ume OF traffic is the result OF steady
gain from month to month, and year
TO year keeping pace with the growth
Of the city in every other line.
Betterments On Main Line.
The G., r. a. S. A. Is one Of the most
progressive roads entering the city of
lei Paso, as Is shown by the money
expended for betterments during the
year just closed, and the great expendi-
lures already determined upon for the
year 1910.
During the year 1909, Jointly with the
lei Paso 81 Southwestern, the company
erected a great viaduct over the tracks
OF both roads in the lower yards, the
cost OF the Improvement being $4,000.
During the year 1909 the work OF bal
lasting the main line east Of the city
for 40 miles was almost completed at
a cost of $4,000. This work will be
continued during the year 1910.
During the year 1909 the company put
in arc lights at crossings Of the city
at a total cost Of $4,000.
During the year just closed the COM
pany expended $4,000 on street cross
ings, and this work is still going on.
The company has made an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for block signals east
OF this city and west OF Del Rio.
1t has also been determined to put
in a high bridge across the Pecos river,
east Of the city, at cost Of fully 1884,
600. and this great Improvement will be
pushed to an early completion.
Double Track In City.
One of the most important improve
ments determined upon, and work
which is sorely needed and will be
pushed as fast as men and money can
push 1t, is the double track between
the city and the high bridge over the
Rio Grande to the west Of the city This
will cost at least 100000, and the mon
ey will be expended within a Few
months.
The company contemplates a number
of other improvements during the year
1910, but they have not yet been an
nounced officially, and the details are
therefore not available, but the year
will be a busy one on the El Paso
division, particularly in the eXpendi-
ture of money for betterments, one OF
the most important improvements con-
templated being the relaying of the
main line with 80 pound rail-

siderably more than 100000 a month.

Great Gains In Tonnage BY Ell Paso Roads
rOURTEEN years ago last month
The Herald published a joyous
tom In effect az follows.

lltH, In clIeCl as IOllOWS.
Last month the s. Z. (meaning the
system) did the heaviest freight busi-
ness ever done at this point, 1900 cars
being handled"
In those days the rs. p" and the
Santa Zee had things their own way in
the transcontinental freight business,
the Texas e. Pacific not then being In
n position to handle much OF it, and
those 1900 cars not only represented
the heaviest railroad business ever
done in the city, but it represents al
most all there was done.
Multiplied by Three.
For November of 1909 the IS. P.," or
the c., IL. q S. A., handled in the lei
Paso yards 20,120 cars, or just 1880
more than the heaviest" business ever
done in lei Paso up to the time Of the
publication of that item. The Texas e.
Pacific, the Santa Fee and the FL Paso
q Southwestern and the Rock Island
systems hauled several times as many
cars as the IS. F." did during that mem
orable month OF IA years ago.
And there is something else to be
considered. Fourteen years ago, from
IL to ID tons made a load, which was
a great strain on any car. Today the
same railroad company considers the
100000. pound capacity cars as stand
ard, and all the equipment Is rIade up
OF cars rated for $4,000, 10000 and 100,
600 pounds capacity, or from three to
five times as much to each car. If
those 1900 cars OF IA years ago had
all been monsters" of that day and
could be loaded with an average OF Is
tons, they could have possibly carried
112,500 tons, while the cars handled in
the same yards last November could
have carried all the way from 6036 500
tons to 100000 tons; Il tonnage growth
OF almost 1000 percent.
The year 1909 increased the business
OF all the roads entering FL Paso over
that Of the previous years, and the Gal
weston, Houston q San Antonio, which
is the official name for the eastern
division OF what Is more generally
known MS the Southern Pacific, or Sun
set" secured its full share Of the in
creased traffic as a comparison Of the
cars handled in these yards by months
for 1908 and 1909 Will show
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-01-12

The merchandise handled by the Tex
as e. Pacific accounts for between $50
and 175 cars, leaving 200 cars OF local
freight received and delivered to the
business men of this city to be account
ed for in machinery OF all kinds, build
ing materials, etc. Building material
went largely into the tonnage Of the
year 1909.
Trade Territory Increases.
The freight record into this city for
all sections, exclusive OF Mexico, also
shows the same decided increase over
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-01-12

Grand total ..............S,01
The year 1909 shows an increase OF
S012 cars over 1908, exclusive of MeX-
can business, the figures for which
will be found included in the reports
of the Mexican National.
The year 1909 was a prosperous one
for the Mexican National division with
terminals in TINS city, as the business
of the year greatly exceeded that of
1908, the total business done probably
more than doubling over the total for
the preceding year.
The Mexican National lines out OF
El Paso open up a rich territory and
handle an immense quantity Of min
eral, stock, lumber, etc, out of the
northern part Of the republic, and GO,
ing in, American imports of manufac-
tured cotton and wooden goods shoes,
mining and agricultural machinery, and
the many things demanded by the trade
OF the sister republic.
Zinc Business increases.
For a few months during the year
the new American tariff on zinc cut
down the traIIlc in that metal to the
port Of El Paso but the suspension Of
shipments was only temporary, as they
have not only been resumed, but are
fast increasing in tonnage. The change
in the zinc schedule was expected to
make some difference in the total VOL
ume of business for the year, but If It
did anything 1t was to increase It, as
the totals for the year show a surpris-
ing increase over the year 1908
Money for improvements.
Large sums will be expended for i'm
provements by the National lines in
Mexico during the present year, and
the Importance of the Eel Paso connec-
ton has been so prominently brought
to the attention of the officials by the
great accomplishments of 1909 that
much of 1t will find its way to that
part of the system connecting this city
with the heart of the rich republic on
the south.
