with offices at Chicago. where the
paper is published once month.
One of the recent articles in the
new number sets forth in convincing
figures the efforts which have been
made by the Santa Fe to relieve the
car shortage. The same claim is
made which all the other roads made.
namely. that the car companies can
not fill their orders. Statistics are
given to show that the Santa Fe has
in the last five years purchased
N.5l2 cars. 5000 Of which the COM
panies have so far been unable to
deliver. In the same time $50 en-
gines have been purchased. The
carrying capacity Of the freight cars
was increased in 1906 by 2l.5 per
cent. and has been increased 96.23
per cent since 1901. With the fiRur.s
to show that it has doubled its ca
pacity in five years. the Santa Fe
seems able to successfully maintain
its claim that it has made an honest
effort to keep abreast with the needs
Of the times.
