Atchison Plans.
President Ripley has announced that the
year 1913 will be one OF improvement
rather than extension along the line Of
The Santa Fe. AS reported he said that
the Santa Fe expects to expend a large
sum Of money in building up the present
property. Much of this money will be
used in double track construction west of
Albuquerque, the intention of the manage
ment being TO have ultimately a two
crack railroad from Chicago TO the Pa
afc Coast. BY the end of 1913 We will
have more than 1900 miles OF double
track. not counting the lines from Newton
to Albuquerque, which do not run side by
side but which in reality constitute
double track railroad. One OF these lines
runs through northwest Oklahoma and
the Panhandle.
The new properties lately acquired in
various parts of the Southwest and the
lines in Oklahoma and other states will
be improved. following the policy Of keep
ing the physical condition Of the road up
to the highest standard within our
