KVEMMBIT OF SOUTHWEST
Santa Ft't California Limit by
Way of Amnrilln Another
Step in the Progress.
The announcement of the installa*
tion of the new transcontenial train
ever the Santa Fe brings reminef-
ence to the minds of the old timers
of this country who have watched
the development of the panhandle
and the great Southwest. It is bare*
ly twenty years since the Santa Fe
ran its first train into California.
During that period the Southwest has
become i n integral part of the Unit-
ed States, the Panhandle an empire
within itself and the Santa Fe one of
the greatest roads in the country. It
has been a little more than a year
since the Amarillo-Albuquerque ser-
vice was established, which in itself
was a great factor in developing this
country. What has accured in the
transformation of this country in the
past two decades is marvelous.
The first through train on the San-
ta Fe to reach California was in 1886
and it used the Southern Pacific
tracks between Colton and Los An-
geles. In May the following year
the main line was completed by way
of Passadena, and the trains were
sent over this route. In 1885 the
Calfornia Limited started from Los
Angeles to the east during the win-
ter months. This train the pride of
California during the summer months
run on a semi-monthly schedule.
About five years ago, it began a
daily service and has remained such
both winter and summer. Beginning
January 1st it will be routed by way
of Amarillo and Hereford.—Amarillo

Diss at Hotel.

Ohio, who came here some weeks
ago thinking a change of climate and
altitude might benefit her health,
died in her room at the Northern
Hotel last Saturday night. Only
her 10-year-old daughter was with
her at the time of her death, Mr.
Byers being unable to get to Here-
ford in time. He did not arrive un-
til Monday, when the remains were
shipped back to her home. Friends
