angeles
thirty minutes earlier than by former
schedule The Rock Island came back
at them with cut in the time of their
limited trains Of forty-ilve minutes
between Kansas city and Los Angeles.
The trains of the two roads now cover
this distance in exactly the same time,
according to schedule and have been
arriving on time every day.
The Rock Island has been carrying
the mail since the Santa Fe discon-
tinued their limited trains for the sum-
mer service 1t has so far received no
recompense but desires to secure the
permanent contract which Will be a
paying one this winter.
The country is divided into four sec
tions so far as the mail service is con-
cerned one section being weighed
every four years. The section east
from Los Angeles will be weighed next
spring and the compensation fixed by
this weighing will go into effect July
/, 1906.
Should the Rock Island retain the
through mail service until after the
Weighing the compensation the road
will receive vii be greatly increased
for four years. transportation of the
through mail between Los Angeles and
Chicago is estimated to be worth about
quarter of a million dollars a year.
One of the high postoffice officials
stated yesterday that under the present
conditions and the rules of the depart
mept the Rock Island will retain the
contract 1t is an imperative rule of
the postoffice department that mails be
carried on the train that makes the
| fastest time.
| Fast trains on both roads are now
making the same time, and in conse-
quence the contract will not be trans
| ferred from the line now having 1t to
another The only way that the Santa
Fe can secure the plum which they al
lowed to slip from their possession last
| summer is to run a train on a faster
schedule than any train on the Rock
Island. The latter road, however, has
designated it's unwillingness to give VI
what it already possesses by meet
ing every move on the part of the Santa
