 On account of the coal strike at Gallup and the great depression in business, the Atlantic & Pacific road has declined to haul the special coaches of the Editorial Association of Southern California to Flagstaff, as requested by them.

To attach their coaches to regular train would make it too heavy to haul, and so the company had reluctantly to decline. We presume now, the next meeting will necessarily be held on the coast somewhere.-The Needles Eye.
