National Irrigation Congress in
Pueblo Next Month.
President Ripley of Santa Fe
Issues a Proclamation.
SANTA FE HAS HELPED
Put Forth Every Effort for Sue
cess of New Project.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

Prominent railroad men of the
country have been asked to partici-
pate in the eighteenth national irri-
cation congress, Pueblo, September
$3.50, and one of these is President
E. P. Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fee road
The fact that the Santa Fe was so
active two years ago when the six
teerth congress was held at Albuquer-
que, and has demonstrated in so many
ways its friendliness and cooperative
effort along the line of development,
gives that road full idea of the work
of the irrigation congress and the
value and advisability of active par
ticipation.
The literature the Santa Fe has this
year put out; the splendid special edi-
ton of The Earth, it's development
publication, for July; the fine little
Arkansas valley and congress folder,
and the equitable rates thus far made
are all testimonials of the roads in
terest in the big Pueblo event.
If anything more was needed, how
ever, as an earnest of the Santa Fe's
good faith and good will, it is fur
nished in the little proclamation and
word of greeting President E. p. Rip
ley furnishes The Earth, when he
says:
Everybody who attends the irri-
cation congress knows more about its
work, past, present and future, than
| do, and l suppose the request that
L send message to it is intended as
compliment rather than because of
an idea that I can advance anything
novel or interesting.
But as representing an institution
which has always been deeply inter
ested in the reclamation of the west
and which has contributed it's full
share both in money and in effort to-
ward the condition to which we have
attained in that development, 1 may
be permitted to congratulate the irrf-
cation congress on what has been
done and what may be done through
its continued activities, and to prom
Use the cooperation of the Santa Fe
in any plans which make for the
cause.
AS we approach the point where
consumption overtakes production, the
necessity OF development of our re-
sources and especially of intensified
farming, becomes yearly more appar-
ent, and it is to the accomplishment
of this end that we must all direct our
efforts"

BIG NEW TRAFFIC AGREEMENT
Rio Grande to Get Eastern Trunk
Line Shipments.

Line shipments.
Denver, Colo.,- Aug. 8.-The Denver
& Rio Grande railroad has concluded
agreements with Eastern trunk lines
which will make it one of the most
important factors of any railroad in
the country in the handling of trans
continental traffic. In addition to the
interchange of business with the Rock
Island and Burlington at Denver it will
exchange business to and from the At
lantic seaboard with the Baltimore e.
Ohio, the Pennsylvania and the New
York Central lines at st. Louis and
Chicago.
Negotiations are now in progress
looking toward a still stronger alli-
ance with one of the largest eastern
trunk lines for through freight sery-
ice from coast to coast via the Western
Pacific. In order to provide for the
handling of this big traffic from the
various sources large budget for i'm
provements for the next fiscal year has
been approved and every dollar sur
plus earnings is to be put back into the
property.
The Denver & Rio Grande, with the
Western Pacific, is to play the part of
free lance in the gathering of traf-
fic and is not to be used solely as out
let for the business of the Missouri
Pacific and other Gould roads. IN
stead, the company, under q contract
of the Denver & Rio Grande, is to
put the Rock Island and the Burling-
ton on an equal footing with the Mis-
souri, Pacific for the interchange of
business at Denver and Pueblo.
The Hill roads, the Rock Island and
the Denver & Rio Grande and Western
Pacific are, therefore, to work in en-
tire harmony in the handling of trans
continental business. 1t means that
there is now very little of either the
Rock Island or the Burlington being
extended to the Pacific coast from
Denver other than through their con-
nections with the Gould lines

Denver, Aug. S.-''These railroad at
