The Southern Pacific is hopelessly
mired in the great volume of freight
traffic that is being thrust upon them.
Every engine that the road possesses
is in use and in addition they have
borrowed some fifteen or twenty from
other lines and still have not enough.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
besides furnishing free transportation
to the troops expected to participate
in the coming state encampment. has
announced maximum rate of Sc for
the round trip, for the benefit of Wis
itors during encampment week. The
katy" will be followed by the Texas
Pacific and probably by all the roads.
The railroad men generally think
that there will be great numbers of
visitors on that occasion.
Bridge Superintendent j. +. France
has let the contract Tor the erection
of the great machine shops and round
house at Ell Paso, which is designed
to be used by both the Atlantic and
Pacific divisions of the Southern Pa
cific and by the Texas Pacific.
An addition of nine stalls will
be made to the present fifteen
of the round-house, and there will be
three buildings for machine shops,
one 20 by $50 feet; one 80 by 40 feet, an
other 20 by 20, and all accessory build
ings, the whole to be of brick and
rock and to cost 100000, the contract
price. The present frame round
house will remain tor a few years,
when it will be replaced by a stone and
brick building. The contractor is
George Paul, of Ell PasO, and the SUI
perintendent is busy sending out men
to help carry on the work of erection.
These machine shops will be as large
and employ about as many men as
the shops here, and the citizens of FL
Paso are in consequence jubilant.
