after the moot succesaful year of ex-
position history. Three exposition
records were broken in the 1929 show
— attendance, receipts and, for the
first time, finds sufficinet to moot
all outstanding expenses.
The day was "exhibitors' day";
only one event, a Boy Scout safety
contest, was on the program.
Late thia afteraeon, with the IMS
expositien safely oat of the way, di-
rectors of the show were laying plans
f»r Iba pcx* "world's fate of the oil
industry." If hepee, aanouaoed

Will Bring Wheat South
By connecting with the three
branch lines in the Texas Pan:
handle, la Oklahoma and Kansas, all
of which are in the wheat belts of
their respeetive states, tho now Santa
Fo route would provide a direct rout*
for grain movement south to the
Gulf, through Amarillo.
fa addition, tho now road will give
the Santa Fo a southern route to
Texas, and the Golf, for through ton:
nago from Denver. The proposed
line would be 25 miles shorter be-
tween Amarillo and Denver, than tho
Fort Worth & Denver road, and would
shorten the distance on Santa Fo
lines between Denver and Amarillo
by more than 400 miles, Badta Fe of-
fielals in Amarillo yesterday deelared.
The Santa Fe now reaches Amarillo
out of Denver either by way, of Belon,
New Mexico, or by Newton, Eanses.
Each route is upwards of 400 miles.
Under the proposed new line the
route from Denver to Amarillo will
be 438 miles.
Santa Fe officials in Amarillo were
outspoken in their expressions as to
what the new line will mean to their
aystem ta the Southwest, and par-
ticularly to Amarillo. Grain men,
wholesalers end business men in gen-
eral were elated that the Santa Fe
had filed the application.
The new line, if built, will make a
great wheat center out of Amarillo,
in the opinion of grain men who yes-
terday were interviewed.
Moot of Beata Surveyed ’
All of the Santa Fa’s lines north
of Amarillo in the Oklahoma and
Kansas wheat belts run east and
wyst, tending to pull grain toward
Wichita and Kansas City. The new
Une, running south through Amarillo
to the Gulf, will draw groin ta Amo
rillo from an immense territory, it io
believed.
Ptactically all of the route has
been surveyed, according to Begors
C. Martini, assistant general mana-
ger of Santa Fo lines in Amarillo.
Mr. Martini was optimistie over
possibilities the project holds for
