NEW TRACK LAYING
Seventy-FiYe Pound Steel Rails Be.
ing Laid On the 6. II.

Between Ell Paso and Maria on the
G. e.. no fewer than five steel gangs
IRE at work tearing up the old track
and relying. While the old rails
weighed only 81 pounds to the yard,
the new steel rails wei IN IS pounds,
and are of the N ost approved type.
Almost every other tie is taken up
and replaced with new ties which
have been subjected to the new steam
ing and picking process whereby a
tie lasts some ten years longer than
those not subjected to treatment. On
each tie the rails rest on a tie-plate,
and this both prevents unevenness in
the road bed, aud also keeps the rail
from cutting into the tie. Already
some 100 miles of track hiss been re-
laid. and the Ell Paso division Of the
G. II. will soon have one of the finest
and fastest roadbeds in the southwest +.

In returning these cars, instead of
hauling them back as empties and

S. p. ASSESSMENT.
Judge Cox Thinks the Local Pro-
perty Too Highly Valued.

Judge S. J. Cox. of Houston. tax ad-
juster of the G. H.. was in Ell Paso to-
day, before the council board of equali-
cation, adjusting the tax assessment
for 1899. The increase is small. Judge
Cox returned to Houston on No. 9.
In an interview, Judge Cox said,
1.-THE assessment this year of our local
property is S15O,0O0, which, according
to my figures, is an increase of about
500. 900, This seems to me entirely
too much, and this is actually so to 60
per cent more, proportionately, than
the assessment of our properties in
San Antonio and Houston. At the
same time, we have no kick to make.
We do not think we have been dis
eliminated against since all other pro-
perty assess ment has been advanced
in proportion. My comment is sim
ply that all property is too highly as
sessed."

| BELMONT, A. T., Oct. 7.-DeWise
Burkhslter, of BelIemont, A. T., and
Miss Abigail George, of Des Moines,
| Iowa, we're married at the home of the
| bride Sept. 22nd last. Mr.. Burkhalter
\ was connected with the freight depart
| ment of the Santa Fe at Ell Paso about
where he was employed as clerk to tn
superintendent of the tie picking
works, for the Santa Fee Pacific.
Traffic on the Santa Fe Pacific is un-
sually heavy for this time ofyear though
the road is badly Handicapped for want
of water. They have been using q
large engine known as the Player Hog
for the past ten days, but they have
not given the satisfaction expected aud
vision. Double heading of engines has
not proven a very great success on the
10 cunt tain division, and the large en-
gines are too heavy for the work.
Track laying of the Santa Fe and
Grand Canon road has not been COM
menced, it is generally thought tn at
the main cause is owing to the high
price of steel, all steel for this road
was to have been purchased from the
Santa Fee Pacific but the latter road is
paying for steel now being delivered
with old steel and receive a dollar
more per ton for the old than they pay
for new.
Frank Ebert, who purchased large
mum Der of California sheep when they
were so low last year, has about made

as the Box Makers Com bine, Mr.. Den
lis is fortunate in having all the water
necessary to run his interests near at
hand while other mills in the country
have had to haul large portion of
theirs.
The Cinder Pit operated by the

LINK AND I'm.

