Right of Way Dispute.

Mondays Mail contained an article
on how the Frisco people tried to
"work" the Santa Fe on, the right of
way question In Blackwell, o. T., by
shipping in material over the Hutchin-
SON & Southern and laying part of tn cir
track in town. Both roads were racing
to see which could enter Blackwell
first and secure the best right of way.
Tue Frisco people seeing they
couldn't win the race resorted to this
scheme to secure the coveted right of
way.
The Frisco's line. however didn't
stop the Santa Fe people who graded
over the right of way, Frisco's track
and all. The Frisco had done no grad
ing: simply laid the track. The track
is now under high grade and if the
Frisco people want it, they will have
to remove it. The Santa Fe people
claim the right of way by right of pur-
chase and defies the Frisco to throw
them off.-Wellington Mail.

A FINE HOSPITAL.
To be Built by the Central at Aguas-

The immense hospital which the
Mexican Central railway company will
soon construct at Aguascalientes,wh VIII ere
it's new mechanical headquarters will
be located, will undoubtedly be one of
the finest AID largest railroad estab-
lishments Of it's kind in the world.
The hospital building proper, with
it's auxiliary ests blishments will be To-
Gated, will form an Independent COM
munity, or rather town to itself. The
cost of the construction of the hospital
will be about $3.50, 600.
The plans for the establishment have
all been completed. except in few
minor details, and vera courteously
shown to Herald reporter yesterday
by Mr.. Lewis Kingman, the able chief
engineer of the Mexican Central.
The main and all the lesser buildings
will be modern 10 style, and very hand
some. They will be built of stone,
with brick trimmings.
The main building will be two stor-
les high. with length of 209 feet, and
depth of IS feet 1t will be entirely
surrounded by spacious veranda.
wards, one for American and one for
Mexican patients. There will be large
and spleudidly equipped operating and
drug rooms, kitchen and dining rooms,
bath rooms and other quarters. The
hospital will have it's own laundry and
bakery in separate buildings, and will
have cisterns. There will be separate
buildings for the morRue and other
institutions, and there will be stables
for the horses and COWS belonging to
the establish ment. The entire hos
pital establishment will cover some
two acres of ground.
Work will be begun on the hospital
in few weeks.-Mexican Herald.

Topeka coal companies have notified
the road that they will bid for the con-

Another Road For Tamaullpds.

In a recent report to the United
States governme Mt, Consul Griffith, OF
Matamoras, says:
81 have to inform the department
that one of the local capitalists who
has just arrived from the city of Mex
leo brings reliable Information to the
effect that the Compania Sautena has
been granted, by the Mexican govern
ment, q concession to build q branch
railroad from Matamoras, in the state
of Tamaullpas, to Moutemorelos, con-
Meeting there with the Mexican Gulf
railroad :. Eight thousand dollars is the
subsidy which the concession carries,
and further assurance that the COM
pany has 5000, 900 in cash will render
the proposed construction easy. The
leading citizens here entertain the ut
most confidence in this project and feel
greatly encouraged by the news that
the concession and subsidy are already
secured. Inasmuch as President
Diaz two years ago declared
that no more concessions
for railroads would be granted by the
Mexican Government, unless positive
assurance were given of the ability and
intention of the company seeking sue b
concession TO construct the railroad,
one may conclude that the near future
will witness the commencement of the
development on q large scale of the
varied agricultural and mineral reso-
urces OF the State of Tamaulipas."-
