| of 100 cars of canned tomatoes passed
through here within the past few days
bound for Manila ,ao' e. f,i.s<-.--.
The railroad boys are figuring on
giving hay ride in the near future.
Ysleta has been picked out as the point
where they will feast and dance.
Work is being pushed rapidly on
the E. P. & N. E. extension and Ell
Paso will be receiving the benefit of
the new coal ields early in the fall.

grand success. - .---r
On next Tuesday morning the new
flag will be hoisted in the G. a.. & S.
A. yards and it is one that the boys
may we'll feel proud Of. It is made of
the best of silk and is IL by "a feet in
size. rs
When the day switch crew reported
for work this morning in the G. b. &
s. A. yards they found plenty of work
before them. One of the switchmen re-
marked that it seemed for time as if
trains were coming in from all direc-
tions.
1t would be very difficult at present
to convince the train men on the west
end of the Southern Pacific that there
is warmer place on earth
then the Mohave desert. They say
hat it is impossible for thermometers
to live there. ~
Jerry Linehan, the track boss at
Molone, on the G. b & S. A. who left

ed when he left here that he was going
to be married while on the Aud Sod
but Jerry denies the charge and insists
that he Is just as single now as when
he left here. He will enter the en-
ploy of the G. 81. & S. A. again in al
few days.
The M. K. 81 T. made another re-

to keep his old force until fall, when |

The Katy company has secured a
permit for the Muscogee city council |
% erect q new freight depot, which is
made imperstively necessary by steadi-
y increasing traffic. Since the big

tructure in the rear of the Patterson
block, but this falls of its purpose.
The new structure, however, is only for
temporary use and later will be re-
placed with one much larger and more
