on December of that year and an
extension to the new mining camp
of Miami completed in the fall of
1909. A 19-mile section of the origi-
nal line was relocated on higher
ground during 1923, to make way for
the artificial lake in the Gila river
formed by the construction of Coo
lidge dam.
Other Lines Taken In
Other construction of the Arizona
Eastern, which was consolidated
with the Southern Pacific's Pacific
Lines on November 8, 1924, included
the branch from Phoenix to Has
sayampa, built in 1910; the line
from Chandler Junction to Casaba,
built in 1911, and the branch from
Avondale to Litchfield constructed
in 1920.
The extension of these branch
lines from Picacho to Pozo Junction
and from Hassayampa to Wellton,
completed in July, 1926, gave South
ern Pacific a second main line
across Arizona in connection with
the previously acquired Ell Paso
and Southwestern system.
The Tucson-Noga1es line, con-
Meeting at Nogales with the South
ern Pacific of Mexico, was compile
ted on June 10, 1910. The first sec
ton of the road was built by the
Twin Buttes Railroad Company be-
tween Twin Buttes and Sahuarita to
Tucson in July, 1906. The section
from Sahuarita connecting with the
former New Mexico and Arizona
line at Calabasas was built after

plan, however. The first section
from Cochise on the Southern Pa
cific main line was opened to Pearce
in 1902 Seven years later it was
extended to Kelton and Gleason
The 24-mile line opened 1909 from
Kelton toward Naco was later aban-
doned.
Lines Absorbed
Headquarters we're moved from
Naco to Tucson in July, 1908, and
then began the gradual acquisition
of the various lines that later COM
prised the Arizona Eastern. The
Maricopa and Phoenix road was &C
quired in that year, and in 1904 the
Gila Valley, Globe and Northern
came under Randolph's supervision.
The latter company, incorporat-
ed January "a, 1894, opened the line
from Bowie to Fort Thomas on May
1, 1895. Construction to Globe re-
manned at standstill for some
time, while William Garland, preSi-
dent of the company, carried on ne
gotations with the Apache Indians
for permission to lay tracks across
San Carlos reservation.
A second "pow-wow'' was held
February 8, 1898, when an agree
ment was reached whereby the IN
dians received $4,000 in cash and
other considerations, including free
rides on the trains for 80 years.
The railroad was opened to Globe

1904.
Meantime, the Arizona Eastern
Railroad Company had been or
ganized in February, 1904, with
plans to build through a portion of
the same territory as the Phoenix
and Eastern.
One of the wars" that frequently
featured railroad construction in the
early days developed between the
forces of the two companies in Gila
canyon. Litigation followed which
resulted in an agreement with the
Santa Fe whereby Southern Pacific
acquired all the capital stock Of the
Phoenix and Eastern.
From March 13, 1907, to March l.,
1910, it was operated under the
presidency of Epes Randolph, after
which it was leased to the Arizona
Eastern. The extension to Christ
mas was completed in 1909.
Pointed For Cochise Mines
Randolph had been sent to Ari-
zona by the Southern Pacific in
1902 as president and general man.
ager Of the Arizona and Colorado
and its connection into Mexico, the
Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific
railroad It was the intention to
build from the border town of Naco
into the mining region of Cochise
county, thence through the New
Mexico coal fields into Colorado.
Construction did not follow this

