SANTA FEE TO IMPROVE IN WEST
Will Soon Spend $5,OOO,OOO on Colo
RADIO Properties.

Albuquerque, May 5.-That the
Santa Fe soon will expend 100000
for the improvement of its Colorado
properties now Is an almost assured
fact. r. J. Parker. general superin-
tendent of tho western lines of the
Santa Fe, now is preparing plans of
new improvements which he soon will
submit to President e. P. Ripley, after
which it is believed active construc
ton work will be started. The prin-
cipal improvement which will be in
corporated in Mr.. Parker'G plans viii
be the double tracking of the road be-
tween Pueblo and Denver over which
there is now a heavy traffic, both
freight and passenger.
These plans are neceSSitated by the
fact that the Santa Fe also handles
the traffic for the Colorado & South
ern lines between these two points. Re
Gently the Santa Fe attempted to ne
gotiate with the Denver 6, Rio Grande
for joint north and southbound
track by the use of the latter's tracks
in one direction and those of the for
mer in the other. These plans, how
ever, failed to materialize. and the
plan accordingly has been abandoned.
1t IS on this account that the Santa
Fe is said to be making the plans for
double tracks. AS soon as the plans
are approved it is believed that work
will be started. This, it is expected,
will cost S4,000,00O Then in order to
wipe out congestion and any future
troubles of like nature, S1,000,000 will
be required to put in switches and
sidetracks.
The official announcement Of this
work is expected within a few weeks.
Many other developments in Colorado
improvements, likewise, are expected.
The double tracking of this line will
be in conformity with the policy
adopted by the road over a year ago,
when it was announced that the en-
tire system would be double tracked.
During the summer the small gap
now intervening between Chicago and
Kansas City will be closed and the
Santa Fe then will have two lines of
rails over the shortest route between
the two points. Between Kansas City
and Newton the Ottawa cutoff is
double tracked, and this with the sin
gle track over the main line through
Topeka, virtually gives the company
triple track. West from Newton to
Albuquerque the main line and the
Belen CUTOFF give another double line.

freight. With the coast lines COM

Mrs. Hartman was informed that news
of such an engagement was current
she sent back word:
IT will neither confirm nor deny the
report.

Hartman millions were left without
condition to Mrs. Hartman, so the
natural inference is that the children.
in the course of time, will share the
estate among themselves.
There are five children living-Cor-
nelia, the eldest daughter. who married
Robert Livingstone Gerry; Mary, now
reported engaged to Mr.. Rumsey;
Carol, who was presented to society a
year ago; William Averill, now in

Miss Mary Hartman was said to be
her fathers favorite daughter. She
shared his love of horses and cattle, his
plain spoken ways and capacity for af-
fairs.
During his life he took the greatest
pride in her executive ability, and at
his death she succeeded him as man
ager of Arden farm, with their $4,000
acres and hundreds of head of cattle.
Rumsey is a sculptor. It was his
model that was accepted by a COM
mittee chosen to build a memorial to

Orange county. in which Arden farms
are situated in recognition of Harri
mans services as breeder of blooded

SPENDING $4,000 FOR WATER.
Santa Fe Water Department Busy in
Western Division

Within two weeks the Santa Fe will
have completed its entire water treat
ing system on the Los Angeles divi-
sion. The sixth of the seven plants
placed in service at Santa Ana, and
the seventh and last is nearly COM
pleted at Glendora.
During the last year ii has cost the
Santa Fe approximately $4,000 to in
stall plants that are to treat the water
used by locomotives at various points
on the division. On the San Diego
line there have been placed in service
plants at Sorrento, Oceanside. Sierra
and Santa Ana. On the Orange line,

which were built four years ago.
The plant in San Bernardino is the
largest on the entire Santa Fe system,
and over 100000 gallons of water
are monthly treated to remove the
substances injurious to the boilers of
locomotives.
Two tanks are necessary for the in
teresting process that makes the wa
ter satisfactory for use for locomo olives.
In the first tank the water, with the
chemicals which consist of lime and
soda ash enter a four-foot shaft in
the center of the tank. In the fall to
the bottom of the shaft the chemicals
and the waters mix and the injurious
substances are carried into the hop
per bottom. The water continues
then to the top, in the main portion of
the tank, and after passing through a
filter, filled with excelsior is drained
from the top to the adjoining tank,
from which the locomotives draw The
impure substances which have lodged
in the hopper are drawn off at stated
intervals.
Every week the chemical depart
ment, which is located at San Bernar-
dino, makes tests of the water to as
