Santa Fe Projects Will Be Com

Big Tunnel Through Ration

Another big Santa Fe improvement
which will be turned over to the road
complete next week, is the big tunnel
Through Ration mountain in northern
New Mexico. The Belen cutoff line,
on the Eastern Railway of New Mex
leo, as it is properly known, while still
in the hands of the construction COM
pany will be turned over to the COM
pany by July 1. Then the Santa Fe
can be said to have the best improved
properties and most numerous con-
meeting lines in the entire southwest.
The 100000 tunnel through
Ration mountain, work on which was
started by the Lantry Construction
company April 1. 1907, is practically
completed and will be ready to be
turned over to the Santa Fe railway
about May 20. According to the con-
tract the tunnel was to have been
completed in one year. the construction
company receiving a bonus of 500 a
day for every day less than a year if
they completed it, and for every day
over that year they were to pay the
Santa Fe railway 500. The construc-
ton company will lose about $4,000 on
its profit, as it is now paying 800 a
day forfeit and has done this since
April 1.
Since the work was started only
u.
rock falls and one from an explosion.
Only few were injured, but many
became sick and an average Of ten a
month have been in the hospital Up
ward of 500 men have been employed
constantly on the work. The new tun-
mel is about 80 feet lower than the old
one and will relieve the road from
using many helper engines in pushing
trains over the mountain.
A party of Santa Fe officials in
Guiding President Ripley and General
Manager Hurley have just returned
from the west where they made an in
spection trip over the Belen line pre-
paratory to the taking over of the
property which although now in oper-
e4lon still belongs to the construction
company.
The work of grading the roadbed
between Rio Puerco and Belen has lust
Construction company after one years
work. The work of reducing the
grade between these two places was
one of the toughest obstacles encoun-
tered in building the cutoff. For five
miles east of Rio Puerco. an average
cut of thirty feet in depth was made.
This cut was 125 feet wide at the top.
Thousands of carloads of earth taken
from the cut were taken to Belen and
used in raising the grade of the yards
there. Three locomotives, two steam
shovels and forty steel dump cars and
an army of laborers were used in do
ing the work. The manner in which
this enormous grade was reduced, is
an example of the advantage of mod
ern machinery over the old style meth
DDS used in grading. Not very many
years ago, it would have been over
come by avoiding it altogether. 1t Is

the features with the stick. Cooley
secured two singles and a double and

Forester seems to have struck his
stride this season and promises to
make one of the most valuable men
for the locals. Forester has won
three out Of the four games he has
pitched and in every one Of the
games which he has won he has
shown almost perfect control, his only
previous failure. Forester has more
than any pitcher who ever worked
in the Western Association, but Cool
ey Is making him use but little, only
that in which he is most effective.
Two years ago Forester was offered
new hat il he could pitch an entire
game without giving the customary
four balls. AS far as is known yes
terday's performance is the first one
not walked man. Cooley should
make good with the hat Here's hop
ing that Jack will get away with many
more games of this kind.
Topeka goes to Joplin today. Joplin
ought to be easy picking. The Miners
have not won a game since they
struck Topeka early last week and
are now in seventh place.
Landreth continues to make good
in his hitting and yesterday pulled off
a great fielding sensation. II he keeps
up his present gait he will be one Of
the most valuable men in the league
by nnidseason.
Abbott has shown some improve
ment in his batting at Evansville

to be hoped that he will soon get his
stride.

Jay Andrews has a substitute in

highly. But most any one would look

The Hutchinson fans are knocking

two seasons has been one of the lead
ing batters and run getterS. Petty

had a trial with Kansas City and lost
out because he couldn't hit the ball
