New Railroad Projects.

The Optic has received information
that new railroad project, which will be
of great advantage to Las Vegas, is be-
ing quietly pushed. The proposed line
will run from Trinidad over Chicken
creek to Blossburg, down that canon to
Ration, thence along the foot hills to
Oimarron, up Cimarron canon to the
Meriuo valley, down the valley toward
Black lakes, then down the most feasible
route to the Mora valley, then by the best
route to Las Vegas. This line will also
run feeders to the new mining camps on
the Maxwell grant. It will also run
through the new agricultural lands in the
vermejo ditch system and tap the Mora
valley trade. 1t, with any line running
from Trinidad to Denver, would be
shorter than the proposed short line
from Denver to New Mexico. Several
prominent men in Ration, Trinidad and
Denver are connected with it.-Las Vegas

MOMENTOUS POINTS.
The e.. Trust Company's Demand
for Sale of the A. & P. to Come
Before Judge Collier on
Saturday.

The Atlantic & Pacific railroad case, in
volving the neat little sum of $16,50O,OOO,
comes on again for hearing before Judge
Collier at Albuquerque on Saturday next.
The title of the case is the United States
Trust Company vs.. the A. & P. Railroad
Company, ct al. The trust company has
filed exceptions to defendants answer in
the former suit, on the ground that said
answer does not pertain to the real mat.
ters at issue. Arguments are to be heard
on this point. Among the attorneys en-
gagged are s. D. Kenna, LIZ. Parker, Rob-
ert Dunlap, H. L. Waldo and Judge Ster-
ry for the railroad; F. M. Jennings, of
New York, and N. B. Field for the trust
company.
The courts decision ON these excep-
tions will practically determine whether
or not there will be an immediate sale
under foreclosure of the A. q P. road to
satisfy the first mortgage bondholders
represented by the U. s. Trust company.
If the sale is ordered doubtless this inter-
est will see to it that the price will reach
somewhere near $16,5oO,o 900, which would
give them par value for bonds they
bought at a song and permit them to
make pile of money out of the TRANSACT
ton. Naturally the Santa Fe wants the
A. & p, but is hardly prepared to pay
$16,500,00O for it. Should the road by
any hook or crook fall into hands other
than the Santa Fe the latter road would
be forced to fall back on it's reorganiza-
ton committees plan and float 100000
600 of new bonds to build an independent
line from The Rio Grande to the Pacific
coast. Thus great questions are involved
WHICH are attracting wide attention.

as 1T HONEST ?"

The following has been sent US for publi-
cation. We know nothing of the matter
complained of, but give place to this article
as as coming trom one who may have a cause
OF eomplaint.-Ed.l '''''0
Mr.. EDITOR:
Having been informed that it is the
custom of the millers when farmers
take their wheat to the mills to have it
ground into flour for family use, the
mlllers after first taking their toll,
grind the balance into flour, giving the
farmers the super-fine -four and bran,
keeping the coarse flour, which it would
seem also was theirs, and in no wise of
right belonging to the miller, but is abb
solutely the property of the farmer.
The law relative thereto is specific,
and is as follows; "For grinding wheat
or malt a tenth part; and for grinding
in bran, corn, rye and buckwheat an
eighth part; and If any miller shall take
more than this he shall forfeit and pay
fifteen dollars and eosts to any one who
viii sue for same, !"
1t must be observed the penalty for
violating this law is fifteen dollars and
costs, which any one may be entitled
to or recover by suing for before any
Magistrate in the county where such
violation may occur. Farmers and
others who may have been imposed on
by millers have the remedy stated and
an example made of any miller found
guilty of violating this law might tend
to correct the evil complained of and he
the cause of farmers getting their hon
est dues. 80

Remembrance of the big Oak"

