Pacific trains will be running into this

The Southern Pacific railroad shops
at Ell Paso have been closed down and
a large number of men laid off at differ
ent shops along the line. This is owing
to the quarantines that have been
established which has stopped most of
the travel on the S. P. route, most of
the freight and passenger traffic from
the east passing over the northern
routes. Thus yellow fever does more
than destroy people, it strikes down
trade as well. 1t is believed the fever
will soon be checked by the approach
freezing season, then trade will assume
its natural channel and the shops will
again be in motion.
