tales, tall, powerful and 1.-THE young Mexi-
can of handsome features and daredevil
disposition, is noted as the best wrestler
and runner and most reckless horseman
in all this district. He owns a small ranch,
breeds coed cattle and has money in the
bank. A month ago he fell in love with
Antonio Mendoza, a young daughter
of neighboring cattleman, and she agreed
to marry him. Eduardo Valdez, d youngster

plays the twelve-stringed guitar and says
his father is hidalgo, came along, and Anto-

ter its reorganization. This, however, is
unofficial, as l am not acquainted with
the plans of the owners of the road. The
work on the Waco branch is rapidly going
forward, and when this is done we will
have 100 miles more of track. Most of the
lumber from the pine forests of he east is
being hauled by the Southern Pacific and
Houston. East and West Texas. I see no
reason why this road should not be built
forward in that direction, and we secure
the benefit of hauling this lumber for our

HUNTINGTON'S IDEAS.

New YORK. May 26-'I believe that
can take all of the railroads in this country.
knock per cent out of the existing rates
as they appear on he preface and pay per
cent dividends on all stocks" This remark
was made by c. 2. Huntington in speaking
of the present condition of railroad bust
ness. Il would run all Of the roads as one
property said he. and never charge more
for short hauls than long hauls. That is
where there is only rail competition the
public IS not satisfied with the way things
are running now, and the railroads are not
satisfied. Too much money is wasted in
railroad buaineSS in keeping up unneces-
sary and expensive officers. paving COM
missions and rebates. and in cutting rates.
Each carload Of freight out of this town is
run after by twenty different interests.
There is q scramble FOR II, and rates are
cut. l I'm in perfect accord with the action
taken 1T the recent meeting of the advisory
board of the Western traffic association. l
WIS unable to attend the meeting myself,
but | ARRANGED with Marvin Hugh
lit to look after the interests
of the Southern Pacific road. I believe in
establishing Joint railroad agencies where
ever such agencies are practicable. 1t seems
70 me THAI the interests OF both the public
and the railroads lie in that direction. OF
course such agencies must be conducted in
the interests of all the roads concerned. |
do not think that Gould or any other pow
erful railroad interest, could dominate. The
moment that it became apparent that one
or two roads Were getting the best of the
others. the whole joint agency scheme
would fall to pieces. Railroads rs well rs
men, can be as INDEPENDENTLY poor as they
can be independently rich. We might work
in the interest of all"
Huntington said the great consolidation
scheme which is destined to bring together
under one management the Southern Pa
oific. the Missouri Pacific, the Santa Fe,
and the Union Pacific systems, was get
ting along slowly. The important problem
to solve was the basis of values upon which
each property could come in. OF course to
1iX that basis and arrange the details must
necessarily take long time.

states that just before leaving there ne saw

been no such affair as that reported that is
the gangs capture III i cave, so far as any
of the force they were with was concerned !;
that they had never had the Daltons sur
rounded nor had any other party that they
heard of, and did not believe that the story
sent out from Tishomingo was correct at
all. Tishomingo is not in the Strip and is
remote from railway and it is more than
probable that this information from the
Indian police is correct, as they were hunt
ing Dalton in the Strip at the date of the
alleged capture.
