SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S
 REVIEW OF YEAR IS
 EXCELLENT SHOWING
Report For The Year Of 1914 Indicates That Ten Million Dollars Were Expended For RepIaCementS, BettermentS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 24- With the passing of 1914 and the advent of the new year, an idea of the rail road developments on the Pacific coast during the last twelve months is afforded by a brief review of the Southern Pacific companys activities.
 During the year the Southern Pa cidc expended in the neighborhood of ten million dollars for replace ments and betterments Of this amount S1.4OO.OOO went for construc- tion of hfty-one miles of this being on the Sacramento division in the vi- cinity of Blue Canyon Gold RuL and Lawton and eleven miles being on the Salt Lake division west of Rose Creek. In addition to this, new and heavier rails were laid on l7O miles of existing main line dou' ble track at a cost of S9OO,000 Re placement of hfty-six miles of gravel ballast with crushed rock ballast re. quired an expenditure of another S1OO.O0O
 During the last year, the construc- ton of the double track between Sac ramento and Benicia was practically completed. To avoid sections of the track across Yolo basin from being washed out during the flood periods. nine miles of track were raised to a sufficient elevation at an approximate cost of S225,0OO As protection for the city of Sacramento against high water the Southern Pacific, with the city's assistance, constructed now levees and raised existing ones | surrounding Sacramento to a height of five feet above the water plans In all 4,20O feet of concrete seawalI was built and about seven and one 1 half miles of levees, The total cost of this work was about $600000, Of which S4OO0OO was borne by the rail road
 During 1914. 2,55O steel under frame cars and 300 all-steel cars were ordered by tn eSouthern Pacific ] There are also being constructed hf teen Mikado passenger locomotives to | cost S3OO.OOO five others to cost ! S125.OO0: ten switch engines to cost sl25,OO fifty allsteel passenger coaches to cost S535,OO0 and on' steel postal ear to cost Sl20OO.
 With its 1914 block signal work l the railroad now has 3,S7l miles o track protected by these electric safety guardians representing aI l outlay of almost S6.OOO00O lt also in stalled eleven additional mterlockine plants at a cost of S105,O00, making total of eighty-niue of these now ir operation

DEFINITE offer to establi

DEFINITE offer to establish
a creamery in Ell Paso not later
L \ than April 1, provided a guaran-
fee would be given that there would
be 400 COWS in the valley at that date
and that there would be 1000 not later
than one year thereafter, was mace
Monday afternoon at a meeting Of busi-
ness men, called to discuss plans for
the organization Of a farmers loan as
ISOLATION. The meeting was held at the
chamber Of commerce and was attended
by about 20 persons, the attendance be-
ing limited on account of the rain.
The offer to build creamery was
made by H. G. Coors, assistant United
States attorney general Of New Mexico
Mr.. Coors. together with r. T. Banks,
has been quietly investigating conui-
tions in the valley relative to the es-
tablishment Of a creamery.
I'VE are not here to ask for bonus'
either Of money or land" said MI
Coors. I'VE have been looking over
the valley with view to determining
whether a creamery could be advan-
tareouslv established here. We find
that there is absolutely no cream here
at this time for such a project and
hardly enough to meet the local de-
mand.
Must Get Cows.
"If anv more is secured it must come
from new cows. We are ready TO es-
tabIish a creamery here on a 80 day no
tice that there will be 1000 cows in the
valley one wear from the time we start.
In our investigation we have found that
the farmers of the valley are all
strongly in favor Of the establishment
of q creamery. This is shown by the
fact that their alfalfa is now in stacks,
unstable With cows to feed 1t TO they
would be their own customers
Now is the time to establSn
creamery. The farmers want TO know
what is going to be done before they
make plans for the new year. Besides
this. cows give more and better cream
during the summer months. All we re-
ouire is the assurance Of minimum OF
400 COWS in the valley by April and
1000 wear thereafter. If we get that
assurance We viii establish a cream
erv here with a capacity Of 5u'UUU
mounds a month, which is about double
the amount that the farmers Will DC
able to supply us with for year or
more The creamery will be modern IN
every respect and will be so construct
ed as to permit Of its being enlarged
when necessary. We will agree to pay
the market price for cream. 1t is very
much to be hoped that speedy action
will be taken, as this IS the ausplclouS
time for the establishment OF tht
creamery"
prior to the offer for the establish
rnent of a creamery Robert krakauer
is calling the meeting to order, sald
''Thfs meeting has been called to turtn-
or uIans to take care of farmers nov

