SANTA FE SEEKS
RICH TERRITORY
Runor of Traffic Agreement
With Sacramento Valley
Electric Railway Systems
ISseciai Di,pofcI, 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, June IA report is
in circulation here today that when
the new California traction company
completes its line between this city
and Stockton, an agreement will be
entered into between it. the Santa Fe
railroad and the Northern Electric
whereby through freight and passen-
ger rates may be made from all towns
reached by the Northern Electric in
the valley to towns along the line of
the Santa Fe.
For years the Santa Fe has been de-
s1rous of reaching the towns OF the
northern part of California, but this
territory has been held by the South :
ern Pacific, and it would have meant
the expenditure of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to build a line and
then compete for the business. An ar
rangement with the new electric lines
would accomplish the end desired.
When asked about the report, George
w. Peltier, president of the California
traction company, denied that any such
agreement had been entered into be-
tween his line and the Santa Fe. He
refused to discuss the PROBABILITIES of
the future, when the new line is cons
pleted, but declared that as yet no
overtures of any sort had been made
looking to an agreement such as limited
in the reports published.
