AMERICAN TRAVELLERS
WANT SERVICE FIRST.

According to officials of the Santa
Fe, the new era of extra service
raiIroading. inaugurated by the
Santa Fe deluxe train a year ago,
is now firmly established. This
train of luxury, running once a week
in each direction between Chicago
and Los Angeles, was so successful
last year that It will be continued
during the coming winter season,
the first departure being from Chi
cago December 10, and then every
Tuesday until April.
Even the makeup Of the deluxe
gives distinction-on buffet library
car. two all-drawing-room PuIlmans.
one compartment drawing-room
Pullman. q ten-section observation
Pullman, and q special dining car.
The club and dining cars are under
management Of Fred Harvey. who
for two generations has made the
southwest famous gaaEronomically.

to his hand; If he wants his clothes
pressed and prefers not to shave
himself, he will be valeted; he does
mt have to hook his wife's gown
a ladies maid attends to that. A
steographer (services free) will
write any correspondence that pas
sengers wish to dictate en- route,
furnish the postage stamps, put them
on and place them in the box pro-
vided for that purpose. Bathing
facilities also are handy.
"This second edition deluxe
promises to be even more popular
than that of 1911-12," said w. J.
Black, passenger traffic manager Of
the Santa Fe in Chicago. Already
reservations for space have been
made in our deluxe trains as far
ahead as the latter part Of January.
This train was put in service to take
care Of the constantly increasing
first-class California business, and
1t has made good. In the rush sea-
SON It is a common occurrence for
our limited, which runs daily, to be
operated in two trains and some
times even three. Each carries at
least six cars 20 you can see that
there are an increasing number Of
Americans who wish to see their
own country first. Az the time
draws near for the opening OF the
Exposition at San Francisco
in 1915, the overland rush will grow
heavier. Already we are planning
for It by mainline doubie-tracking
In New Mexico and Arizona on an ex-
tensive scale, also By ordering new

PROVISIONS OF PROPOSED BILL

SANTA ANA. Oct. II. P. Baum
gartner of Santa Ana, a member Of the
conservation commission of California
has announced that the commission
will hold a meeting in the chamber of
commerce building, Los Angeles, at 10
o'clock, October 12, for the purpose of
discussing with the water users of
southern California the provisions of
the water commission bill that has
been prepared by the commission to
be submitted to the next legislature.
This bill has met with opposition as
well as favor among the water COM
panies of this end of the state The
meeting in Los Angeles will probably
be attended by committees from many
of the companies.
Baumgartner has suggested to w. A.
Zimmerman of Santa Ana, president OF
the Ass ociated Chambers of Commerce,
that the legislative committee of the
Associated Chambers present to the
commission the movement backed by
the Associated Chambers-to get legis-
lation to prevent the waste of water
by continuous flow of artesian wells
and the accompanying menace of ma
laria. Zimm merman stated today that
the committee would attend the meet
ing, and even if the water commission
bill does provide for some measure to
stop the waste of underground waters,
