Up to the hour of going to press
there has been no appointment made
as terminal superintendent at this end
of the T. p. Interest in the appoint
ment is running high but few OF the
interested ones care to discuss the
matter. There are so many good
men after the position" said one of
the slightly interested yesterday, that
Mr. Thorne may seek 20 effect q COM
promise among all of the applicants by
declaring the Office abolished. This,
in my estimation, would be the proper
thing to do under the circumstances,
as there is no particular Importance
attached to the position of superintend-
emit of terminals at this end OF the line.
If we enjoyed union depot where the
interests Of several roads were at stake
under the same roof, then the necessity
of this appointment would be worthy
of discussion I don't mean to say, re-
member, that this office will be abol-
ished. On the contrary, 1t may be
filed by appointment today, but l sim
cerely doubt it,"
The citizens of Temple, Texas, met q

with one full passenger train for $7O,-
900. The joint committee will endea-
vOr to raise that amount between the
two cities and will accept the offer as
above when actual work will begin.

The retail hardware dealers of
Texas will meet in Waco, Texas, next
Tuesday to register kick against the
Texas railroad commission. The OBJ
lection is on account of the order
number of articles allowed shipped in
mixed car lots, an order which, the re-
tailers claim, is q detriment to them
and helpful only to the hardware job
bers of the state. There promises to be
a hot time at the meeting.
Business is easing up little on all
roads running into Ell Paso after q
very profitable season and the rolling
stock bears noticeable evidences of the
task performed. The next few weeks
will be occupied in placing every thing
in shape for the coming season, which
promises to be equally as profitable
as the one fast drawing to close.
