commenced his railway career as a To-
cal ticket clerk for the Burlington &

general passenger agent and continued
! until 1879. Then he was offered a SIM
| liar position with the ST. Louis, Iron
| which he accepted and filled for two

passenger officials, whose advice often
| was sought.

LITTLE OVER SEVEN PER CENT
Santa Fe May Drop Heavily on Com
mon Stock Earnings.

Providing May and June net earn
ings of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company are no more
favorable than the exhibit for April,
it is apparent that the company will
earn approximately Z y per cent on its
present $165, $4,000 outstanding COM
mon stock for the twelve months to
end June 80 next. as compared with
1910 per cent earned on the $751;
$685. 500 outstanding at the close of the
last fiscal year.
The Santa Fe for the first time in
its history will show gross earnings in
excess of $100,0O0.00O, but the roads
expenses have risen perceptibly dur
ing the last few months. Up to the
close of April its net was about
$1,5O0,000 behind the corresponding
period of the year previous, although
a gross gain of more than 100000
had been scored. The company will
have spent some SS.0OO,000 more for
maintenance this year than during the
1909 fiscal period.

santa Fe Preparing to Unload Big
Carlsbad Territory.

Carlsbad, N. M. June 29.-The can
taloupe growers under the Carlsbad
project have just completed an inven-
tory of the entire acreage upon the re-
quest of the Santa Fee railway officials
who are DESTROYS of having the best
possible arrangements made in time
for handling the crop. 1t is estimated
that about $40 acres have a fair stand.
t B. Gallaher, travelling freight
agent; A. A. Scott, travelling agent of
the Santa Fe refrigerator dispatch, and
J. A. Roach of the engineering de-
partment, spent several days here look
ing over the situation. Mr.. Scott came
here for information to cradle him to
make intelligent arrangements for the
refrigeration of the shipments, while
Mr.. Roach came here to determine the
location of such loading sheds as must
be built at four loading points. 1t is
estimated that the crop will make 3d.
900 crates. The crop is looking well
and it is likely that the first ripe mel
ons will be ready for market in a
months time. Carload shipments are
not likely to begin until around the
goth of July. The shipping will last
about three weeks. A small acreage
of late canta1oupes will be planted this
month These will ripen along the last
of September.

Tough luck is pursuing Cooley with a
vengeance. Pencil is another player
to go on the hospital list. He split his
frger in Tuesday game while catching
fly ball, and was forced to retire.
Five of the Packers scores in the first
were due indirectly to Bullock's failure
to cover second after two were down,
and with a dead easy chance to retire

men that faced him. The next two were
