were carried on until the stiffness of

Select Knights in the point of enter
tanning and banqueting. The social
given in Odd Fellows hall Monday
night by the Knights was success.
The program was superb; the supper
was a feast. The hall was crowded
to its fullest capacity with the
K1ights aud their friends.
The program opened with music by
the male quartette. This quaTtette
was never heard to better advantage
than last niglt. Messrs. Burks,
Wetzel, Woods aud Purvis were in ex-
cellent voice aud delighted the audi
ence with their sones. An address of
welcome by G. c. Curtis, was followed
with a vocal 1uet by Mrs. W. II. Nc
Bride and Mrs. H. L. Woods. These
popular yOcalistS were encored, and
responded with the choice selection,
"a Summers Day." Miss May Myers
gave one of her choice recitatiOns
and the male quartette followed with
another selection. The last thing on
the program was the supper, which
was spread in Masonic hall. Everyone
present took an active part in this
number aud carried it out thoroughly.
The S. X. ladies proved themselves
experts in the culinary art, and the
guests last night thoroughly enjoyed
the rare assortment Of delicacies that
had been prepared for their benefit.

with the supper, however, for the

Pecos Valley Extension.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Feb. 2l.-J. ].
Hagerman. head Of the Pecos Valley
railway aud irrigation enterprises, ac-
cOmpanied by representatives OF the
Schlitz Brewing company, Milwaukee,
passed up the road this morning en-
route from Eddy, n. NJ, to Colorda
Springs. The break in the steel rail
pool has greatly encouraged the out
look for a new railroad construction
in the southwest and 1t is probable
that Mr.. Hagerman will within few
days place the order for steel for lay
lug the extension Of the Pecos Valley
road from Roswell to the Texas Pan
handle, as thereby he can save $3.50, 900
over the price Of rails two weeks ago.
This extension will greatly increase
the business Of the Santa Fe at this
point. The VOICE has heretofore
explained The merits Of connecting
line from Roswell, N. NJ, TO Panhan-
die, Tex, making a northern outlet
for the products of the great Pecos
Valley. 1t is exceedingly gratifying
to note that the extension is likely 10
be made in the early summer. 1t will
prove to be a good thing for Yelling
ton and will materially increase the
force Of Santa Fe employees at this
place. Only a comparatively short
distance will then remain for the Sam
ia Fe to build a connecting line from
Roswell to Carthage, or Albuquerque,
N. NJ, for direct southern route to
California. As the VOICE has
heretofore stated, the future outlook
for Wellington is indeed gratifying.
