Railroad men were surprised by the proposal, did not think the I. C. C. would ever grant permission. Two direct lines link Denver to Southern California at present, the 1,400-mi. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe route and the 1.409-1111. route covered by the Union Pacific. With existing roads doing poorly, the new company will have a hard time proving "necessity and convenience," will have to rely on better arguments than the fact that 860 mi. of new track would mean some $9.000,000 worth of orders for rails alone...
...farm in Harvard, near Boston. Like his hero Bill, he has wandered. He first became known to literary critics for his "Ballad of a Strange Thing," which appeared in the American Caravan in 1927. After the publication of Trine in 1927 Epicist Putnam went West, lived in Santa Fe, became closely associated with New Mexico's connoisseur Senator Bronson Cutting. He now lives in Sandy Springs, Md., is interested in senatorial politics, is engaged in composing some of the major narrative portions of his poem...
...charge was another man the Indians had seen for many years. Jesse Logan Nusbaum. Many of the Eastern artists, writers, chatterers and pollywogs of culture who inhabit Santa Fe think Mr. Nusbaum is a Jew. He is an Episcopalian, a Mason, a Republican, and, say all Indians, a "good guy." He used to ask a lot of foolish questions about how do you say this in Navaho, and why do the Hopi do that. Now he knows more about the Indians and their ancestors than Indians themselves know. He has a young son, Deric, who gets on well with Indians...
...Laboratory of Anthropology, about which Santa Fe's fiesta-attending Indians gossiped, has just been formally opened. It is the world's only institution of its kind. Its purpose: to answer man's ever lasting curiosity about how he came to live as he does. In the dry U. S. South west, as in dry Peru, Egypt, Palestine and Mesopotamia, remnants of his early society still persist. Diligent searchers find tidbits of information which indicate how families grouped into tribes, tribes into peoples; how man progressed with his domestic utensils, from woven baskets to turned pots, from...
More famed even than the Burpees are the Starks who came less recently into the Burbank activities. Judge James Stark, home from the War of 1812, founded the company in the territory explored (1806-07) by General Zebulon Pike which then stretched from the Mississippi to the Santa Fe. Today the Stark organization maintains the oldest nurseries in the U. S., the largest in the world. On 3,992 acres, in plantations located in seven States they propagate fruit trees, roses, shrubs. In France, too, they maintain nurseries. They employ nearly a thousand men and women. About 15.000 commission salesmen...
