RAILROAD NEWS.
Greatest Year in Santa Fe's
History Closed Yesterday.
Earnings Increased at Rate of
100000 Month.
FINE PROGRESS MADE
Physical Aspect of Property Is
Wonderfully Improved.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company closed the greatest
year in its history yesterday. Its gross
earnings will be considerably in adj
vance of those of any ether II months,
having grown at the rate of more than
S1.000,000 month, as compared with
the previous year, which also was a
record breaker. Net earnings have in
creased at the rate of about $250.000.
For ten years the Santa Fe has been
growing steadily in Importance. So far
as its present mileage is concerned, al
ready it is one of the greatest systems
in the country 1t now has under OPP
GRAFTON $3.50 miles of road, and It's
length is being added to constantly. The
most important work. before it is the
linking up of it's Pacific coast and gulf
lines, when it VIII have a direct line
not only from Chicago to Los Angeles
and San Francisco, but. one from Gal
weston to both those California points.
In an age of progress in the railroad
world there has been no more progress
sive road than the Santa Fe. Those
now in its control do not appear to have
allowed any opportunity for improve
ment and expansion to have escaped
them. From bankrupt concern,
threatened with complete disintegratton,
within a decade it has been transform
ed into one of the most complete and
profitable systems of the country, able
to pay the holders of its common stock
dividends of per cent on the par value
of their holdings. Nor have these div1-
den6s been at the expense of the physi-
cal condition OF the property. Large
sums have been spent on the improve
ment and maintenance of the roadbed
and equipment.
During the last year nearly one-third
of the gross earnings have been spent
on the maintenance of way and equip
ment This is an unusually high pro-
portion, and it has resulted in a marked
in the value of the pro-
nerty. contributing in no small degree
TO the increased earning power and its
more economical operation. The great
er portion of the system now is laid
with heavy steel rails. The motive
power also has been increased enor-
Many of the radical improve
mems have been required by the rapid
development of the territory served by
its lines. The density of traffic in all

MOTOR LINE FOR EMPoRIA.
w. A. Whites Town to Have Track
less Car System.

Emporia, July 1.-The Emporia Motor
Line company promises to be the name
of Emporia's trackless street car sys-
tenn. George Merwin, who has for years
been a Santa Fe conductor out of En-
poria, is the protector of the company.
The plan is to get four or five large
motor cars with seven seats, each seat
large enough comfortably to seat six
passengers. Mr.. Merwin had dia-
gram showing the plan of the car.
These cars will have regular scheduled
runs, the same as street cars. For ex-
ample, one car will be run between the
two railroad stations; another between
the Normal and Soden's Grove, and per
haps every hour on some particular
street, so that women who desire to
ride to town can do So. The price for
ride will be five cents, the same as is
charged for a ride on a street car.
Mr.. Merwin does not intend to buy
four cars to start with, but it is his plan
to get one car here for the Fourth of
July celebration, and second for the
ChautauQua.

Beat 2-Cent Fare Order.

In an effort to have the 2-cent fare
law in Pennsylvania declared uncon-
stitutional the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, operating the
Pittsburg and Connelsville road, has
filed an equity suit al Uniontown ask
ing that the act be declared void and
that the defendant, the County of Fay
cite, be perpetually enjoined from de-
handing of the plaintiffs or bringing
any suit against them for the recovery
of any penalty imposed by the act
in case the plaintiffs shall not comply
with the act. 1t is said the officers and
counsel of the Baltimore and Ohio be-
lieve they have better grounds for a
suit in Fayette county that in any
other county in Pennsylvania because
the charter under which the Pittsburg
and Connellsville road is operated
was granted before the present state
constitution was adopted.