Nogales Tucson
Line Completed
On June 10, 1910

Perhaps the longest railroad curve
in the world, five miles in length,
and the longest piece of straight
track on the Southern Pacific lines
AZ miles-are located in Arizona.
Construction by the Southern Pa
cific Company across Arizona was
started at Yuma on November 10,
1878.
A momentary boom followed the
operation of trains on April %, 1879,
into Maricopa, named after the
stage station of Maricopa Wells,
seven miles to the north. But the
bubble soon burst and by the sum-
mer of 1887 the towns buildings and
its name we're moved four miles
east along the railroad.
Long Curve Built
Beyond Maricopa the railroad
constructed it's five-mile long curve,
with a 1O-minute curvature. East
of this curve is a 47-mile tangent,
the longest piece of straight track
on Southern Pacific lines.
Casa Grande was reached May
10, 1879. Work was delayed during
the summer, and it was March II.
1880, before the tracks reached Tue
son. Three days later the arrival
of the first passenger train was
greeted by military salute OF 38
guns. Banners of all nations flut-
tered from the outer walls of the
ancient pueblo.
President Charles Crocker drove
another of the 'last spikes for
which he was becoming famous.
Opened To Benson
The railroad was opened to Ben
son on June %, 1880. A military
escort accompanied the construction
forces as protection against the
Apache Indians, then on the war
path under Chief Geronimo. Built
through the present location Of
Wilcox, the railroad was opened to
Lordsburg on October 18, 1880; to
Deming on December Is, and to the
Rio Grande river at Ell Paso on
May 10, 1881, distance of $50 miles
from Yuma.
In succeeding years Southern Pa
cific built and acquired r,771 miles
of additional main line trackage in
Arizona and New Mexico, the
greater portion of which was in
cluded in the original properties of
the Arizona Eastern, acquired by
the Southern Pacific in March, 1907,
and the Ell Paso and Southwestern,
which came under Southern Pacific
management through consolidation
in November 1924
The Arizona Eastern Company
had it's origin in the Maricopa and
Phoenix Railroad Company opened
between those communities on July
4. 1887. There was no further con-
struction in the Salt River valley
until the Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa
built its line from Tempe to Mesa
in 1895
The Phoenix and Eastern, backed
by Santa Fe interests, began work
from Phoenix in February, 1902,
with Ell Paso as the proposed des-
tination. The road was completed
as far as Winkelman in December,

NEW PROBLEMS
SEEN AS SPUR
TO AUTO TRADE.
Only Sharpened Think
ing, Says MaCauley

President, Automobile Manufac-
turers Association

Today with the automobile in
dustry once more displaying its
new cars to the public and with
The Washington times., 1937-10-30
Automatic Shifting
'38 Auto Feature

phave obviously justified them by
giving the public considerably
more automobile for its money.
That this is the case is patent at a
glance, a glance will show that
even the popular price products
have been heightened out to wheel
bases which a decade ago were re-
served to the big, medium priced
models.
One will discover by a glance
at the specifications Of the new
cars that 1T inches, or more, is
the general standard in the low
price group. From five to 13
inches more than that is the rule
in what has come to be known as
the low medium group.
ECONOMY IN OPERATION
Moreover, there is economy Of
both operation and upkeep to save
the car buyer in the long run
more money than it will! cost him
to meet any higher initial costs.
The 1888 models are certain to
be hailed as the best looking yet
achieved by the body designer.
Greater size helps in this direc-
ton, but the real effect is achieved
by the complete Simplification Of
body lines. To achieve maximum
of what the engineer calls func-
tional efficiency, the last veStige
of useless ornamentation has been
eliminated from the exterior Of
the car. Not even the high speed
airplane has been more severely
stripped down to the absolute
essentials.
Even the hood lowers have
been eliminated in more instances
this year, with other companies
following in the footsteps Of the
successful manufacturer who q
year ago announced the discovery
that cooling was in no wise af
fected by this radical departure
from the old form.
From stem to stern, even though
retaining the standard form, the
car has been rounded off tt
present a minimum Of resistance
to the atmosphere through which
it passes.
The greater size of the Cal
has given the engine an opportu
nifty to do some really pleasing
tricks with roominess. In con
junction with the elimination o.
the gearshift lever in some in
stances, without it in others, the
spacious dimensions have resulted
in the further spread Of the six
passenger automobile.