Martinez Farm LON Plan Is Explained by
Author; seagraves' Straight Talk

ment must be given to Felix Martinez
but we all heartily favor 1t.
The Martinez Plan.
Movements of this kind begin IN
small way" said Felix Martinez. I re
member, some years ago, when the Ele-
plant Butte dam was but possibility.
Then a few men met to devise plans
for the reclamation of this valley. II
began in a small way Within rev
months the work that was begun 10
years ago will be completed and it has
exceeded even our most sangu1ne eA-
pectations.
There should be no misapprehen-
sion about the aims Of this assocla-
ton. It is not charitable. 1t is
straight business proposition, one Oh
mutual benefit, but those who lend the
money to the farmers expect to benetlt
together with the farmers. A loan Is
made to a farmer only after a thor
ough investigation has been made. The
farmer, when he gets his loan, greatly
increases the worth Of his land. Inc
business man, who makes the loan by
subscribing to the association, is not
only assured Of his interest, but he is
assured of an increase in business
through the increased buying power OF
the farmer. 1t is mutual A total OF
$3.50, 900 loaned out will mean increased
worth of valley lands, in one year, 10
the amount of 100000.
we have had the dam building and
many other big projects in course OF
construction, that have brought money
to this section. But this will soon be
over We must look to our own re-
sources and develop them. If we can
get S25O.O0O subscribed in one year i
can guarantee 100000 more. Never
mind where I am going to get it. Just
call on me when the time comes and II
will be forthcoming.
Need Market.
Another thing we should have here
is q fine market, where the farmers
can bring their produce and find a
market for it. This, too. will be mu-
tual in its benefits. The farmer will
find his market and the housewife VIII
get fresh products at One-fifth the
price she is now paying.
It have a letter from some people at
Anthony. They write that they have
raised $1,000 for a creamery. We nave
the dam. Now what are we going 10
do with it2 Unless we develop the
land, Join in with those who also see
the great possibilities, the huge pro-
ject will be practically useless"
No Money for VALLEY,
81 am getting more outside money to
loan on Ell PasO real estate than have
had in 20 years" said A ?. Coles who
/ followed Mr.. Martinez. But not one
cent Of that money comes here to be
! loaned on valley land. That is because
/ the dam is a first mortgage on the
! land. Therefore. any money that is
/ loaned in the valley must be loaned by
US. We must make the individual ef-
my suggestion IS that the associa-
I ton be operated through some of our
1 trust companies or banks If we form
the association we can then sell its
notes in the east, reloan the money and

new new place than he would because
there is. good view.
You have a lot of competition. Even
the east is waking up and is making a
fight to keep its present people and get
more. The south is aggressive; the
middle west bankers are fighting you.
Give something real, something tangi-
bic and you will get settlers. But II
anyone thinks he can sit back and say:
We'll, the dam is completed, watch the
settlers flock in he is having a pleas
ant dream, nothing more"
1T is my opinion that this assOcia-
ton should finance the farmers to buy
livestock, plows and silos The banks
will care for his loans on Iands,'' said
W. L. TOoley. we must get active

resell the notes, keeping the money in
circulation. The valley will soon be
producing more than the local demand.
The time has come when a large part
of the produce should be turned back
into fine cows, hogs and other live
stock. The creamery idea is an excel
lent one and should be given every en-
couragement."
Charles Seagraves, colonization agent
of the Santa Fe system, was the next
speaker. Il think that the people in
the west must get away from the spe-
cialized crop" he said. THE people Of
this section must get down to the sta
ples;e hogs, chickens, cows. They can
always sell these for the reason that
there is always a demand for them.
Lands all through the west are too
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-12-22

farmers on our valley lands, real pro-
ducers. We must offer Inducements,
but I think that if we offer to finance
the farmer for his implements ana
stock We have done enough
Need Action, Wyatt Says.
What we need is action" said John
NJ. WYATT. Lets apply for a charter at
once Let's get busy. Every day that
is lost sets the project back just that
much. The need is real and vital and
there is no earthly reason why there
should be delays. We know what Is
needed. We know what we want Iheh
let's get it; get it without delay
