Santa Fe Extends Telephone Dis
patching System.

The Santa Fe System has extended
the use of the telephone for train dis
patching over its road from Denver
to Pueblo. The officials of this road
were among the first to recognize the
advantages of the telephone for dis
patching.
Telephones have been installed over
approximately 1850 miles Of the Sam
ia Fc lines. and it is planned to ex-
tend the equipment on other sections
of the road as soon as possible.
There are about forty telephone
stations on the Ieo-mile stretch be-
tween Pueblo and Denver. and here
telephone equipment and Gill select
orS supplied by the Western Electric
company have lately been installed.
Heavy traffic is carried on over this
single track division. There are in
the ncighborhood of IS to 80. trains
day. and in the handling of these
trains there are Approximately IS reg
uIar meeting points. This section of
the track is used jointly by the Santa
Fe and the Colorado and Southern
railways. The dispatching. however,
is all done from Pueblo by the Santa
Fe.
II is estimated that the installation
of telephones on this division will
enable the dispatchers to handle the
same amount of work as previously
in about sixty per cent OF the time.

WILL PLANT BETS.
Upper Arkansas Valley Branching
Out This Season.

Following experiments made in
the upper Arkansas valley last year
by the agriculturists of the American
Beet Sugar company, it is highly
probable that acreage will be planted
there this season. The farmers OF
that section are anxious to, plant the
beets. and the experiment of last year
assured good tonnage and sugar
content for their crop. and many will
plant this season.
While the upper valley. between
Florence and Pueblo is net as thickly
settled as it doubtless will be. follow
ing the opening of several large irri-
CATION projects, the irrigated land
districts are slowly increasing in size.
and is quitep robablc. that beet culture
will become the important industry
of that section, as it has in the lower
and middle sections OF the Arkansas
valley.

While the continued good weather

warmth is not at all appreciated by
the fruit raiscrs, as the trees are be-
ginning to bud, and unless a change
Is soon had in the weather they will
shortly be in full bloom. In that sec.
tion. differing from this section OF
the valley, April is expected to bring
some cold nights, and the orchardist
are not particularly pleased with the
prospects of again losing their fruit
from early freezes following an carly

NEW SANTA FE TRAIL.
One of the Biggest Movements in the
Arkansas Valley.

Pueblo, Colo, March alone OF
the biggest things in the Arkansas
valley just now is the New Santa Fe
Trail movement.
The editor of one of the Kansas
City newspapers recently said It is
the biggest thing in the West"
That is the general impression.
fact that nothing save the Eighteenth
National Irrigation Congress has
ever given such widespread publicity
to the Arkansas valley.
For the Trail movement is essen
TALLY an Arkansas valley movement.
1t had its inception with two Arkan-
sas valley ncwspapermen in Kansas.
The first conference that resulted in
the definite plan was held at Hutch
inson. in the Arkansas valley. The
same is true with the recent executive
and publicity committee meetings. at
Kinsley. Lamar, La Junta, and other
valley towns have recently held TtAil
meetings, and Pueblo is actively en-
gagged in the campaign.
The Trail starts at Wichita, in the
Arkansas valley. and spur of it at
Newton, Kansas. They meet at
Hutchinson. and proceed up-valley to
ISPucblo. The Trail. for the most part.
follows closely the old Santa Fe
Trail, the first thoroughfarc of COM
merce and travel in the Great South
west. It departs here and there from
the old Trail, and is. more essentially
an Arkansas valley highway, which
some of its friends planned original
ly to call it. The sentiment for the
old Trail was, however. too strong.
The Trails permanent organization
Is the outgrowth Of great eonftE-
ence, participated in by more than
400 members. held at Hutchinson,
Kansas, January 81. this year. This
conference was made up Of county en-
einecrs, county commissioners, farm
ers institute representatives, members
Of motor clubs and commercial Or
eanizations, newspapermcn, public
spirited citizens, and a great proper
tion-more than half-werc farmers.
This is significant in view of thee
prevailing opinion that farmers do
not favor the good roads movement;
The Trail is intimately connected
with the Eighteenth National lrriga-
tion Congress, Pueblo, September 10.
10. 1910. 1t will be completed and
hundreds of motor cars will carry to
Pueblo for thish great event delegate,
aud others who will attend. Many OF
the Trails officers and best friends
are closely connected with the lrri'
CATION Congress.
The president of the Trail organi-
zation is r. II. Faxon OF Garden CITY,
