could run over existing tracks, and by
a few cut offs distances could easily be
shortened. The third site is at the
junction of the Santa Fee aud Southern
Pacific at the west end. Here again
every line could enter directly over
existing tracks or easy cut offs. The
depot would always be easily Access
sible. This arrangement would be
open to the objection of using the pre-
more than at present. In fine, the
effort should be to get rid of the pre-
sent Southern Pacific tracks through
the city or reduce tnelr
use to mioimum: and to
get union depot as soon as possible at
a point tn at will always be convenient
to both the roads and the public. and
will not be outgrowp. These condi-
lions are met sd mirsbly by the present
Texas and Pacific depot, or by the east
end junction point in lesser
degree. Whatever is done
or not done, any city
administration that permits the
Southern Pacific railway to encroach
on the public highway one step further
ought to be put on record as being, In
dividuslly and collectively, enemies to
Ell Paso's welfare. And every effort
should be devoted to securing a union
depot as soon as possible. There could
be no better nucleus for the city to
grow up around.

FCARLSBAD, N. M, town at which
a good deal of fun has been poked, has
established free circulating library.
This is something Ell Paso has not yet
been able to do and it is to our dis
grace. The present public library is
carried on by subscription. The read
ing room is free, but books can not be
taken out except by payment OF the
regular fee. The library is soon to
move into the new city hall, and then
the city council, under authority given
specifically by the charter, ought to
make provision for paying librarian
and providing for light and heat so
that the library can be kept open day
and evening. A public library ia one
of the best conserving and purifying
agencies any community can provide.
It is splendid investment. VI

WANTED, A UNION DEPOT.

No SUBJECT is more frequently
brought up in conversation among our
citizens than that of union depot.
Whenever two or three people get TO-
gether the matter is pretty certain to
be touched sooner or later. Somehow
the rumor started that the Pierson
hotel property was to be used for a
union depot. The paragraph about
this published in the HERALD has
caused good deal of discussion. Some
people express the opinion that that
site would be an ideal one for a union
depot. They chow how close to the
center of the city it is and how utterly
impossible it will be to GUST the South
ern Pacific from it's present holdings.
They talk of sunken tracks, via
ducts, and q minimum of switching in
the city that could be insisted upon.
Other people, with better Judgment,
oppose further extending the grasp
the Southern Pacific railroad already
has on the best part of town, and favor
reducing to minimum the running of
trains through the heart of the city.
They cay all efforts should be directed
toward getting q union depot where it
will be convenient to all the roads and
convenient to the city, without in
terfering unnecessarily with the much
used streets. There are three practical
sites for union depot that will meet
requirements. One is at or near
the present site of the Texas & Pacific
station. This site is favored by most
people. A fine union depot that would
be credit to the city and to the roads
could be built very near the court
house. Into it would run directly over
tracks at present existing, the G. Il. &
S. A., Texas & Pacific and White
Oaks. By building short connection
of few blocks, the Santa
Fe, Mexican Central, and Sierra
Madre would enter directly from the
south. The Southern Pacific could
either come in directly over the latter
track, or back in over the G. II. & S.
A. track as above described. This
station, while at the very center of the
city, would be at a point where it
would not interfere with the traffic of
the city, or unduly injure any section
ON account of noise. ALL the tracks
would enter over streets used little or
not at all, and not likely soon to be
even built up to any extent. Another
site that is often mentioned is the juno
tiou of the White Oaks, Southern
Pacific, G. n. & S. A, and Texas and
Pacific at the east end of town. This
site will some day be near the heart of
the city. 1t is now easily accessible and
eight minutes from the postoffice. A
station built there would be in COM
manding position. Into it every line

AS an answer to all this from fifty to

Shelton, and his daughter answers them.
The lowest they enclose is 81. 1t is easy
to get a reply. Faith is not necessary
All that is required for your 81 is "recep-

latest cure is insanity. He never saw

The end was not far-he got in the habit
of appearing in the pulpit drunk as q
lord. But his hold on doctrine seemed all
the stronger. Factions arose. The
church split Shelton and his band of
disciples were communicated.
They started a second congregation
and the cornerstone of it was that the
minister could drink all he wanted The
vestry jug wasn't enough. He stopped
at saloons on the way to church and
never preached without being drunk The
climax came when he announced himself
the Trinity.

so drunk he could hardly stand
He called on one of the siters to ac-
knowledge his divinity. She arose in

This was too much. Even his long
suffering supporters threw him over
