RIPLEY TURNS
PEssIMIST, TOO
No More Railroad Building Declares
the President Of the Santa Fe
System.

Chicago, Oct, THE suggestion
that railroad building in the United
States is at an end, made by James j.
Hill of the Great Northern. found kim
dred sentiment in f. P. Ripley, presi-
dent of the Santa Fe. He said: Il be-
lieye there will not be much more
railroad building in this country so
long as the attitude of the public re-
mains as it is today"
What about rebuilding of lines as
they wear out?"
There will be no more of that than
is absolutely necessary, and what
there is will come out of the earn
ings. No money will be borrowed
wen to rebuild"
A more hopeful view of the situa-
ton is taken by President j. A. Har-
ahan of the Illinois Central.
There are bound to be more rail.
roads built in the United States" he
said, but | question whether we will
see much more construction for a
time, but whenever population de-
mands it, railroads will be built"

Board of Public Lands for an on be-
half of the Territory.
Complaint Is Very Voluminous
The complaint is quite lengthy and
covers thirty-three pages of typewrit-
ten matter. The allegations and aver
ments are many in number and in
many respects too technical for the
lay reader. The act of Congress
granting the lands in question to the
Territory provided for their admins,
tratlon and the disposition and the OBJ
jects to be attained by the United
States in making these donations for
Territorial Institutions.
The sale of the lands in question to
the Pennsylvania Development com
pany, which was finally consummated
under the recent unlamented fake re-
form administration, by Ex-Governor
Herbert j. Hagerman, who delivered
the final deeds for the lands improper
ly and illegally to the Territorial ag-
ent Of the Pennsylvania Development
company, has been before the people
of New Mexico for over a year in
very prominent manner and the insti.
tuition of this suit attracts but little
attention as matters have been fully
discussed and it was well known that
it would be brought. The case is simp-
ly one for the lawyers and it is pre-.
sumed it will be carried to the highest
court of the land for final adjudication
and settlement.