The Washington times., 1937-10-30
By WILLIAM ULLMAN

That amazing bag of tricks
from which the automotlve en-
gineer has extracted SO much OF
wonder and admiration in the
past, this year yields a still more
miraculous machine.
Outwardly a thing of greater
beauty through simplification OF
line, it is the inner efficiency
achieved through many more
changes than had been expected
which constitutes the real story OF
the 1888 model-the car that is
expected to eclipse the astound-
ing sales volume of the vehicle OF
1929
SAFETY STRESSED
Safety, efficiency, driving ease
and riding comfort are the major
items stressed in the design of the
new cars. It is their consideration
which is responsible for the two
major developments of the year.
These are the automatic transmlS-
sion, an optional feature on a
number of new products, and the
widespread adoption Of coil springs
for rearend suspension. An i'm
pressive degree of roadablllty at
high speeds and greater riding
comfort at all speeds is claimed
for the latter.
Although the new springs have
taken the form of those used in
conjunction with independent sus-
pension of the front wheels. they
are not used toward an equivalent
end. Rear wheels are not yet in
dependently sprung. They are
still interconnected through solid
rear axle, but the effect Of the
connection in turning at high
speeds (aS on curves) or in driving
on rough roads is greatly dimin'
ished. Elimination of the driving
axle as it is shown today is aSSum
able as a logical next step; one
that may be the outstanding
feature of the motor cars Of 1899
AUTOMATIC SHIFTING
The automatic transmission, a
preselective type in which electri'
cal current actually makes the
shift with no more effort on the
drivers part than the pressing OF
button, has about it far more
glamorous qualities than any other
feature of this years motor cars
Even the least technical-minded
motorists will have something to
talk about in this development
one which will do more to revolu
tionize driving than any general
change in recent years.
Prices of cars are generally
higher, but the manufacturers

President, General Motors Corp.

With five million motor car pro
duction practically assured for
1887, the industry has every reason
The Washington times., 1937-10-30


There is no doubt but that
many new and serious problems
have arisen. However, from its
infancy our industry has thrived
and fattened on problems. They
have but served to further ex-
tend the efforts and to further
sharpen the thinking Of the men
who build automobiles.
GROWTH TO CONTINUE
Undoubtedly we could do still
better without them, but the In
dustry will continue to grow in
its Importance to the nation and
automobiles will continue to be
made better year after year, just
as they always have been before.
The motor car itself and the
manner in which it has been
greatly and continuously improved
year after year unquestionably are
the factors of greatest Importance
in the growth Of the automobile
industry.
The motor car itself cannot be
changed in its relationship to our
present scheme Of living. The
world cannot now do without it..
It also will continue to be i'm
proved. These prime factors are
the industry's greatest guaranty
OF the future.
MINISTRY HAS PIONEERED
Next place to the automobile
itself unquestionably could be as
signed to the constant develop
ment in machinery and processes
for manufacturing motor vehicles.
Our industry. through its willing
ness to 60 far afield in finding new,
shorter and better ways Of doing
things, new machines with which
to do them and new and better
materials unquestionably changed
and tremendously improved all
manufacturing. 1t has been the
pacemaker of all industry IN Such
developments.
It is not to be expected that
the next 80 years will see the same
degree of progress that was made
with this big second factor during
the last 80 years. However, fur
ther progress must come with the
concentrated thinking by the tech
biological brains of America that
is being given to the motor car
and it's manufacture.
TWO OTHER FACTORS
Two other factors have also
been leaders in making the auto
mobile industry great. They have
been affected by influences over
which the industry has no control
One is profit in manufacture
It certainly should be agreed that
the automobile industry never
would have grown to its present
state had there been no profit
incentive to stir men to risk theiI
dollars and to expend their utmost
efforts,

it's worth in The daily life OF every
American.
HOPE TO DO PART
We, in General Motors, expect
to do our part toward keeping the
motor car in the vanguard OF all
conveyances in the point of service.
We hope that the owners will find
it still better, still more economical
still more comfortable and beau
tiful.
There will never be a time when
we go before the public without
some substantial proof of progress,
as fast as it has been proved in
our laboratories and on our prov
ing grounds.
EXPRESSES THANKS
We are grateful for the support
of General Motors car owners dur,
ing the years. There was unfor,
tunately a period of 1887 when,
through no fault of our own, we
were unable to give the proper
delivery dates to our owners.
The fact that by September l it
was possible to exceed 1885 produc.
ton by a substantial number OF
cars proves that General Motors
car owners stood Loyalty by the
product.
