len Santa Ee Years
How the Santa Fe has grown in ten years and what
that growth means 10 SanaFe patrons. Better service
at unreasonable 1ates,d to efficiency of operation
and millions spent for improvements.

That Santa Fe freight moves promptly,
that Santa Fe journeys are enjoyable
doesn't just happen.
Wise economies, 284 million dollars
spent between 1914 and 1924 on track
and equipment, and the cooperation of
patrons and employees these have helped
to build up a great transportation ma
chine which is at your instant service for
most reasonable charge. And this in the
face OF heavy increase in costs OF operation
without corresponding increase in rates.
In these ten years the Santa Fe and the
Southwest have grown together. The Santa
Fe's growth has been not only IN mileage
and facilities, but also in ability to serUe
patrons better. ..a..
This decade has been a period of ex-
pansion. In it the Santa Fe's operated
mileage has increased 922 miles. Each
locomotive now hauls 81 per cent more.
Nearly 1900 more Santa Fe freightcar
are available. There has been an increase
OF Is per cent in passengers carried one
mile and 79 per cent in revenue tons car
ried one mile.
The Coconino sun., 1925-09-11

Other important items have grown,
too. Such as expense of maintenance of
the railroad, which increased 121 per cent
or 81, 700 mile. Maintenance of loco
motives showed an upward trend of 1877
per cent, or $6,141 each. Passenger cars
IS per cent, or $999 a car. Freight
cars 155 per cent or $161 per car. All
operating expenses combined jumped
ia per cent. Taxes advanced for each
mile of track 196 per cent, or $993. To-
tai taxes in. 1924 were $17,730,961 or
$1,499 per mile.
Yet Santa Fe freight rates have gone
up only 28 per cent and passenger fares
only AZ per cent.
Freight loading carried by each car has
increased 3. IL tons, or Ia per cent. Freight
loading carried by each freight train has
increased 226 tons, or Sd per cent These
are gr-ifyingl marks Of progress.
The Santa Fe hopes to keep on groGO-
ing and to keep on giving satisfactory
service.

CaleXicO Officer
Accidentally Shot

Ed Barton. member of the Calex-
leo police force, is at the Ell Cen
tro hospital suffering from a bullet
wound accidently received at police
headquarters in Calexico early this
morning.
According to Chief Hardwick,
Barton was demonstrating to some
of his brother officers his ability to
" draw his gun when the trigger
caught and discharged the gun, the
bullet striking the officer in the
side just above the hip, and coming
out the upper part of his leg.
The officer was removed to the
Ell Centre hospital, where it was
stated today that his condition is
not considered serious. Barton is
one of the largest policemen Of the
valley and has been on the Calexico
force for a number of years.
Chief Hardwick investigated the
accident and decided that nobody
was at fault but the injured officer.

REHEARSALS FOR
ELKS SHOW WILL
START TONIGHT

Rehearsals for the Elks Revue
which is to be given in this city
next month, will start tonight at
Elks Hall, and all members of last
years east are urged to be present
together with any friends who may
wish to be tried out for the show.
A large chorus is needed to make
the show success, according to
Fred Nebel-Thau, who is directing
the revue and he is particularly an
xious that there be a large turn
out tonight.
Owing to the bad condition OF the
road between this city and Holt
vile, it is doubtful if several per-
sons from that city who have pro-
missed to appear at rehearsal, will
be able to get over and if the pre-
sent bad weather keeps up, it will
be necessary for the entire cast to
be chosen from Ell Centro.
Previous stage experience, while
desirable, is not necessarily essen
tial, Fred states, and a willingness
to take the rehearsals seriously, to-
gether with some singing ability,
will enable competent cast and
chorus to be selected.
