COMPLETION Of THE
CUTOFF WILL
Be DELAYED
Now Expected to Be July l.
1908, Before Entire New Line
Can Be Turned Over to the
Operating Department 9

According to we'll informed Santa
Fe men. ii will probably be July -
1905. before the entire line of the cut
off can be turned over to the Operat-
ing department, although local train
service will undoubtedly have been es-
tablished over much OF the new line
before hat time. Grant Brothers
Construction company has practically
completed its part OF the contract for
the laying Of the rae between Belen
and Rio PuercO. The laying of rails on
this part of the line was completed the
first of his week. and only two small
culverts remain to be built, wher the
line will be open for trains. II is ex-
pected that the work east OF Belen
will have so far progressed by the
first of the year as to allow of the AL
buauerque-Roswell daily train service
being established.

Seligman, AriZ., Nov. 15.-The Al
buquerque division, which now extends
from Albuquerque, y. M, II Seligman,
Ariz., a distance of 42S.S miles, will
be shortened SOS miles between Feb
ruary 2S, 1908. and June 30. 1908. in
compliance with the federal law that
a railroad shall not keep an employe
on duty more than sixteen hours a
day.
While the change will create a new
division between Williams and King
man, Ariz., and also lessen the Arizona
division. ii will hit hard at the little
town of Seligman, which now has a
population of 500 people.
The change will mean a REPETITION Of
the change some time ago when the
Albuquerque division which then ran
TO Peach Springs was shortened 81
miles. leaving Peach Springs with only
a siding, after 1t had secured nearly
400 people.
The change will mean a repetition Of
the birth Of a new town between
Peach Springs and Kingman. Arig.,
which will secure the division point
for the Arizona and the new division,
which has To date not bee named.
Already the property owners in
Seligman are ~disposing of their hold
ings and moving westward, settling in
various towns between Peach Springs
and kingman, hoping thar the new
own which the Santa Fe is to build
will be located near their homes.
The creation of the new division will
also materially lessen the jurisdiction
of T.. j. Gibson, superintendent of the
Albuquerque division. who now also
has the Grand Canyon railway to look
after.

DISPUTES FIGURES
DISPUTES FIGURES
Recommendation Is Made
That the Excavating Be
Done by Contract

NEW YORK. April 2I.-A
Washington special to the World
says:
Serious reflections have been cast
by Major George w. Goethals. chief
engineer Of the Panama canal, upon
the work done by his predecessor. John
F. Stevens Major Goethals charges
in an official communication to the
war department that the reports made
by former Chief Engineer Stevens re-
garding the large amount of dirt exca-
waited from the Panama canal are not
in accord with tsss facts. Major Coo
thais charges tlial much of the dirt
excavated from the canal route under
the Stevens administration was dumped
in places from which it will have to be
removed later.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1907-04-22

Former Chic Engineer Stevens re-
ported officially to the war department
that he had excavated in the month of
January 566.75O cubic yards: in Febru-
ary s3s,644 cubic yards, and in March
S15,a7o cubic yards. He estimated that
in March 100000 cubic yards would
be excayated.
Major Goethals declares that instead
of these figures representing the work
actually done they are based on the es-
Inmates of the capacity of the steam
shoveIs and how much work they could
perform each month. These figures
did not cover the days when the show
els were idle or were being repaired.
These estimates. says Major Goethals,
were made on loose earth after it was
excavated and the measurements are
not accurate
He has also forwarded TO the war
department profile survey which, he
says. demonstrates the fact that much
of the dirt that has been excavated
has been dumped in wrong places and
will have to be removed again, the
purpose having apparently been to
push the excavators to their limit so
as to make a record regardless of eff
fectiveness of the work. Major Goeth-
ais concludes with a strong recommen-
dation that the work of excavating the
canal be let by contract.
When questioned regarding the
charges made by Major GoethaIs.
stevens said he was Certain that his
successor did not make the statements
attributed to him. There are many
reasons why he does not believe the
statements. the main one being that it
is impossible to make the mistake
charged.
