On the organization in 1884 the original amountdof $1,000,000 was paid in cash and the authorized capital stock was in- creased to $100,000,000. With the issue of $87,076,200 of this new. sfock the greater part of the capital stock was acquired in the proprietary lines ipcluded in the om- nibus lease. s For the purpose of acquiring the pro- prietorship of additional lines, the au- thorized capital was fixed in 1888 at $i80,- 000,000. The practical operations of the company commenced March 1, 1885, on which date the omnibus lease went into effect. On April 1 following the lease of t:'le Central Pacific lines went into opera- tion. » Huntington, Stanford, Crocker and Hopkins, the “big four,” who had built and controlled the Central Pacific, were the principal organizers and owners of nearly all the stock of the Southern Pa- cific Company. Omnibus Lease. By the omnibus lease mentioned the Southern Pacific Company (of Kentucky) brought into one system a total mileage of 7978.50 miles, making it the largest in existence under one management. It In- cluded the Southern Pacific Railroad Com- pany of California, the Southern Pacific Rallroad Company of Arizona, the South- ern Pacific Rallroad Company of New Mexico, the Loulsiana Western Rallroad Company and Morgan's Loulsiana and Texas Rallroad and Steamship Company. Other lines of which it secured control gave it a continuous rail route, known as the “Sunset” route, from San Francisco to New Orleans, thence by steamer to New York. The lines in the State of Texas were not included in the omnibus lease, but were operated under statutory requirements of that State by their own officers independ- ently. These lines are controlled by the Southern Pacific Company through own- ership of the capital stock. The California Pacific Railroad was leased November 1, 188, for fifty years. The Central Pacific was leased February 17, 1885, for a long term. The Northern Rallway was leased July 1, 188, for ninety-nine years. The Oregon and California was leased July 1, 1887, for for- ty years. The SBouth Pacific Coast Rall- way was leased July 1, 1887, for fifty-five vears, and the Northern California Rail- way was leased June 1, 1889, for forty vears. For a time the Southern Pacific Com- pany, by ownership and lease, had con- trol of lines from New Orleans up through Mississippl, Tennessce, Kentucky and Vir- sinia to Loulsville, Cincinnati and the At- | lantic coast, but within the last few years has surrendered this control, though still holding traffic arrangements that give it full facilities for reaching the points named. Southern Pacific Presidents. Up to a short time previous to the death of C. P. Huntington, the president of the company, the origfhal holdings of the “Big Four” had been kept sufficfently in- tact to enable him to retain the manage-| ment of the road. On his death in Au- gust, 1900, the Speyers, who represented large European loldings, having secured also large blocks of stock from the Crocker and Stanford holdings, named C. M. Hays, then president of the Grand Trunk Rallroad, as the president of the Southern Pacific Company. Mr. Hays ar- rived In 8an Francisco on January 6 of the present year and at once assumed the duties of his office. He was the third man who had filled that position, so im- portant to the business erests of Call- fornia and the rest of the Pacific Coast. The two who preceded him were Leland Stanford, who was president from the in- ception to the latter part of the elghties, and Collis P. Huntington, who succeeded Stanford and filled the office until his death, August 14. 1900. REACH AN AGREEMENT. Understanding Between Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Arrived At. NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—It is stated that a community of interests between the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Re Railroad Company and the Harriman interests has just been established as far as Pacific Ocean or Oriental traffic Is_concerucd. Instead of the Santa Fe establishing an independent Pacific Ocean line from San Francisco, or making an arrangement with the Hamburg-American Steamshio Company, as has heretofore been report- ed, negotiations have just been concluded whereg)' it will discontinue its San Die, ocean line on February 1, 1902, and will jointly with the Southern Pacific Com- pany, use the Pacific Mall Steamship Company for its trans-Pacific outlet. Under the new arrangement with the Paclfic Mail Steamship Company the San- ta Fe is given equal rights 'with the Southern Pacific and Is guaranteed a cer- tain percentage of Oriental traffic. Entertainment for Charity. The Alden Club, International Sunshine Society, entertained-its friends Yyesterday afternoon at the Century Club with a programme of music and an excellently produced farce. The . attendance was large. The proceeds will be devoted to charity. The farce ‘“Place aux Dame: was cieverly interpreted by the followin, Jullette, Miss Josephine Chapman;: Oph lla, Miss Dollle Chapman; Lady Mac- beth, Miss Mary Inglis; Portla, Miss Lil- lan -Quinn.
