It is rumored again that the Pennsylvania railroad is trying to take over the Santa Fe. An alliance would create a gigantic system, extending from the At lantic to the Pacific and embrace 34, ,0OO miles of trackage.
 The statement that the Penn sylvania, one of the greatest systems of the east, is endeavor- ing to purchase the Santa Fe, one of the greatest systems of the west, appeared first Tn San Francisco, the Call publishing the reported progress of the for mer line i'll quietly securing stock of the latter. Within the past week or two reports of confirm atior or denials have come from various parts of the continent.
 President E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fe, has previously out lined his attitude towards a merger. In October of 1908, he clearly and forcibly placed him. self on record against the fovm- ing of this very alliances. Con- ditions it is admitted, have not altered sufficiently since that tune to change his views. There was then one coast-to-coast sys- tenn, the Hartman lines, and an- other, the Gould system, was in the midst of establishing it's last link, the Western Pacific, into San Francisco. In brief, Mir. Ripley believes that such an alli- ance would be disastrous to both the Pennsylvania and Santa Fe.
 In the Santa Fe Employees Magazine, President Ripley stat ed his, "The Future of the At. chison," in which he replies to the suggestion of Franklin H Spearman, whose article, "The Atchison," appearing first ir 1904, published by Scribner's was produced in the Santa Fe Employees Magazine of Septem Der, 1908.
 In part, Mir. Ripley, comment ing on the article, wrote:
 1.-The other suggestion made by Mir. Spearman-the purchase of the Atchison by the Pennsyl. vania-must also, I believe, fail of ever being realized. Should the Pennsylvania or any other New York Chicago line, ever ac' quire control of the Santa Fe, 1t would mean that line and the Santa Fe against all other rail. roads. Instead of receiving pas. senger and freight business from every eastern line as it now does, the Santa Fe at Chicago would business but from one road. fo1 tile competitors of that road would take a great deal of plea S ure in turning over to the com petitors of the Santa Fe. all the business possible, and likewise the competitors of the Santa Fe who now turn over business tC all Chicago-New York lines would see to 1t that no ally O. . the Santa Fe in the east received only such business as could not be turned over to some other roads There would be such 2 rapid failing off of the business received from connections as tC make a combination with a New York Chicago line altogether un desirable under existing condi tions I have little fear that the future of the Atchison lies in . combination with any other big wrstern road. in it's absorbing by an eastern company or in its

CHEAPENING CONCRETE WORK.
Devices to Replace Costly Molds
Which Are Thrown Away.

While the cost of materials employed in
reinforced concrete structure is much
less than with other structural work,
still the increasing cost of lumber for
mold work and the labor entailed in max
ing these forms or mods. which are
afterward destroyed, have added much to
the final cost of concrete building.
Several plans have been devised to re-
duce the cost of forms. One method has
been extensively employed at Fort Myer
during the past months.
Several buildings have been constructed
almost as children would make paper
houses, where weight was of no consid-

It's garb of spring, calls forth praise from
all lips. and each recurring spring one
hears the expression that the city never
looked SO beautiful This was true last
spring and also the year before, and SO
on. and 1t is certainly true this year, and
next spring the foliage will exceed in
glory that of the present season
1t is q sort of arithmetical progression
mat nature is following in this city, and,
ioT the most part, it is due to the trees

then their iuxuriance. There is no city
In the world where tree planting has been
carried to the extent it has been in this
city, and yet If the figures were collected
no doubt it would be found the original
cost OF the trees and of their maintenance
form one OF the minor items in the mu-
nicipai budget
In other words, what is recognized now
as the chief ornament of the city prob
ably ranks lowest among the items in the
annual city expenditure. In public esti-
matlon. however there are but few de-
ta1is or city administration which is of
more Importance, and it is likely IL

so that 1t is possible in the middle of a
summer day to walk the streets of the
city protected from the direct rays of the
sun In the grateful shade cast by the
leafy branches of the trees.
1t is due to the influence of the trees
that the temperature Of the air Is modi-
fed and the rainfall is increased, and the
days and nights OF intense heat are made
more endurable. When use and beauty
can be combined then the acme of utility
is reached. and on this basis of estima-
