S. P. TO BUILD NEW LINE
WILL CROSS TEHAcHAPl RANGE
to RIVAL SANTA FE.
U. S. Supreme Courts Decision or
Merger of Southern and Union
Pacific Caused Move.

San Francisco, Cal-The Chron-
icle says that the Southern Pacific
company finally has acquired the last
right of way for low grade line over
the Tehachapi mountains between Mo
Jave and Kern City 'The line, which
will be begun Immediately, calls for
an expenditure of $10,000000. The
United States supreme courts recent
decision on the merger on the South
ern and UniCn Pacific railroads is di-
rectly responsible, according to the
Chronicle, for the building of the new
line.
The building of the low grade track
is expected to bring about vigorous
fight between the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe for transcontinental
business. At present these lines have
joint use of the only track over the
Tehachapi. The Southern Pacific
owns the present high grade line and
for several years it has planned to
double it, That purpose has now been
abandoned in favor of the low grade
project.
To have the right of ownership of
the new line, the Southern Pacific has
decided, according to the Chronicle. to
shut out the Santa F'e from participa-
ton in the cost of construction and
will endeavor to force the Santa Fe to
abide by its terms as to the use of
the track.
