THE RAILROADS AND THE LEVEE
What a Prominent Railroad Offici al
Thinks of the Proposition

A HERALD reporter interviewed
prominent railr Dad official this morn
ing on the proposed building of a levee
by the 10 Mt efforts of the railroads
entering here. He did not want his
name used yet, but it is sufficient to
say that he holds a high position with
his road and his word goes long way
with the company he represents. He
said:
81 do not yet understand what the
mayor and city council of Ell Paso want
the railroads to do. The proposition
cannot be acted on jointly by the rail-
roads until each railroad has az
authorized representative and a meet
ing is held and L cannot yet see where
the railroads would profit by the build
ing of a leves around the city, unless
to. grant any, more railroad
all new railways that wanted
to get into the city to come in over the
jointly owned track that the company
would build en- the levee. This would
give the railroads that built the levee
a chance to get back some of the out
lsy they had made in building the
levee. The proposition OF Mayor Mag
ot1in is not yet clear enough to be act
ed on by the railroad companies; ip
fact l FIR one do no. Know what are his
IDEAS or inter tiOns about letting the
railroads build the levee. Under GER
tain conditions the building of the
levee would be a paying investment for
the railroads and would eventua ly re-
suit in cen traljzing the railroad bust
ness 10 one section of the town, but
without these G, n1itiors to the,ra ilroads
the building of the levee would b.
dead loss and 1 see no reason why the
different compan es should take action
in the matter. My idea is that the
best plan would De for Mayor Mag. fin
to announce his plan and
then the railroad representatives could
meet aud d scUss the feast biility of the
plan and form some cOmbina ton by
which they could work jointly in tn
matter. | do not think the railroads
will build levee to project Ell Paso
from the hOod waters of the Rio Gran
de. unless there is some way for levee
10 prove beneficial to Uuem. By giving
them the right to build and operate
tracks on the levee, allowing them to
build union 6epots for freis ht and pas
sengers and refusing TO grant future
franchises to new railroads, the rail-
roads now here could probably see
their way clear to build Ievee and
matt tain it at tn -ir own expense"

What Col. BadblOOd Thinks.

Col. Bad blood said this morning to
HERALD reporter: Times have
changed in Texas since the days Of Ben
Thompson. Yves Hardin and John Sell
man and other noted spirits of Texas
history. Formerly it was the custom
when a man wanted to kill anothe- to
go out and give his opponent a coup-d'
grace without further warning than the
sound of pistol. Now it is different.
When some hot blooded Texan wants
to do up his opponent he jumps in a
hack and goes home after a shot gun or
a winchester and returns to the scene
of action while his opponent patiently
awaits his arrival smoking a cigar
wrong end foremost. Ga his arrival a
line of battle ia drawn up on each side
and then the police come along and
disarm the com batants- The next evO-
luton in wou'd-be killings will be that
the killer will get the McGinty band
and squad of police to march in front
of the hack as he moves onto his oppo-
nent. His opponent will patiently
await the arrival of his killer with the
Oroner, the undertaken and his coffin
already picked out. To add to the
brilliancy of the affair he will have
time to go home and put on clean
clothes and pull off his boots and get a
shave. Oh! there is 10 more of the
good old days left to u.s." sighed Colo
mel Bad blood, as he walked away and
wiped tear from his wicked eye.

Berlin.
Berlin is almost as discouraging in
it's other landmarks of its notable Ger
mans. as in its public statues. 1t is al
most as bad as New York, where few
houses now stand that were in exist
ence when Franklin and Washingto ton
were alive. London is rich in build
iDgs associated with great men, and an
American oan hardly walk from West
minister to St. Paucs without recalling
a dozen names of men whose lives are
dear to him. Berlin has, however,
been almost built anew since 1870. l
can remember whole streets that were
different when 1 was boy There are,
to be sure, a few instances of memorial
plates being affixed to houses where
notable Germans have lived, but even
i'll these cases the houses themselves
are an uuiuterested portion of an uuin-
teresting street. Tie Prussian kings
adOred uniformity in sire It
architecture, As well as in the dress
ing of soldiers. and that may be the
reas on why today the most beautiful
streets of Berlin furnish less in,eres:
to a stranger than the grimiest alleys
of London with their charming diver
sity of dirty fronts. The houses here
are all equally high, equally broad.
equally gaudy on the outside, and
equally devoid of individually within
The Anglo-Saxon owns his house, and
makes it comfortable for himself and
his ia m:ly. The Prussian lives in an
apartment house, along with perhaps
dozen more families, all O!
them subject to the petty tyranny
of porter WHOSE duties are danger
ou-ly near to those of a police agent.
Thus the Individual taste of a Berlin
artist, writer, actor or other notable
resident fit DIS no expression through
his architectural surroundings. A
HeJmholtz. a Mommsen, Mcneil. or
Virchow is in Berlin as lit lie idep-
titled with his house as soldier with
his barracks. This form of living has
its conveniences, particularly to
bachelor, but is not conducive to in
terest in those who seek the literary
| ndmarks Of great capitals.-Harper's

The New Gold Fields.

Brit.on Davis has just re- urned from
the COrralitos ranch and this morning
to HERALD reporter said that there
was 10 doubt about gold being dis
covered on the Corralitos property in
Mexico. He said parties were working
many of The gulches in the Escondido
mountains and were taking out cousid-
cradle gold. New diScoveri, had also
been made in the Pajtrito mountains
west of Casas Grandes and also in the
Janos hills in the northwest corner OF
the Cor altos land grant. TIE parties
are working quietly ard are not tellip g
just how much gold they are getting,
but that they are taking out sufficient
to pay is evident from the fact tina,
they continue their work. The work
is al done by the place process and
most of i is by dry washers.
Mr.. Davis says that DIR. Scovall and
a party went out from the Corralitos
ranch prospecting last Sunday with
pans and returned with about fifty
c. IS worth of gold a piece for their
days work. There is gold there and by
prospecting the country is the only
way to tell just in What quantities it
can be found.

Atlanlta. Ga, Sept. 29.-The recent tang1e between the liquor dealers of Att lanta, the railroads and the state off, cials eff South Carolina over the ship ment of liquor into the latter state has reached novel climax. Under the ru1- ing of Judge Simonton as to what con- sti isuIted nn original package, the rail- roads have been sending large quan,ti- ties of liquor across the line and the dis peiisary business has ceased almost en- tirely Last week the Southern railway refused to co.itinue Inc business. anl has a big lawsuit on in consequence. The Seaboard Air-Line notified the dealers that they would continue to carry liquor urstil midnight last night, when yhe traf- ffc would cease. In the scramble to take advantage of the limited time car load after car load of strong drink has been shsnpcd from this ci.y. one firm afcnsf sending seven cars. The result is that m lNslanta liquor is al premium.

It is sup pcsed that the woman was hanged by nsgroes, who had been her companions lately. No effort has been made as yet to apprehend the guilty parties. She was a married woman, but for years her reputation has been unsavory, and finally she was driven to the mountains, wh re she slept in the fields and in the woods.

Paris, Sept. 29.-Under order from the sanitary authorities the Paris prefect of police has issued Instructions to bar bera which requires all metal tools which they use in their trade shall be plunged into boiling soap studs immedi- ately after using. The barbers are fur ther required to substitute metal combs for those ordinarily used, that the combs may be the more easily cleansed and disinfected Scissors, razors, clip pers and brushes must be placed in a stove. heated to 100 degrees cent.grade, or in receptacle containing pre- scribed chemical solution, before use. Finally, the Paris barbers must wash their shaving brushes in boiling water before and after using. and finishing with one customer they must wash their hands before passing to another.
