BIG BUSINESS IN SIGHT
Bright Prospects In GStOre For the
Santa Ee.

President Ripley. of the Santa Fe.
recently remarked that "Prospects for
the road this fall were never so bright
in all the roads history. There is
more freight in sight along the line
than ever before. In Oklahoma and
Kansas the corn crop is simply enor-
nous. In the latter state the yield is
estimated at $50, OOO, 900 bushels and 1t
may go over that. The wheat crop
was not good, but the corn will more
than make up for it. We are prepar-
ing to do tremendous business in
shipping feeders from Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona to the cornfields
of Oklahoma and Kansas, to be fstten-
ed for the Kansas City and Chicago
markets. Requests for cars are COM
ing in now for future shipments, aud
it will be the busiest fall in the history
of the road

A SCRAP OF HISTORY
How a Prominent FL paso Merchant
Missed His Guess.

missed Ills OuSSS.
In his talk at the Parfitt banquet on
g. turdsy evening, Mr.. Martin OF the
S. P. related the following item OF his
tory which will be of interest as touch
ing the growth of FL Paso.
''Durlng q recent hunting trip TO the
Sacramento mountains in company
with our houored mayor Judge Magof-
fin and several other hunters, upon
which occasion, by the way, most OF the
game escaped serious injury, the
mayor being in reminiscent mood
gave US scraps of Ell PasO's early MS
tory which were highly interesting.
He said that fur or five years before
the advent OF the Southern
rived ENTHUSIASTICALLY, the Cslifor-
mia papers were eagerly read oy the
citizens of this little burg. It was gem
orally the custom to gather at the
Schulz store, and listen to the reading
of the papers by one OF the party. Inc
papers had been for long time dis
cussng the rumors arising from place
to place OF the building Of southern
trenscontinentsl line. Finally what
appeared to be an authoritative article
to the effect that Huntington and
associates had announced that
wor X would shortly be started on the
line which was to run through Yuma,
Tue son and Ell Paso and proceed east
wardly to San Antonio, appeared, and
was read to eager listeners. Doubts
were expressed by many. One gentle
man, now prominent citizen and
wealthy merchant, after reading the
article to his auditors, announced his
disbelief in the rumor. He could not
believe it possible that any one with
money would be found foolish enough to
build line of road over the parched
desert west of here when there were
almost DO compromising features in
8; gh;. He reasoned it out something
like this: An ordinary freight car
would carry about thirty to forty
Thousand pounds. An ordinary engine
would haul about twenty or twenty
five of such cars loaded
with provisions, merchandise. eto.
etc. Such train load
of supplies would last the people of
Ell Paso something over three years.
True the road might haul an COCA
eional car of freight though to San
Antonio, or perhaps even 80 far as
Houston or New Orleans, but this
would add 30 very little to the revenues
of the road as not to be worth talking
about.
That the gentleman 3 representation
had rather q dampening effect on the
little crowd, ia evidenced by the fact
that even the JUICE himself was rather
disheartened and as he picked his way
home through the mesquite growing
thick and high where now ts located
our best business buildings, he was
rather inclined to look upon the pro-
position as visionary scheme which
would all end in talk.
Ell Paso now has seven roads, all do
ing we'll The Southern Pacific alone
handled almost four thousand loaded
cars through Ell Paso in the month OF
June of the present year, not to
speak of nearly seven hundred
cars containing freight for the White
Oaks line and for Mexico and for Ell
Paso proper. It together with the G.
II. and S. A. railroad company dis

Best AI-Year Route to California

Is the Southern Pacific. The travel
ing public can easily understand this
when it is known that this is the only
line running coaches through to Cali
fornia points without change, the only
line running tourist sleepers direct
from FL Paso to Los Angeles and San
Francisco, the only line running pull
man palace cars direct to the above
nameI cities without traus-S and the
only line running buffet cars. thus en-
sbling passengers to obtain their meals
at hours convenient to themselves.
Seventeen hours shorter time to Los
Angeles than by other lines
No changing cars during nights,

Union Pacific Encounters A
Drawback To Oil Sprinkllng Sys-
men,.

The laying of dust by the Union Pa
cifc by sprinkling with Oil has been
successful so far as dust is concerned,
but has met with new difficulty
which may prove bothersome to the
road.
Sparks from the locomotive have
several times started fires in the oil
and have blown the flames to the grass
and weeds along the right of way,
aside from burning the ties. It is said
that the Union Pacific will meet this
problem by placing spark arresters 10
every engine on the system.

TAKEN FOR A SHARK AND BADLY
HURT.
A very unfortunate affair occurred at
Port Norfolk between 1890 and l
o'clock Friday morning, by which Mr..
William Bruce, wealthy and popular
resident. received a very serious wound
from 4 pistol shot. fired by one OF n
party of three men who were in a sail
boat near by.
Mr. Penneo. keeper of the bath house
and pier at Port Norfolk. who told the
Virginian-Pilot's informant of the oc-
currence, stated that he noticed Mr.
Bruce swimming on his back in front
OF the pier, and saw a sail boat NOV
ing towards him with three white men
in it.

an object moving about in the water.

brought Dr. Corbell. After putting n
temporary bandage on the wound, from
which Mr.. Bruce had lost considerable
blood. he removed him to his office.
where he rendered him all necessary
surgical aid.
DIR. Corbel says that although Mr..
Bruce's injuries are of serious ma
ture, they are not necessarily fatal. He
was suffering much pain yesterday, and
is unable to talk.
Mr.. Penreo says that while he does
