4 Now a genius has Invented a machine
which is constructed to tell which way
the stock auotations are going In Wall
Street. While the description OF the
apparatus thus far given out is vague
IL appears that. generally speaking as
It We're, 'the propelling force OF the
machine are the quotations as they
make and change from hour to hour.
The inventor is so sanguine that mil
lions can be made by the barometric
action of his device that the first thing
he wants to do Is to sell Il million dol
lars worth of capital stock to build
machines for general distribution, at
a price, among the eager spectators.
Whether his machine will record where
IT'S own stock is going to some day is
not stated.

A Las Vegas View Of II.

Speaking Of the rumor that the
Santa Fe is to build the much
talked of cutoff from a point on the
PecOs Valley line ln Guadaloupt
county, New Mexico, to Ysleta juno
ton. near Albuquerque, the Las
Vegas Optic says: = = 4 \ The project
to build an extension Of the Santa Fe
from Texas westward through Gen.
tral New Mexico has been a faVorite
one with the Santa Fe people fOl
many years past. The advantage OI
the route is found in the fact that il
will give easier grades and a shorter
route to the Pacific coast than al
present exists. The Santa Fe, IL the
scheme is carried through, will bt
able to handle business originating or
the Gulf OF Mexico with destination
points on the Pacific coast.
Should the Santa Fe run its trans
continental trains by way Of Amarillo
Texas, IL Is obvious that many New
Mexico points, including Las Vegas
will no longer be on the main line Of
the road. Just what effect this viii
have on the prosperity Of the towns
on the present main line Of the road
il the theory thus outlined is founded
on reality, remains to be seen.
The extension to Ysleta Junction
would probably run close to old tOrt
Sumner or Puerto de Luna, Guada
