not give them a vacation, but you can
help them immensely. Those great or

Most Valued Outlet

Sweetwater. Tex, March 17.-Colonel
J. r. Mann of the Santa Fe, with head
quarters at Topeka, came today from
Canadian City by private conveyance
He was accompanied by Engineer
Clark. While here he took a ride over
the Colorado Valley railroad, and upon
their return Mr.. Clark pronounced this
the best piece of road he had inspected
in Texas.
When asked his opinion of the value
of the road to the Sweetwater country
Colonel Mann said: When the Colo
road Valley railroad is in operation
from Sweetwater south to any point
intersecting the Santa Fe line it will
give a most valuable outlet over the
Santa Fe to the gulf at Galveston and
the northeast via Kansas City and Chi
cago, also through the great vest to Cal
ifOrnia. If this line is also extended
north to Canadian City it will, as our
general mana ger, J. J. Frey, said at
Dallas the other day, give our road a
connecting link, making a Santa Fe
circle through the traffic belt of the
greatest section in the union"

NATURAL GAS
Exploded and Almost Demolished an
Anderson Hotel

Anderson, Ind, March 1.-THE North
structure located in the North Anderson
factory district, was badly damaged by
an explosion of natural gas early this
morning. The gas seems to have es-
capped from a broken pipe in the cellar
and to have accumulated in room on
the first floor. The conclusion was so
great that it blew out any fire that might
have existed, and this doubt saved
the lives of many.
The hotel was filled with people and
most of them were in bed at the time.
AS though by miracle not one of them
was seriously injured. The office furni-
