ALEX MULLENDORE, 211-214 Street Supt. SANTA FE HAS BEGUN SECURING RIGHT OF WAY It Is the Next Step After Locating New Line to Run Through Grant and Stanton Counties. Engineer J.

W. Stewart and a party of assistants went to New Ulysses yesterday to begin work in securing right of way for the new branch of the Santa Fe which is to be built from Satanta west into Colorado. part of the right of way needed through Grant county and Stanton county already is owned by the company. When -the company land in Grant county was sold, reservations were made for the right of way, but most of the land which the company formerly owned is north of the location selected for the new line. In Stanton couty, the company still owns some of the land through which the new railroad will pass.

Men from the different communities along the new line will assist the company in securing right of way through private lands. The present indications are that the construction work on the new branch may be started this fall. Preparations for the building of the line have been kept moving, and unless there is unexpected delay in securing right of way it is likely that the construction work will be commenced within a few months. Some weeks ago a party of Santa Fe engineers completed the work of locating the line, and now the work of securing right of way is started. On account of these activities the fear that the company might, postpone the building on account of the war has been overcome in the counties of the southwest.