In noting in our issue of Oct. I'd,
the almost final destruction of the well
known big Oak" two miles below
Smyrna on the State road, only a shell
of it remaining, we republished from
an issue of the TINES Of nearly eigh-
teen years ago some verses on this old
landmark that in sentiment, imagina-
tiOn, and rhymth had the essential ele-
ments of poetry.
We well remembered Mr.. Robert
Gass, then resident of Smyrna, and
his unusually lucid and vigorous prose
compositions, but had forgotten his
pseudOnym with poetical compositions,
''Derlft being taken from his post town
in Ireland. After few years residence
in Smyrna he moved to Philadelphia,
and is one of the keepers in the State
Penitentiary. The following letter in
reference to the publication came to
hand the past week
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10, 1895.
Mr.. EDITOR:
Dear Sir:-In your issue of Oct 2d
was surprised to see an item relating to
the "Blg Oak, " and am very sorry to
know that the old landmark is no more.
And although l have never sat beneath
its shady bOughs, or enjOyed the cool
ing breezes which famed its branches
of a sultry summer day or evening; vet
can drop tear over its remains. as
over a dear and lamented friend. But
no NJ, - L
tired and dust-stained, have | watched
to see its noble form rising up towards
the sky, because to me it was the har-
blnger of home and rest
AS when the weary travell, rga'ns
The height Of some Oerlooking hill
lis heart reviveS as DER the plain
lie sees bis homo though dislants;il"
But the old ''silent watcher" is no
more. Cruel fate has indeed laid her
hand upon it. And as when friends de-
part, every kind word which has been
written or spoken concerning them is
brought to remembrance, so has it been
with the old tree. And it is a good
consolation to the writer to know that
he has been remembered in connection
with that relic of by-gone years.
1t is pleasure to write for the in
structiOn or entertainment of any peO-
pie, but Tor one to know that his words
are remembered many years after. even
when the writer has almost sunk out of
memory, is an honor accorded to but
few. And as 1 read over these lines
penned nearly eighteen years ago ''To
the Big Oak, l cannot refrain tear of
affection and appreciation over the kind
remembrance of my Smyrna friends as
well as over the memory of that sacred
tree And if you will pardon me, l will
repeat few lines written for the TIMES
many years ago, which express my sim
cere sentiments even more fully than
when written, especially in regard to
the people of Smyrna
Tried friends are there VIII sc honored names
My heart III ough lie shall share.
But yet no place 81 dear so sweet
As LITTLE Delaware"
Yours sincerely, Il. G. DERLIT.

The MASONIC Hall Imnroyement.

Harmony Lodge, No. 19, A. F. and
A. NJ, has been making some beautiful
improvements to its rooms on the third
floor of the Town Hall. By the cost
of a few hundred dollars they have
made their hall one of the most beauti-
full Masonic lodge rooms of the State.
The room has been re-plastered and re-
grained and beautifully papered in me-
dium blue high grade Boston felt.
with a splendid frieze running into a
very delicate shade of light blue and
gilt, with handsome moulding to
match, The woodwork is finished in
walnut. Venetian shades have been
added to the windows and the entire
furniture re-varnished and Frightened
up.
Another great improvement has been
made toward heating tLe room, At
each end is gas radiator Of the i'm
proved style, and attractive in appear
ance. This is most satisfactory ar
rangement over the old way. The ante
room and preparation room also contain
a small gas stove each.
Another brilliant feature of the hall
is the arrangement of the electric
lights. There are three electroleers
hanging in direct line in the centre of
the ceiling, Each contains a spray of
six frosted bulbs, but the centre one is
made more attractive by an alternate
blue and white. The effect made TO
the room when lighted is most bewiteh-
ing. Besides this new brussels car
pet was laid some time ago. which
matches nicely with the beautiful pa
per.
The papering and painting was done
by Jos. E. Carter, of this town. The
entire work was in charge of the Com
mittee of Improvement, composed of
Jos. Smithers, Edw. G.. Walls and H.
S. Anthony. The present worshipful
Master of the Lodge is Rev. G. w.

AN ALARM OF FIRE.
Caused By An Overheated Stove.