this division of the Ssnta Fe, was in
Topeka last week, along with other
trainmaster and superintendent,
stringing the winter time card.
sin the time card room at the Santa
Fe general Offices in Topeka there are
several large charts, representing the
| var ious divisions and branches, and
both sides are ruled off into small
squares. The spaces between the YER
| tical lines represent each five minutes
of the running day of twenty four
hours; those between the horizontal
lines represent the stations at which
| any train may stop.
| SIN the operations connected with ar
ranging q card the trainmaster must
work with thorough knowledge of
| the road. He must be intimately &C.
quainted with every inch of it.
"The purpose he has in view in max
ing his time table is to so arrange the
runs of each engine and train on the
road that there will be no waste of time
and no confusion. He knows that GER
tain trains must be given the right of
way over all trains.
"F'or instance, train Is to leave Ell
Paso at 1000 O'Clock, a. m., to arrive
at Albuquerque at 6:55 O'Clock p. m.
The trainmsster takes a thread and
tacks one end of it in the space at the
upper part of the sheet, which is mark
ed in large figures 1000, and Oh q line
with EEL PasO". The other end he
draws along to the side of the sheet
and attaches it in the space under the
figure 6:55 and on a line with the sta
tion marked ''Albuquerque".
Cali intermediate stations touched
by the passing train are also indicated
by tack placed in its appropriate
square, with the thread wound around
it, and the result is in many cases q
zigzag line, for the distances between
stations are often unequal, and, be-
sides, q train will go faster on one part
of the road than upon another, by rea-
son of grades. etc.
Where trains have a clear road the
trainmaster has simple enough job
of it. His real hard work comes in
when trains meet each other. This
must be prov i'd ed for in the time table |
and many weary hours are spent in so |
placing train that it may switch at
q given moment, to permit the other to
pass by. Having finished with his
passenger trains to his satisfaction,
the maker of the time table proceeds
to get his freights out OF the way.
sometimes it requires days for the |
to get all straight. The |
times of these freights, like the more |
important passenger trains, are fixed
BY means of strings, and when the
trainmaster is through the sheet looks
like piece of crazy lace work.
'Every road has a number of trains
along it's line that never find
place upon time table. These are
;he 'extrss," the emergency freights;
wholly upon the conductor who studies
he time to BILE and takes what time he
IAN get between the runs of other
rains"

THE SPANISH
LANGUAGE
Should Be Taught In The
Public Schools Of The
United States.
SR. IGNACIO MARISCAL
Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Expresses Wonder That The
Spanish Language Is Not Taught
On Our SChOOS1.

| Senior Ignacio Mariscal, the Mexi
can minister OF foreign affairs and the
representative of President Diaz, tc
| the Chicago carnival, on his arrival ir
the United States, called attention tC
the fact that English is taught in the
schools of the Mexican repu bile as well
as Spanish and expressed wonder that
Spanish was not taught in the public
schools of the United States.
st is, indeed, rather singular that
the commercial and social intercourse
between the United States and Mexico
the past two decades has not empha-
sized the importance of adding Spanish
to the list of languages taught IN the
public free schools.
"Texas especially might have done
so to great advantage. Mexico is
to promote the most perfect social har-
mony and good fellowship and business
relations u knowledge of Spanish is
absolutely indispensable"
When Superintendent Putnam was
asked to express an opinion regarding
the study of Spanish he said:
1.-THE sister republic is in advance of
US in this matter, an. for some years
the. public and'private educational insti
tutiOns of that country have taught
English, and in doing SO have exercised
wisdom and policy that greatly en-
hances the opportunities of her citizens
in conducting business with this coun-
try.
1.-THE late war has created q great
necessity for q knowledge of Spanish,
as great many Americans are going
into the new possessions where the lam
guage spoken is in the main Span
ish.
SIN addition to the advantages of
Spanish from local standpoint, we must
consider our intimate relations with
the Spanish speaking nations.
ut has always been our purpose in
the schools of this city to prepare
the children to speak Spanish we'll and
most of them do it. For a number of
reasons our boys and girls should learn
the language, for after leaving school
this city and they need to be conversant
in the language. Then, to many of
our school children when they enter
into commercial life seek Mexico,
where the opportunities are many land
of course in this case knowledge Of the
Languages is indispensable.
SIN the education of teachers, those
who will be selected to teach in the
and in Cuba must have q |
attach great Importance to Spanish in
our schools and as we devote four years
10 it's study, We expect the children to
speak 1t huently.
Large numbers of Americans visit !
Mexico every year to whom the native |
tongue is unintelligible, and it must |
1etract greatly from their pleasure |
and convenience. The higher class of |
Mexicans are q most hospitsble, in
'elligent people, and Ameri- |
IAN tourists are loud in their l
praises of those with whom thew come
n contact socially, and it is fact to
,e really deplored that we have so |
ong neglected to instruct our youth |
q language promising so much to the
ocial and business interests of the
OuutrV,'
