Want TO Change Name.

How would "Atchison, Topeka &
San Francisco sound?
The above is the name the people
of San Francisco desire the Santa Fee
railway to adopt. The enterprising
Californians have enlisted the aid of
the state board of trade in the scheme
to get the Santa Fe people to cut out
the ancient and famous city which
the Californians contemptuously dub
a way station" and substitute the
name of the extreme western terminal
of the transcontinental system.
1t goes without saying that the sug-
gestion will not be considered for an
instant. The name. Santa Fe," is the
right name and the Santa Fee without
Santa Fe" in the name would ut
once lose its individuality among rail-
way systems. The San Francisco peo-
pie, however, cannot see IL that way.

Have Leased "Swastika" toad.

Official announcement made by the
Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe railway
that the st. Louis. Rocky Mountain
& Pacific railway had been leased by
the Santa Fe for a period indefinitely
has dispelled practically all doubt as
to the intention of the road in refer
once to the much talked of extension
of the Englewood branch. The road
is located in northeastern New Mex
leo. 1t was built through the coal
region of that state and Is surveyed
into San Juan county, which is locat.
ed in the northwestern part of New
Mexico. Hiehty mites lf road us
now being operated, the eastern ter
minal being at Des Moines, which is
on the Colorado & Southern. or Fort
Worth & Denver, and but t~hirty-seven
miles west of the west line of Beaver
county, Okla. Englewood, the present
terminal of the Englewood branch of
the Santa Fe is less than two hundred
miles east of Des Moines. BY getting
control of the Rocky Mountain road,
the Santa Fe has shortened the dis
lance between Englewood and Ration,
the proposed western terminal of the
Mulvane Englewood branch, by over
fifty miles. What the Santa Fee re-
auires of that part of the road run
ming east of Ration to Des Moines,
unless it is to connect with the Engle-
wood branch, railway men are unable
to explain. As yet no grading has
been done at Englewood. There are
hundreds of scrapers, shovels and
picks unloaded at that pace. Extreme
cold weather has been given as the
u why no work has been done.
Bonds for the new road have been
offered for sale, but not in the name
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.
Officials of the Santa Fe deny that
the road is behind the company that
is to extend the Englewood branch.
