DOUBLES CALIFORNIA SERVICE
Santa Fe Will Run -Four limited
Trains From Chicago.

Commencing the first of the year,
the Santa Fe will double their service
between Chicago and San Bernardino
and other Southern California points.
50 heavy is the traffic that this action
has been made necessary.
From January 1 and thereafter,
when the heaviest tourist traffic be
gins, four trains, all of the California
Limited standard, will be run from
Chicago.
Today, the original California Linn
tied increased its train to two sections.
Before this, two sections have never
been run, except for unusually heavy
traffic at irregular intervals. Begin
ming January 1, when the heaviest
tourist traffic from the middle west
begins, the four trains will leave Chi
cago on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Saturday of each. week.
This more than double service of
the Santa Fe out of Chicago the Of
hcials believe will be demanded by the
increased number of tourists that will
seek this section during the winter
months.
Present indications are that this
accommodation will be taxed before
the first of the year. If this is found
to be true, the four-train schedule
may be put in operation before the
holidays
