The fact that the Santa Fe is double
tracking its lines through northern
Arizona does not indicate that the new
line that passes through Parker will
become the main freight route across
the territory. Northern Arizona con-
sumes large tonnage of various pro-
ducts and the scenic beauties of the
northern line will never be lost sight
of by the railroad company. The fact
that grades are heavier than the Par
ker line will prove but little in its
favor, as it is understood that the line
will be only the direct route to New
Orleans for freight traffic that may be
destined for points in south Texas or
Louisiana. With the double tracking
of the line through this county greater
advantages will be accorded shippers
and it is more than probable that a
much lesser freight rate will be put in
