The construction of new shops for

once.

In and by 3 o'clock this morning the
ground had been staked off, and all
preliminary arrangements made for
the immediate erection of the neces-
sary buildings. The machinery has
been ordered and in ten days will be
here, ready to be placed In position.
The first work to be done Is a build
ing where cars can be built and re-
paired. All the cars used in the freight
department will be built here, as well
as the old ones repaired. Next Will
be a commodious blacksmith shop,
where a considerable force will be en-
ployed. Then the machine shop will
be enlarged and machinery added that
will enable the entire rebuilding Of an
engine. In fact, every department
will be enlarged. One hundred addi-
tional men will be employed at once,
most of whom will be skilled mechan-
les. This means the doubling of the
pay roll, and an increased business to
our merchants 1t is one of the most
important moves possible for the ad-
yancement of the city. Those who are
posted assert that the present improve
ments are but the forerunner of the
building of an independent line be-
tween this city and Pueblo by the
Gulf.

Friends of the Statehood Bills Very Mucl

Friends of the Statehood Bills Very Much
Encouraged.
Washington, Dec. 10.-The friends OF
territorial admission bills feel much re-
lieved over the action of the Democrat
ic senatorial caucus in deciding 10
place these bills on the preferred calen-
dar There had been some opposition
feared lest the fact that Arizona and
New Mexico had elected Republican
delegates to congress at the last cleo
ton would have the effect of causing
the Democratic senate to decide
against taking the bills up at the pres
ent session. Senator Faulkner, chair
man of the Territorial committee, had
been a persistent advocate OF the pol
icy of including these bills In the pro-
gramme for the short session meeting.
The arguments of those who would
have had the bills side-tracked for
political reasons were met with the as
sertion that the result of the recent
election could not be accepted as In
any sense a criterion of the perma-
nent political preferences Of the peo-
pie of the territory.
Delegates Joseph and Smith, repre-
senting the two territories, and both
Democrats, confirmed this opinion.
Both of them have been spending con-
siderable time on the floor of the SELL
ate recently, giving close attention to
the admission question. They urged
upon Democratic senators 1t is unfair
to judge the predictions of their re-
spective constituents by the results in
the contests for delegates In the terri
tories, as in the territories, as else
where, many Democrats remained
away from the polls at the November
election.
Messrs Joseph and Smith argue from
these premises that the territories will
prove safely Democratic as states, and
urging that the programme for admis-
sion be carried forward just as zeal
ously as though they were both to con
tinue to sit in the house the next two
years.

80 per cent, arter three years trial,
are found to be walking the paths Of
virtue, and that we save these girls at
a cost of no more than f3 shillings,
or S16. Sixteen dollars is not a great
cost at which to save girl from on

a lady spends for a dress, or even for

"You ask me how this work is done.
Well, 1t is done by loving hearts and
loving hands and a self-sacrificing peO-
pie. Ten thousand and fifty officers
have within these four years been
raised up and trained for this work,
and they are increasing every year,
and am in hopes that we will get o
large host to Join this work of human
ity. This work has been done by the
grace and power of the Holy Ghost.
We fall back upon God for the saliva

up my mind. My idea is to take peo-
pie just in the same way as the shep-
herd who has a great many sheep.
They keep on cropping the grass until
there are no green blades left, and he
sees across the river thousands of acres
more, and the shepherd transfers them
over in scientific manner. Just 50
