The Narrow Gauge Inaugurates u Cit
to Trinidad-The A., T. G. S. F.
Cutting New Mexico Rates
General Rail News.

The passenger rate war between the
narrow gauge and A., T. g. s. F. lines is
about to further invade New Mexico. To-
day. in addition to its IS rate to Denver,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs, the y. &
R. G. placed on sale tickets from Santa
Fe to Trinidad via veta Pass and Cuohara
junction at IS. This is another cut into
A., T. g. s. F. territory and is reduction
of $3.45 over the regular A., T. g. s. F.
rate from this city to Trinidad, while at
the same time it cuts just TINT deem on
all regular rates to eastern points.
The A., T. & s. F. will more than likely
meet this cut. Indeed, orders are momen-
tarily expected announcing $40 rate to
Chicago and return via the Santa Fe. The
Denver afternoon papers of Tuesday say
that such rate has already been made,
but up to noon Agent Smith had not been
advised on the subject. The Denver Sun
says:
"Another move in the rate war was
made yesterday by the placing of thirty
days round trip ticket from Santa Fe, N.
NJ, to Chicago at $40. The rate is in
reality aconsummation brought around by
the use of the IS single rate from Santa
Fe to Denver and the $50 rate to Chicago.
The low-rate tickets are causing much
travel, and trains leaving Santa*Fe are
reported we'll loaded"
LIVELY sQUABDLE.
A spirited contest for the business of
hauling the U. s. government Indian
school contingent from Albuquerque to
the Worlds fair has been going on for
several days between the A., 7. d s. F.
and the narrow gauge representatives at
Albuquerque. There are thirty-eight
people in Prof. Creager's party and it
appears that he has been instructed by
the Indian department to make the best
terms possible for transportation to Chi
cago. The A., T. q S. T. offered to haul
them for $1,000 and Supt. Helm, of the
narrow gauge, then figured little and
offered to supply special car and take
them through over his lines for $43 per
head for the round trip or $1,634. It is
understood to-day that the A., L. & s. F.
has secured the business, from which it is
inferred that it has made its first cut on
regular rates out of central New Mexico.

The Fort Worth Gazette announces
that arrangements have been made for
the building of 100 miles of the Fort
Worth & Albuquerque railroad. An dir
line between the two intended terminal
points would cross the Pecos near Fl
Summer; but knowing, as we dc, the ma
ture Of the country through which this
line would pass, we are satisfied that it
will reach the Pecos valley lower down,
and will come by way of Roswell-Regis-

All of its lines converge in that STATE and
