means of the union at Rotterdam
Junction, near Schenectady, N Y, with
the Fitchburg railroad, which is a part
of the Boston & Maine system and
which possesses very fine terminals at
Boston.
Apparently Mr.. Mellen expects by the
utilization Of the Rutland, supple
menting his control of the Boston &
Maine, to develop a very large COM
merce with the west, especially with
the Northwest. some portion of which
will find its ocean terminal at Port
land, Me-, a city which gives promise
of great growth, but the greater part
OF which will find its terminal at Bos-
ton. Therefore it is apparently New
England business-eitller Initiated or
cOnsumma ted-with the west, and es-
pecially with the great Northwest,
which MIR. Mellen seems through his
control OF the Rutland railway sys-
tern to have in mind. Of All the great
railway managers in the east Mr. Mel
len is, with the exception of William G.
Brown the president of the New York
Central, the most thoroughly familiar
with the agricultural and commercial
interests of the remoter west. And it
seems now almost as though his ser
vice as president Of the Northern Pa
cific was from one point of view sort
of apprentice service qualifying him
for the railway and Industrial develop

NEW SANTA FE GULF cur.
RumOr of Traffic Agreement with

RumOr of Traffic Agreement with
frisco in Oklahoma.
Bartlesville, Ok. Jan. 4.-Bartlesville
on the main line of the Santa Fe from
Kansas City to Galveston, with this
city at least a division point for pas
senger conductors, is the program of
that road, according to persistent ru-
mors that are in circulation. Accord
ing to the report, the Santa Fe has al
ready made traffic ARRANGEMENTS with
the Frisco to use that line from Tulsa
to Davenport, Ok. At the latter point
the, present main line of the Santa Fe
from Newton, Kan, to the Gulf will
be struck.
The proposed routing will shorten the
santa Fe mileage from Kansas City to
Galveston, $50 miles in addition to cut
ting off the climb over the Flint hills in
Kansas.
For several weeks the Santa Fe has
had gangs of men at work replacing the
old wooden bridges and culverts with
steel structures and laying heavier rails.
This is said to be simply preparation
for the heavier and faster trains that
will be operated on the new Gulf line.
According to the reports current the
change IN routing will take place i'm
mediately after the first of the year or
as soon as the equipment can be pur-
chased.

Santa Fe Leads All Other Roads
in Stock Shipments.
Handled 40 Per Cent. of Traffic
to Kansas City Market.
ROCK ISLAND FOURTH
Missouri Pacific a Close Rival in
Stock HonOrs.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

In the year 1911 the Atchison, To-
pelSa & Santa Fe shipped 40 per cent of
the entire stock in the Kansas City
Stockyards. Information from the Of
flee of the general manager in Topeka
show that in II months the rOal pull
ed more $4,000 cars into h ansas City,
equalling nearly 10000 more than any
other road.
Records OF the Rock Island Lines in
Topeka general offices show that this
road shipped 1850 cars into Kansas
City or little more than half ship
ped by the Santa Fe. In the roads Ell
terinS the Missouri river town, the
Santa Fe led in iDgoing shipments with
a total of 1884 cars. The Missouri
Pacific second with 26,726. The Union
Pacific third with 20,441 cars and the
Rock island fourth.
1t is figured by Santa Fe officers that
their road averages SO cars day into
Kansas City in a calendar year. There
are really only four market days in the
week. This gives the Santa F'e nearly
$50 cars a Gay. In the heavy week days
however the Santa Fe averages from
$50 to go cars q day times the
number has reached 800.
In the outgoing shipments the Santa
F'e takes second nOnors. The Missouri
Pacific leads out of Kansas with 7,513
cars in 1911. The Santa Fe comes Sec
Ond with t, 400 and the Chicago & Alton
third with $751;
Fe showed a small decrease since 1910.
This is caused by the increase in bust
ness in the Wichita and Oklahoma City
markets. Tine shippers have the privi-
lege of taking advantage of the mar
ketS in these cities and Kansas City has
lost a big trade from the Panhandle
country.

ton pictures is the latest advertising
wrinkle of the Santa Fe railroad.
The other day the de luxe train of
the Santa F'e made a special run to
San Bernardino, but instead of having
excess fare passengers aboard, about
20 people, recruited from the Los An
geles theatrical ranks for the purpose,
were the passengers, and they were
paid for taking the ride.
The management desired a number
of pictures of the train to portray the
comforts with which its patrons are
provided, and the special run to this
city from Los Angeles was made with
some expert picture men aboard to
make films of the trip, revealing the
luxurious equipment and the exclusive
ness of the train. These will be used
in advertising pamphlets and in Sc
ries of motion pictures in the east
The hired" passengers were dressed
in the height of fashion, and this fact
will add to the richness of the atmos-
phere disclosed in the pictures. The
trip cost the railroad about $1,000.

which he is the first since the day of
John M. Forbes fully to appreciate
Mr.. Forbes and the West.
1t was under the fine inspiration and
the very great ability and real railroad
craftsmanship of the late John M
Forbes that William c. Brown, pres1-
dent of the New York Central, received
possibly the most valuable of the les
sons he has so we'll learned as rail-
way administrator.
And it is very interesting and high
ly suggestive fact that at this time MI;
Mellen is undertaking vastly to expand
the Industrial, commercial and railroad
activities Of New England along lines
somewhat similar to those which John
M Forbes originated when he with
Boston capital, undertook much OF the
development, in agriculture ana trans
portation of the west.
Mr.. Forbes, so long ago as 1876 ana
only a few years after his return from
China where he had been engaged as
a merchant representing a Boston
house in China trade. was almost ac-
cidentaIly persuaded to look into lit
tie railroad stretching westerly from
Detroit and ending in the marshes or
fiat lands abruptly at a point little
distance west of Kalamazoo, Mich
He perceived that if this railroad
were to be worth giving any time to or
spending any money upon 1t must De
extended so that it could get transpor-
tation either from Milwaukee by means
of a lake ferry or else from Chicago,
then a little village And this percep-
ton identifies Mr. Forbes as really the
first of the great railway statesmen
Of the United States. With Boston
capital and with the assistance of
civil engineer who had been trained on
a division of what is now the New
York Central, Mr.. Forbes carried his
railroad to Chicago. demonstrates