While the several churches about
town were holding services Sunday
morning, the alarm of fire was given.
1t was found upon discovery to be the
residence John M. Voshell, on lower
Main Street. 1t was not long after the
alarm was given before our hose COM
pany was out and in a little while our
streets were scene of confusion.
The house which had taken fire was
closed at the time, Mr.. and Mrs. Voshell
having gone to Odessa the previous day
and left the key in charge of
their neighbOr. The latter was attend
ing to the fires and taking gem
eral charge of the house. He went in
early in the morning, fixed the fires
and came out. Shortly after II o'lock
the alarm was given by one of the
neighbors who saw smoke issuing from
the weather boarding. The house was
opened and found to be full of smoke.
A hydrant hose was attached but could
not be made to reach the fire, which
had taken place in the old-fashioned
chimney cupboard, and had already
made its way to the joists between the
wall and weather boarding. Friends
in the meantime were carrying out fur
niture and other household effects.
The early arrival of the Fire Company
soon got the flames under control, and
by cutting into the weather boarding
extinguished the fire Mr.. B. A. HAZEL
drove to Odessa that afternoon and
told Mr. VOshell of the unfortunate
happening They were just about
ready to come home.
An interview with Mr.. Voshell the
next day could hardly yreveal the amount
of damage done He said that more
damage was made by the Fire Company
in putting the flames out than anything
else and it was difficult to place the
loss. The house had just been cleaned
and put i'll order for the winter. Both
the dining-room and sitting-room were
badly ruined by the black smoke and
water. The carpets were damaged and
the paper so ruined as to need entire
repapering. The cause of the fire was
from an overheated stove. Both house
and furniture are covered by insurance,
and while the damage may be compar-
itively small, yet it was by the prompt
effort of our faithful Fire Company that
the flames did not get beyond control.
The wind was blowing a steady gale
and should the house have been CON
sumed it would have placed that COM
munity i'll precarious situation. Mrs.
VOshell places the aggregate loss from
$500 to $4OO.

AN OFFICIAL. VISIT.
Superintendent Frazier Complimentary To.
ward Smyrna,


Il. b. Frazier, of Wilmington. Super-
intendent of Vital Statistics of Della
ware and Sanitary Commissioner, paid
our town and this office a visit on Fri
day.
He said Smyrna presented such a
neat, hOmelike appearance, that there
was little or nothing to see after. This
was not the case everywhere, though
there was manifest improvement all
up and down the State. In it's water
supply, sewerage system, electric as
well as gas lights, clean streets and
large school house, Smyrna in the com
bination of them all, stood without a
peer.
In the matter of public school build
lngs, he said there had been a manifest
Improvement in the past ten or twelve
years. New and large schOol-houses
had been erected in Harrington, Sea-
ford, Laurel, Milton, Georgetown and
other towns. Harrington claims to
have the highest curriculum in it's
school of any town in the county.
Georgetown drops behind in it's street
improvement and cleanliness of other
towns OF corresponding importance.
The trouble that combats boards of
health everywhere is the cesspool and
pig pen. The first, when an excavation
IN the ground, is part of the freehold,
and as such the expense of keeping
clean belongs to the owner and not the
tenant. The tenant is amenable for
surface nuisances.
The pig pen has been the difficult
thing to get Boards of Health to take
hold of. The claim is that many poor
men would be without their barrel of
pork if they could not raise a pig and
feed it into big hog, for they never
have money enough in pocket to paw
down for hog at once. Thus it enters
INTO and becomes a political question
on the specious plea that the rights of
the poor man are being interefered
with and his ballot may be endangered.
Supt. Frazier holds that Boards of
Health have power by the existing
statutes to remove pig pens and abate
nuisance efiecting health.

THE TOMATO PACK.

Notwithstanding the absence of rain
from the first part of July except few
surface showers, and the one good
rainfall at the end of the first week in
September, the tomato crop did re-
markably we'll. The killing frost did
not come until the night of October 7th
and had there been less heat and more
rain IN September there might have
been much better yield. The large
Gamers were in consequence (and it
was an unusual occurrence) virtually
closed before the frost came. Shipping
has been going on for month past.
John H. Hoffecker put up 12, 600 cases
of two dozen cans, the fruit being of bet
ter quality than usual. The pack last
year was about 49, 900 cases.
Charles Osborn did not quite reach
5000 cases, which was cleverly short of
last year. He had something over 5000
cases of corn, only about half of what
he expected. He had the acreage
planted, but his sugar corn reached the
gathering period in the most critical
time of the drought.
J. b. Counselman & Co. had 1000
cases, against 1000 last year, They
however made up for the lack of toma-
toes by canning apples, reaching 20OO
cases Of this commodity and $50 cases
of pears.
Mrs G, Peterson -Speahman, who
canned tomatoes whole, mostly from
her own field, did not finish gathering
a good lot before the frost felD until
the 18th Of October. Her pack will be
10000 in tin cans and 1900 in glass
cans, and would have been several
thousand more with a good season.
Mrs. Speakman's method is necessarily
much slower, every tomato having to
be placed by hand, but it was not for
an uncertain market, as she had orders
for Ler whole crop and more.
