WASHINGTON, April 15.-Both army

THE RAILROADS.
Contract for PecOs Valley Extension
TO beIet TOday

People in the Panhandle of Texas
are much elated over the progress be-
ing made by the Pecos Valley Railroad
company. General Manager E. o
Faul' nsr is in the city. and gives
sOme INTERESTING facts relative to the
extension from Roswell, N. NJ, to Am
ariilo, Tex. Over 164 miles of road
are being operated from Pecos city to
Roswell. At Roosevelt the
urv urns northeast, and keeps
at urse to Amarillo, 206
miles. At the latter point, which is on
the Fort Worth and Denver road,
injection is made with the Santa Fe,
which has acquired trackage rights
over the Denver road from Panhandle
City via Wash burn, 32O miles north of
Fort Worth. The lire will run through
the Capital Syndicate lands, and open
up one of the greatest breeding
and grazing grounds in the United
States, end all north of the quarantine
line. .Cattle,can then be moved'from Kos
we'll to Amarillo in ten hours; now 1t
axes twenty days, for. rather than go
through the quarantined part OF the
5 ate of Texas, cattle are driven across
the country. That is expensive, and
lepgthens greatly the time of get
ting to market. In going from
Roswell to St Louis or Kan
sss City, passengers will be saved
$50 to 400 miles Of travel. Another
coed feature is the rapidly growing at
5ention to sheep husbandry in that
part of Texas and New Mexico, and
the cbeapenine of the rate to market
will give an impetus to this indus
try.
The people of Amarillo gave q
bonus of $4,000 to secure the road,
and for five years the PecOs Valley
md Northwestern railway and the
Santa Fe agree to maintain train
divisions at Amarillo. Manager
Fs ulkner is authorized to let the con-
'racts at once, and this will be done
,oday and the actual work of construc-
lion will begin by May 1. It is expect
